Hello! Enjoyed your podcast. Listened to the one from the Nau store. First, I would like to say that I have always been on the fringe; in fact, I've always been pretty far away from the fringe, and I like it there! Next, I don't have any ants in my house, at least not inivited ones; but, I do have many dust bunnies. Do these count? I also have a clothesline, but mine is more like a clothes rack. It folds up, and I keep it downstairs. This way I don't have to worry about pollen getting on my wet clothes. I have allergies, and pollen is always a problem. (I don't worry too much about the dust bunnies on the clothes. Just a shake or two, and they fall off!) A great place to check out all different types of clotheslines, racks, etc. is: http://www.ecowashinglines.co.uk. They do ship to the states. Lastly, if anyone is looking for an alternative to having a green lawn, buffalo grass and blue grama are great alternatives to the regular grass seed that most people use. These varities use very little water, and are very hardy. This is good, especially if you live somewhere where water is scarce, and it snows or is cold in the winter. Hope to hear more of your wonderful podcasts. Wish I was closer to Chicago.

Thanks for the good tips, Mary! I'd add my vote on clotheslines for the "Versaline Slimline Clothes line," which is made in Australia where they have plenty of sun and a robust community of clothesline lovers. It's meant for a back porch, and disappears when not needed. Google the brand, or google clothes line australia. A couple of different sites pop up for it.
