Why? If it ain't broke....


The main reason is I'm taking out the grass everywhere else back there
and turning the whole "back 40" into a wildflower meadow. I have way too
much grass to mow and otherwise worry about. I'd rather spend my time
putzing around in the garden.


Excellent reason! Wildflower meadows are lovely...There's a
meadow across the road from us, about (guesstimate) 30 or so
acres. It's cut once a year - it would turn into forest
otherwise. It's very lovely, all year long. I'm sure it
will eventually be sold as building lots, but I hope not for
a long time.


The only area I'm not sure about is directly under the trees.

I'm not sure either.



Also, I can't get the tractor under there to mow without risking taking
my head off in the process, or at least putting out an eye.


Right. I know this can be a problem.

I saw this on an Elliott Coleman show. Put down several layers of
newspaper or use cardboard. Put mulch (leaves, grass, etc.) on top
and leave it for 6 months. They were doing this in the fall and said
the grass would be gone by spring.
