Lawns are a bad idea in Australia, because they require too much watering, even with drought-resistant grasses. I have a paved yard, which just needs sweeping, and grow my plants in pots and planters of various sizes.

Given CA's continuing drought problems, I see more and more people switch to rock gardens, often with more climate-appropriate plants. Now if only we could we cut off the water supply to So-Cal, where we're sending far too much water to rich people who don't have the sense to know that you shouldn't build golf courses and swimming pools in the fucking desert.

I do know it's mostly agriculture in CA (that is, what contributes towards water usage). The whole situation is pretty dumb. Personal use only takes up a small amount, most of it is farms and lawn care. The soil and weather is great in southern CA to grow stuff, but seeing as they don't technically have their own water source, large scale anything down there makes no sense. Last I checked they were considering tousand mile long pipes to bring in water from across the country. Everyone stop moving to Cali! Here in New England we have plenty of water, just happens no one wants to live here...
