What this is, is The Lawn Gone Blog -- dedicated to eliminating your lawn, or at least reducing it.
It costs too much water, time, energy, chemistry... to get only a green rectangle that (if you're an average suburbanite) you really only walk on when you're mowing it. And if you have a gardener, he walks on it more than you.
Kill your lawn and fire your gardener.
Grow food or flowers; grow natives and grow peace of mind.
