Grass is so terrible.

You need to maintain it and it requires so much chemicals especially from Monsanto. It's so much work and money just to maintain grass.

I like alternatives like moss or clovers. Even cactus gardens seem better suited.

I am not talking about your lawn, but fields of wild grass.

Oh wow I feel like an idiot.

Thanks for the clarification, I some how thought grass was man made or domesticated/engineer like cows.

It is domesticated - wild forms of grass are very different from lawn grass - they are more similar to the grains that we also domesticated from the grass family. Some of it is even closer to ferns in appearance (eg, wild dogstail)
