If you put glass shards on your lawn you get the xeroscape look along with a protective barrier against bandits/thieves

the small rear end house I rent has a yard, I realized that I don't actually have to mow it I can just use the electric weed wacker that's in the garage to cut poo poo down every 2-3 weeks

the only lawn care i do is mowing it every two weeks, apparently higher grass is better able to resist drought and heat (we are in a drought in my area and just went through four or five days of 100+ temperatures) because my lawn is doing way better than some of my neighbors who keep their grass cut super short lol. id like to xeriscape but it seems expensive? i guess the cheap version is just letting whatever old plant grow out there, i sure as poo poo am not gonna water, weed, or fertilize. we got some nice clover and flowers that come up.

gently caress lawns my backyard looks like this after 2 years of not giving a gently caress  summer one was dominated by a crazy insane-o crop of jimsonweed, a zillion lil white trumpets and then crazy spikepods summer two was hosed up by having to re-drill a well and poison half of it, got some tall grasses out back, went to town with some local wildflower seed blends this year we've got at least 10 different wildflowers, a healthy mix of sedges, etc etc it owns. we also have fireflies, thousands of them. beetles, craneflies, thin waisted wasps, wolf spiders, four or five species of jumping spiders, crickets, katydids, robberflies, dobsonflies, ten types of ants, european hornets, carpenter and bumblebees, a gorillion different skippers/moths/butterflies

The grass on my lawn is dying and going to poo poo in a lot of spots because A. The previous owners of this house didn't take care of it and rarely cleaned up after their dogs properly (wtf) B. The loving drought I just want the front of my house to look normal with normal rear end grass

my condo/townhome HOA is starting to transition all our kentucky bluegrass to fine fescue. It will only need to be watered and mowed pretty infrequently, which will save us a lot of money - with drought becoming more common, turf grass has become more untenable. We are also leaving large parts of our grass unmowed for several months at a time, especially the parts that aren't very visible from the street. We will also be switching to native plantings - whatever dumbass designed the landscaping must have thought we would have an army of professional gardens, because it's full of non-native plantings that are a pain in the rear end to deal with. We also have those amur maples that spread everywhere.Gunshow Poophole posted:gently caress lawns I'm guessing you aren't in a city that has mowing regulations? i.e. the grass can't exceed X inches in height

lol xeriscaping doesn't mean you have a rocky yard The idea is that you just grow things that don't need water from you, meaning whatever's native to your climate or at least happy enough to live in it. You see the rocky lawn poo poo because people decided to build houses in places that are dry as gently caress. You can "xeriscape" without gravel or mulch and you can even have turf-like ground cover assuming you don't live in a shithole where you need to irrigate your lawn to keep it from dying.

my meadow has several milkweed plants and we got da early monarchs coming through this week, at least five or six that I’ve seen just lmoa if you are legally enjoined against doing whatever the gently caress you want with the biosphere of property that you own. pathetic. think harder. plant a low ground cover if you have height regulations

I'm in the process of digging a giant trench in my back yard to install some drainage so I can turn my entire front yard into a massive rain garden Otherwise the back yard is well on its way to becoming fully gardenized victory against my lawn is at hand

Breakfast All Day posted:i had a rock yard for awhile as a kid and it owned. all my legos were mars astronauts. sometimes the big boulders were spaceships, sometimes mountains i explored. sorry about your ruminating kids or whatever When you're a kid you can make fun out of everything. I used to fly lego space ships along the wall of the driveway like it was the Death Star trench. At some point, my dad pulled up a stump and let it just hang out there in the yard for, what seemed like a long time when I was 10. The roots of that stump was everything from a giant space monster to an alien planet, to a jungle, whatever I felt like it was that day. If anything grass tends to be the least fun thing to play on as a kid, because it's so boring.

I grew up in Californias south central valley where it gets ~10 inches of rain a year and most of my life we had a large, manicured lawn on an acre. When the drought got bad our well went dry and thankfully our neighbor let us use his well for the few months it took to get another drilled. They prioritized the fruit trees and let the lawn die. This experience shocked my parents enough that when they moved and built their next house they made sure they were on city water and didn't bother with a lawn at all. Theyve got a nice hillside with a bunch of drought tolerant trees and shrubs, tons of free mulch, and a rain catchment system with an underground tank to get the most of the winter rains. They had code enforcement come thinking they were installing septic within city limits and my dad had to show the guy how its all routed
