    lawns are shit and they were actually a tool for colonialism. they quite literally came in fashion because rich people in europe were flexin with their wealth because they could spend their land and work force for lawn that looked pretty and contributed for nothing. they even took those same lawn species for america so keeo that same flexing going on.

    fuck lawns. Go actually diverse meadow plants that bugs need!

    also lawns are insanely unecofriendly despite being plants.

      Except in europe we have trees, flowers, vegetables, plants. Real gardens.

      Not just an ugly lawn like this, you never see just a lawn with nothing on it.

      Are americans allergic to trees or something ?

        These days, you’ll lose your homeowners insurance for having trees anywhere near your house. They’re legit taking drone pictures on that now.

          I guess it could be because of big storms in some areas, but losing it really ? Why not just more expensive for vulnerables/dangerous trees ?

          This is nonsense

      Read the title, your argument shouldn’t be things better than lawns

      It should be that concrete is better or no argument at all

        I never said they were worse than concrete. just stated that lawns are shit and shouldn’t existed
