Yard Care

1. Yard mowed and trimmed
2. Yard aerated
3. Yard over seeded
4. Swim class tonight, we’re working on being okay long term with the teacher instead of dad

Daddy daughter day. Was a great Thursday

Check this out.

What about when it runs over sticks or uneven ground or bare spots or dog shit…

Should I throw some fertilizer on my yard before this snow storm?

Only if it is glyphosate… it will give you a unique color this spring

Pushing things to grow with fertilizer when they're supposed to be going dormant is usually a bad idea.

😄 hopefully he doesn't want it to grow now? Maybe when the snow melts.

I mean your last app is going to help with root growth but also be part of that first feeding in the spring. Generally I try to hit it as late as I can, but while I’m still mowing…

Now is a no go unless global warming picks up…

Also if anybody who is reading this who doesn’t know, don’t do this. It will kill off your lawn

Depends on how mature your lawn is. There's a point of diminishing returns with fertilizer (and it's a lot lower than fertilizer manufacturers would like you to believe). Roots only grow so much, they don't just keep going until they reach the center of the earth.

Ya I do it more for that first feeding in the spring...

Get the backpack. It’s well worth it and it sprays everything just fine. I asked because if you did have a backpack, I would recommend spraying your prodiamine over granular. Much better coverage; especially along concrete where people have the most problems.

what do you have for backpack?

Thinking about going with Craftsman's sprayer and get the battery for my tools as well.

Any of you guys ever deal with moss? I have poor drainage in one part of my yard but it spread throughout most of my front yard by the end of the season. @huskermack

Yeah fo sho.
A few years ago I got some ferrous sulfate, and it worked pretty well.
I’ll be darned if it hasn’t taken over my yard again due to my total and complete laziness.

I have a Strom. If I had to buy one now, I would get a Flowzone. Whatever you get, I would test spray water with it several times to understand how much water you need for the square feet you are spraying. Different nozzles will change that ratio.

Before you buy this or any other backpack sprayer, I would check to see how easy it is to buy a replacement pump. I’ve had to replace mine twice.

I snagged a Ryobi 4gal backpack on clearance a couple years ago for $70. Works for me...
