I have cut it by hand a few times over the years, usually in the fall when we reseeded it. The back shown here takes about 3 hours by hand. Try to not do that these days, the knees complain a bit.

Yeah, that would be hell in the Spring when the lawn is growing at a high rate and needs to be done twice a week practically. Would be good exercise though if you have the time and don't have allergies... 64F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's free, except for the materials, sweat, and stiffandsoreness. We've put a lot of topsoil down back there over the years, mostly in 2016 and 2018, I've gotten good at raking dirt. We've had problems with fungus and have wound up reseeding portions of it just about every year. So this year I decided to go organic and got a boatload of cornmeal (3500 lbs so far) which supposedly helps the bacteria in the dirt that like to eat certain types of fungus. We shall see!

Albedoman Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 enjoy your brief pollen washing showers the next two days if you are lucky to get them. The yards should start turning more yellow as the short term drought takes hold. You will hear farmers complaining and it will make the media in the next week as crop planting is being delayed big time. I have never seen it this dry and cool at the same time for this late in May. The humidities should be in the 40-50% not 25-30%. The soil moisture is literally being ripped out in the next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually going to skip mowing my lawn this week as it has hardly grown over the last 7 days. It is a little more humid today, but you're right, it's been exceptionally dry lately.

CoolHandMike Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 It's actually kinda sorta raining here now. Juuust enough to make you go "hmm, I should probably pack up for the day and put all the lawn tools away" only to slow down to a barely noticeable drizzle once you do. Eh, I'll finish planting my shrubs tomorrow evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
