Will throw some more seed down in April. The slope is tough and there is some erosion you can't see and that will likely require a bit of fill/seed. I almost gave up on the lower section as it was all weeds and zero grass, but I gave it one more shot. Persistence pays off and I hope I can keep it looking nice going forward. I'd like to say the war with the lawn is finally over, but it's too soon to say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowderBeard Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Thinking it might be a good idea to throw some grub treatment down. Have a had an opossum in the yard eating the past three nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a had an opossum in the yard eating the past three nights. Use nematodes if you haven't treated yet. Grub Ex isn't always effective, not to mention you risk killing off a Possum, which eat tons of ticks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Very few acorns up here too. Maybe the gypsies down south are forcing the oaks to produce more nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoth Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Leaf cleanup is more or less complete. I'll run the mower over the lawn one more time next weekend until the gas runs out, then it's time to wait for snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a wheelbarrow full of Acorns that I wanted to use with my slingshot and peck them off his head. It would've been a long shot but I bet I could have gotten a few off his noggin. LOL. We had our 2 year old granddaughter over last night and of course it woke her up. Point being cmon people have a little sense of courtesy. I wait till 9a before firing up lawn mower or leaf blower. Only time I did before 9 once was because its was going to be 98F day of mow and we were going on vacation next day. Felt bad firing up lawn mower at 8a.

mreaves Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I'm a late afternoon guy myself. Early mornings often mean the grass is still wet. Late afternoon means the yard is shaded and it's cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's typically dead calm early AM and makes for quick work doing leaves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
