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.

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.

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.

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.

Individual yards are such a wasteful and environmentally destructive concept

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?

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

See? You're a part of the problem.
