I have a house that’s set back from the street about 100 feet and the yard is 120 feet wide. I don’t water or fertilize but I still need to mow to keep it under control. Does anyone have any tips for a space that big that won’t require an enormous amount of maintenance? I’d love to use primarily native species but the only thing that really seems to take off is thistle.
I’ve tried a few different native perennial seed blends and struggle with thistle and Queen Anne’s Lace. Good for a year or two then the weeds take over.
