    I know this is not the point of this but raking (and mowing) lawns needs to stop being a thing. It’s bad for the lawn, the plants around, the essential bugs, and bad for the environment. Even aesthetically, it looks bland and stupid.

      I think monoculture lawns look really cool and doubly so if they are neat and clean with some nice landscaping to pair. It can be gorgeous.

      Unfortunately, it’s unethical, unsustainable, and I will avoid it myself, but to say it looks bland and stupid seems like your prerogative is to shame other people into doing the right thing. Which, good luck with that.

        That’s fair, probably just my subjective opinion. But i don’t understand why so many people don’t find a diversity of plants and colors more beautiful and simulating to the mind than a monoculture. It’s your prerogative to think it looks nice too i guess.

        I also think it looks really wasteful and ugly. Seriously I dont understand how beauty is in the eye in the beholder in this case.
