Or not have a lawn that needs mowing? Aren't lawn mowers bad for the environment - air pollution, noise pollution, requiring oil and water and perhaps chemicals, etc.? Lawns are usually a North American landscape item from what I've read; how do other countries avoid mowing? I hear there are types of grass that do not grow tall, if a compromise is desired, but I've no experience with them. We've got a lot of lawn here, and I'd support a move to less mowing. -- Patrick My new email address: luke631@mailagape.com -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
