@jeffSolb Poplars and evergreens aren’t even a species. Poplar is a large genus and evergreen is a large classification of different plants. If the “evergreen” you’re referring to was a redwood people would also be up in arms if you cut one down without permission.
@SBJ_Personal @peachtreeglenn @KennyShaw98 @macaroniinfant @_eeyah tell anyone maintaining a vegetable garden how they feel about moles and get back to me
@SBJ_Personal @peachtreeglenn @KennyShaw98 @macaroniinfant @_eeyah I will continue to work toward food sovereignty while also appreciating the benefits turfgrass can provide
@SBJ_Personal @peachtreeglenn @KennyShaw98 @macaroniinfant @_eeyah I digress. Urban dwellers who have no yard and have never worked a day in their life in a garden will continue the propaganda against the evils of grass without any experience or legitimate research or to back up their claims.
@SBJ_Personal @peachtreeglenn @KennyShaw98 @macaroniinfant @_eeyah I don’t know what lifeless golf course you have seen but the golf course I worked on was more welcoming to animals than the small biodiverse organic farm I worked on
@peachtreeglenn @KennyShaw98 @macaroniinfant @_eeyah “does nothing but look green”
-grasslands are a more reliable carbon sink than forests
-grass provides habitat for ruminants,birds,insects etc
-grass is essential for storm water management, water runoff
-grass doesn’t need daily/weekly maintenance like food
@peachtreeglenn @KennyShaw98 @macaroniinfant @_eeyah Turn that weedy lot in your neighborhood into a garden. We don’t need to get rid of golf courses that provide necessary eco system services, carbon sinks and jobs.
@peachtreeglenn @KennyShaw98 @macaroniinfant @_eeyah Are any of you actually involved in community gardens? because I am but the reason they’re not more ubiquitous is because most people are busy and don’t like doing hard work outside.
@richfacemcgee @KennyShaw98 @_eeyah @MorganOWO There are many examples of endangered and threatened species creating habitat on golf courses. Golf courses can over-consume water/pesticides/herbicides and also provide necessary habitat in a quickly urbanizing environment. Both things can be true.
