The second part of this two-part discussion is about killing your lawn, monocultures, saving the bees, and rescuing our shorelines!
Welcome back to Part 2 of Kill Your Lawn with Danny Molinaro. If you didn't get a chance to listen to Part 1 last week, I recommend you go back and get caught up on this really interesting and important discussion about the impact that lawns are having on the natural world in North America. We also tiptoe our way into the aquatic equivalent of the lawn that is executed around the country in coastal landscapes, particularly coastal towns and cities, that is having the same negative impacts, but has established solutions.
Danny talks about plant pallets to improve the quality of your lawn, some of his favorites, and some that he would love to see a lot more of. We also tiptoe in the wetlands and talk about rip rap, lawn equivalent management strategies, and the impact of having removed and degraded coastal environments.
Grab a drink for this riveting discussion about why we need to kill our lawns (and their equivalents) and continue moving in the direction of enhanced and vibrant ecosystems that will support both us, wildlife, and earth systems.
