would be interested in that doc.
i wonder if lawn usage is a totally normal thing for US immigrants to ponder, it must be strange to see for those coming from places where homes are more densely built 🤔
It was in this one, The Power of Nightmares. Seriously one of the better series. I do not believe Curtis's documentaries ever air in the U.S. but they should. I appreciate his perspective.
The guy I was thinking of was Sayyid Qutb and I believe he is discussed in the first episode " Baby It’s Cold Outside". You can send me some sats after you watch his stuff ;)

i guess it depends on what types of plants are in a garden, but i’d imagine the time commitment to maintain a garden would be roughly the same as a lawn, no?
still necessary to do all the watering and weeding, and while gardens don’t need regular cuts, they do need to be harvested.
