This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

When I got a lawn, I didn't do anything to it. It gets mowed every two weeks, but that's it. After a particularly nasty drought most of the grass died. A few months later, clover started popping up on its own. It's much better than grass, and now a bunny likes to visit us.

We get lots of bunny visitors at my place as well, but I noticed a couple have crazy big ticks around their ears. Luckily we haven't gotten any in the house or anything, but has def made me less "pro-bunny" lately.

That shouldn't make you less pro-bunny. It should make you more pro-possum. It's an ecosystem. We threw it out of wack, but there are things that help keep tick populations down.

Unfortunately the thing about opossums, as well as chickens and guinea fowl, being tick control may not be empirically supported.

I would love to be proven wrong if anyone else has other info :(
