Lawn Care

[Cryptic]

I cheaped out last year and didn't spend anything on the lawn. Last week I pulled 3 wheelbarrows full of dandelions I hand plucked from the ground and I'm only half way done. Lesson learned. You really need to keep up with it.

I know Ace Hardware rents gas powered thatchers. I might give that a shot and try over seeding. My lawn is huge. It takes 2.5 big bags to cover it well. It gets expensive quick. I used Stein's weed and feed instead of Scott's this year. It definitely greened up the lawn. It was $36/bag I think for the 15,000 sq ft bags.

Jay, where do you buy your seed at what's a good price?

And a friendly PSA... even though Milorganite is mostly "poop", if you stop your spreader in one spot because you were momentarily distracted, it will kill the patch of grass below it, regardless of your attempts to spread that spilled fertilizer around.

Don't ask me how I know...
