(38,206 posts)I don't have a lawn, per se. I have what I call a Jungle. It's all red clay, triffids, and other weeds and stuff. I do have some centipede grass, but that doesn't really need mowing. I do have some people clean out a small area around the house, but as far as the other 5/6s of the property, it's all Jungle out there and I love it that way. I get to look out the window and see all kinds of critters and stuff.
Plus, having the red clay and lots of bats and birds shitting all over the place makes my yard greener than all those lawns that belong to the people across the street who water their lawns daily and sit around with fingernail clippers trying to make sure no blade of grass touches the sidewalk. I don't need sprinklers. I have Nature's own watering system AND fertilizing system. The only drawback is I have to watch it when I get in the car to make sure they haven't nailed the door handle with their "fertilizer" before I get in. They rarely nail it though. They sure seem to be aiming for it, though, lol.
