Low Energy Lawns

Lawns play a part in any home - they give children, pets and people play space. In the past - they were a pain to maintain. We stopped fertilizing, watering and mowing our lawn and orchard areas.

We still may run the chicken tractors over the area to clean out bugs, trim any high points and fertilize it but handles the traffic fairly well for the most part.
