Not a bad idea if one can make it work. Crabgrass is taking over the world around here. I fight it but this year it is on steroids. I have it in shade; I have it where the spring lawn grass was thick before the crap germinated. It is everywhere. Not just my place - EVERYWHERE. Except about 5 millionaires' lawns in town with crews nonstop. But I'll keep trying.
Our whole state is under a burn ban, we’re so dry here.
What with the amount of woods NH has, I can certainly see why. Our pond is ridiculously low, and so far we have not had any problems with our well, thank God, but I know others who are very concerned about theirs.
