> the worst you get on a typical suburban lawn if you mow but don't spray are dandelions and clover

I also get a lot of morning glory AKA bindweed that kills my grass. But spraying doesn't really help with that anyway, so :shrug:.

Bindweed is evil incarnate in plant form. Wouldn't wish that on anybody.

		We hand some log droughts here about 10 years ago where you were not allowed to water the lawn at all. I would have expected a single dominate weed to take over, but instead, if I let the grass grow for 6-8 weeks in summer I get this amazing field of different knee length plants. And it alive with bee's and butterflies. I much prefer it to lawn.
