At least it's not obscured by some 2 wheeled 'steed' with mis-aligned tyre valves and overlong brake hoses/gear cables.

Also what has Mrs bearnecessities done? (Don't forget the quicklime).

Nothing a knackered sofa or pile of tyres couldn't improve.

Maybe a heavily stained mattress?

I think it's a powerful statement on the fragility of man and the disposable nature our modern lives. Is it a standalone piece or part of a series?

That's not a lawn, it's a parking space.

stunning! All it's missing is some cat shit in the borders and a burnt patch on the lawn where the dogs piss. And an overflowing wheelie bin, but not on the lawn.

One of the primary schools I work with has a pupil dug WW1 front line trench across the school front lawn...

I've watched enough CSI to recognise a body buried at the back there with a few token flowers plonked on top. How is Mrs Bearnecessities, can we see a picture of her please holding a copy of the Sunday gardening supplement?

To finish it off I think you need a rusting Austin Maestro with 3 flat tyred wheels.

Ooh, they are in Maryland. I think they'll probably be able to do the OP's garden with some decorative paving. Might have enough space to park a motorbike on 😆

EDIT hang on.. I shouldn't report spam and then comment on the spam post should I?

After 2 days of scarifying, TBH mine doesn't look much better anyway, crossing fingers and toes it comes back, we've spent enough on fertiliser and seed!

Seed is tricky.

I've found that to fix patches, a good way is to scruff up the soil, put seed down then cover it lightly with grass clippings. Helps keep the seeds damp and the birds off.

Your side of the fence needs treating or possibly painting. Other than that it looks good, a proper wild garden designed to attract the rare trampeous hobolus species. If you're still not attracting them (even with your stirling efforts) try adding a large rusty oil barrel and an open bottle of Rustins.

With the addition of a knackered fridge and some worn tyres you could make that a feature lawn.
