A good first step is using clover to fill in patchy spots.
It beings in pollinators and rabbits, and pulls nitrogen from the air to fertilize the poor soil. Eventually grass spreads in and the clover moves to other areas with bad soil, because that's where they can out compete the grass
A huge bonus is clover will eventually stop growing higher than you mow. Meaning you'll have to mow less often.
Why would you want rabbits ? That seems like a negative for garden
Good luck getting foxes and falcons if you don't have rabbits.
I'll just be over here living like a Disney princess.
Rabbits deserve to live too
edit: Oh my bad, actually fuck everything but humans. Sorry, I thought this was a community focused on alternatives to traditional monocultures, not the perpetuation of conventional horticulture. That's my mistake. Hey, I hear bluegrass is beautiful this time of year, let's all plant that! I know a guy who will come out and kill all your rabbits, dogs, goats, cats, squirrels, bats, mice, birds, lizards, snakes, cows, for free*! No more pesky critters eating all your food on your land.
*Free at the time of purchase. eventual charges include but will not be limited to ecological collapse and biodiversity loss. See the state of the fucking planet for details.
Thead's about lawns, not gardens. Different things.
