A mowed lawn is an ecological disaster. My dad has a wild lawn (meaning not a monoculture turf), and every time I mow it for him it seems like such a waste of time. Fighting something that should not be fought, and never winning the war. Screw the war against higher plant life forms. Let the grass overgrow into scrub and into forest. I live in Kentucky, and as our climate is, naturally the majority would be forest due to the ample amount of precipitation here. If you want a lawn move to the grasslands! Ah! Well, in the meantime, we can little by little reduce our lawns. No one needs a large lawn. Conversion to wild or gardened areas is where we need to be going. And the first of the two requires the tremendous effort of simply doing nothing. The gardening idea is our gift to nature. The lawn idea is our deaf, dumb, and blind mimic. Absolutely I agree!
