We bought our house in 2019 and stopped mowing the #lawn, to the exasperation of our neighbors (ok, the first 2 yrs didn’t look so good 😂). But now we are reaping off rewards, our lawns rewilding and getting lots of flowers like forget-me-nots, wild strawberries, lady’s mantle, columbine, and even raspberry bushes. ❤️The ground holds water much better: while our neighbors’ grass is slowly yellowing due to a watering ban, ours is holding quite well. I highly recommend to re-wild your lawns!
Rode into battle this morning on my trusty mount Jan-michel. We cut down their numbers with every charge but I am not fooled, we have only purchased a week's delay in their onslaught from our brave actions here today.
Also, sorry to my neighbors for the shriek of terror, that garter snake took me completely by surprise.
Son offered to help with removing the grass from the tiles in our #lawn and we used the removed parts to create a frankenlawn for our #rabbits ;-) Best project ever.
Spring flowers at my neighbours garden in 2009 or 2010 when my godparents lived there. I always loved the contrasting colours and depth from shooting at such a low angle.
House of the French poet Jacques Prévert (1900-1977) in Normandy, France.
I was expecting the interiors to be preserved and styled in the way Prévert used to keep when alive. Unfortunately, the interiors are all replaced with tables and shelves with placards, souvenirs, and books for sale. It's more of a store than a trip to the past.
Clover requires less water and fertilizer than grass; plus, it's magical looking.
By Ilana Strauss, July 21, 2022
"Clover is becoming popular because it looks magical but doesn't require as much care as regular lawns. Since it doesn't need fertilizer or much water, it's also good for the planet. Plus, it's tough.
"You don't need to water microclover as much as grass, and don't even think about using an herbicide on it. You can add fertilizer if you want, but clover is pretty good at keeping itself fertilized since it naturally pulls nutritious nitrogen out of the air." #Gardening#GardeningForPollinators#NoMowMay
Suburbanites in the fall: expending time, energy and/or money removing dead leaves from their lawn (instead of simply mulching in place with a lawnmower).
Suburbanites in the springtime: expending time, energy and/or money to import and apply fertilizer to their lawn (instead of relying on the now-biodegraded mulchings from the fall).
"Turf Replacement- Removing grass is one of the most efficient ways for homeowners to reduce water usage and cost. The Turf Replacement program pays the homeowners to remove grass and replace it with drought-tolerant landscaping and offers a rebate of $2 per square foot up to 5,000 square feet of converted yard area annually while funds last. To participate, you must apply for rebate funds prior to starting your project. Once your rebate has been reserved, you will have 180 days to complete your project and submit your rebate request" #drought#SoCal#lawn#rebatehttps://socalwatersmart.com/en/residential/rebates/available-rebates/turf-replacement-program/
