SGI should require all drivers to get or renew their driver’s license. There are so many drivers out there that have one.

I always get pretty bad snow mould up here and am looking for the best management practices to avoid or minimize it as I prepare for winter.

I can’t/would like to avoid using fungicides as they are arduous to acquire up here.
