The Reality of Lawns

Posted by eric seider over 11 years ago

The reality of having a green lawn in climates similar to Los Angeles means irrigation dependence and a horrible misssed opportunity for food production.

The accepted practcie of having a lawn in a climate such as Los Angeles, CA is clearly irresponsible when realizing the lack of rainwater harvesting but is borderline insanity when one realizes the opportunity for food production in one of the most ideal climates on the planet.
