This is definitely much more appealing than a standard lawn, although with considerably more upkeep. Either way, it looks fantastic!

I loved the video tour. You always have something to teach – and not only about gardening.

I honestly don’t think it’s more work, at least once the plants get established.. I’ve eliminated mowing everywhere except for walking paths and the dog yard (that’s a little more challenging), and after two years of mulching and weeding the weeds have been beaten back dramatically. Yes, you’ll always have to weed some, but I don’t have to do nearly as much as I did at first. Then again, my yard has a lot of hills and angles that made mowing a real chore. Probably not that same as your little oval.

You are so right that it is NOT less work. We replaced our lawn with beds and walks several years ago (due to my husband’s frustration with the lack of putting green perfection) and now I spend more time than ever weeding, etc. But you are so right it is more fun and infinitely more interesting. Now if I can just get rid of the wild onion that is threatening to take over….

This just makes me happy looking at it. Nice job. Love to see the progress.

Isn’t it exciting when an experiment works out the way you hoped?
