Re: Question about RU

isn't the internet wonderful? go over to google and you can find anything from plans to build a 1950's style .22 "zip gun" to modern WMD's. just glad the BL legal dept. is on top of all of this.

other KBG's

well I'm thinking and shopping, nothing definite yet. the yard is tall fescue and etc. the thought is to overseed, maybe dormant seed with a mix of KBG. without driving to far, I find common KBG(KenBlue, Park) being sold. another KBG with a reputation for working in the STL area is Baron. also in do...
