My front lawn is a native prairie restoration AND why / how you should do it too

I did a complete scientific prairie restoration in my yard. It turned out beautiful, and I love it. It's full of beautiful flowers and wildlife. While I was planning this, I consumed a lot of videos that only showed part of the process. They were super helpful, but I really wished there was a complete video of the multi-year process. So, I made it myself!!

I had to use an AI tool in 2025 to clean up some of the older audio, and so there are a few places where words get garbled, or I sound like a muppet. But I'm glad to finally share this video after so many years. To raise the lawnmower, just buy wheels that add the height you need, match the bolts that the original wheels were attached with at the hardware store, and you're off to the races. I don't own this house anymore, and I have no idea what the new owners have done with this, but I really hope they kept it. So, I can't answer questions about how it's doing, and I couldn't shoot new footage.
