I don’t get large lawns whatsoever. A little bit of space to run around or toss a football, or maybe lawn parties, but most people who have grass could do themselves and the environment a favor by replacing it with a wildflower meadow. There are several methods for doing this, some more labor intensive than others. It seems sheet mulching is the best way. Here’s how to do it in the link below:
Replace Your High-Maintenance Lawn with Easy-Care Wildflowers
Part of the reason we parted ways with our 1-acre large property was the mowing was just too daunting. We had a deep root system grass that would have been difficult to kill and replace with a meadow, or so we thought. That was our vision when we first laid eyes on our sloping lot: a field of wildflowers. So beautiful and maintenance free!
