fuck lawns and fuck the "grazing" pseudosciences promoted by UC Davis
I can understand the /fuck lawns/ ideology in some specific contexts, like lawns that are in water-starved regions. But I don’t get the across the board blanket stance that all lawns are always a bad idea.
What about buffalo grass lawns, as opposed to blue grass? Or whatever kinds of sustainable grass species that do not need to be watered artificially for a given region?
What about use cases like turf for dogs and kids to play on?
