The Hacker News post discusses the Japanese Miyawaki method of creating fast-growing, biodiverse native forests, now being implemented in Mexico. One commenter highlights a 1973 Mexican law requiring factories to dedicate 20% of their space to green areas. Another commenter, WalterBright, shares a personal anecdote about using "grasscrete" in his yard to create temporary parking that supports vegetation and water absorption, expressing surprise it's not more common. password4321 summarizes the Miyawaki method from the article, emphasizing its rapid growth due to competition and minimal maintenance after three years, referencing a dense planting style with mature root systems that simulates natural phytosociological relationships. A Wikipedia link to Akira Miyawaki's method is also provided.
This sounds like such a fine idea.
In my yard, I wanted to expand the parking space with some temporary parking, but didn't want ugly paving. With the generally wet weather, that meant mud and ruts. A contractor I talked to suggested "grasscrete".

Mine is just using cinderblocks laid on their side. The vegetation grows up through the holes in the grasscrete, while the cinderblocks support the weight of the car without disrupting the vegetation. The holes let the water sink in instead of running off.
Over time, it has been colonized by native vegetation, and you can't even see the grasscrete. I've been very pleased with the results, and wonder why its use isn't common. It's rarely used for parking, which lets the vegetation recover.
