I’ve basically been letting the grass in my back yard grow all spring. Cut some paths through so my small dogs could easily navigate and small patch for my senior dog.
Then I saw the foxtails I thought I had killed were back. I started cutting the grass so I could get better access to the foxtails and my allergies went crazy. Instant runny nose, eyes burning, etc.
This has really dampened my enthusiasm. (/rant
Yeah this topic was actually something we added to the Reddit wiki. Unfortunately grass just holds up well up traffic so I feel like most yards that have kids and pets will have at least some grass and I think that’s fine. It’s funny because it’s called no lawns but it’s more like, less lawn more natives. But that was a discovery we made song the way.
Yeah as with everything the idea more nuanced then it’s slogan, “NoLawns!”. I appreciate the NoLawns sentiment and simplicity of the slogan (for lack of a better word). I can see that maybe “Less Lawns, More Native Plants” isn’t quite as catchy. :P
Haha yeah definitely less catchy
