    If the person who owns this land wants those young trees to grow and survive, then s/he should cut a circle of grass around each tree.Notice this is always done in parks. Grass puts out gases in the soil to impede the growth of trees. Nature is a power struggle.

    this is done in parks mostly so they don't have to weedwack around the trees. removing the grass may help, but if a tree gets killed by having a little grass around it, it probably wasn't going to survive anyway.

    That's kind of what I was thinking

    And as Undies lives in a small town, I'm just going to go ahead and assume he knows his trees ;)

    Avoiding damaging to the bark of a tree with brushcutter is another reason, but the conventional wisdom is if you want to grow a tree, don't have grass growing within the drip-line.

    Make sure you bump this thread every couple of hours with pics or memes. Because its a very important thread and everyone must see this. It should always be on top.

    i'd rather have a lawn then a parking lot, but i'd damd sure rather have a garden then a lawn. even a jungle or a forest.
    lawns are better then pavement certainly, but that's the only thing they are.
    well i think i'd rather have a lawn then a beach too.
    anything green looks better then any more pavement then just enough for a narrow walkway surrounded by green.
    lawns would be ok to replace streets with though, if cars could be replaced by some sort of transit on small form rails.

    gardens instead of lawns, surrounding non-rectangular shelter, and no rectangular grids of streets either.
    i think this is a step in the right direction when its a step away from worshiping cars, but its really kind of a very small step,
    not to mention so much work. why not let nature grow what it will and just keep it neatly and aesthetically trimmed?

    and or grow easily maintained micro-floral perennials and vegetables. gardens gardens gardens, and with trains.
    but i don't want to discourage what anyone else finds pleasing.

    so lawns are fine, but imaginative and creative gardens are to me so much better.

    i like the little garden tractors too. they would make fine 7.5 to 12" gauge locomotives, or experimental robotic platforms.
