Our lawn never did recover from '11. Then we had construction last summer tearing it up and meaning we couldn't water and left hills and valleys. Recently, we've had a couple rains that have caused flooding and the water washed gullies through the yard. Now it's nothing but holes, bare spots and weeds so it's going to need a lot of pampering this summer. The weed and feed we put out a while back didn't seem to do anything so it's hand pulling. It's going to need some major pampering this year and a few more.
Forget grassy lawn. Plant edibles.
If you’re going to pamper, pamper something you get something out of.
