This Lawn is Your Lawn (pre-election version)

THIS is a great Idea, and should be done around the globe well done.

according to CNN, they planted their kitchen garden yesterday. doesn't that just piss you off NWMike? hahahaha..

You must be a pretty pathetic fucking loser to try and restart a debate from MONTHS ago. I don't even remember what I wrote. LOL. I just remember your ignorant, self-righteous, and arrogant socialist attitude. The fact of the matter is that the economy and environment would BOTH be WORSE OFF if we had 300 million Americans trying to grow their own food. I know it doesnt fit into your romantic hippie-bullshit paradigm, but its a logistical and scientific fact.

you're too easy NWMike. :)

you should remember it, because my "ignorant, self-righteous, and arrogant socialist" and "pseudo-intellectual" ass gave you a point for point beat down. hahhahah

anyway, i didn't really care, i just saw the article and it made me laugh remembering you and this video.

this time i don't even care to debate you, you're clearly an idiot.

The presidential mansion is more than a residence. It is also where the great decisions of the day are made, where dignitaries and leaders are feted, where sweeping legislation is signed into law, etc. It SHOULD be stately and reflect the dignity of the nation and the presidency. Rows and rows of vegetables and manure fertilizers do not fit the setting. I'm a NOFA certified organic lawncare expert, and, while I support the cause, the White House is not the place for an organic vegetable garden.

Would you care to elaborate exactly why you think a vegetable garden doesn't reflect the dignity of a nation? A vegetable garden can be as beautiful as any flower garden. There is no reason herbs, fruits and vegetables can't co-exist alongside the flowers in the Rose Garden. Vegetables don't have to be planted in a straight line. Manure fertilizers don't have to be used. I'm just not understanding why you think this would reflect badly on Americans or the president in general.

Sure. I was against plowing up the entire WH lawn to make a veg garden as the video suggests. I am not against a small garden in the rose garden . You'll notice that I said I support the cause such a garden would represent. Fortunately, it was just announced that the Obama's have today started a small (1100 sq ft) veg garden in the rose garden. I guess we can both be happy.

An excellent video and how timely! Even if you don't have a yard, you can plant tomatoes and other vegetables in large pots. Some Botanical Gardens or local communities have small plots where people can grow vegetables. Check it out or get one started.

Now I wish I had a lawn. 5/5 :D

Has anyone converted an in ground pool to veg garden?
