I am 99% certain that our house is the only one in the neighborhood that doesn't use chemlawn. Springtime is dandelion season and its great. Now the clover is in full effect. I love that the bees and bunnies are going to chow town. Gonna hit the back yard next spring with the microclover. I'd love to get the point of a monthly mow. I hate grass and mowers. If I could let it go full meadow I totally would. Mainly because I know it pisses off all the old buzzards who have nothing to do beyond sweep their driveway 3 times a day.

We only mowed our back yard once a year for the past few years, and the fireflys are back in huge numbers this year. Our HOA is one of the most laid-back so we only have to mow the front like once a month.
