Saying that I'm slowly getting rid of my front lawn and planting natives. I put all that water, fert and labour into it just so I can wash my cars on it so I don't feel so bad about wasting the water, strange psychology that  |
I dont water it. We are under water restrictions anyway. But it rains often enough. I just want to keep it under control. With working 5 to 6 day weeks, a bit here or there if its in check is way easier then finding the effort after a hard week to do the lot in 1 go when its getting out of hand. Also not letting garden equipment sit helps with reliability i have noticed.
