    in the mountains those that came to my cabin were always asking how I could grow a lawn and what I used was the locally grown grass hay for my goats. it was native and I seldom had to do more than throw the barn clean up where I wanted grass to grow in the fall and the snow did all the work untill mowing time, then the goats did that while fertilizing. Plus I transplanted wild strawberries out of the road saving their lives while their fruit were a perfect size for cold cereal. Truely a win/win for all.

    I love your position. Thank you. There are places where gardens are zoned out. But it is perfectly fine to have lawns that need to be sprayed with poisons that bleed into our water supply. Thank you so much!

    thank you for inspiring people to look at nature and what surrounds us again.

    Totally agree! I incorporate the weeds in my garden all the time for food. Try the leaves of the hedge bindweed (it grows wild creeping all over the 'good' plants) together with lamb's quarters, amaranth and nettle leaves to cook up a delicious spinach substitute.

    Dandelions are also known to lower blood sugar for a diabetic.. I was short of cash for buying vegetables and ate dandelion greens from a local park and my own backyard for a month....... lowered my blood sugar 20 points during that time. It is something to keep in mind.

    So funny -- she's a corporate lawyer and summarized gardens as "so many rules!"

    I eat weeds all year and have saved so much time and money, but the increase in biodiversity has enriched the planet

    love it! it never occurred to me that we can eat weed.. but now that i'm thinking about it, it seems like common sense; weed is just another plant.

    Maybe this was suppressed information along the categories of the stuff they don't want us to know.... Wouldn't be very profitable for the 1% and the GMO lovers. I'm gonna share this and start eating them!! Remember too keep a relationship with water as well!!
