It's ironic (in a non-ironic Alanis Morissette kind of way) that when I didn't need a lawn, I had a great lawn. But now that I have kids I get grubs and moles and big-ass picker weeds that grow 3 feet tall.
I once considered covering the entire property with astroturf. What an incredible expense, but in the long run I think it would pay off. Coincidentally, this was also the time I was considering shaving my head and wearing wigs, and pulling out my teeth and getting dentures. I was going through a real "pro-artificial" phase in my life.
I could potty train the sheep to only poop in one corner and then have a whole pile of fertilizer to work with. Which would go back into the grass, or into the garden to help grow tomatoes and cucumbers.
I know that goats make feta, but is there a special lamb cheese? I'm trying to work things towards the ultimate goal of ending up with a gyro-and-greek-salad biosphere. Whilst wearing wool socks.
The best part of biodome living? The grubs and moles wouldn't be allowed. Well that, and the fact that I could walk around telling Carol, "Hey, those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones," and it would actually be kind of double entendre-ish.

I wanna see those potty trained sheep. Just a word to the wise ... your kids will start crappin' on the lawn if they see the sheep doing it. I speak from experience. We don't have sheep in our yard, but we have ducks and dogs. One must definately choose one's steps carefully here.
I know, I know... I should work on potty training the kids before I take on potty training sheep. For some reason, the sheep just seem like they'll be easier.
In Tennessee this isn't as outlandish of a concept as you might imagine. I do know someone that had a goat for yard maintenance and then promptly got rid of it when they realized how unbelievably annoying they are.
Now I don't know about Sheep, but my guess would be that they probably make just as much noise and are just as hard to potty train (do they make pull-up with a tail cut out?). And I'm a fan of goat cheese and feta... but something about the term "lamb cheese" makes me throw up a little.
Haha, yeah, there's some things in the world that we're not intended to eat the cheese of.
Like cats.
