But the leaves cover the grass, choking it out and killing it due to lack of sunlight

[–] finderscult@lemmy.ml 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Grass will grow again in the spring, it's root system is fine for several months without sunlight... Assuming you have a local grass yard. Your yard is full of multiple species of local grasses and not just a desert of st Augustine right?

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 5 points 3 months ago

Correct, super diverse garden

Heck the grass it serves no purpose and is the worst monoculture we have

Don't its roots slightly help with soil slippage?

[–] passiveaggressivesonar@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Compared to bare soil yeah I suppose, one tree would do far better

You will not make me think of grass lawns in a positive way! I refuse!

[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Kill the grass and replace it with clover

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 1 points 3 months ago

Already is half clover

Grass like that is not much better than concrete anyway. Let nature do it's thing! ✨

The grass is tough as fuck and doesn't need us saving their asses

good things lawns don't have to just be grass, over here lawns have at least like 5-6 species in them and as a result the only thing that makes it look bad is mowing too much.

like i've seen people talk about how mossy lawns will dry out and die but it's just bog standard to have mossy lawns with 0 shade around here, the diversity in the soil makes everything more robust.

Do you have any pictures? There's probably half a dozen different species at least in my lawn

Australian lawns seem to be nothing like US lawns
