<p>SB Mom: Demonic possession falls outside the realm of testable possibilities, and therefore isn’t within the ability of science to examine. (That, BTW, is the fundamental difference between science and religion. Science produces testable hypotheses.)</p>
<p>THis is all very interesting and makes me feel better about what might be going on with my lawn. Little Mother, our lawn is aerated regularly in th spring/summer…and our neighbors isn’t. </p>
<p>Dmd, your experiment sounds interesting…and I’ll pass along your suggestion to H - that we replace the neighbors sub soil with gravel to test you hypothesis. I’m sure he’ll get a good laugh :)</p>
<p>There were three different experiments! You could do them on a small patch. Personally, I think you should look at the two different soils under the microscope first.</p>
<p>ok dmd, lol. The day I have time for lawn experiements will be a new day for sure ;)</p>
<p>Actually, I bet the various responses on this thread are all part of why my snow melts right away.</p>
<p>Ahhhh, we’re moving into Spring where today…65 here today…so snow may not be an issue any longer.</p>
