2023 Lawn Thread

Maybe this one will get some traction.

My front yard is mess of about 75% blue stem. I plan roundup, scalp as low as possible, hopefully do a little sand leveling and re-seed with common Bermuda.

My back yard isn't in bad shape. Need to keep with fertilizer schedule and get the Bermuda to thicken up some more on the far side. The big issue is it needs to be leveled bad. Not really looking forward to that.

Got pre emergent down about 2 weeks ago. Excited to actually have a gas reel this year vs the manual. '65 Cooper Klipper. Starting on a front roller for it this weekend.

August of last year

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!

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

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. >

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

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.

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