About this listen

Your lawn is a lie.
It drinks too much, feeds no one, and demands constant maintenance—while giving nothing back.

In Lawn and Disorder: Manifesto for the Lawnless Generation, author and unapologetic dirt-stirrer Kevin L. Whitworth takes a flamethrower to the idea that a pristine patch of grass equals success. With wit, facts, and a trowel full of rebellion, he reveals how America became obsessed with the lawn—and why it’s time we dig something better.

Inside this manifesto, you'll discover:

  • Why grass is the largest irrigated crop in the U.S.—yet has zero nutritional value
  • How HOAs, city codes, and outdated zoning laws keep your yard locked in turf tyranny
  • The shocking history of the lawn, from French aristocrats to 1950s conformity
  • Real-world examples of communities turning yards into food forests
  • Actionable ways to reclaim your soil—raised beds, container gardens, wildflower patches, and native landscaping

Whether you’re a gardener, a rebel, or just tired of mowing for no reason, this book will change how you see your front yard—and maybe your future.

Stop watering your regrets. Start growing your freedom.
Welcome to the lawnless generation.
