Joey and Al take a boat ride down Chicago's Wild Mile. Believe it or not, this river used to be really dirty—like, filthy—but successful restoration has reintroduced native flora and fauna.
About Kill Your Lawn:
Best friends Joey and Al set out across America to accomplish their mission: carry out a turficidal killing spree and leave a trail of pollinator-friendly, native plant gardens in their wake. It’s time to laugh our way to a lawn-less future!
This clip comes from Season 2, Episode 7: "We Gotta Guy"

00:00Since we're sticking the native hibiscus, hibiscus machudos, in a yard at Tim and Lisa's,
00:06I figured it'd only be relevant to check out a spot on the Chicago River where I know
00:10a ton of it has been reintroduced.
00:12I mean, this was a really dirty f***ing body of water and now it's like, it's so peaceful,
00:22it's so nice.
00:23Yeah.
00:24Two miles from downtown.
00:25Yeah.
00:26More and more nature has been able to take hold.
00:28The whole point is that you're in a different world.
00:30It sounds different down here, it feels different.
00:33That's exactly what this wildlife is looking for too.
00:35They were looking for a space that was away from people.
00:38It's amazing.
00:39So these walkways are kind of weaving between these floating garden beds and those are like
00:44a modular structure and they're basically just kind of like, almost like just like baskets
00:49that kind of hold biomass that then these plants all grow out of.
00:52Is that more or less right?
00:53Yeah.
00:54So the way these things work, they have, you know, the floating garden sections, the roots
00:59grow through and they hang below and they create habitat for fish and microbes and other
01:03things.
01:04Then we use all native plants that grow up.
01:06They create habitat for pollinators, mammals, other things like that, and really build back
01:13something that wasn't there before.
01:15They try to create this habitat in stretches that there were not.
01:19And I'm stoked to see how much seeds the hibiscus alone has produced.
01:23So I'm going to grab some of these hibiscus seeds, put them in a bag and go to Tim and
01:27Lisa's, which is just seven miles north of here.
