Awesome contest and great way to push the no-lawn movement. Mine was taken out last year. I'd actually only kept a little bit to move the chickens around on but the hens (plus two female dogs) equal ruined grass. So I dug it all up and put in raised vegetable beds and now it's my main harvest area.
Why put SO much time and effort into grass?! We need food and flowers!
It's the truth. Lawns are silly.
At my sister's house, they won't even let her put a garden where her lawn is.
Oops. I guess she picked the wrong neighborhood.
Glad to hear about your garden and animals moving along nice where grass used to be.
Wow. That is insane about your sister. There are some really stupid zoning laws.
It was the same at my parents new place actually. Their front garden was zoned as grass and had to be maintained now higher than 'X'. My mum talked to the neighbours though and she's now gradually planting apple trees into it.
