Comment on It's 54 degrees Fahrenheit (12 Celsius), raining moderately hard, the rain is cold, and there's a guy blowing around wet leaves with a leaf blower. What the hell is the obsession with leaf blowers?

  if I ever live somewhere with a garden, I’m ripping out the grass and planting a dandelawn.

      I’ve got quite a lot of moss in my backyard. The only downside is less traction. My backyard isn’t super hilly, but it’s no where near flat.

    I tried making my front lawn all wild flowers. The town had other ideas and sent me a warning to mow my lawn even though at that point my lawn was solid flowers. It is now a mix of dried out grass, sandy bare spots, and cigarette butts from the sidewalk traffic going to the Casino across the street. I tried watering my lawn the first year here and my water bill was nuts.

  For a while I had retired neighbors on two sides of the house who insisted on mowing multiple times a week. Their grass would be so freaking dead and brown by late summer even with watering, meanwhile my lawn which I mow every 2-3 weeks depending on the season (late summer it grows slower so I give it longer) never needed a lick of extra water and is still green today
