I've been considering a local wildflower mix to take over a section of mine- good for the bugs, less stupid expanse for me to mow.
I'm going with wild clover and flowers I think, clover loves it here and is all over the place anyway. Never gotta mow it.
I just gotta get off my ass and find the time...
We have white clover and if unchecked it grows above your shoes and leaves walking paths.
I still prefer it to grass but I do mow it occasionally. It bounces back quickly and seems happy.
It’s very fluffy in the summer which is a great vibe for the lawn.
I highly reccomend using native species. They are better for pollinators
That's all I'm using :)
