No Lawns

Especially ironic when suburbanites rave about how houses are infinitely better than apartments because they're "closer to nature." You want to be closer to nature? Let natural processes work and have a lawn of whatever grows in your area naturally (even an "invasive" species is better than lawn grasses, unironically, and lawn grasses are almost always also non-native species, just ones that can't actually survive in the environment.) Don't water, don't mow, don't fertilize, just let nature do its thing. It will also attract more pollinators, birds, wildlife in general and instead of a lawn, soon you'll have a natural meadow in your yard. That's nature, a lawn that needs excessive water, chemical fertilizers, and poison just to maintain isn't.

We decided the official NoLawns will be in slrpnk.net I'm busy at work so it's not all set up yet.

I know this is another link back to someone else's Reddit post but I figure no one will join if we don't have content so here's a beautiful no lawn!

Please see this post about lemmy instances.

These E. wildpretii are around 8' tall and growing. This front yard was a (very poorly maintained) lawn when we bought the house - planting mostly northern CA natives and Mediterranean

Due to the big Reddit issue of 2023 r/nolawns has opened another location here on Lemmy! Here is a quick link back to the r/NoLawns thread about Reddit effectively restricting 3rd party apps.
