  1. looks good man, you know what kind of grass it is?

     

    My front yard is only about 320 sq feet or so (20x16), dont have any good pics yet of the lawn since its been a work in progress for the last 2 years that I lived here. Been overseeding every year, and its starting to push out the cheaper grass, and the few bare spots I've gotten from poa (annual bluegrass), which I have been pulling, are starting to finally slowly fill in.

     

    As far as weeds go, I pull all of them by hand, hell I pick up my leaves by hand as well. How is your soil? Compacted? Clayish? That aerify plus stuff I bought, I put it on this morning, and the soil is dry and looks completely different now. It used to have a dry clay look to it in my bare spots with a crack or two that I'd see. Now that its drying out, it definitely doesnt look like that anymore, has more of a soil texture to it. Supposed to be really good stuff

     

    Wish my yard was a bit bigger, so every little imperfection wasnt noticed, but its nice that I dont have to spend a lot of money, to make it look good. Hell, a 5000 sq foot bag lasts me a couple years.

     

    If you go into the forums, under lawn, and look in the scotts best kbg cultivar, there is a picture posted of what my lawn will eventually look like

    the soil is clayish , i put 18/24 /12 fertilizer and 250 lbs of pelitized lime per 1/2 acre the grass is a custom tri blend of turf type hi performance fescue

    it looks perfect year round , those pics are in dead winter .

  2. been spending a lot of time on www.scotts.com lately.

     

    Been working on my grass being top of the line the last few years, and have learned a lot from some really smart individuals on the site. Gonna be doing a complete renovation on my front yard after they come through and redo the sidewalks, and road. Thought I had a decent lawn until I saw some of the lawns on the site (old site had a lot, they just upgraded, so its just getting up and going again). Gonna be installing a sprinkler system, laying my walkway, and getting some really good kentucky blue grass seed from a turf company.

     

    I've always been in want for a perfect lawn, and it was always good, and better than anyone on the block, but it just wasnt up to my spec, and now I know how to get there with soil preparation, exact timing for putting down fertilizers and pre emergents, weed identification, best way with dealing with weedy grasses and other weeds.

     

    Just put down a product called aerify plus today from www.natureslawn.com It's a pretty cool product, and we'll see just how well it works over this year. Just kinda funny that I'm doing this work to the grass I have (scotts pure premium sun and shade), and no matter what I do, I'm never going to be happy with it now, because of the type of grass seed it is. It's a good seed, just not THE seed.

    im a lawn freak , i pick out weeds by hand lol
