Hi, hopefully this kind of post is allowed... I don't really get what Rule 7 is trying to restrict or not restrict.
We've got this weird problem with our lawn where the closer you get to the house the more the grass just will not survive... We even had it professionally replaced, but it just went back to the same situation - lush and green farthest in, completely dead closest to the lavender, and patchy in the middle... The neighbour had exactly the same and had enough, so replaced it with shingle.
Could be shade, or soil quality, idk...…
