You can walk on grass. You can sit or lie down on it with reasonable comfort too. Is any other ground cover so accomodating? 2. Grass keeps all the lawn mower manufacturers and repairmen in business, to say nothing of teenage boys who cut grass. 3. A groundcover that is not mowed might have to be weeded, if it is not dense enough to choke out all weeds. 4. There are prettier groundcovers. Myrtle produces small violet flowers, for one. 5. Grass seems to be pretty tolerant of sun and shade - what about other groundcovers? -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Janet Smuga I've had a great many troubles in my time, mtuxo!smuga and most of them never happened. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
