Kill Your Lawn

Every house in America should be fronted with a non-native monoculture with the maintenance requirements of a golf course and the ecological value of a strip mine ; a place where all flowers are called weeds and signs to the extent of ‘keep off’ are the norm. Does the idea seem a bit odd to you? It’s time to take a second look at this idea we call lawn. Learn about various options available, from whole lawn replacement to starting small with strategies for reducing inputs and increasing ecological value. From well-known plants to new introductions, learn various options that fit the needs of any lawn space.
