lawns can be fine if you just plant native ground cover and never take care of it beyond mowing it when it gets too high. anything that needs to be watered or fertilized can go to hell though.

Americans: Grr I hate regulations. Freedom! Also Americans: 3 levels of government (that I hate and want to murder) isn't enough, I need a 4th layer of government to measure lawns with a ruler and that take away people's houses that also charges me a tax. skooma512 has issued a correction as of 21:39 on Apr 25, 2023 |

Yeah I just mow whatever the hell is growing in my yard and that's it. Mostly so I don't get eaten alive by ticks walking outside. One of my co-workers was aghast that a section in my back yard was mostly moss and clover. I'm not sure what would be better option than just mowing whatever feels like growing out there. wash bucket has issued a correction as of 23:07 on Apr 25, 2023 |

if you feel like getting serious about native plant landscaping there's all kinds of ways to go nuts with it or like xeriscaping or the opposite with like bioswales and poo poo but personally I'm a big fan of 'mow whatever grows' as a low effort, environmentally less-unfriendly approach ridiculous hoas and mandatory insane setbacks are another stupid related topic

mystes posted:Hey, suburban grass lawns treated with pesticides are playing a part too Habitat loss due to car sprawl is a huge contributor in of itself too. It sounds self-explanatory, but suburban sprawl encroaches onto areas that are not agriculturally productive and further reduces habitat. What is more, the topsoil is removed and sold off, so you lose all of the fungi, seeds, critters living in the soil, and centuries worth of soil organic material. Dense urban cities are heavily advocated for in the natural sciences.

All those old farms were built on the best available farmland which is now all developed and i just lol and lol

My mom lived in the San Fernando Valley in the 50s, and it was all corn fields and orange groves. Now it's all paved over, a maze of streets in a place that will never be put back, and not be made right again.
