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!
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.
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
