Still seems nice to not have to mow every weekend :) I think the clove just grows and doesn't take much effort, but killing the lawn seems overwhelming.

Hope you can get to the point where you can let it go :)

Nope. Incorrect.

Racism: the systemic oppression of a racial group to the social, economic, and political advantage of another

When a system oppresses you, no bootstraps to be had.

That's just another white supremacy myth meant to make it look like some people just don't try hard enough.

That will explain it. If you cared to do your own research instead of regurgitating the crap that's been spoonfed to you your whole life.

For now, I let it grow wild and mow it in certain areas because the grass grows so long and thick it's like a foot tall shag rug standing up. My dogs get lots in it and there's a ton of ticks if I don't.

I also already have wild strawberries, clovers, etc. and I'm happy for those to take over the yard. But I want to add patches / areas of native wild flowers eventually. Help the pollinators out some more.

There's a place, in my state, that sells native griund cover and even gives tips on how to 'kill' your yard and replace with native ground cover.

I also didn't specify, my backyard is all open and I've let that go completely. It's really fun to see how nature has taken it back.

Part of the front is fenced in, to keep the dogs safe, but that's the only part I do any mowing in, so I can see my pups when the grass grows too long.

Thanks for asking!

What do you do with yours?

It's clearly over their head.

Still get knocks on my door from companies wanting to help me with my yard.

No thanks.

Bunnies made homes in leaves, I get to watch a red-tailed hawk hunt in my backyard with their adolescent hawks, baby deer taking naps in the grass, the turtles still visit and have a places to lay their eggs (small pond on property), peeper frogs in the spring, lightning bugs like crazy in the summer, 3ft garder snake that suns in the bushes / front steps in the summer, birds have taken over the bushes and my dogs get to chase bunnies and watch the birds from the windows.

Besides this being a remenant of slave ownership, look how many slaves I have to keep my lawn perfectly manicured type thing, it's just another capitalist shit storm they sell you to keep you from seeing what's really going on and paying more for things that are ultimately killing you, us, everyone.

Oh, and I don't spend every waking fucking moment on the weekends, mowing, raking, moving specific nature into another spot, all for vanity's sake and to turn around and do it all over again.

Or go get gas, spill it filling up the lawn mower, further pollute the atmosphere etc., (my stuff is electric anyways).

So many benefits to this.

Take your time and energy back.

Stop fighting nature.

Let the planet live like it wants.

Thank you, I keep getting down voted because I said the same, but obviously other get it. Appreciate you and the sanity check!

Like how I clearly said the article had been posted before without mentioning China, especially in the article itsef, never mind in the post? Which obviously shows it was more about the title of the post?

I bow to YOUR mental gymnastics and ignorance combined with brute confidence.

Tell me you don't know anything about anti racism without telling me you don't know anything about anti racism.

Read a book.

You'll sound less stupid (maybe).

But you don't think buying a Tesla, Tesla stock, makes you a Nazi or a Nazi sympathizer so...

This is why we're in the state are in.

Poison thrown at the wrong people.

I'm not stealing your money, firing you, taking away your rights as a human being. I don't think you're a 'parasite'.

I'm not the 1%, neither are you.

Focus on the real enemy. Then things will get done.

Also, thank you for showing people that there's space for these types of comments that lead to a pleasant and meaningful exchange!

This means more to me than you know 🥹

Appreciate you!

This turned racist / xenophobic real quickly.

There have been several other posts about this without mentioning China at all, especially in the post itself.

No where in the article does it say "chinese", literally anywhere.

Check your racism.

Edited to remove where I stated it was manufactured. I did a quick search and found a couple mentions, but did not thoroughly check sourced. Apologies.

This.
