I've got electric everything for lawn care (with commonality with batteries) which should last until I cover every inch with berry bushes and trees and garden space. Grass lawns are bullshit.

My back yard is a desolate wasteland thanks to my female dog, but my front lawn has to remain at least respectable thanks to the wonderful thing that is a HOA.

Our front yard is desolate because it's completely covered by a huge pecan tree but the backyard grows grass which we keep maintained. There's stickers in it which we can't do much about because all the backyards are connected.

There's grass in there, I've been told... That's most of mine too. I think clover used to be in grass seed mixed until Big Lawn started pushing herbicides that killed clover, and they redefined clover as a weed so they didn't have to figure out how to avoid killing it.

Like I said our yard is full of buttercups now, when I was a kid I remember it being full of clover and dandelions, but I don't think that's true now. Not sure what changed.

Clover yards kick rear end. They fertilize themselves, don't need mowing, and are really drought-tolerant. People freak out about them attracting bees (pollination, the horror!), but that is dumb and bees are good.

I have 3 hibiscus bushes in front of my house that look awesome and flowery for several portions of the year (until the lawn guy hacks them to waist height instead of actually pruning them). When they're in bloom, they attract sweat bees. Sometimes I get weed-type flowers in my yard that attract other kinds of bees. Doesn't bother me, kids get scared sometimes but I've only ever been stung by wasps or hornets  I love having bees around. Pollinates and makes things prettier

Bees rule. I've been stung by a honeybee only once, and it was my fault, I was five years old and I was running around the yard barefoot and stepped on one. Completely understandable that it would sting me in that situation, and I learned to never walk barefoot outside again. I've also had bumblebees land on me, look around a bit, and fly off without stinging at all. Wasps and yellow jackets though, they are motherfuckers.

I stepped on a yellowjacket nest in the forest when I was a teenager. I took off sprinting as soon as I heard the buzz, and those fuckers chased me all the way back to my house...at least 500 yards, stinging me the entire way. 28 stings, in all. It was like 27 years ago and hearing a wasp/yellowjacket buzz still fucks me up. gently caress those assholes.

Wasps are also pollinators and just need a good PR firm.

Couldn't you easily substitute the word "rob" or "murder" for "defend"? Also, we defend our courts with guns by not letting any in, searching people and setting up metal detectors. Same with sporting events.

quote:I am watching on news about Gay Pride parades. That's fine. But kids are seeing rainbows and ballloons and fun without knowing what it means. So they maybe excitied about being a rainbow kid without knowing what that means. Therefore there needs to be hereosexual parade so kids can see happy man woman relationships too. In this day and age with so much chaos and divorce and other bad stuff kids need to see loving relationships of all kinds including man woman reltionships. They need to see happy families, happy mother's and fathers and babies too. need to make man woman relationships fun again too.

We need to bring back positive man woman relationships. The marriage between two hideous amalgamation of men and women with one arm and leg dainty and feminine and the other hairy and buff, only one breast, and genitalia that warps and shifts in a horrifying storm of flesh and bone is beautiful and must be supported for the soul of the nation.
