You know, the clumpers versus the runners. Grasses that run will do everything in their power to ruin your day. Even the clumpers such as perennial ryegrass need to be edged but it's just the blades and not those infernal roots. I've used a straight edged shovel and a pair of sideways hand clippers for my back lawns because their area is pretty small. <br /><br />Thanks for the info on the paint program I requested earlier. I'm still working on my wimping out tendencies but hope to overcome them soon and check it out.
