Garden Design Course: Free in a Single Pic

Under a pecan tree not much grows.
.
Tara Turf is best.
.
Why?
.
Increased pollinator habitat increases crop yield up to 80%.

 Susanne Hudson found herself with 4 benches needing a home.  Exquisitely, they found a home.

    What per se is "Tara Turf"? I have a huge tree beside our house that looks like it could do with your recommendation!

    Rebecca, TARA TURF IS UNIQUE TO EACH REGION.
    .
    TARA TURF, in GA, is a mix of grass-moss-clover-mondo-ajuga-dandelion--mazus-and what the wind blows in. Add crocus, dwarf daffodil, thyme if desired.
    .
    TARA TURF is mowed at 1-2-3 heights, below. Beneficial to wildlife, organic, sustainable, fragrant, low maintenance, eco and only uses rainwater.>


    TARA TURF, mixed heights, above, in England.

    .

    Studying landscapes in Europe I noticed, NO LAWNS. TARA TURF is used commercially and residentially.
    .
    New neighborhoods lack smell and mixed insects. Did you know there are more good bugs than bad bugs?
    .
    Old neighborhoods smell like my childhood. Clover, grass, bugs, dirt, all the good things.
    .
    Most new neighborhoods have deed restrictions outlawing TARA TURF.

    TARA TURF in England, above.
    .
    The outlaw label, against TARA TURF, should be amusing but the stakes are too high.
    .
    The cost of mow-blow-go is too high. Lawn mowers are not regulated. One hour of lawn mowing is equal to 11 hours of driving a car.
    .
    Fertilizer, insecticide & fungicide kill machorizal fungi. TARA TURF in Italy, above.

    .

    And drain into groundwater. Atrazine in our drinking water was on the front page of NY Times 8-23-09. TARA TURF uses no chemicals.
    .
    Yes, I design lawns. Preferring TARA TURF but using what deed restrictions require.
