Who da Ma'am. I da Ma'am. OK, I am celebrating before the victory, but still. I think I've mentioned that we have a small yard filled with horsetail. The front yard is filled with horsetail too. Horsetail is also known as Equisetum. It's an invasive species of plant that probably dates back to the time when dinosaurs ruled the earth.
In order to get rid of horsetail you either dig it up, or poison it. I have dug it up in the back and side yards. The front yard is the domain of the landscape company who was hired by the HOA - to whom I pay a bucket load of money every year.
Suffice it to say that no one really wants to take responsibility for digging up and replacing my front lawn - or the front lawns of my neighbors who are similarly afflicted. It seems there was some bad dirt that was hauled in, or bark mulch that had the spores in it. Voila, instant horestail farm.
So I fired a letter off to the HOA basically saying for the 88 bucks I pay you every month I could afford to do something about this horestail. So if the HOA or Landscaping company isn't going to do anything I would be happy to dig holes in my front lawn until it was all gone. Then the lawn would be gone too.
I got a quick response. We'll look into what it will cost to fix and we will put it out to the board to review. Whether or not the board will approve I don't know. I'm just thinking that we will look into it is better than a straight NO.
