It’s like discussing politics or religion. A very touchy subject, especially when a lot of contractors make their living mowing lawns. I’m actually giving a seminar next week at the CENTS show in Columbus, Ohio about how to replace lawns with a meadow. A lawn for lawn’s sake is a waste of resources and a great polluter. Of course, kids need a place to run around, as do canines, but when I see a five or ten acre lawn (and I see many!) being mowed weekly for the joy of a green carpet, it makes me cringe.
