Re: [sqft] list function and grass question

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Well, actually, since we have been organic for several years, we don't have
lawn weeds! The lawn is so thick and healthy that it chokes them out I
guess. Now I do get weeds in the beds when the mulch starts wearing thin,
but not in the lawn. As someone else mentioned, we keep it mowed regularly
so nothing has a chance to go to seed.
