What all did you do to replace it? I'm starting to reclaim my yards in my new place (finally getting dandelions!!) and my initial attempt at clover didn't take as much as I wanted it to. Really want to get my yard to as close as native and wildlife friendly as my city will allow.
Not op but I grow pollinator gardens in my community garden which typically attracts bees, hummingbirds etc.; check with your local nursery because there should be a native plant seed mix you can buy.
You may be a little late in the season (assuming northern hemisphere) for most seed mixes because I've mostly seen suggested sowing in fall or late spring
For what it’s worth, it’s perfect planting time where I am, still another week of potential frost in southern Alberta, Canada.
Depending on where you live the common dandelion may not be a native plant. They were introduced to North America from Europe.
For better or worse, my local/state government doesn't consider them noxious weeds because they're so firmly established that we can never get rid of them.
More not worth the cost to fight, so embrace it. Our city stoped spraying for broadleaf maybe 5 years back.
That and you can eat both the greens and roots which is great.
The bunnies in my neighborhood appreciate this very much.
My friend they grow in the film of construction dust that has built up in the gutter of my shed
We're only getting them in the edge of the yard, and it took a bit over a year to get that. Given how quickly the crab grass returned, I'm guessing the previous owners used A LOT of chemicals to keep their yard pristine.
I just love seeing people walking around with their disposable sprayer of round up to kill every single dandelion they see. Who's the weed?
DM me with your location and I can pass you some resources. :)
Dandelions are the best. I try to harvest them when I can get a bunch for lotion and things. They're nitrogen affixers. They help heal the soil.
