Re: The American Meadow Garden : Win A Free Copy of John Greenlee's Book!

I have about 1/3 acre of lawn and am trying to slowly get rid of it. The 1.5 acre property has five homes so there are many discrete areas that can be 'attacked' one at a time. I also live in the High Desert (Zone 8 near Bishop, CA) and want any tips about proceeding. Moving toward sustainability is important as the burden of manicured beds and lawn is overwhelming and expensive. What is the easiest way to remove areas of lawn that are about 200-400 sq. feet?
