    So you lawn freaks... We bought a house a couple of months ago that is on half an acre of land, a bit in the front and on the sides, and a nice-sized back yard. We have a guy who is cutting it (we haven't moved in, still renovating, and don't have time for that right now), but now that it gets really warm, we have noticed that there are tons of mosquitos. The house and backyard haven't been maintained in a longer time, so we can shape it just as we want. There's a couple of bushes and trees, and well lawn. Is there any way to treat the lawn in a manner that the garden and veggies are not compromised but that kills the mosquito eggs? We try to use as little chemicals as possible, but this seems just a little over our head... Thanks in advance!

    Wow no idea. You should ask John (paysonites) as he runs a landscaping company.....he's a great guy I am sure would give it some thought for you.

    I'm not reading all of this thread but I presume its all about what Juggles' wife said to him just before their annual beach holiday started.
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I'm looking at getting a zero turn Toro entry level mower. Is there any difference in mowing capability between a 16 HP and a 19 HP that are on the exact same frame and offer the exact same features (besides paying an extra $500)? Even the blade rotation rates are the same.

    I would think no difference. the extra 3 HP would be for guys who need to "compensate"

    push it.
    push it real good.
    push mower came with a roller on it...I have the cool lines in my yard.

    I tried the checkerboard...but the grass is patchier than a tweenage boy trying to grow a beard. I'll try the front yard this weekend.

    My hubs had our daughter mow the lawn today, I helped her by pulling weeds, didn't want her to feel abandoned out there...when I was done and turned to come inside, wouldn't you know my fuckin' ankle gives out and I fall to the ground in a heap...Luckily I didn't land on my new surgically repaired hip, I'm sore all up and down that side though....ugh!
