My lawn looks better than it ever has.
Mitch
I was glad to see your post. Thought I had subscribed to the wrong newsgroup. You said you mow your yard 3"-4" . Can you tell me how you know the height? Is the adjustment by the wheels set for 1", 2", 3" etc? I have been setting mine on the 2nd or 3rd notch, would that make it cut 2 or 3 inches? I hope my question is not confusing. Thanks, Donna J. wrote in message ... A couple of years ago I posted here with pictures of a horrible lawn. It now looks great, and I'm sure it will get better. The advice I got here that helped was: 1. Don't mow it so short. 2. Mulch, don't bag 3. Give it more feedings throughout the season, instead of just a springtime feeding. 4. Long, deep waterings instead of daily shallow waterings (I bought one of those little traveling sprinklers). I mow it now at about 3"-4" (we've had alot of rain, so I couldn't mow as often as I liked), and I edge the driveway and sidewalk. I also got lucky: a guy from my church owns a landscape/lawn care business. He's doing each of my fertilizer treatments for $85. I have 2 acres, so I paid more than that just to buy the fertilizer myself. Anyway, I know alot of people come here with "My lawn sucks...what can I do" questions. So I wanted to give them some hope. :-) After only two seasons after educating myself a little bit about lawns, the change is incredible. It will be better next year, because I plan to overseed the backyard this fall. Thanks, everyone! |
