Why No Lawns? (self.nolawns)

Well why would I want a boring grass mono culture yard?

This is basically how no lawns started. Over on Reddit just over 5 years ago I started no lawns after having a fun conversation with u/suuperdad about changing the boring grass lawn into some thing more native and better for the environment. On a whim I created a subreddit for it and we started with a hand full of people and now we're pretty good sized!

With the reddit blackout on, we realized this community needed to be bigger than Reddit. We already started a discord and we have an Instagram (although I'm terrible at updating it) we wanted to reach even more spaces.

I found slrpnk on accident but, it seemed to really fit with our theme and here we are!

We're anti monoculture, pro natives plants and we love a non traditional yard.

I'm glad you restarted the community here. I used to post on Reddit under a different name. I had posted a step by step on prepping a site by desodding as well as other advice.

I hope to start taking photos of my own yard to share and contribute to the site.

Hell yes! If you remember the username I may be able to recover that and repost here for you.

My most recent account is: u/valerisii

I have a history of purging my data so the posts might be gone but I hope they still exist. There's a chance I still have the photos and if so, I could always recreate the how-to

Damn I'm not finding it, do you remember the title by chance? I think I remember seeing it when you posted but I've seen a few good ones over the years.

It probably had desodding in the title. Or desod. It turns out I do have the photos still and I could recreate the post if necessary. It is very likely that I deleted the original post because I used to purge my accounts regularly but have slacked on it in recent years.
