Organic lawn care

A lawn  is a very nice part of American home landscaping. A nice place for kids and pets to play. And it is also the place where we waste a lot of water and put a lot of chemicals to keep them nice. In my opinion a vegetable garden or native plants would be better, but as not everyone has the time to maintain a garden at least consider having an organic lawn.
