Water the bejeezes out of the grass and it will come back fine. Don’t friggin scalp it again, they are less able to handle tough times like drough if you do that. Follow Scotts fertilizer recommendations. Anything other than Scott’s is a waste of money. Weedeaters? they are pretty much all the same, get a cheap one, it hardly matters. You are more likely to have someone run it over than have it die on you.
I moved out of a neighborhood like this with a great sense of relief.
It's not a child, not a moral duty. Enjoy your life and your precious time off.
I am waiting for some blonde yardwork comment soon!!!
I see your friend arrived right after you.
Yeah, I know what you mean. My weedeater I have now is a $99 Walmart and it died only because I forgot to mix in the 2cycle.
I want one!!!!
Unless you scalped it to the ground and damaged the runners, it should grow out ok. Might take a while, and might require more frequent water than usual.
I’ve always heard—and it’s what works in our yard— that you should mow on the middle blade-height setting. Come fall, when you’re doing the last mow of the season, you raise it one notch so that the grass is a little taller over winter to protect its roots from freeze.
[Warning: I’m no expert. I just know what works for me.]
He is a good sport about it all, isn’t he?
lol
The way I enjoy my time off is with a hobby. This is turning into a hobby.
And I ain’t paying no landscaper. I don’t pay nobody for nothing I can do myself.
I just need to learn so it will be yet one more thing that I am an expert at.
Chicks dig me, what can I say. She is infatuated with me. She lives to follow me online.
Usually you can beat the piston free when you do that. Probably just as well to go with the $40 POS from Home Depot, especially if you want to do that to it again. .
A Harley Davidson lawnmower. I KNEW they were related somehow.
Is that a 15horsepower on there? Yep thats about right.
Get a husband and a cold six pack of beer. Works for me.
$99 HomeDepot
I’ve never had any luck with anything made by ryobi.
Spend the extra money and get an ECHO weedeater (about $200) at HD. Get the one with the straight shaft (bent shaft wears out inside) and the non-feeding head (where you cut the line to fit) (might be extra $20 on the straight shaft)
I saw that most of the commercial lawn companies use them before we got one. They’re tough and rebuildable.
I do believe thats a self-propelled with a 5HP Briggs&Stratton. Nice.
34D. Nice.
