Oh yes, I'm an enviro, so I figured from scratch that I wouldn't use chemicals. I had more money on hand when I bought the home. Round Up is a carcinogenic, and there are children next door. Application costs money, and then it has to be re-applied every couple months. It didn't look as big a hillside when I moved in and the weeds and grasses here grow faster than I thought. I paid $19 for wildflower seed from Amazon and threw it to the wind to see if it germinated. It looks like some did, but now the purple flowers are gone, I don't know if they came from the seed packet. And if you spray, how does that not kill the wildflowers? I hoped to have energy and time for a pretty garden, but that didn't work. Just too many weeds to have to pull. This isn't a big climate for flower tending. Too dry. Now, I don't have the energy anymore.
I have a good fence so goats were a thought. They can be leashed, or movement restricted. But they poop, and that sounds as bad as weeds.
Anybody about Reno knows some responsible kids to earn money by digging out weeds and grasses, I've been paying $20/hour. I have tools, but they'd have to be fraud free. No claims as to injury, falsely engaged in. Disclaimer would be nice.
