We don’t play golf or croquet so what’s with the lawn thing?and why do people enslave themselves to their lawn?we chose our larger tv home with the smallest front lawn we could find - and a backyard large enough for our solar and wind powered clothes dryer - a long rope.
We’re looking into alternatives to
Lawns - they are botanically a desert.

I'm also not a fan of big lawns. If this was actual grass, and not "green razor blades that feed the fire ants" I'd enjoy having a patch of lawn. But since what we have here, is what they call "invasive weeds" in Connecticut, I'd rather have a miniature field of wildflowers. I can't sit on the grass here. Walking barefoot is okay, as long as I don't stand still for more than 30 seconds (fire-ants).
