Grass

Don’t jump to any conclusions, this is not about marijuana. Some of you probably have stopped reading by now. Today I am talking about grass - in the yard, mow, keep the weeds out - grass. The problem I had was two flower beds, that were nothing more than a weed paradise.  So, I got rid of the flower beds and put in grass.  I don’t do weeds unless I use Roundup®. There are other fine products to kill weeds down to the roots.  I just like this brand.  If you mix 32 ounces of concentrate to one gallon of water, you can kill rocks. 

In this area of the universe, St. Augustine is the dominant grass. Personally I think it is a weed. But, that’s what I had to go with. This meant that I had to go to the grass store. Just like everything else, it is a lovely drive if you take a lunch. I was surprised about the reasonable price and the people were nice and loaded the grass into my truck. Then I had to come home, unload the grass into a wheelbarrow so I could get inside the fenced area and put the dang stuff in said flower beds. Next I had to put about ten million gallons of water so the blame stuff wouldn’t burn up in the East Texas heat. For the next few weeks, I will have to continue to water daily until sometime after the end of the world.

If I were in charge, which I am not, I would use Roundup® over the whole yard. Barren dirt is good. It is easy to maintain.

All you have to do is wait for a strong wind.
