The neighbor hood next to mine was a colony of lawn burners.<BR/><BR/>Doug,<BR/>Thanks. My gophers seem to be thriving which makes me pretty happy.<BR/><BR/>Deb,<BR/>We're rural enough that burning small areas or tree trimmings is okay without permits, but large scale burns are a different thing.<BR/><BR/>RCW,<BR/>I was hoping you'd drop in ... thought this would be right up your alley.<BR/><BR/>Lesle,<BR/>No, burning is not the litmus test for goodness ... trust me.<BR/><BR/>Sharon,<BR/>Clever Dad!<BR/><BR/>Troll,<BR/>I think you are right on in that prediction. This burning helps to prevent worse fires in the spring also ... at least prevent creeping grass fires.<BR/><BR/>Robin,<BR/>Thanks. I love this place ... love tweaking it too.<BR/><BR/>Rurality,<BR/>I hear ya ...

He lived right in the city (admittedly on the edge) but everybody burned grass back in the day so no one complained. We kids loved it!threecolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811004278088768813noreply@blogger.com
