Pseudonym Pseudonym: ASLplease ASLplease: hmm...I had heard of a ban on roundup years ago, but its always stayed in the stores, I wonder if there are different formulas. the formula that I used once about 5 years ago worked well. I basically stick with products that use glycophosphate or a good glycophosphate substitute. Seems to work well enough on my acreage. I find a lawnmower works, or, better yet, don't water lawn in the summer. Lawns on the west coast tend to be allowed to brown out in the summer because of water restrictions.

I thought with all the rain you get, water restrictions are few and far between and lawns get all the natural water they want anyway.

Stage One water restrictions begin on the island in May and end in September regardless of resevoir levels. I kinda like them because it generally prevents the retards from watering in the middle of the day, or worse, turning water on before the go to work and turning it off when the get back. The way idiots waste water here is sometimes criminal

Most people east of the rockies don't realize how warm and dry Victoria gets during the summer. They think that it shares the same weather and climate as Vancouver.

The Victoria micro-climate is amazing. Different weather patterns between Esquimalt and Oak Bay, Sooke and Sannich.
I recall seeing two feet of snow in Esquimalt and only a few centimters in Oak Bay. Boggles the mind at times.

Well, to be more specific, we cut hay in our back pasture, or at least we used to a few years ago. The Johnson grass started sprouting up and choking out our good fescue, so we've gone to spraying it until we can give our own grass a big enough edge. Once I start talking pastures and acreage, we move out of the realm of your standard lawnmower.

gunnair wanted sheep to trim his lawn, but he was afraid that his wife might get suspicious if she saw him out 'pushing' the new mowers.

ShepherdsDog ShepherdsDog: gunnair wanted sheep to trim his lawn, but he was afraid that his wife might get suspicious if she saw him out 'pushing' the new mowers. What explanation did you give to your wife when she caught you clearing the clog of wet grass out of the bottom of your sheep mower?

I was in a pub in Inverness some years back and there was a sign behind the bar that read "No hawkers or Campbells".

  There's a Campbell stone at Culloden too, but it's over on the other side of the field.
