        Yesss!! My Mom converted her lawn to clover and moss this year. She has a family of groundhogs that come eat the clover! Apparently, they love it. But, they also love her vegetable garden. Posted 5 years ago

          Did not know that about groundhogs!

          I personally didn't convert anything, this happened automatically. Most people comment that our grass is "screwed up" when they see it. Henriette also kept begging for the moment to be able to mow it all down.

          If I can't even convince my direct circles, what hope is there? It's like a death cult.           Posted 5 years ago

            It's definitely not easy to convince people! Just say "thank you" when people say your lawn is screwed up. Natural landscapes are sexy.
