We had the health department called once on us for our compost pile
and "weeds." .The person who arrived just laughed and said that
whatever the neighbors' rat problem was, it certainly was not our
yard. These are the kinds of neighbors who run an irrigation system
all night long every night throughout the summer and who love that old
weed and feed for their ugly nothing-but-lawn yard. We have some lawn,
also, but there are never any weeds in it, because a couple of years
of hand-picking takes care of it pretty much forever.
