Lawn Care

[Spracne]

My yard guys were working so hard yesterday I almost wanted to go out and help them

This one time, my dad had some Mexicans working so hard on his property that he went down to the gas station and picked up a 12er of Tecate and presented it to them in a bucket with ice and lime wedges.  I'm sure they appreciated it, but I was all like, 'daaaaaaaaaaaaad  '

I think I'm going to scalp my shitty St Augustine this fall and put down a tall fescue over it.  I'm pretty much as far south as you can go in the tall fescue neato super growing zone, but from what I've read it does well in north Texas when it has some shade to protect it from the heat, well brother I got shade to spare.  Then I'll just overseed with it every spring or when it thins out.  I was going to plant it like this weekend, but I just found out I can't because I just put down a weed killer   but it's ok because the internet says it grows best in the fall anyway!    Anyway I just thought you guys might like to hear about my exciting grass planting activities that will happen like 6 or 7 months from now.

Make sure to post pictures of the grass growth this fall with a Miller Lite pounder included for scale.

you won't be able to have both long term. You must choose. Choose wisely.

I forgot, what kind of grass do you have? Maybe mowing shorter would help the clover a bit more. Www.mowshortguys.com is not a real thing, just a decent hunch that the grass will not compete as well when it is short. Can't believe I am helping somebody grow rough ridin' weeds.


Gonna win 'em all!

supposed to be tall fescue, but i have a lot of invasive bermuda.  both seem to be ganging up on the clover.  i mow high and as infrequently as possible.  the first to help the fescue fight the bermuda, the second because i hate mowing.

my poor clover.

sys, I have a lot of clover that you can have.  I also have like 2 dozen other varieties of plants in my yard that you can have as well.

I have found that lawn maintenance differs drastically depending on where you live in the state.  Like, it's a totally different game in the KC metro vs. Western Kansas (Baldwin City, for example).

In Garden City, grass takes care of you.

fully disclose that i don't know what clover is, but can you like put some of that plant killer stuff that kills all vegetation in like a 8in strip between the grass and the clover and then just build some sort of barrier (stone edging or something) to keep the areas separate?  or maybe just spray that stuff on ALL the grass?

i'd like for them to live together peacefully.
