Neighbours might look askance at Jarno Coone’s unkempt yard, but the local birds, bees and bats aren’t bothered by the aesthetics

    I appreciate that the competition is a tongue-in-cheek awareness stunt, but mate, if it doesn’t look like the (metaphorically) plastic monoculture grassscape that lawn enthusiasts make, it’s far from the world’s ugliest. I’ve seen people in the US dyeing their lawns green with a gurney. If it can’t attract butterflies and other bugs, it’s an ugly lawn!

    Good video on lawns - plenty of its content applies to Aus as well: https://youtube.com/watch?v=KLYMjPNppRQ
