    Damn, like 30% of it is green desert. Not a botanical garden or water retention or pollinator garden with a path through it or even just rotating livestock forage, but the most boring and unproductive thing they can imagine. I visited the 1/2 acre~ home of a horticulturist recently and he had an entire forest growing between three ecosystems, at least a hundred species of plants. When I can finally afford a homestead similar to this, I could squeeze like 4x the metabolism out of this space.
