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.

You must not live under an HOA. They'll fine you for not making your house look the same as everyone else's.
I would love to do that, if if weren't for ticks.
