Hi Warren, your post made me chuckle, as I got monkeygrass coming out of 
my ears, too!
I have a large island area in my front 'yard'.  My island is larger than 
most folks city yards, lol, and it is about half surrounded with 
monkeygrass.  It could circle the island three or four times if I would 
thin it, but frankly, it's so thick that a full grown copperhead could 
be in there!  It's right next to the rock wall and I am simply afraid of 
all kinds of creepy things.
So I will also make the offer, except here it is a you dig it 
proposition..lol..
