Is there a groundcover that doesn¹t need mowing, is kid-friendly but
uninhabited by critters and insects? That¹s a tall order as this
reader finds outŠ

QUESTION: ³We recently moved and purchased 5 acres but we only plan on
a small garden for now. I really don't want to spend time mowing right
now. Is there a short ground cover which the kids could play in?

²I am reading things about snakes, chiggers and ticks. I want my kids
to be safe, yet I would like to keep the mowing to a minimum. Any
suggestions?² * Linda

ANSWER: Most groundcovers will attract those unwanted elements,

like predatory merchants.

Why can't you just answer questions that are asked?

Oh, he takes all major credit cards too.
