Hey, did you know that the reason grass lawns are a symbol of prosperity is because they used to require lots of labor to maintain with scythes? Only the richest could afford groundskeepers on that scale! Remember, a lawn is a symbol of inequality, and the tradition of maintaining one is rooted in aspirations of nobility.

Like an auto mechanic that keeps sneaking gravel into your engine oil to keep you coming back, sheep poo poo on your lawn to make it grow faster. They do this purposely, out of spite. Instant jellyfish will certify

Only the richest could afford groundskeepers on that scale! Lawns were maintained by sheep or goats or whatever, though. That's why old cemeteries have those low wrought-iron fences around graves. They're to keep the animals from eating the flowers. (You'll also see them in other old parks, around flowerbeds, of course.)

Alright, if grass sucks, what's my northern European alternative that's actually comfy to lie down on in the summer? I will not be sleeping on mint. Bees are a plus

Why would you lie down on grass in a climate suited for trellised vines, stone footpaths, and ornate iron seating? Flat monoculture lawns are for peasants. Treat yourself like a king.

Mossy grass is very comfortable. I think the better question honestly is why do people not sculpt the ground into chairs and then upholster them in moss?

My landlords have basically let the back yard of our house go wild for the last 6 or 7 years but it was formerly a nicely manicured little landscape and in the spring it really busts out and feels like a private little green oasis in the middle of town for a bit. It's quite nice

Doesn't grow very tall, is soft, flowers for bees, and enriches the soil. Grass sucks. It gets all woody and scratchy. I've never found it comfortable to lie on.
