Except that there are plants that actually provide a benefit to wildlife, which lettuce and certainly grass don't. [b]And that grass, in order to look good, requires the use of chemicals that end up in the watersheds[/b], while gardens can reduce runoff and don't require those chemicals. Just saying, otherwise I agree with you that OP should just do what makes her enjoy and not dread her outdoor space.[/quote]

No it doesn't, unless you define "looking good" as "golf course perfection". But if you do, then you probably spray all of the other plants in your yard, too. [/quote]

PP here, I agree with you on the lawn and have a very polycultural lawn myself that I think looks fine. I don't think the that is the majority opinion though, and I don't think that using lawn chemicals usually means spraying everything else, unless they are growing roses or other disease prone plants. Most shrubs and perennials don't need spraying at all.[/quote]
