I have questions
1.) I notice this from time to time. There are people who place rocks all around their trees and/or bushes to create this really clean look. However, it's ruined as soon as grass or weeds grow between the rocks. I snapped this picture (see "(1)") of where grass has grown between the rocks and it looks fucking ugly.
How do you do this right? How do you stop shit from growing under your rocks? If you owned the property from the picture 1 and you had grass growing between your rocks, what would do you?
2.) My dad stopped tending to his backyard. During the dry California summer we had, most of his back lawn was just barren dirt. However, within the past few months almost all of the barren dirt had grown this lush clover plant all over. (see "(2)")
I'm actually a fan of this look. I think the clovers look nice and it's super low maintenance since the clovers grow so slowly. I think it might be a cool idea to INTENTIONALLY grow a lawn that looks like this. It basically serves the same purpose as grass. It's green and you can walk all over it, but unlike grass this doesn't need a ton of water and I don't imagine you have to mow it more than once or twice a year.
How did his lawn get like this on its own? He didn't spread any seeds, it just happened on its own. Also, do you see any disadvantages to it? Convince me why having a clover lawn would be a bad idea. Oh, also, I'm not sure if they even are clovers. I don't know what kind of plants it is. Just that they have three leaves. Based on a small amount of google searching, there are over 300 types of clover plants.
