Except that’s actually not true at all. Higher crop yields are found when you allow multiple tiers of growth crops to occupy the same space as they would in nature. More co2 is absorbed and converted to food and wood under these conditions. Your grass lawn harbors a set of pests unique to that environment. Whatever imagined perfection you believe exists in lawns, it’s just as arbitrary an aesthetic choice as natural wildflower gardens or letting the thing go to pot.

Besides I had far more fun as a kid digging in the wilds than I ever did on my parents pristine yard.
