And So It Begins ...

The septic mound in front of our house is one of the last large patches of lawn.

And we are waging a War on Lawn.

And today, we opened a new front.

Fifty Carex pensylvanica plugs, freshly planted.

An experiment. The idea, the hope, is that it thrives and spreads. A native ground cover, septic safe, and one that does not require mowing. Although it might prefer a bit more shade.

A win, win, win.

Mulched with salt hay. Hopefully enough to prevent weed and grass from invading the plot.

It's a start.
