In this episode I talk about my arch nemesis . . . the perfectly groomed front lawn. Okay, that's a little dramatic. The traditional grass front lawn is terrible for the environment and in this episode I explain why, talk about solutions ranging from quick and cheap to labor intensive and fancy, and then we end with how front lawns were invented.
