Partially motivated by the impending switch to water meters in the city of sac, we're well on our way to converting our front lawn into a mostly edible landscape. In addition to shrubs and trees that will produce edible fruit, we will have other plants that will attract and provide food for beneficial insects. <br /><br />The transformation will take a bit of work, but we think it is well worth. Besides its a chance to change up how the space is used and make a better yard overall. We did use professional help in the design and plant selection, which is also very worthwhile. I can pick plants for a raised bed, but a whole yard is overwhelming!Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499033055622292656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073336228735412825.post-74276627915850859862011-02-23T14:21:32.378-08:002011-02-23T14:21:32.378-08:00Maybe this will spur the Husband to agree the lawn...Maybe this will spur the Husband to agree the lawn (at least in front) has to go.
