That's just what he calls this comic series. I pulled it off his threads post because it's not on his website. I had to stitch together the individual panels, since that's the only way I could find this comic in higher resolution.

Rake leaves onto the pathway because the handicap get all the cool parking spaces.

Kimberly trying to feel good about leaving a mess around her yard

go forbid your yard not be a sterile wasteland

I leave the leaves and pine needles in my backyard because it beats having a giant dirt patch.

I don't really want grass back there, but what else is comfortable to walk barefoot on and can hold up to large dogs, growing kids, and a small flock of miniature dinosaurs running allover it every day?

And I've spent an obscene amount of money on grass seed the past couple of years only to be told that I can't water it, between droughts and water bans from the city trying to balance water between the high-PFAS reservoir and the low-PFAS resevoir. Ugh. Can't win even if I try.

Try white dutch clover. It's walkable like grass once set it. Worth a try at least. It's been working well in our yard

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

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

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

Don't its roots slightly help with soil slippage?

[–] passiveaggressivesonar 10 points 2 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!

Kill the grass and replace it with clover

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Already is half clover

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

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