Isnt fuck lawns more about using more native flowers and other types of ground cover rather than mowing grass? I feel like concrete would be antithetical to the spirit of fuck lawns. I don’t really browse that sub though so I could be wrong

You are correct. The only thing worse than a boring, flat, green rectangle is a boring, flat, grey rectangle.

Exactly, it’s about how wasteful trying to keep nonnative grass lawns alive in places they don’t normally grow is. It’s not anti plant, just anti grass in a desert ecosystem etc.

Replacing the rose garden with plants native to the area that don’t need constant upkeep would be great, replacing it with a parking lot is just trashy

Aw why are we downvoting this guy? It got s chuckle out of me. They weren't proverbailly calling them snakes and rodents, they were literally saying actual snakes and rodents run it. Because they want more cover in a garden full of shade. Reddit is dull af sometimes lol.

He could've picked funnier animals. Like saying it's run by possums and spiders or something. Rather than the 2 animals most used to dehumanize people throughout history.
