You may not like it, but that is still better than the one on the left.

    I am doing this to my lawn. Lots of "weeds" but I see some flower. I am not sure if this is good enough to help the local evosystem, maybe I should plant more local flowering plants.

    It probably helps more than you realize. I'll never say no to someone asking if they should plant flowers though!

    Look up the weeds using Google Lens. A lot of them are only "weeds" because they aren't "turf", you know? Like, I understand calling poison ivy a weed (despite it being native to my area) because it can cause a lot of pain. I understand calling gripeweed a weed because it really spreads like wildfire. (I believe it is not technically invasive yet.) But Virginia Buttonweed? Come on! It's gorgeous! It's not hurting anyone.
