| hey gardeners!
why do some prefer groundcovers instead of grass? i really need to make my concepts clear about this. |
Follow-Up Postings:

| 1. Grass uses a lot of water and maintenance. A lot of ground cover need less water and maintenance. 2. Some area are just too shady for grass. 3. Many of the ground cover do not need to be mowed. The downside is that your local HOA or municipality may make you have grass :-) Paul |

| This might be helpful if you are in Florida. http://www.floridayards.org/index.php Basic theory is grass takes up a lot of water where you can put native plants and mulch in that does not. I have a couple strips of grass that are useless for recreation that I'm going to turn into native plants with mulch. |
