    Obstacles

    Does your landscaping interfere with your mowing? We have a shed and a playhouse that sometimes get in the way, but mostly we keep stuff on the edges.

    Ground cover?

    How about that low ground cover that you can walk on? Would that be hardy enough for a lawn? And am I right that it wouldn't have to be mowed?

    Cutting tree limbs

    What is the best way to remove extra tree limbs? Is the chainsaw the best plan or would we be better off using a hand saw, or is there another way altogether?

    I love dandelions!

    Not only are they pretty & prolific, they are also practically perfect as a food source. Did you know that every part of a dandelion is edible and nutritious?
