VEGETABLES
IN FLATS AND POTS
In the 18th century, French aristocrats wanted to send to the peasants a message that said “We have far more land than we need and therefore can afford to waste some.” So they planted the fields surrounding their estates to grass and the green grassy manicured lawn we know today was born. This no doubt helped bring about a little thing called the French Revolution. But alas, lawns had already caught on as a status symbol. Today, Americans yearly spend $30 billion and use 270 billion gallons of water to maintain 23 million acres of lawn. In just one hour a power mower emits as much pollution as a car driven 350 miles. Lawns use 10 times the chemicals per acre as industrial farmland. In addition, the average vegetable travels 1500 miles to reach the consumer. But by using just a quarter acre of your lawn you could grow enough food to feed a family of 5 (or even your own family). These facts may sound depressing but what they tell us is that not only are lawns highly inefficient but also greatly contribute to the degradation of the environment. I say it's high time we stop letting the French tell us what to do! They think they’re so great with their fancy soft cheeses and socialized healthcare. Liberate your lawn! By converting even a small part of your lawn to a vegetable garden you’re saying, “I want my country back….literally! We can call them Freedom Fields! So get growing! And what lawn you do keep, remember, untreated grass clippings make a great natural mulch for your veggies. - Sarah B.
