Especially ironic when suburbanites rave about how houses are infinitely better than apartments because they’re “closer to nature.” You want to be closer to nature? Let natural processes work and have a lawn of whatever grows in your area naturally (even an “invasive” species is better than lawn grasses, unironically, and lawn grasses are almost always also non-native species, just ones that can’t actually survive in the environment.) Don’t water, don’t mow, don’t fertilize, just let nature do its thing. It will also attract more pollinators, birds, wildlife in general and instead of a lawn, soon you’ll have a natural meadow in your yard. That’s nature, a lawn that needs excessive water, chemical fertilizers, and poison just to maintain isn’t.

    What about weeds in a garden?

    Surround it in garden lining and just tell them you’re too lazy to weed it.

      Yes, being “too lazy to weed it” may result in housing agencies fining you in many areas.

      I am NOT free to do anything to my yard outside of cutting it to a certain length… and gardens have to stay “pest free” which includes weeds.
