Tom - Thanks for the Comet suggestion - I will try that!
Sally - I love yardwork too...When we moved here I insisted that we have a lawn - both for the dogs and for me to mow (love that smell!!). For the first 4 years I mowed a total of 9 times - the rabbits kept the lawn short! We stowed the lawnmower for another 5 years (just in case), then gave it to our daughter in California. That year the rabbits barely touched the lawn and I ended up "mowing" it with the weed whacker.
go figure!
