My neighbors get that done. I have about 4 feet of really nice looking grass. The rest looks like shit.

I need to nuke the area between the sidewalk and curb. Good god.


Did set up the timer for the sprinkler so i water at the proper time of day. I'm gonna have a nice backyard damn it

Move into the house next door. From what I understand the grass is always greener over there.


This. This is your answer.

I've said this before - Plenty of cheap beer !!!! Just pour beer into one of those sprayers and spray your lawn...

Its very natural and does a wonderful job in making the lawn very green, dethatches and kills most bugs.

Was a great day to throw down some fertilizer and seed!




And man, did my dog shit a lot this winter.

I always dread that first thaw. Like a goddamn mine field. Takes 45 minutes and two grocery bags.

I have neglected my lawn forever. I laid some crab grass preventer, which did nothing. I think I have every kind of weed growing somewhere. My dandelions laughed last time I put weed n feed down. They just grew faster. I may have to bite the bullet and call the spray truck guys. $45 per application. :fp:

did some spraying tonight.

i do the mix it in a sprayer concentrate. cause i'm cheap

says don't let it freeze. pretty sure mine froze, as it was left in teh shed over the winter. not sure the impact freezing has on it. said to mix about 2.5oz per mix. pretty sure i at least doubled if not tripled that. the west side of my yard between teh sidewalk and street is a complete wasteland of dandilions. i layed down the anti weed nice and heavy. wait a week and do it again.

set the sprinkler to water the west side of the yard tonight

Lawn looks great, but I cant get rid of the damned White Fly!
Its a new thing here I think. Invasive species..very annoying.
I've spent nearly $400 treating a big gumbo limbo tree in my back yard and nothing seems to work 100%.

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!


Never again.

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.

crabgrass killer applied in the spring and fall
watering at least twice a week (more when it's really hot)
