Here is the current state of my lawn.



When I do get time to mow, I just use the side discharge of the mower. Mulching sounds like a better option, but my mower is crappy and doesn't have that feature. I don't see why people would take the time to bag and then pay to dispose of the clippings.

It's so small that I don't feel that having grass or anything else is worth the trouble.

I have found the local extension to be very helpful. My parents received a grant that paid for all of the materials needed to plant 400 various trees on the property, and install a quarter mile fence to keep livestock away from a creek. They even have some tools available that may be borrowed whenever a person wants. I've used their Weed Wrench several times to yank Scotch Broom out.
