LOL. My Instagram homepage is filled with dog and cat videos, and now pet food ads. I don’t have a pet, either.

I really hope that the whole status symbol of maintaining the “perfect lawn” becomes replaced with the “perfect native meadow.” That’d be great. Keep it up OP!

I did this many years ago. It has been interesting watching it develop. Really get to know invasive species so you can spot them and take care of it ASAP. And get a milkweed patch going for sure. I started one close to the house with three plants 3/4 years ago and I bet there are 40/50 plants out there now. I do two swipes for my main paths and one swipe for my “secret path” and I used to to do a weedeater for my super secret path. Ha. I always thought kids would love it and last week my grand babies and I went down and had a picnic in the soft rain under a redbud that I planted many years ago. I planted redbuds at the entry to any path (sometimes just a deer trail that goes through the woods).

I have a friend who did this and it was such a delight to visit. We’re in Michigan too. What a fun coincidence.

“I just throw seeds and they grow”, “there’s no maintenance” lmao

She’s not lying when she says her lawn was a wasteland.
That’s a perfect description when something is sterile.
