WHy do you assume a lawn is easy to maintain? A cheap way to make it look better is to: 1) Get rid of the rubbish. 2) Use some herbacide to kill off everything 3) Get some decent soil from a garden centre 4) Sprinkle lots of three leaf clover seed and rake it well in. 5) Water every day for a couple of months. This will make a green areas that inhibits weeds and does not need much mowing. -- ------------------------------ Roger Irwin, Piedmonte, Italy Use this link to get my email address http://users.libero.it/irwin/email/handle.jpg
