Showerthought: I realized my 'green' lawn was actually a huge water waste after seeing the bill jump $80 this summer.
I was watering my Kentucky bluegrass for an hour every other day until my neighbor, a retired botanist, pointed out that a single patch of clover uses 75% less water and helps the bees.

Ever think about how much that perfect lawn costs beyond the water bill? Like all the fertilizer and weed killer just to keep out the clover and dandelions. My dad used to spend every Saturday morning mowing and spraying, and for what? A boring green carpet that nothing useful can live in. Makes you wonder who decided that was the goal in the first place.
