My new home could easly suport grass lots of rain in S WI but what a waist of time and cash keeping such a beast one of the largest source of polution is lawn sourced.I use rain gardens a pond catchs rain over flow.Wild flower prarie, mulched areas, garden areas, walking trails that are mulched.Planting a orchard that will be mulched so I dont need to trim. I still get to greatly enjoy my yard I can eat and fish take a nice walk etc and I dont spend much time taking care of this maybe 2 hours a month max...Before with a 3rd of the land, took 2 hours a week to mow weed trim etc...Time is money, think of the gass saved, equipment costs, I just sold my honda mower..No pesticide- herbicide etc another cash savings and good for the earth.Screw the green lawn its killin us slow
