About three years ago we forgot to do the spring weed and feed. That summer we got some nifty bugs. So, we did away with the weed and feed to see what would happen. I'll yank out the thistle that grows from last winter's birdseed by hand. Each year we have more interesting beetles, bugs and spiders, and more birds. These things are much more important to us than a perfect lawn.
Isn't he pretty?
