My hometown’s newspaper just published an opinion piece about the disastrous effects, ecologically and financially, that lawn care causes. Not totally surprising but it’s important to note that this is a retirement community in the bible belt!

Y’all, it’s working! Keep spreading the word!

    ELI5, why is lawn care/mowing bad? I know monoculture grass is iffy, but why are wood chips better than grass?

      Not really sure, something about nitrogen runoff maybe? I don’t really recall, but I have the memory of a goldfish so I could be way off.
