I so envy people who can plant their Brugs in the ground. I'm surrounded by all kinds of Bermuda grass, the scourge of the earth and impossible to get rid of. With the amount of fertilizer and water that Brugs need, I would be knee high in grass. Then I would have to worry about what is hiding in that grass since we have water moccasins, copperheads, rattlesnakes and coral snakes to worry about, but mostly the first two. I keep my Brugs in pots. It's safer!
