JoeIf it is hot and sunny you do not need to mow your grass, and then later use sprinklers to water the cut grass. This is dumb and bad on many levels.
Chad@threetonesun something I truly love about Portland is that a large number of people who have lawns let them brown in the summer. Even better, a lot of folks have torn out their grass and planted natives. That was one of the first things we did after buying our house and it’s the best.
@threetonesun our parking strip has transformed from a bland plot of grass and weeds to a lush land of happy plants that don’t need water in the hottest months.
@chad we put wildflowers in that area at our last house. I drove by it the other day and the new owners replaced it with… splotchy brown grass 😭
Very close to my goal of replacing all the grass in our yard with clover at the current place though!
@threetonesun I truly don’t understand the idea of lawns, especially those made up of non-native plants. Such a waste of time and money. Hell yes to clover!
