Shoutout to u/OldAssNerdWyoming - you inspired me Dude!
Wish I’d gotten a before shot.
The yard was entirely knee high grass, there was grass overgrowing the pavers, and more dog poop than I’d care to admit. My kids weren’t using the playground because of it, and no one was going outside if they didn’t have to.
A couple years ago now, we got 3 giant New Zealand White rabbits to see if they’d help eating the grass, but that backfired cos they don’t eat nearly enough to counter the amazing fertilizer that is their poop. lol. (Should have gotten an army of Guinea Pigs, it’d be leveled by now!)
My wife (who’s the green thumb of the family) is too busy to do anything with it, so I’ve managed to take it on and done half the grass so far, over several sessions across the last few weeks.
Since then my youngest has been coming out to play, and we’ve had a few little bonfires in the barrel.
It’s also been nice to sit out with a cuppa and read a book while the dogs and rabbits run amok.
Still HEAPS to do, but I’ll get there! Pinkie-promise.
