To make a short story long, the money I was going to use towards a $70 static grass applicator I spent on roses for my wife's 75 birthday (she's been so good putting up with the messes and helping on the layout). So, in lieu of an applicator, can I use a battery power DeWalt shop vac to make the grass stand up or do I need to start saving again? I hate to buy the grass and have it laying around if I really need the applicator. TKS
