Oh, now you assume everyone lives in your climate. That is a
great
"north of seattle, WA" plan. Not for me.


Since you are living in a very arid place you might do better
with native plants.


Not if one wants a lawn (as I do). The children need a place to play
and the chickens like to eat the grass and bugs. The cow pasture also
needs plenty of water to keep the grass green and bovines happy.
