Only scanned this; will take it home and digest it.

I'm dealing with escaped English lawn on my property. Growing native grasses in the nursery to fight English grass - eventually. Need to kill stupid deer first. They love eating the native flowers I plant. The stupid deer won't touch the English pea plants the pioneer ladies planted in the 19th century.

Guess the stupid deer don't eat anything written or grown in the English language.

Damn...

My process for exotic grass replacement goes sorta like this: Kill, plant native plugs, hit with pre-emergent for at least two years to establish plugs, mulch in the summer, reseed with native clovers and lotus (there's plenty there in the seed bank, I've just managed to collect some.

The hard part is weeding inside the clump of native grass, particularly distinguishing, say squirrel-tail or zorro fescue from a perrenial native fescue. It can be torture.

BTW, I've been out slurry-sealing my driveway all afternoon and a sudden flash of brilliance camest upon me...

You see, it's about 500 feet long by 12 feet wide and in a LOT better shape than the county road, which isn't any bigger in many places. So what do people do but "get lost" heading down my driveway. It happens about three or four times a week. I've got just the ticket.

That 12' driveway needs a double yellow stripe right down the middle, with a sign at the top saying NO WAY.

If they're gonna be confused, it might as well be total. OTOH, I'll bet a good many will run off the right side of the road trying to stay off the line.

Oh well, maybe it's a good thing I'm not rich or I'd be truly dangerous. Ya here that Meester Rockyfeller?
