What's wrong with some greenery to frolick around in?
It’s fine but you can’t really play sports or have a picnic or a barbecue or set up a slip n slide or many other fun activities that lawns are good for!
Also a dense jungle of food-bearing plants like tomatoes is highly susceptible to disease. Tomatoes need a lot of airflow to keep their leaves dry so they don’t develop powdery mildew.
if you're subsistence farming you won't have time for slip n slides
Maybe if you’re using 18th century farming technology. In the modern day we have things like drip irrigation and tractors. Even a 1940s tractor is more than enough for a 1 acre plot.
that increases your operating costs enormously though.
Not really. Drip irrigation is pretty cheap. As are old tractors.
The expensive part is buying an acre of land.
