While tramping around inspecting the farm prior to making an offer to purchase the property, our Golden Retreiver Casey found the sand burrs. Now I remember these little buggers from being a kid visiting my grandparents in Holt county, and as most people already know, you don't want them sticking you very badly...they sting. Unfortuntely our dogs fur seems to be one of the dang things favorite targets.
Margie was emailing family details of our propective purchase, and mentioned that we will need to try and spray for the sand burrs so the dog doesn't get covered constantly. Brian's native Nebraska aunt Wilma replyed..."You don't get rid of them, you avoid them".
I hope a natural or chemical cure can be found to make a major dent in the sand burr population on the farm. I've noticed a few folks use Zoysia grass (I think that's it), and I know it's drought tollerant and would probably choke out the little devils... Any other suggestions?
