Description

Long ago, wealthy landowners had lawns to prove that they were so well-off, they didn't have to devote all of their real estate to growing food. That translated into the lawn obsession of the middle class, who subconsciously are probably trying to prove the same point. This book advocates turning those lawns into food gardens again, this time as a deeply subversive act of guerilla gardening against the powers that be.
According to the "end of oil" books, we may be doing it out of necessity soon.
This book has a very positive tone, and encourages community activities such as seed sharing, with the emphasis on sharing.

A new take on domestic living. Certainly worth considering, and defnintely worth a good laugh. If only all Guerilla tactics were so (environmentally) friendly.
