WW --oh, don't worry, our yard was never at golf course perfection -- we never used chamicals, and never watered other than praying for rain... Dad just got tired of pretending that he was trying for a golf course in the first place... especially since our nearest neighbor is about 1/4 mile away, so there is no one to get offended... And even if someone would get offended by it, he wouldn't be bothered,
