You have big shady trees? That'll make it hard to grow grass.

Some trees put out a chemical barrier to growth, as well. Red Cedar and Black Walnut do it around here.

Interesting. The main trees around here are douglas firs, cedars, maples, hemlock, and madronas. Come to think about it, quite a variety. They all grow without any assistance. They're murdering the cherry trees I planted, which don't do very well.
