LOL exactly what I was thinking, but I'm glad to hear I'm not alone in the lawn battle.

Our soil here is not clay, but it's shale w/ a lot of loose rock thrown in for good measure. It's said that VT is know for growing rocks and maple trees.

I've got some areas that have come in very nicely over the past couple years, but the back area is simply too rocky for anything to survive and get established. And I can't afford to have truck load after truck load of top soil brought in. So I'm trying to do the best w/ what I've got. Plus it's a great excuse for some serious seat time.
