Also I've read somewhere that moss is better than mulch for mulchy purposes (around trees or gardens) because it's ~alive~ and doesn't need to be replaced, and holds moisture well. Mulch is gross anyway The Dregs posted:One of my neighbors asked my wife to not let our kids blow on dandelion because it spreads seeds. Why the gently caress do people hate dandelions?? They're pretty and edible and they're my son's bearded dragon's all time fave food. So now the kids get one (1) jelly bean every time they manage to locate and launch a ripe dandelion. yessssssssssss

gently caress dandelions. At least the kind that grow tall and are super full of milky sap. Those motherfuckers are aphid magnets. Haven't mowed my lawn since last year. Feels good. Starting to plant a few ferns. Gonna definitely look into clover.

Chia rock garden. Offer to host chia plus barbecue parties for any and every unlikely sculpture your neighbors provide. Quality of cooked meat served will depend on the sculpture's size and other prurient merits.

Idgi I love mowing and my 1.5 acre yard is badass, but yes I live next to an old retired guy that is just like this. He mows a minimum of 3 times a week but it's more like 5. He does a great job and it's great exercise for him don't get me wrong, but drat old man go fishing or something sometime instead for a chance.

My in laws use a vacuum and go around sucking up the seeding dandelions' seeds. Which of course is ridiculous. Every year our drainage ditches get a bright orange algae bloom from runoff lawn fertilizer. At least the lawns look good though.

Here in Arizona yards come in 4 forms. There is also a fifth form that is unique to the mountains up in northern Arizona. 1. "Traditional" yards. Some neighborhoods have HOAs that force you to maintain a yard with grass and lovely plants, because God forbid that anyone show any kind of free will and have a house that looks different from the 600+ other homes around it. Of course, since grass and most bushes and trees used in yards are not native to Arizona, and thus incapable of surviving our 350 days or the year where there will be no rain at all, your water bill will increase exponentially and the plants will likely die anyway. You will have to mow your lawn and trim bushes and trees year round, because there are no seasons here, only summer and slightly cooler summer. People die here every year while doing yard work in the summer due to heatstroke. 2. Gravel yards. A lot of people around here have realized that grass is loving bullshit and instead cover their yard in gravel. On small yards it can look just fine if you mix in large rocks and some native plants. Unfortunately people here tend to be white trash losers who cover their half acre properties with gravel, including their back yards, and have no plants. It looks terrible and manages to make this place somehow look even more desolate than it usually is. It is also a loving oval office when you are stupid and let weeds grow, because now the gravel blocks all of your weed removing tools. Gravel also makes your yard unusable for anything during the few months where you can survive outside. 3. Old, rural style yards. Arizona used to be populated mostly by ranchers and farmers who owned vast properties. Some of the oldest neighborhoods still stay true to the old rural style of small houses with very simple yards. They usually have large yards that are covered in some kind of grass that is really low maintenance. I don't know what kind of grass it is but it is way better than the poo poo you see in most lawns. These homes usually also have huge, beautiful trees that provide excellent shade and make the yard usable all year long, even in the middle of summer. Some of the oldest neighborhoods even have irrigation ditches. These areas are really nice and I envy them for being better than all of the lovely modern houses. 4. Natural landscape. In outer suburbs like Apache Junction you will see a lot of old houses on private streets. These houses are usually owned by ranchers who prefer the natural scenery of Arizona. The yards are usually uneven dirt and gravel landscapes covered by Arizona's native desert plants which include bushes and small trees that perpetually look like they are dead, as well as cacti. Cacti come in many forms, such as our famous Saguaro cactus, which can stand up to 20 feet tall and is a favorite habitat for many birds, including the occasional owl! There is also the drum cactus which grows into a simple ball shape with long needles that aren't actually as bad as they look since they are softer and less pokey than other cacti. And then you have the cholla cactus and its relatives. Cholla-type cacti all have one thing in common, which is that they will grow segments that will break off and roll onto the ground, where they will become a diabolical trap that will punish anything that comes near. If you see a cholla cactus, you have likely already stepped on one of those spikeballs, which will pierce your shoe and will lodge needles into your hands when you try to remove it. Anyway these yards are actually not all that bad since they look natural and require zero maintenance and does not harm the environment. 5.If you are lucky and live in northern Arizona, you can just leave your yard as it is because it will already have wild grass and pine trees. Houses in these areas are usually nice, built with brick or made to look like a cabin. Sadly there are still those undesirable shitheads who believe that the world is their playground and wipe out forest for the usual suburban abominations. These people deserve nothing but death. I hate them, and I want to kill them all. Sadly I have only one life and don't want to waste it fighting a battle that I cannot win, so I won't hurt anyone. Fuckers.

I can understand having a lawn so you can do fun recreational things on it but gently caress people who need a perfectly manicured single grass strain yard and gently caress HOAs. Also gently caress my landlord for deciding they should put loose gravel on the 30 degree slope between the front and back portions of my house so you pretty much have to carry the lawnmower up the stairs.

My neighbor really owned me with her lawn yesterday. The weather was really nice and I was taking a nap out back, so the old lady next door decided to get her POS chitty chitty bang bang of a lawnmower out and run over her backyard that is 90% rocks and sticks. It's only the second time I've ever known her to mow her lawn, so I'm pretty sure it was personal but I have no idea why.

This weekend is when I have picked to repair my propane torch, which is the finest lawn care tool yet invented. Sure, I could spend my time bent over pulling weeds along the walk, or I could just burn the fuckers down to the gravel. Same deal with the fence lines, oh no, looks like wild rose bushes are starting to take over, what ever shall I do? *unleashes 400,000 British Thermal Units of loving fury on those dumb rear end plants*
