Re: lawns and global warming

**"* O* <t*@earthlink.net>**

Personally I love a nice bit of lawn...looks good, feels good on my bare
feet, makes a first class pollen trap, and is easily the most dependable
(and yeah, you CAN even walk on it!) ground cover around. I mow mine with an
old non-motorized hand push reel lawnmower; pretty good exercise.
  As far as :stopping our infernal reproductive activity....oh, please, this
is a garden forum, right?
