We managed to score a bunch of slate and small boulders for free on Nextdoor. Most of the slate even matches what we already have around our garden so it’s working out perfectly. We are going to begin slowly extending the gardens out into the lawn, ripping out the sod as we go.
We had already begun planting micro clover last year, though it doesn’t seem very micro and is actually pretty large. But that is ok, it has filled in the back yard well and seems to be out-competing the ground ivy that has been plaguing us for a while. With this find though I think we will be able to get rid of all the lawn, maybe except for a small section so our kid can use the slip and slide.
Pretty excited and can’t wait to not have to mow anymore!
