[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people so lacking in understanding? You don't need pesticides to get rid of weeds. Seed your lawn. You'd be amazed at what putting grass on your lawn can do. [/quote]

I suppose that works for some. I seeded our lawn every year for the first four years without much progress so I've haven't bothered lately.  Lousy soil, too much shade and too much kid and bike traffic leave me with crab grass, wild onions, dandilions, some random grass-like things and some sections of actual turf.  After the kids move out and I earn $50k more than I do now, I'll get around to actually preparing the soil, aerating it and growing some nice grass.  And I won't permanently park a car in the front yard like that other guy on the street.

The key to feeling good about living in a non-HOA neighborhood is not being the WORST guy on the block.[/quote]

Totally agree. I always check out the other lawns to make sure at least one is worse than ours. We keep ours mowed, at least, which a couple neighbors don't, so we are good. I happen to like clover and other weeds. Love the violets and buttercups in the spring. It makes the yard much more attractive. It looks like the yard I grew up with -- mostly grass but other stuff mixed in. When it's freshly mowed you don't see the clover unless you are right on top of it. When it's not freshly mowed, you can see it, but I don't mind at all. Most of the houses on the street are the same way.

I agree with the posters who said if the neighbor doesn't like it, he can suck it. It's OP's yard, she can do what she pleases. Doesn't sound like it's terrible anyway, so the neighbor should mind his own business. [/quote]
