Don't sod the whole thing. Only sod where it will track into the house if
not
sodded. Plant perennials, trees and shrubs in the soil where there is not
sod
and use mulch. If you don't want plants, just use mulch. It will take at
least
two full years to fill in if you checkerboard.

That's right, use lots of mulch. Use mulch everywhere! It will take LESS
than two years for the termites to take over your house.


What are you talking about? Holy shit. Is Usenet getting dumber and dumber by
the minute these days? Gone are the days when relative intellects were the only
computer users. Now, anyone with a few hundred dollars can get online.

MULCH has nothing, and I mean NOTHING to do with the level of termites in any
house. It has NOTHING to do with it. Jerk.
