         In Richmond, there's a huge patch available just off of 
Laburnum and Chamberlain.
         Techniclly, it's someone's back yard, so you should knock 
and ask before cutting -- but if I'm any judge, they'll say, "Yes, 
PLEASE!"  Remember, this stuff is an amazingly fast-growing weed, and 
a real hassle to keep under control if there's sufficient mosture.
         Cannot give exact location, but from intersection of the two 
streets above, turn east on Laburnum.  You'll see the patch, 
overrunning alley and sidewalk, on N side of street within five 
blocks of Chamberlain; the house associated with it is on the W side 
of a side street intersecting Laburnum.
         Bring a machete!
