Denis,

Many (if not most) cities have ordinances regarding yard upkeep. You might
like fresh dandelion salads every day, but your neighbors might not.

Many, many years ago when I lived in eastern Illinois, I had a pet rabbit
(from the animal lab -- in the same building where I had my lab -- when he
was no longer needed) and kept him in a large, open-bottom cage. He did a
great job of keeping weeds out, grass short, and the soil fertilized. He
also got along really well with a duck that I held over the winter for one
of my students; they happily shared the same cage.
