    This is a terrible take. Just because you imagine that nature will “figure it out” doesn’t mean we shouldn’t still try to good stewards of the environment all the same. In LA where I live, the mustard plants that the Spanish spread take over everything and push out the native wildflowers that native pollinators rely on. Then they dry up in the summer because they’re not meant to be here and provide fuel for fires. It I objectively bad for the environment in every measurable way. And don’t get me started on kudzu. The environment is so fucked up BECAUSE of people like you going “Oh nature will just figure it out”. Do better

    A few options. Cover the entire lawn for an extended period of time with a bunch of tarps or cardboard so no sunlight reaches the grass. Kill the entire thing. Start over with native seeds. Or roto till the entire thing

    For me personally Bermuda grass never stood a chance against all the clover, dandelions, cheeseweed, purslane, tall flatsedge, and broadleaf plantain that make up a lot of what used to be the lawn. Some of those are invasive technically but at least rabbits come to eat the dandelions and plantains
