Just joined. I am in the Orlando area. I am starting to convert my backyard but so far all I seem to have is Mutual of Omaha. Grasses & weeds. Bugs duking it out. But I would rather have that then my kids tramping through herbicides and pesticides.
I am hoping to start some clover next spring. I thought I might try the
fukuoka seed balls with the clover so I don't have to till the ground. It might be fun for the kids too. My wife would rather have grass but maybe I can make this work. The front
yard is suburbia driven (HOA) but I have zoysia so the only thing I am dropping on it is fungicides (
pests don't really go after it with all the delicious St Augustine in the other yards around me that the neighbors cut WAY too short).
Has anyone tried to maintain a
sustainable permaculture yard in a typical small suburbia fenced backyard?
