Re: Book Give-Away: Beautiful No-Mow Yards, by Evelyn J. Hadden

I live in the country. And my south facing, side yard, of my house needs help! I killed all the grass on a 50' x 50' area. Three early springs ago. That spring I planted Dutch Clover. And while it looked great. It was a little to tall to be so close to the house. And that summer when the plants naturally died back a little. In my hot and humid summers. My husband cut the clover to short, with his mower. And killed it and crab grass took over! Two early springs ago, I burnt all the crab grass, in the 50' x 50' area(I don't know if that even helps!). And also sowed the seed to late, for it to get established. And yes once again, all that hard removal work, and seed money, down the drain. For the past year I have just had thick black plastic over the area. And I need to do something, but need some good advice, first! So this book looks great! If I don't win I am going to have to get together the money to buy the book no matter what. Because this area has been an eye sore for way to long. Thats visible from the street. But, since I am broke. It would really help out, if I won! Thank you for the opportunity!
