It's raining buckets here and getting ready to (or fixin' to as we say in Texas) rain in Austin. My poor yard sure needs it. I have been watering less this spring/summer to save money and encourage stronger root growth (when you water less the roots have to grow more in search of water. Ultimately, with a bigger/stronger root system, it helps the grass need less water.

We have ANTS in the house here in Houston! My daughter uses only natural/organic products and I can't find anything to kill them (she's still in bed). I have some spray at home that is a very strong peppermint oil spray, that kills ants on contact, but I can't remember where I got it.
