Comment on They're called leaves for a reason.
tacosplease@lemmy.world 4 days agoYeah that’s definitely the issue here. There’s still a layer of wet leaves by the time the grass wants to start growing in the spring.

Let those leaves kill the grass and replace it with moss, clover, walkable thyme, native grasses, or any number of more interesting ground covers. I’m working towards a no-mow lawn. It’s fun finding creative ways to thwart a pesky city ordinance: “A minimum of fifty percent (50%) of all yard areas shall be comprised of turf grass”.

The layer of leaves kills that stuff too, right?

Probably. With a clover lawn you’ll probably need to reseed annually anyway. $4 per 1lb bag covers ~10,000 sq ft so not really a bank buster there, just a little work in the fall and spring.
