Clifford, My good friend, somehow I do not think that you have ever had a chigger bite you where you might want to frolic. (LOL) When I moved back to Oklahoma in 1993 I was re-inoculated by the friendly chiggers. Around my waistband it looked like I had a double wreath of large grapes. I had welts which were a good 3/4 inch across all around my poor body. (LOL) Now, at that time I did not see the humor in all that. Yup, you could rool in the grass if you wish but, for me, I think not. (smile - scratch, scratch) Cy, the Ancient Okie...

In this area of the country, soils tend to be acidic and applying lime is a necessary requirement in order to obtain a good stand of grass. Instead of lime, one can cover the area with lime stone/gravel and given enough time, a nice stand of grass or volunteer weeds will appear. This approach does yield a firm lawn, where vehicular traffic will not mar up, mowing can be a problem if the blades are too low or the ground is uneven, as you will get a shower of stones when the mower picks up the underlying gravel. One other issue should be pointed out, and that is your lady friends will not enjoy frolicking in the gravel. Grass, according to reports, is a much more friendly environment for socializing, even with the chiggers. Yours Truly, Clifford Wilson ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert J.
