battled with the Lawn Police today. heard a dispatch radio outside my house, thought i was being SWATted, walked out to find a strange man in my backyard who demanded my ID so he could write a ticket for my "foot high weeds." it's June. it's rained every day this week. it's Thursday. everybody on the street has seed heads, but he chose me.
he chose poorly. i called his boss. if he can't tell the difference between dereliction and a work in progress, he needs to be retrained.
@MrsBentoBako yep. that's what i'm doing. i also use panels from an old privacy fence to smother grass too. i go out once a season, move the panels to a new area and mulch the bare spot. then i throw some clover seed on it, and when that's done and the mulch is breaking down, i plant in the perennials i've propagated. slow process.
i get the mulch by the dumptruck load --free-- through chipdrop.
