There is a conceit among males, when asked about their lawns, to say “It doesn’t need to be Augusta National (or if they are British, Lord’s Cricket Ground or Wembley), I just want it to look nice.” This is a lie. A defensive posture to hide the fact that they do indeed want their greensward to resemble perfection, but that they know they will fail in the attempt. You’ve probably seen these men: cutting their grass every 4.7 days, shooing children off their property, following dogs with watering cans, and flipping through clipboards looking skywards.
I like the idea of clover instead of lawn - food for the bees, no weed/feed (pesticides? herbicides? surprised.)
We have 7 acres and most of it is as you describe. This is a very small landscaped portion of the property.
Do toads like weed and feed?
To be fair, I can’t take credit for this idea - it was the toad’s suggestion
I have a few toads (they love hanging out in the myrtle), so I was genuinely wondering on their behalf. If your toad says it's ok....
I dunno, Chris, . . . Meadows are nice.
Oh I agree! That’s we are allowing about four acres of pasture to convert to native grasslands.
