About Lawns

I never understood why people paid for water to use on their lawns, but then I live where it rains every once in a while. My lawn never gets watered, and certainly never gets fertilizer or herbicides. It's a mixture of grass, clover, violets, moss, and other stuff. I've been gradually expanding the flower beds, and half the back yard is a vegetable garden. Re-gardening is slow going because I live on a river bank, and there are lots of huge rocks under the lawn for erosion control. I'm trying to shrink the mowing area. I need to get a truckload of gravel because I'm tired of mowing the driveway. Give me twenty years, and my garden will be perfect. (via Digg)
