#antilawn — Public Fediverse posts

You only get a very limited amount of free time during the summer. You don't have to spend any of it mowing the lawn! You can literally just do anything else you want. They can't stop you.

#AntiLawn

#AntiLawn installation for #Tartu2024.

The season's first mow of my lawn has been completed. I really need to convert more of this grass to mulch and shrubs.

@pezmico So refreshing. After bumping into a depressing lawn propaganda channel (SBMowing), I needed my dose of #AntiLawn injection to feel alive again.

@eugeneparnell two links to add to water to your mill:

How bad for the environment are gas-powered leaf blowers?

Do leaf blowers really save any time? I used a rake on the front lawn yesterday and it went pretty quick. As a bonus I got some exercise and didn't make a racket for a two block radius. I have one that I use to clean the garage and to get leaves away from the landscaping rock, but for grass, I'll take a rake every time. Mood: currently being irked by neighbor's contractor blowing leaves on a Sunday morning. #leafblowersarecrap #leave_the_leaves #antiLawn

Hey. Where is my friend @pezmico? I'm watching a blessed live stream presentation ATM on why everybody should be #antilawn !!

@pezmico Ha. Yes, I know. I recall some months back, you were the one who birthed #AntiLawn on here and made it go viral too (well, viral for Mastodon ;) ). So, I’m looking forward to seeing what you’ll come up with next.

Oh, BTW, some months back, I used some of your #AntiLawn memes for my Zoom still photo during a community garden commission meeting. Thanks!

Esperienza dopo un'estate di esperimento sul mio giardino a seguito di quanto detto riguardo #antiLawn.
Ho provato a tagliare tutto (forse 100m^2) all'altezza massima del tosaerba e usando la funzione mulching (pacciamante), quindi senza sacco. Il risultato è che il prato è comunque esteticamente piacevole e le porzioni non irrigate sono più folte e verdi, mentre di solito si creavano delle zone aride e secche.
Altro esperimento: volevo capire se riuscivo a tenere delle "isole" di erbe alte, per evitare di tagliare sempre i fiori alle api.
Risultato: alcune erbe riescono a non superare una certa altezza, ma non essendoci solo quelle il look è un po' disordinato. Però si può fare con delle piccole aree non calpestabili e naturalmente delimitate.
Lo sbattimento di fare 3 altezze (a zero, media, alta) c'è, ma non è eccessivo.

I remember a podcast episode about our weird obsession with lawns (not only in America).
Nice that this topic gets a hashtag here

Hello toot friends, I bring #antiLawn memes.
I'm hoping to radicalise you all against the boring monoculture lawn and turn you into biodiversity defenders.
