No Mow May and How I Learned I'm Allergic to Grass
(lemmy.world)
I've basically been letting the grass in my back yard grow all spring. Cut some paths through so my small dogs could easily navigate and small patch for my senior dog.
Then I saw the foxtails I thought I had killed were back. I started cutting the grass so I could get better access to the foxtails and my allergies went crazy. Instant runny nose, eyes burning, etc.
This has really dampened my enthusiasm. (/rant
there are no-lawn alternatives to tall grass. My plan is mulch mostly for ease of movement surrounding pockets of native garden for the front, and edibles in the back.
