Did you just stop entirely and do nothing else? Or did you do some sort of zeriscaping or something?

I hate our lawn, but I don't know how to transition it to something else. I don't really have time to figure it all out myself and do all the physical labor of changing the lawn to something more manageable. So I just kinda mow here and there.

What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...
