Yes, but those things bring more value than simple green grass. I can eat the chickens and their eggs. I can eat veggies from the garden. I can’t eat St Augustine grass because I’m not a goat.
I would never!
If I simply stop, I won’t be able to find my house. There has to be a better plan. Native plants are probably the answer.

People I know in Manhattan are still paying their cleaners even though there’s no more cleaning. These are fewer and fewer as folks permanently decamp from the city.
Your comment echoes my experience... in New York City. I’m white too, and I’d gotten pulled over more times in NYC than anywhere else. There’s always something: you drove over the yellow line for a second; your hands…
I’m an immigrant, and I’ll never stand for any kind of reparations for descendants of former slaves. Invariably this will come out of tax dollars to which I’m contributing by way of income tax. Why should I be charged…

“Free market” isn’t “free everything”. In a free market the bid-ask spread is king. It’s just another kind of tyranny, which, like all such things, benefits those who are set up to take advantage of it, and leaves most…
This reminds me of a famously obtuse and obdurate boss who asked for things that were utterly impossible. He had delusions of grandeur which left him convinced that he and only he was qualified to challenge the “cheap,…
For this reason I’ve been dockerizing my builds for almost five years. I was late to the Docker party, but when I saw the benefits it brings to build pipelines, I was sold. It's true that a dockerized build isn’t any…
Gold is a poor asset no matter how you turn it. Most people don’t hold physical gold when they trade in it. If the current financial system were to fail, do you really believe that people will begin taking delivery of…
