[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a neighbor across street. Younger couple maybe 42-45. Two kids maybe 8-10 moved in four years ago.

Front laws don’t have fences. Somehow they bought the house from an 85 year old widower who owned house almost fifty years and in three years turned front lawn into a massive dandelion patch with seeds flying everywhere.

The guy had a typical WFH job. Wife does not work kids in school all day. Dude spray them, dig them out or at lease keep lawn shorter so they don’t shoot up.

No one cares except the two neighbors left and right get weeds everywhere.

One of man child dads off bike riding or something while his weeds are everywhere [/quote]

Dandelions are good for your soil due to the tap root and make your lawn healthier. They are also pretty and good for pollinators and children love them. Why are you complaining about something good? pick something bad and damaging to the world to obsess over -- there are so many options.[/quote]

The chemicals needed to have a perfect weed free lawn are bad for my kid's, bad for the bees, bad for the environment.  Violets and dandelions are fine.[/quote]

A single species line is not beneficial for the environment or for nature. While I personally pull up dandelions, I keep violets and other flowering plants in my yard. I have no desire for a monoculture lawn, unlike my neighbors who spray spray spray and round up weeds. I have 0 desire to be like them. [/quote]
