Even throw some sunflower seeds in for good measure. Worms, bugs, birds nests. The noise of birdos, bees, flies, squirrels, falcons, owls and raccoons is much better than lawn mowers. I just let the mulch of leaves and grass accumulate, then harvest it when it is turning into black paste an use it to plant herb beds and set on bird feeders. Pigeons and doves are king. They keep population of own and falcons fed and it keep mice in check. Also, monoculture gmo soya "farmers" hate pigeons, so I like them. It makes them seethe with impotent rage.
