Why should we not romanticize something like that? Excellent point for why having a nice lawn is such a wonderful thing. If we can do it without harming ourselves and the environment than more power to the American Lawn! “Romanticized nostalgia for agrarian life,” what a great concept.

Not only are grass lawns wasteful and pointless, they will one day be looked at as anachronisms of a 20th century that also featured huge gas-guzzler cars and the like. The whole cultural history of the 'lawn' as an idea is tied up with the growth of the suburbs and a romanticized nostalgia for agrarian life. The ideal use of these plots would be as gardens and play areas. Let the grasses grow free! Great tips, thanks!
