11. This is a tiny rural town, but they no longer allow livestock at all.

That said, when I did have land in CA and AZ, I'd turn the horses loose to graze on the lawn. But I'm a townie now.

Can't even have rabbits more than a couple as pets. And that wouldn't do with the dogs. But I appreciate hearing from you. Guess I'll have to buckle down and keep paying the lawn guy. Although I keep wondering if I could conquer my aversion to debt maybe enough to buy a lawn bug and pay the credit card what I was paying the lawn man. After a year or so I'd be ahead. It might come to that. They're just sooooo expensive!

Could you plant a bunch of pine trees, and mulch under them until they get established?	MADem	Nov 2014	#12
I just might. Pine trees grow awfully slow though, don't they?	IrishAyes	Nov 2014	#13
