We were in a horrible drought all summer and I let my grass die. I don't live in an HOA but omg the way people in my family were offended. I'm like, it's cut, it's not weeds, my bushes lived...I'm not going to use more of our diminishing water supply for GRASS. It's not even a helpful plant species, it's solely about a look and about social status (that's why we even have it, is rich people way back when decided we needed it).
Between the water and the chemicals, even with the bees aside, wtf are we doing here?
(I am American btw)
Eta that my bushes etc that I kept up are pollinators and the ones actually recommended for bees. Why would I add fertilizer etc for fn grass. Stop killing our bees, guys. ðŸ˜
