No, no cats. A dog and thankfully she doesn't try to dig them up. I see very few grubs when digging for planting. But good advice, we'll give it a try.
Also being a new Floridian, and about lawns, the weeds are making me crazy. As is Florida grass itself. In NJ this grass was considered a weed. I so miss my beautiful fine bladed lawn. The weeds not only are numerous, they grow on runners. I pull in one spot and see it coming up a foot away. One grows are ground level and up over the grass. It smothers it from all sides. And it spreads so far and then flowers and seeds. And when my dog comes in she's got these darned sticky seed pods all over her legs. What the heck is this stuff and how do I get rid of it. My husband practly killed the whole yard once trying to spray. And for a gated community we have a good size yard. The largest in the community. Hit it lucky. But I'm trying to make garden beds along the back fence. I can't get rid of the weeds. Although I have not yet tried newspaper and mesh. Any help.
