Precisely.
Nonvascular plants include club mosses, which are these short green fuzzy-spear looking things, if I remember correctly. They're rather hard to describe.

You were right, in any case.

I wish I had something interesting to say about nonvascular plants, but I don't, so you two will just have to come up with something.

No prob!
It would be a bad idea to plant your lawn in them if you were ever planning on having anything step on it, because nonvascular plants don't have the springyness(sp?) of vascular plants (i.e. grass) due to their lack of woody tissue (the xylem and phloem). You wouldn't need to mow the front yard, but you'd have to fence it in.

Why not just plant grass, fence it, and then get some sheep?

Heyyy... Then you could put sheep-food dispensers at strategic points around the fence, so people would come along with their little kids, the kids would say with the typical plaintive little-kid voice, "Daddy (or Mommy), can I please feed the sheep?", and their parents would have to pony up 25 or 50 cents so their offspring could feed the sheep. You'd make a tremendous profit given the buy/sell cost ratio, assuming that you live in a high-pedestrian area.

Actually, that idea came from observing the petting zoo at the San Francisco Zoo.

Buff Posted Jun 7, 2000
I think it was... how to improve your lawn? I'm confused too, and I started this forum. Oh well....
