I have a mole(s) in my front yard…. Is there anyway to get rid of these turds?

I am no expert, but I'd say that you need to put down grub killer every few months for the next year.  Gotta kill off their food source.

This should do it.

Ok folks, is it fall?  What do I do to my weed infested lawn now?

[pissclams]

maybe aeration is in order

Just spitballing here, but I'd guess the most you could do is pull and/or spot spray individual broad-leaf weeds. Then wait until spring and have your guy apply some pre-emergent.

Put pre-emergent on it now.

I have a mole(s) that can do a great job aerating it.

Aerate.
Overseed any thin spots or areas where weeds are heavy.
Fertilize (I use Milorganite).

You can decide next spring if you want to put down some pre-emergent when you fertilize.  This would especially help with crabgrass.  It just depends on if you want to put down chemicals or not.  If you do not want to use chemicals, you can try corn gluten meal.

Nothing like smell of 2,4-D in early October. I’ll probably die of cancer but at least my yard is weed free.

Don’t bother with aeration if you’re not watering or you haven’t had rain in the last 5-6 days.

My friend got a solo stove and canco they rule and are way less smoky than a normal fire pit. The instagram algorithm really works

Those do look cool, but for $500 they better be amazing.

I think my friend has the $300 one

I ordered the "Bonfire" one that was originally 399 when it first came out and on sale for 235.  Very exited!

That's a good deal. I think I paid a bit more. It is ok. Its just a vessel to burn wood that looks a bit nicer and has a bunch of marketing behind it.

[Kat Kid]

Yeah that is a good deal.  I like that it is mobile and also that it looks decent.  The smoke claims are really dependent upon firewood.  I use a natural cedar stick to start and it smokes quite a bit but as long as the wood is dry it really does cut down on smoke a lot.

[Kat Kid]

I cut down a small cedar tree in my backyard.  Is there a good reason to remove the stump?

Only if it annoys you. If you are patient over the summer you can also burn the stump down.

[Tobias]

in for some "kat kid attempts to kerosene the crap out of a tree stump" content

[Kat Kid]

it is right next to a wooden fence so no shot I am going to burn it.

How often do you guys take your mower in to get the blades sharpened and spark plug replaced? I didn't do it last year. Can I go another year without doing it?

lawn mowers are practically free just run that thing into the ground and then get a new one

[Kat Kid]

yeah I was thinking about putting oil in it this year.

[yoga-like_abana]

drill it and fill it with tordon then.

Blades once a year. spark plug every 3 or so. Change oil every 2. I have no idea if this is the right schedule but just what I’ve done for no reason.

Why tho? It is in the perfect place to ignore, is there any reason to get rid of it?

[yoga-like_abana]

Well you brought it up goober. No real reason unless its ugly and annoys you or is a PITA to mow around.

[Kat Kid]

I know, I just meant is there some reason other than aesthetics.  I didn't know if it would rot or do something else that was bad.
