Re: lawns

Just a word of caution. If you have turf about your trees its important to
know that the grass roots grow deeper than the non-woody absorbing roots of
trees. Dig out the turf roots and the absorbing tree roots go. We suggest
to cut the turf low and place mulch on top. more on mulch under mulch at

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.

I hate the lawn... period. If I had my complete say about it; I would
dig
it all up and have a giant flower garden.



I did.
