It’s important for me to have grass to keep the dogs away from the ticks. Since I like the grass, I put about 2-3 days a year into maintaining it and making it as nice as I think is necessary. And mow 40mins a week. But growing grass can be just as rewarding as growing anything else.

So doesn’t that immediately knock it down some pegs from growing many other, edible things? It’s also not great for pollinators and other important participants of the food chain, so perhaps that reduces its mental rewards?
- taylodl 3y agoIf you can eat it, then so can a lot of other critters. The rabbits, possums, and squirrels quickly figure out you're the Grub Hub of the neighborhood. The crows will join in, too. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but if you think you're growing food for you to eat then boy are you in for a surprise! Also, most lawns I've seen will inevitably have clover, unless you're overly aggressive with your herbicides, which most people aren't. The pollinators are supported, not that that really helps anything since they're not commercial pollinators.
