RE: just planted the hostas
haystack--I was in no way referring to you when I said 'discouraged'.. I was referring to the "baiting with ornamental plants" comment, only. I agree with you that it would be almost impossible to get established unless A LOT of it was planted and protected for awhile..While I think its an interesting idea, I'm also leaning towards it getting eaten to the ground if it hasn't already.
Once again, I wasn't referring to you at all, sorry if it came off like that. It just bothered me that someone popped in just to criticize the thread starter and call them a baiter
