Seriously, I don't want waist high grass and weeds right up
close to the house, so we just mow the weeds couple times a month three
inches high with a mulching mower. Eventually, the area becomes a lawn,
as the goldenrod doesn't like being cut short, only plants that prefer
being three inches high survive.

And, we all know there are no weeds with a growth habit of under three
inches. *rolls eyes*

Eventually, from /only/ mowing "a couple times a month" the area doesn't
"become a lawn", it becomes a patch of three inch high weeds.


OK, so maybe it is just a patch of three inch high weeds, but it looks
OK to me and it is a lot less work than trying to maintain a
stereotypical suburban lawn.

I was in Lowes yesterday passing through the lawn & garden dept when a
woman asked for advice. Her hubby wants a golf course look & feel to
their lawn. Earlier in the summer he got a restricted use pesticide
license just to buy insecticide to kill all the earthworms in the yard
because he could feel the little mounds when he walked on the grass.
Evidently used it all on one application. She was there to get off
the shelf pesticide to kill the "army worms" in the lawn. When asked
to describe the army worms, her description wasn't even close.
After a long discussion about the improbable perfect lawn, and seeing
what their goal was, I finally gave up.

Wife didn't say which one. I don't think you can buy DDT in the US can
you? Don't see it on the restricted list.

No it has been banned.

It was a tongue in cheek question, never mind. I try to avoid most of the
bizarre inquiries in here as much as I can. Less flames.

Sounds like a regler maroon to me. Tell him to get some Dylox, eat it
and then **** it onto the lawn. That's what the porfeshnul golf course
dudes do.

Actually, if true, the man should be in jail.
