Q. What’s the largest crop in America?
A. Grass.
No, no … not that kind. The suburban mow-it-on-Sunday kind – occupying 30 million acres.
Just imagine how much you could grow on all of that land – things that there was actually some point in growing, like food for example ….
Yes, you might say I’ve an allergy to grass, not the biological kind, but the sociological kind of allergy that comes from growing up in the suburbs.
And even with the millions of acres of land covered over with even worse stuff, you could do a lot with what has been dubbed “asphalt gardening”. I look out on the internal courtyard of my flats and think what a nice lot of mini-allotments the parking spaces would make – and this would probably be the way to do it…
