Shredding & blowing peat moss on lawn?

I've since found out that Toro makes shredder blowers for around $80. it's for shredding leaves for compost, not blowing peat moss on the lawn. it would not do what you wanted. it would make holes where the discharge chute is. we have a chipper/shredder & use a tarp under the discharge chute. As added material, I will point out that using peat moss to start a lawn implies that it will be kept moist. Exactly. We have a sprinkler system. Now maybe we don't even need the peat moss, and we could just turn the sprinklers on a few times a day to keep the soil moist. The problem last year was that we didnt get the new sprinkler system installed until the weather was already warm and the weeds took over this new lot. we had to battle them. Now we have about 50% grass after the battle of last year and want to get 100% grass by this year. you really should have done your seeding in the fall. grass grows better when fall seeded. as you found last year, when you spring seed you get a lot of weeds. i would seed now with a blend of something fast growing (like annual rye) & then reseed again in the fall with more perennial turfgrasses for your area. just don't expect your lawn to look great for another couple years. 8000 sq.ft. of lawn just sounds like way too much bother, but that's me... and i have cute llama lawnmowers. lee -- war is peace freedom is slavery ignorance is strength 1984-George Orwell |

In order for her to do that, she would've had to listen to people who she calls "experts". But, in an earlier message, she said disdainful things about "experts". Maybe she should tell us what authorities she DOES trust, and how she decides who to listen to. |
