    Why would anyone waste all that fertilizer, water, seeding & mowing work + fuel costs just to make the damn ground green

      There are a substantial cohort of people who simply enjoy spending time in their living spaces. They like to make these spaces comfortable and tending to growing things brings them psychic rewards. It's deeply rooted in our psyche. I recently moved into an apartment with a flower box and boy, I had no idea you could get so much pleasure from a couple of herbs growing in pots. I love watering them and watching them grow and pruning them. I wish I had a much larger area to take care of. Maybe a house...with a yard...

        Buddy I've had a yard, it sucks. Gardens are where it's at. Parks rule. Also more clover and mixed grasses. More mosses. More rocks and paths through weeds.. Fuck lawn grass.

        Also growing lil plants feels way different from the lawn idk I can't describe it. A cactus is like on the opposite end of the spectrum from shitty lawn grass.

            Yeah I know. I'm saying grass is an ok compromise to me if it's limited to a field people use a lot. Fields are perfectly fine if allowed to get those nice clover flowers bees can actually pollinate
