Reading all the comments and everyone is like not my yard , its full of flowers but for some reason I don’t see any bees or butterfly 🤷‍♂️

That’s because it’s not the only reason. Another big one is pesticides.

I only mow at the last possible second to not get a fine, has been working really well for my yard. I have seen flowers, corn, and a beautiful assortment of creepers and clovers start taking over the sterile grass. My neighbors neighbor seems to get butthurt. They take care of my direct neighbors yard whom I share a chain link fence with, she loves my vines with the flowers and strange gourds that wind around the fence. Neither of us planted it but the people who tend her yard destroy it 😭if we just let everything happen naturally some very cool things start to crop up. I’ve seen some absolutely massive grasshoppers and a bunch of praying mantis as well. My bee hotel never attracts anything but I’ve seen plenty of bees about which makes me happy.

if I didn’t take care of my lawn, I’d have invasive Bermuda grass getting into everything and it would kill all the other plants. I’ve also looked into overseeding with mini clover but I’ve read that it doesn’t tolerate traffic well. open to any suggestions as I’m fighting a losing battle with fescue and the damn Bermuda.

Knoxvomica ,

Fescue is amazing grass. I suggest overseeing with an aggressive ryegrass if you really have issues, but just let the Bermuda grass be. Otherwise add in some microclover seed for good measure.

But I thought grass is bad

IMALlama ,

Monoculture anything is bad. For example, many parks will have tons of trees but if you pay attention you’ll likely on see the same handful of species.

A few options. Cover the entire lawn for an extended period of time with a bunch of tarps or cardboard so no sunlight reaches the grass. Kill the entire thing. Start over with native seeds. Or roto till the entire thing

For me personally Bermuda grass never stood a chance against all the clover, dandelions, cheeseweed, purslane, tall flatsedge, and broadleaf plantain that make up a lot of what used to be the lawn. Some of those are invasive technically but at least rabbits come to eat the dandelions and plantains

Mine is an acre of natural meadow.

Individual yards are such a wasteful and environmentally destructive concept

Few symptoms of old fashioned boomer-standard death cult mentality are as insidious and understated as the obsession with inch-high fuzzy green obedience rectangles and their hatred of viable ecosystems.

It looked like that for exactly one summer. Not it’s mixed again. And the lower half of the property is literal wilderness anyway. A mother deer with two fawns likes it a lot. The other plots are also completely mixed, and so large that we just have sheep on there to avoid mowing. Bonus: They’re tame, fluffy, cuddly and warm.

I realize I am not most people but I have 1.5 acres I mow, 3 that are farmed and 4 that are left wild.

Is this the Windows 98 background?

Windows XP was the grassy hill. Windows 98 was just a random shot of some clouds.

jaybone ,

Lol it’s been so long I can’t remember.

What was the Windows 95 background?

Was it that flying pixelated window with the pixelated acid trails?

i dont have a yard

oldfart ,

See? You’re a part of the problem.

ma11en ,

I’m doing my bit for the bees and butterflies, my grass is at least a foot tall.

Masimatutu OP , (edited )

I think you mean it is at least two lemmings tall ;)

Edit: Unless, of course, you are talking about penguin feet. See what I mean? You’re being ambiguous.

I had to kill 6 stingy bees today because they invaded my home. Nobody asked them to make a nest here.

Edit: killed another one
