Guys I need some advice. This is my fist summer in my house and I don't know what to do with my yard.
I live in the desert, it's all sand. I have tumble weeds, cactus and all kinds of other weeds and wild flowers.
I can't mow or use a weed eater cause it just doesn't work in my yard. I have 1 1/2 acres so I can't afford to use round up.
I can't burn anything because it's to dry and my property backs a gazillion miles of Indian reservation and wow I would be in major trouble if I set that land on fire.
I don't know anyone that has a tractor. I don't know what to do, it's a mess.
Any ideas?
