Shaded, sloped yard of weeds
So my yard is big and sloped and full of weeds. We moved in 5 years ago and the very top had grass by the road, and then pine straw all over the rest of the yard.
5 years later, pine straw is gone, and I killed the little bit of grass by spraying weed killer all over the yard. My spouse doesnt want me just spraying weed killer all over everything and I kind of agree but feel powerless against the weed takeover.
We have essentially no budget. But the weeds weigh on me and we certainly cant afford a landscaper.
I live in gardening zones 7 or 8 or 8a. Just south of Raleigh NC.
I dont care if I have grass. I want a yard my kids can play in and love the wild look of the forest. I just dont want weed yard. The weeds are short and dont look terrible now but 1 month from now they will be long and spindley and rough looking.
Any advice?
