Noticing major shifts in opinion on lawn care (slrpnk.net)

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!

I had a place in my backyard where grass wouldn't grow because it ponded too much. Have since covered with mulch to prevent any more erosion and planted blueberries and creeping phlox. Much prettier now!
