• The Ostrich Report On: Lawns

  Posted at 1:00 pm by ostrichreport, on March 13, 2019

  

  A luscious, green lawn is more than just a plant-carpet in front of your house. It’s basically the very essence of America and all that it stands for. Sadly, it turns out that lawns are also wasteful, dangerous, and they bring out the crazy in people which… OK, granted, are also the very essences of America.
