Is it to late to start giving a shit about the grass/weeds in the backyard? I don’t have a plan yet besides start watering in the evening and see what pops up.

Looking great man!

Did you make those shutters?

Yessir. Simple 1x4 or 1x6 cedar. No special tools needed. Built with a mounting clete/spacer on the back. Installed with tapcons. Just be sure to prime the back side. I used exterior primer so they don't rot from thr back.

The city finally got sod laid, last friday, right before daytime temps spiked to 107 degrees. I almost lost it.

If any of you remember what I started with 5 years ago, this is a HUGE difference.

I'll get some backyard pics after it is cut

I figure five-six days you would notice something. It’s down so we will see.

I just looked back and saw when you put it down.. it’s only been a few days and it’s slow release.. give it another week and look at it again..

This was this morning and I put some down recently.. this yard was a complete disaster in April and is coming around well.

After three waterings and some rain...the shit smell is still there and has done exactly jack shit for the yard. I’ll stick with my tried and true lesco products.

I’ve had good luck with it.. makes my yard a little darker and healthier looking.. not like regular fertilizer where I’m mowing every 3-4 days

[Mysticcobrakilla]

I’m pretty confident you’ll like it.. just makes everything a little darker.. smell will go away in a couple days after a good watering..

Just put some of this down today. Good god this SHIT stinks!

Figured I’d give it a shot since my yard is missing some sort of nutrient. Need to get a soil sample test done.

I’ve found that I love milorganite! It makes the yard dark and healthy without the insane growth! When I do want fast top growth, I’ve been using miracle gro lawn food and that shit is great!

How much are you guys watering with these hot temps?

I just stopped watering. Feels like fighting a losing battle in these temps...

I was mowing once every three days @ 3/4 height. Today was my first mow in a week and I brought the deck down to just below 1/2

I've convinced myself that if I don't water it as much then I won't have to cut it as much so kind of a win-win

Did you happen to do before/after photos? I haven't had a chance to use the stuff.

No, but it got a noticeably darker green
