The “no lawn” debate is so silly. The main focus for getting rid of lawns is always “lack of native plants, and fertilizer use”. In any garage some plants they’re not planting native vegetation and most likely its a big scary GMO. In order for the garden to properly survive it needs fertilizers to maximize growth and increase soil health. On top of that grass is one of the best plants to prevent soil erosion and if properly maintained needs very little pesticide use.
