My husband and I like to garden and want to get rid of the last patch our lawn (about 25m^2) and put in raised beds. I'm trying to see if there is a reason, we shouldn't that we haven't thought of.
We care for the raised beds we have and enjoy growing our own food (so twee I
know!) and don't bother to even mow the lawn as we hate it doing it. But we do
have a young son who might want to play on that patch of grass when he's older. To counter that we live within a 15 minute walk of five playgrounds of which four
have enough space to kick a ball around with friends and three of those don't
require crossing a main road. We have a good-sized patio which we can put a BBQon and sit out there and eat.
Am
I missing something blindingly obvious which would stop these plans?
