grass or no grass ?
Original Message   Apr 12, 2005 8:27 pm
hi guys...

this is kinda out there so if necessary remove it .

im in the process of cleaning up my property now that its spring here.

i have next to no landscaping as yet.

my driveway is pretty good but thats it,basically i have 4 acres of trees.lots of hardwood and softwood.

i have been removing as much of the dead and hard looking trees and thinning out the rest.

its starting to look kinda park like.

i have lend of a huge wood chipper that i have been putting all the brush and tops into.ill post pics of it in action later

i save the big stuff for firewood.

anyway i have been wondering that once i get done should i plant grass between the trees or just let it grow up into ferns and other woodsy stuff.i plan to try to average 10 or so feet between the trees,this will encourage them to grow tall and allow me room to work around them.

when i started you could hardley walk between them

i should mention that i dont like mowing lawns but i do have a good variety of riders and tractors at work i could use.

and i really hate pushing a mower. 

thanks for any input ...

Grrrrr...

OK, there are in many cases samples of the expensive meds so that you can at least try them to see if they work.  In these cases most of the time they either work or they don't so you don't need a lot of them to find out.  Also there are ones that have been around for YEARS that can be tried both prophylactically and for break through pain that are dirt cheap.

Again if you want that reference it lists all of the potential meds also and I can tell you which are the cheap ones and which ones aren't.

I am glad you are feeling better.

Here in Nova Scotia the weather changes in less then a heartbeat.  So hopefully I'll get some gardening in before long.  I have to keep going or I'll just be living room decoration.

Sherri,

You mention the changing weather, and I know that when the atmospheric pressure changes rapidly, I experience sudden headaches. Is it possible that at this time of the year the pressure is varying a lot with the unsettled weather?

I was told that the pressure changes may trigger migraines, since migraines are caused by constricted blood flow. Can't vouch for this as I'm not a medical expert, even though I've had many years of migraine, sinus, and tension headaches. {and you thought all I was good for was causing headaches}
