    Fertilizer my ASS!!!!

    4 years here, and I never once used fertilizer, of any kind.
    This Spring I decided to give it a try.

    And now I need to mow my lawn every 20-30 minutes!
    :lol::lol::lol:

    Never again.
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    I used this shit on some bare spots.
    This shit works like a charm.
    In 2-3 weeks.

    Funny, this was the top thread on my list just now. Spring Green just finished spraying my lawn. $50 per application, this shit better work.

    lawns must be a guy thing. i think they're stupid.
    i planted some mint a few years ago and it's spreading through my "lawn" like crazy. it smells wonderful when you walk across it. i wish it would spread across the whole property so i'd never have to mow again.
    did you see me? i saw you.

    I think there's some manual somewhere that says we must remain proud of our lawns..its the barrier between us and our enemies. And no self respecting man is supposed to admit that they want their lawn to smell fragrant. Its akin to the fac tthat I will never admit that I use a shay butter body wash with an exfoliating loofah after im done in the yard. ::growls like a caveman::

    needless to say, I had to hack at the bougainvillea this weekend. Thorns are not my friend.

    Dang, I was just wondering about that yesterday. My neighbors place is looking shabby. If they're foreclosed on, you've got a long annoying eye-sore to contend with. Sorry to hear that man...

    My degenerate neighbor moved away a few weeks ago. His lawn was getting really lawn. He stopped by to mow it but ran out of gas. So the strip right along my property line didnt get mowed, about 15 from my property line into his lawn. Never came back. So I mowed it. I had to go over it 4 fucking times it was so long, past my knees.

    Anyway, Spring Green sprayed last week. Those dandelions caught hell. They are dead as shit. Now I just need them to disappear and be replaced by grass. What spray does that? :)

    The dandelion plants are still there, they are just dead. If I spray them green it would just look weird. :lol:

    7-10 days I may have myself some tomatoes.
    I have already plucked some banana peppers and beans.

  • I hear that putting feritlizer down on labor day and mother's day is a good way to remember..
    I put fertilizer and now now the grass is growing like crazy. Its nice and green, But I notices a circle (diameter about 10 inches) in the middle of the lawn where it looks like the grass is dead or burnt. I wonder if I spilled fertilizer there. Anyone know if it can burn/kill spots??
