        That’s just what he calls this comic series. I pulled it off his threads post because it’s not on his website. I had to stitch together the individual panels, since that’s the only way I could find this comic in higher resolution.

      I leave the leaves and pine needles in my backyard because it beats having a giant dirt patch.

      I don’t really want grass back there, but what else is comfortable to walk barefoot on and can hold up to large dogs, growing kids, and a small flock of miniature dinosaurs running allover it every day?

      And I’ve spent an obscene amount of money on grass seed the past couple of years only to be told that I can’t water it, between droughts and water bans from the city trying to balance water between the high-PFAS reservoir and the low-PFAS resevoir. Ugh. Can’t win even if I try.

      Grass will grow again in the spring, it’s root system is fine for several months without sunlight… Assuming you have a local grass yard. Your yard is full of multiple species of local grasses and not just a desert of st Augustine right?

      good things lawns don’t have to just be grass, over here lawns have at least like 5-6 species in them and as a result the only thing that makes it look bad is mowing too much.

      like i’ve seen people talk about how mossy lawns will dry out and die but it’s just bog standard to have mossy lawns with 0 shade around here, the diversity in the soil makes everything more robust.

        Do you have any pictures? There’s probably half a dozen different species at least in my lawn

        Australian lawns seem to be nothing like US lawns
