 BA>>  I'd put an empty 5 gallon bucket out in the yard Monday
 BA>> afternoon, it is now about half full,

 MG> So you're saying that you're still a half-bucket short of a full pail?

Pretty much.  Been that way for decades.

 BA>> I suppose that the lawn is going to start growing
 BA>> again...

 MG> Not if you give it a liberal dousing of 2,4-D.

Too expensive.  It's a big lawn.
