Our land is ready for planting and the seedlings are started and we are just waiting on a chicken wire fence to go it.
So when I saw this, it was interesting:

I do not have TV so will not be able to see it unless there is a way online.
This made sense in the article:
Top it off that my extended family members spend a bunch on riding mowers and weed killers, and lawn fertilizer. It makes more sense to grow food.
We have the garden but also some lawn and fruit trees.

5. Lawn a Wasted Resource In Every Aspect
It is estimated that in the U.S alone there are approximately 40 million acres of unsustainable lawns. In 2015 the fifth largest crop in the United States by acreage was the turf-grass lawn. These lawns are using valuable resources such as water, fertilizers, energy, fossil fuels, and no less importantly, our time. Each week across North America millions of gallons of gasoline are used in the weekly lawn mowing ritual. It seems a bit crazy when the U.S and Canada are doing everything possible to extract difficult highly polluting oil resources such as tar sands, deep water, and fracking that we are wasting our time and energy on making sure the lawn looks good for the neighbors.
