Deleted the lawn, replaced with herbs.

🌿 Herb Lawn 🌿 ~ a story. When we first moved in (suburban South Australia), I deleted the lawn because Kikuyu sucks. I did this by blocking the sun with flattened moving boxes. Then I dug in a lot of horse poo, levelled it out and over-seeded with various bun-safe herbs and clover. I should have waited longer to do this, as all the seeds in the horse poo sprouted, so I spent about 12 hours one weekend pulling all the grass out, before re-seeding. I continued to pick grass out and now it's mostly eradicated. I cut it with a battery-powered brush cutter and only to about 15cm, not real short. The extra height helps create shade which keeps the delicate plants protected and the soil damp for longer. And the smell when cut is DIVINE. Salad and herbal tea are always on the menu now. Here's a comprehensive list of what's growing: creeping chamomile, thyme, oregano, parsley, various clover varieties, dill, coriander, lemon balm, baby spinach, rocket, dichondra, dandelion, common daisy, carrot, strawberry and mint.
