The most recent drama on our neighborhood page was a local school using “ROUND UP” along their fence line and how all the neighborhood dogs were going to get cancer.

This is why sometimes its just easier to stick your head in the sand or just ignore crap like this.

I honestly had to make a plan and wait just to spray my weed and crabgrass killer more so for my kid's sake rather than someone elses dog. Fun fact, dont want me to spray stuff on MY grass, you can come pick all the weeds and crabgrass. I wont stop you.

I’m going to lay down some fall weed and feed type stuff maybe this weekend pending weather/hangover

thinking a lawn service is going to handle things starting in the spring though. I’ve prob got a couple years worth of work to get rid of the amount of dandelion in my lawn.

I actually noticed a couple small white mushrooms in the area where there were bushes in the front while I was working in the mechanical room. Wasnt sure what I should do with them. I dont mow there since there are wood chips and mulch in the area.
Do nothing. In a few days they will die and add nutrients to the soil. Or pick them if you don’t like how they look. Or feed them to neighborhood dogs

Grampa Weeder arrived today and….

It is legit and sturdy.

Removes a dandelion with ease, including the root.

I do think it doesn’t hurt to give the hole left in the ground a shot of Round Up in case a few roots are left behind, but solid product for the price.

Dave all that fertilizer and re seeding u did with all that water you used how do u have weeds? I haven’t seen a weed in a few weeks.

I’m on round 3 I think of putting down .5-.75 pounds of N per 1000 every two weeks. Front yard is looking great which leads me to believe whatever I have up there just has no heat or drought tolerance. Looks good in spring and fall and goes to absolute shit every summer. Backyard project is filling in painfully slow. My neighbor used the same shade mix seed and said his looked like shit the first year but came in strong the second. I’ve realized growing fine fescue is pretty underwhelming, but my options are limited with the amount of shade I have back there.
