(I wonder if I could get some input from some thoughtful people.)
We have weeds in our lawn...quack grass in the front & some rounded, flat leafed low growing weed in the back yard.
The debate: I don't mind weeds...it's green & gets cut with the rest of the lawn. The weed in the back looks nice to me because it has tiny bluish, purple flower & it looks like a ground cover, it isn't. (We have a natural yard, not manicured)
My husband wants to use weed killer on it all because he's afraid it will bring down the value of the property if/when we resell. That & he doesn't want to upset any of the neighbours. I understand his views/position, but...
I'm against pesticides, herbacides & any other 'cides'.
We don't have the time to do it all manually...there's alot of lawn.
I've wanted to replace the whole lawn with ground cover (so we don't have to cut it any more) but that's a long time from now.
Any thoughts or suggestions to avoid a fight?
I know he's going to push for poison. :(
