Yes, I criss-cross.

I mowed yesterday and finished just as the sky opened up. Today I had to re-mow again. And I cross-cut it vs. yesterday.

My brother in law has this problem. Basically just gotta water it from what I’ve read. Don’t know how to fix what’s damaged though.

I think you’re right.

On a similar note, any recommendations on fertilizer with dogs?

Love it also but for $260 I’ll manually reel mine in.

4 hours to do the lawn today. I haven’t been able to cut for about 9 days. Maxed out the deck height and quick mowed it all, dropped it down and went over it a second time.

You concerned about toxicity? Could just do milorganite as it’s natural. Not a lot of nitrogen in it, and you may not need the phosphorous but it won’t harm the dogs.

I mowed Saturday. I mowed again Sunday. Last night (Tuesday night), I could've mowed again as it grew that much. But it was too late.

I’m out

 

[DanJ]

Haven’t been able to get ahold of the aeration people over the last 2 days and got antsy to get some seed down on a couple areas that washed out/didn’t establish last fall. Heavy on the seed, starter fertilizer, and topped with this Pennington slope master soil tackifier mulch (blue stuff). My neighbor did a whole back yard leveling and reseeding last weekend like I did last fall so I’m not trying to get stunted on .

 

[Pewter-Camaro]

My new problem area.. I roughed it up a bit after this picture and seeded it with grass seed and a bit of clover because yeah clover fills in the shitty lawn nice. Gotta keep it watered and it should fill in.

How did you rough it up?

 

[Pewter-Camaro]

Used a hand tiller and a garden weasel.

 

[DanJ]

Garden weasel is real good for that. Rough it up, throw some seed down, run it over it again to put the seed down in the soil, done.

 

[Fish]

So I have this spot here that needs to be redone badly.

So I scalped the lawn and sprayed some weed and crabgrass killer. Then tried to use a hand aerator and that’s a hard no. ??

Going to return the one I bought and see if I can borrow one from somewhere or just spread the stuff I have and pray

 

[DanJ]

Don’t necessarily have to aerate to seed. Just get a garden weasel or even a stiff rake and rough up the soil, put seed down, and go over it lightly again to get some seed to soil contact. Covering with some peat moss or similar will help keep it moist and the birds from eating it all.
