Not as informative as one could have wished. Says that four TYPES of plants are edible, but does not really get into the nuts and bolts of exactly how to go about it. For instance, wheat and oats are not what one normally considers your average "grass" in many places. As far as your average lawn is concerned, I would have liked to know how exactly one could consider that edible?

Especially since some people such as I for instance have a small irritation develop whenever I have to work on the lawn and therefore would not consider even trying to consume any part of it.

Lettuce and Tomatos are more what I prefer.

There was a thread about this yesterday and someone posted a link to a forager site. It talked about real grasses one might find in their own yard in Texas and the southwest.

Wild oats are just about everywhere I go, growing as weeds by the side of the road.

You probably won't be able to digest the grass in your front lawn, but if you let it go long enough something edible might turn up there. Check in a book first, though.
