I tried to balance this out with the gummy bears, but no help, just higher blood sugar count..

I've got some fresh dirt, seed, and a layer of straw on a bare patch in the yard. What I want to get is straw that doesn't come on a roll. The one from Home Depot comes on a roll and it's a pain to cut to size.

I think I have to go to a Farm/Fleet to get the straw I can lay out by hand. The straw mat worked great last year. I had new/full grass in a little over a month.

I will be patching this several spots this weekend...

What sucks is when you have a bunch of shitty spots as opposed to a huge patch. I have a bunch of small ones, but it's a pain in the ass to cut around them when doing the grass. I'd rather tear up a large area and redo the whole thing.

That’s what I’m doing, several trucks of dirt and Harley rake the whole yard smooth, then seed the whole yard, my yard has sever low spots a few high spots, it’s lower than all the houses on my street so all the water comes to me

I’m about to spend several thousands of dollars to grade my yard, seed it, tile all my gutters and put up a garage, id much rather take that money and buy a new boat

I’m in the middle of this project right now. Doing close to 200’ of French drain from the back to the front of my house, running pipes for downspouts, putting culvert pipe in my ditch and filling it over with dirt, and adding a gavel patio that the French drain runs through to collect water. Huge job, major pita, but will be worth it once completed.

One of the best things I learned over the years is to either run them dry, or run premium in them. The pusher briggs I had at the old house would fire after a few pulls after sitting all winter.
