He he hee, yes, they DO love to roll on it, and then nap under it!

When I got my first plant, I put wire fencing to protect the lower 3 inches and roots (mine is right in the ground, not in a pot). That was a few years ago. Stuff spreads like crazy, I don't need to worry any longer. Anytime we allow Chestnut out with us as we work, I always know where I will find him; napping under the smushed one!
