You're diong fine, the longer blade helps shade the soil.

Thanks, Mopar...you're always there! :-)
I'm losing the fight against drought, but my little Travelling
Sprinkler is at least helping. I'm getting a quote for irrigation for
next Spring. Can't wait.

Here's another question:
If I want to overseed in the Fall, how much will I expect to spend?

I have about 50,000 sq ft of lawn.

How much seed is that?
Do I buy "namebrand" seed, or buy it through local channels
(nurseries, landscapers, etc.)?

Thanks!

Well, rule of thumb is 4 to 7 lbs per 1000 sg ft, so lets go
with 5 as a round number (250 lbs).

I buy most of my seed from LESCO, if there's not one close to
you, go with a landscape supply outlet. Be sure to check the
germination test date and weed content located on the tag.

Weather sure is strange, here in northern Ohio we've had
a really wet spring. I haven't even used my irrigation
system yet..

Good luck.
