I kill stinging nettle, and you plant it - LOL! - I need to figure out how to use the stuff. Sooo many of our natives are good for the wild things but not for me: poison ivy, bedstraw, and more sticky-seed or itchy things than I can list off-hand.
The ticks! The chiggers! Even in short grass, they're everywhere. If those chiggers weren't invisible to me, I might despise them less because I could kill them more.
The work of maintaining an acreage in 90+ temps with humidity... there have to be more perks than we can remember while we're sweating it out amongst the chiggers. Focus on the prize. The scenery, the solitude, the bug-free winters?
