I had the same thought. Would it be better to simply ignored the land
cover it all with bricks/tar/concrete?


Not to mention the fact that it's illegal for some of us to have goats
etc on our property! As for letting the land go wild, I can tell you
that one bout of Lyme Disease is enough (I live in a tick-ridden area-
have not seen deer ticks here yet, but they are out there) and once is
more than enough when you have a kid that likes to play outside.
That's the main reason I mow my lawn, thanks.
