Just to keep up the site theme, here's a picture of ponies gardening, and a picture of Pinkie Pie removing parasprites.

>20 minute shits
I take the natural approach. I let my garden do it's own thing, every year or so I'll clear out the thatch but only if I see other plants struggling. I get a whole host of random plants growing at any given time, so the bees are happy.

>Yeah, there's meant to be an f in there.
I try to meddle as little as possible, so that bees and skinks have a place to go and chill (one reason why I don't trim the garden in the spring when the holly is flowering).
I try to keep it neat so the neighbors don't complain, and believe me, they love to complain. They think it gives them power over me.

There's also some evil thorny rose weed that invaded from my poorly-kept neighbor's yard, which has thus far resisted my attempts to eradicate it, and so I cut it down and throw it in the fire whenever I see it.

Good lad. A tidy up now and again is good, but trimming every hedge and making sure every blade of grass is the same height is redundant. I can appreciate having a nice garden, but critters get the most use out of it. We have a trend here in the UK with covering back gardens with other concrete of artificial grass. It's clinical and horrible.

No plant is evil, but I can see how it would annoy you. I'd suggest trimming now and again, and composting the cuttings.

>artificial turf
Ugh, honestly surprised that hasn’t caught on in America. I spotted one home in my neighborhood where the owner covered his entire front lawn with pavers. Dude must have really hated mowing. Fortunately it sold last year and the new owner has restored the natural lawn.
