Off topic but after replacing our lawn with gardens and rocks we鈥檝e had three neighbours say they want to do the same abx they hate mowing it!
Awesome! Sometimes all neighbors need is to see it in action, to not be the first on the block. Like it gives people permission in a way 馃槉
I鈥檝e quit the supposedly eco friendly pesticides on my lawn for a year, just weeding it out by hand, in preparation of seeding it with clover. Then, with spring, I seeded it. I thought it would be a slam dunk, since they grow wild everywhere around here. Not a single sprout. I guess the poison stays longer than I anticipated.
I鈥檝e started replacing parts of the lawn with a garden, using river rocks in the space between bushes and trees. It looks great, I鈥檝e got lots of polinizers, less lawn to mow, and some fruits and herbs to eat.
