Front Yard Farming

Getting rid of the lawn

Lawn to yummy veggies
Getting rid of the lawn
Nice fluffy soil
Fencing to keep out the local critters
You can't eat lawn
Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Category: Home & Garden

Type of item: Plant or Flower

For: Garden

Style: Outdoorsy, Classic, Eco-Friendly, Casual


Materials

soil, seeds, water, sun and sweat.

What was your inspiration?

You can't eat lawn. Once the garden is established I spend less time maintaining compared to my lawn mowing neighbors. And I am a lot quieter.

What are you most proud of?

That other people are doing it too.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Only go to your comfort level. If you only want to garden part time then make some beds and expand every year with what you feel comfortable with.

You go!! I'm sure you've heard of the Michigan couple that are being taken to court for turning their front yard into a garden. sigh Do people really have nothing better to do than complain about their gardening neighbors?
