Well I have small dilema to deal with.  Last year I saw that my lawn was slowly being taken over by ground ivy.  I did some resaerch, made some calls, and found out that ground ivy is a tough one to get rid of.  I was thinking "oh I can buy some weed killer next year and get rid of it in the spring and not have to worry about it".  NOT.  I pull the ole lawn mower out today and start at the front lawn.  I was shocked to see that the not only was the ground ivy in the back yard but due to the warm winter it has covered my lawn.  Bummer for me because there is no way that I can deal with this.  I don't have the resources or the expertise to stop it.  So I think what I am going to do is just keep mowing for the next couple of weeks, call some lawn companies and get estimates on how much it will cost to treat my lawn.  All I want is a nice lawn full if green grass.  Is that too much to ask?
