Further adventures of the Death of the Lawn! I got two more huge bales of mulch delivered on Wednesday, love that I can get it from a local farm and it's spray -free.

Since we sold the car I've been getting shopping delivered and it comes in paper bags, so I laid out a bunch of them this time, but I'm using any cardboard or paper product I can get my hands on.

It feels so slow, this progress, but as you can see from the stuff I did several weeks ago, the grass is gone and the arum italicum is popping through. It's mildly toxic but only if you eat it, so it can stay for now, but I'm planning to crowd it out with native violets. Bought a pot to start us off.

Continuing Operation Lawn-Be-Gone (images from last weekend, but I will be doing more of this today).

We have kikuyu here which is a great lawn but also hard to contain, which makes a it a weed. And as I refuse to water or mow lawns, I'd much rather get rid of it and plant some other more interesting things (thinking native violets, chamomile, dichondra etc).
