“An unproductive lawn is a rich man's law"
It’s estimated that 40-50 million acres in the US are used for lawns, making it the largest irrigated crop using 4x the water corn does.
You won’t see any pretty manicured lawn around here.
Instead you see overgrown grass and weeds, electronic fencing, some lambs or goats…
A pretty lawn is good for nothing here.
It’s wasted space, wasted food, wasted ground, wasted time maintaining it…
Our lawn feeds many lambs throughout the summer months, growing them from little fresh weaned bottle babies into 80-100 # lambs that will fill freezers.
We use electronet and rotate them around the yard, they mow and fertilize the ground as they go.
We need less lawns and more grazing or gardens.
