Yeah, weirdly, here in the Canadian “frozen tundra” West of Alberta, there’s about 2-3 months where my grass goes into overdrive and I have to mow it once a week.
Seriously considering landscaping to not need to do this. Wife and I have thought to turn the whole front and back yard into other greenery.
- ericd 5y agoOther do better at hosting butterfly caterpillars, bees, etc, which helps feed birds and other wildlife, so I think that’s a great idea that everyone should consider.
- softfalcon 5y agoAgreed, I want my yard to contribute to the ecosystem instead of contributing to my “status” in suburbia.
- ericd 5y agoNice! We're looking at doing that too. This is a cool site for figuring out what to plant: https://www.nwf.org/NativePlantFinder/Plants https://www.nwf.org/NativePlantFinder/Plants - ranked by number of butterfly species they can host.
- softfalcon 5y agoVery cool! I’ll have to finagle it a bit since it only takes zip codes, but this is super helpful!
