re: honest question…why do so many of you soak your yard with chemicals?

I feel similar. I actually like the different weeds. As long as i mow every other week it doesn’t get out of control. For example, my yard has quite a bit of clover that the honeybees like. But several years back, i was into having a perfect lawn so i used chemicals. Maybe i’ll go back to that one day but for now i’m enjoying identifying things and watching the bees. In my garden bed i just pull the weeds.
