Lawn Care

[star seed 7]

I still need to do my last run. Waited until Nov last year iirc

Never did do this.

Took the plunge yesterday finally and paid some dude to mow my lawn this year. Feels great.

recently got a doggo and she did a number on my yard this winter with pee spots. I'm currently trying out some Scott EZ Seed and hoping that helps will them back in.
I've recently been hosing down the grass every time she pees and hopefully that will help.

Update: hosing down the grass worked pretty well.  However she did more damage this winter. Will need to fill those in again.

Thinking of putting down some pre-emergent this weekend for the rest of the lawn. Pretty excited.

In case you aren't aware, it's tough but you have to keep that pre-emergent off your starter stuff.

My yard is like WWI.  Lots of energy and money expended, lots of killing, lots of chemical warfare, desperate attacks, stubbornness, fear.  But nothing ever changes.  The trenches don't move.  The yard is the same.  War is hell.

yup!  I probably should have worded it differently. What time frame should i start seeding? I think last year I started some too late and it was dried out by summer.

This was beautiful, thank you for this 33.

My backyard hates me for getting a nutjob GSP like Milo who literally sprints circles around the garden and back/forth between fences slamming on the brakes each time. I fenced off the worst part of the yard and put down some EZ Seed a couple of days ago. If that works I'll just move to another part of the yard in a couple months until eventually I have to go back to where I first started.

Purchased a new mower.  The yard isn't quite big enough for a rider, but the Timemaster 30 should cut my mow time by 40%.

My dog loves to kill grass with pee

WildcatNkilt, that new mower looks awesome.

why do people like grass so much

Yeah agree.  The tide did turn in my yard when I got a land ship (Cub Cadet).

Going back to paying someone to fertilize and further poison the water supply this year. I've found that it doesn't really help much as compared to when I half ass it, but at least I can yell at someone for when the weeds show up this year.

Next fall. It's hard af to start grass seed after applying a pre-emergent in the spring. Takes about 8 weeks to hit a growing window. By then, it can be too hot for good germination in your climate.

I really wish we didn’t have a lawn. But based on the houses I’ve seen without lawns I’m increasingly convinced it’s a necessary evil.

houses should be closer together

Just went and got the mower out of the shed. Only took like 5 minutes to start :Thumbs: That's like a new record. Winterizing actually worked this time. The cheapo i bought from Menards 8 years ago for like $150 keeps on ticking.

Checked out the sprinkler system again today. Bad news...gotta small leak at the anti siphon valve. Hopefully the $30 repair kit does the trick.

As I start to do one thing to improve my house/yard the next thing just bugs me more.  I have raked a couple areas and spread some scotts ez seed and am going to water the crap out of it, but I don't have a ton of hope, more of an experiment.  May need to just re-sod a couple areas???

Also, I got a solo stove and want to put some rock around it where there is a dead spot and the guy asked me for measurements and because I mentioned the hole from where the slide landing was he asked me for measurements and mentioned pitch and I was like "I'll measure it and get back to you" and now am just going to respond: "actually you will need to take a look, I have no clue."

Those solo stoves look awesome.

I wasn’t going to build a more permanent structure and it is pretty cool. I used natural firestarter and it did smoke a bit but the smoke was definitely way less than a normal camp fire.

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.

my re-seeding of the front yard piss spots worked great. Won't even be able to tell in a few more weeks.
I decided to try the backyard a few weeks later. It was going great until the hail storm last night. Will have to see how the little grass seedlings bounce back.

Ive had the best luck seeding in the fall. And recently discovered covering it with Peat Moss makes all the difference. I have had good luck with seeding first thing in the spring. There is just a small window to plant before it gets too hot.
If i had a huge area, i would re-sod. Good luck!

I think my friend has the $300 one
