what state?

by **Slaughter2** » Sun Oct 08, 2006 10:20 pm

shit that area is about 1,000 sq ft bro.....but start seeding now, and cover with peat moss, to keep it away from the birds and keep the water in, looks to me the area is starting to recover, looks like old chinch bug damage, make sure you every year about may or june put down a surface insect control, but looking good, 2 10 lbs of Penn State Premium Blend seed should do it, just over seed like your feeding chickens, or if you have a lesco spreading put it between a and b

oppps ....just read bottom of pic, just make sure that you water that area heavy 2 inches of water before you lay it, and also water 1 inch of water in all areas (measure with a tuna can)

PS your Barberry bushes have aphids, your Arberta Spruce has spider mites, and your Junipers have Mites as well

Shit might as well treat those as well

Your obsession with your lawn disturbs me.

A nice lawn is a thing of beauty. Wait till you hit your 30's Parrot, you'll start to become envious of things you never thought much of before: lawns, riding lawnmowers, grills etc.
It's genetic.

It's not gonna happen. The only plants I can see the point in are ones you can eat. To be honest a plot that big I probably fill it with carrots or something

mmmm green grass, cant wait, my front yard has been crap for so long and I finally did something about it. Plus saving about $500 doing it myself. Gonna be very fulfilling next year looking at that beeeeeeeeeutiful lawn.

by **Wesley** » Mon Oct 09, 2006 12:31 pm

your saving $500 how much is the sod?

by **gowhitesox99** » Mon Oct 09, 2006 12:49 pm

a company quoted $1100 to do the whole front, tiller w/ trailer was $100, sod is about $400-450

Yeah me too, I used to pick on my dad about how he was obsessed with our yard, now I'm getting that way about mine.... Depressing really....

Put a webcam on it so we can watch your grass grow.

Maybe someone will do that for drying paint too?

I really feel like I made it now, about 4 weeks ago, started to let a landscape company start mowing my lawn ahhhhhhh, no more tree and shrub prunings, no more cutting, and finally no more weed wacking, sold all my lawn stuff, but I still get it treated, not too expensive either, my landscape co cuts my lawn which is about 11,000 sq ft every other week for 60.00 bucks, good price considering it used to take for an hour to cut and hour to weed eat, he does it wit ha crew in 30 minutes, aaaaaahhhhhh the luxury
