2018 Lawn Thread!

[soap]

So I bought this house back in March and the lawn was in pretty bad shape, but with fertilizer, a LOT of water, pulling weeds like a psycho meth head daily, and some MSMA for the back yard I think it came our pretty good.. next year should be great hopefully!

Still some areas that need work but I’m pretty happy

Almost BBQ Gun worthy.

My yard was one of the only 2-3 greenish ones on my block till the beginning of August when we got all the rain. I was diligent all summer and watered and tried hard to keep it nice, the rest of my street was brown. I went out of town for a week and when I came back my WHOLE street had green yards due to the rain... Mine looks awesome now, but not as glaringly different from my lazy neighbors which kinda irks me but whatever, at least it all looks good now.

Haha, I was really glad we got all of that rain because a couple of my neighbors had all but given up on their yards. But for the most part our neighbors at least keep their yards borderline.. Now if I could get more of them to actually edge when they mow!! I never understood people who will keep it mowed but let it grow all over the curb onto the street. Hell, I'd almost rather that if they were going to do just one, that they'd edge rather than mow! lol

My yard has been looking pretty dang good this year, though I would love it if it were just a little thicker (it's getting there). I have St. Augustine, no sprinkler system, and a lot of trees, so it can be a challenge. That said, all I do most years is water and mow.. I've fertilized it once or twice in the last 10 years, and I do rake it really well each spring (I mulch my clippings most of time). Otherwise, I water it M/W/F for 20 minutes and Sat morning for 10 min (I usually mow Saturdays and it keeps the dust down).

I do water very early (before sunrise), which seems to work best for me. The yard faces East and with all of the trees, really only gets good sun in the mornings.

This was from late May.. Looks a little better / thicker now but I don't have a recent picture.

That is one hell of a turn around in that time frame!

I will have a Husqvarna 54 inch zero turn for sale this week too. Its has 210 hours on it. Well cared for, used only at my houses. PM if interested in that, probably 1600, but I haven't priced shopped yet

[Stephen]

That’s a damn good deal!

I bought one earlier this year and did my yard and gave all my friends a mason jar with 5-6 ounces in it so they would have plenty for the season.. that shit is magical!
