Kill your lawn.
I ignored mine for over a decade and it quietly turned itself from grass into a naturally low-growing ground cover that looks like clover. It never needs watering and the only mowing needed is to chop down the stray weed here and there. It’s quite nice.
Edit: I should add that the plant that took over is native to the area.
Hell yeah, nice work.
No thanks.

The choices aren’t just lawn vs mud
As a dad theres a reason for this.
Hobbies take time and money, maintaining a house takes time and money. You never have enough time OR money. So you make the thing you have to do anyway your hobby.
And the beauty of adult peer pressure is that I can completely ignore it without a second thought, and then go back to browsing Lemmy.
And then I can go over there and say “hey nice job, you can do mine next” and walk away.
I also don’t like neighbors. People in general, really.
I disagree. I experience no peer pressure in that moment, and would liken that emotion to something like pity, frankly.
