Here are the facts:

The grass on Buena Vista between 466 and just past Stillwater Trail is being replaced at no cost to the Districts due to a problem with a weed control chemical in the fertilizer the maintenance company put out at the end of February. No residents could have this same problem as they do not have access to this chemical. If they have something that looks similar it is probably chinch bugs. And no, there is no chance of that problem moving from our grass to theirs. We are getting the same calls. I will see if I can put something on the District news website to explain the same thing, and I am doing one of my short Villages Gardener clips on VNN next week on the same thing. ELK
