I hate grass. It’s nice when it’s nice but it simply is not for me. I’d rather have more room to grow flowering plants, fruit trees and veggies. Plus mowing sucks. I also hate weeds that don’t go away easily. I’m three years into a house and I’ve put many hours into weed control with minimal success on the nasty stuff. Name the weed and I probably have it.
I refuse to go the poison route and I’m looking into methods of killing both my grass and weeds if possible. My yard is also not level and I hope to fix this issue afterwards. A lot of people I’ve talked to have had success with the cardboard and mulch method but seeing as how I want to level the yard after I’m not sure this is the best approach.
Recently I’ve been looking into solarization. Basically covering the entire lawn with plastic during the summer and trapping out water and increasing temps to a lethal extent. Has anyone tried this? Any other advice on killing off an entire yard without the use of chemicals?
Thanks,
Dave
