I am still in the process of getting rid of "lawn".
The green, green "lawn" is an artifact of the 50s when the chemical and machinery companies
promoted the chemical lawns. These chemical "lawns" are not environmentally sound.
There are new "no mow" mixes, which offer more biodiversity in one's yard.
I am going to experiment with these after I get rid of the "lawn".
BIODIVERSITY is Nature's Plan---let's get back to her plan in our yards.
