Bagged always looks best!

Haha jokes on you, I haven’t had to mow in months.

I'm about to head out to mow in a few, I need to rake up the laid over grass and bag it. I'll have probably 2 of the 90gal trash cans worth of clippings to dump in the compost pile.

Just getting the grass lookin fresh. our well pump has been flaky, so it wasn't lookin very good early on this season.

We've been struggling to get the sprinklers set so there aren't brown spots and our well pump keeps eating itself. Then there are moles... I mowed 2 days before these pics, the grass is so dense I have to mow every 3-4 days, otherwise the clippings are to great and only lay on the top of the lawn. https://photos.app.goo.gl/2nFN1kQbhWbBsqDS9

I've had good luck spot spraying with Image. Crabgrass might take a few applications but it killed the poa annua and other broadleaf stuff quick. Seems like the only thing than kills Bermuda is roundup and shade.

Crab grass I had overtook a nice size section of the yard. No matter how many times I sprayed. It kept spreading everything I mow. So, one year I decided to spray and cover it with leaves as it was getting close to springs ( I wait till bout February to pick up leaves). Than I sprayed again. I don't remember maybe after 2 weeks I raked the leaves and since then the crab grass has not grown back.
I was more worried about it growing into the neighbors yard. Even though I don't live there( across thr street now) I still don't see crab grass.

For poa?

Especially for that. We do need warmer temps for it to really work.

Msma is the only answer

What are you guys using to treat weeds in the spring after they germinated? Poa annua in Bermuda

Awesome job on that old timey Cooper Lawnmower, it came out great.

I need to rent a spray boom to take care of my weeds but the time has passed when I should have done it. Now I have fields of creeping Charlie. >

I don't mind mowing, I actually kinda like it. I do however hate edging/weed-eating. My lawn also really needs to be leveled but I doubt I'll get around to it. I'm still using Tru-Green for the weeds and fertilizer so I don't expect to have a weed issue.

That Reel mower looks awesome man, nice job!
