definitely get rid of that thing. you'll be constantly running it over with your mower if you don't.

now i want to know how you cut it down

Buy a woodchipper and turn it upside down. Then shove it over the top of the stump and turn it on. Problem solved.

Looks like he told his drunk, overweight neighbor he'd give him $20 if he could tackle that there tree.

Anyone doing any bigtime landscaping projects this spring/summer?

I think we're going to dump a shitload of rock in the part of our yard that doesn't go grass because of our stupid giant tree that i want to cut down. Probably going to just try to pay someone to come do it.

Put a pool in last year so this years project is a natural visual screen that will be effective enough that it might be eligible for windbreak of the year through the KSU tree program thing.

I think that the drought is going to kill off the grass that we overseeded last fall. I'm feeling very pessimistic about it all.

Ty for the bump, that alleged stump was a hell of a ride

Fenced off a small section of my yard with no/little grass to keep the mutts out and put down some grass seed a little over a week ago. After watering it diligently I'm finally getting some little sprouts coming up.

I did this last year for a different spot and about 60% of the area survived over winter. I've come to the realization that my backyard grass will never be pristine as long as I have 2 mutts running around out there all day....just trying to cut down on the mud.

Man I'm feeling this. The old mutt hated mud and gracefully ran around the yard without tearing up the grass. I barely had to ever wipe her paws of . New mutt is a hard runner and makes a lot of foot plant type cuts. Absolutely devastating to the grass and then when she comes inside she has huge mud cakes between her toes. She's also very sensitive to having her feet held so cleaning her up is a challenging option but I have taught her to pounce on the welcome mat to knock some of it off.

Do you have a spigot out back? Maybe just power wash her feet (nozzle, not actual power washer) first?

Maybe!

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

i am amending this response because it's actually really fun to use a grinder on the mower blade, takes like 30 seconds, and it does seem to make a difference, especially if you are ever plowing through some thick stuff because you waited too long to mow

Man, it's that time of year again. I've spent about 12 hours over the last couple of weekends clearing the yard from gumballs and stubborn leaves that made it through the winter.

On sunday we went to Family Tree and bought a couple of hydrangeas and a yew (to replace the ones that unfortunately perished last year).

I crave being outside and improving my small piece of property. It's my favorite thing to do currently.

i’ve been doing the same thing with my weekends- I finally got all of the straggler leaves out of the beds. my neighbors on each side kinda suck at this stuff so I just went onto their property and got the leaves I needed to get gone from there too.

last week I cut down all off the long grass plant things (4 of them). I guess they regrow every year but you need to trim them to little stubs.

tomorrow i’m getting my new EarthWay 2600A spreader delivered which i’ll use this weekend to put down the scotts max crabgrass preventer that’s on sale for $15 off right now at costco. pretty hyped about this spreader tbh.

last october I planted 100 tulip bulbs and 50 hyacinth bulbs and i’m really excited to be celebrating the fruits of that labor right now as those bitches are popping up everywhere.

yet to be seen- the hydrangeas I planted last fall. it’s not been seen since november. fingers rough ridin' crossed.
