@flacoman Coffee grounds are an amazing tip! I completely forgot my husband composts our grounds. Good call on the fish “p00p”.

Here’s two that I do :
Use coffee and coffee grounds for fertilizer.
Very helpful here in S Florida where’s there’s no organic matter to speak of
If you have a fish tank, use that water also. Fish p00p works really well and keeps water waste down.

I’m with Jen from Nova Scotia. Grass is evil.

If you do a Google for “steppable ground covers” you get all kinds of ideas for a nice green carpet (often with pretty flowers!) that can handle traffic; no lawn mower needed.

Great weed killer tip! I love to see earth friendly tips for lawn care. It’s where our food comes from. It’s where our children and animals play. We should take care of our own patch of land like we would if we were in charge of caring for the whole earth.

Luckily, here in NW Coastal Oregon, rain (more than enough) takes care of the watering for me and I don’t worry at all about fertilizing the lawn – then I’d just have to mow it more! In late August, Brown is a perfectly acceptable color for the lawn – it always grows back in October

I have a little electric mower – luv it – and it works great for my city lot, which is ever decreasing year by year as I put in more and more edible landscaping. The more edible landscaping I put in, mostly in raised mulched beds, the less lawn to deal with anyway

Leaving it to grow without mowing would result in a nasty letter from the city, and a fine if it was not mowed – I tried it once, so know from personal experience

I let the dandylions grow for salads, but will be trying the vinegar/soap mix on the thistles. Thanks.
