Ohhh! Here we go! Two big F'ers! Your clover has really got your balls in a knot.

@ BigFry. Please just ignore him. Your grass is not his problem or issue. The fact that it bothers him so much is pathetic. You can tell by his posts that its like fighting with your wife. Non winnable, dude does this for fun. Dont feed it. Check his last post out. Its actually your clover that has his vag all sandy lol!!! your just growing grass, he's the one taking offence to it.

 

99% of all people use fert and pesticides and in this thread he's basically called anyone who uses it an idiot! Thats a lot of people he's talking to.

 

Just grow your grass and ignore this idiot. He's talking to himself and i'll bet he's pretty impressed lol!!!

[BigFoamy]

****ing pathetic.

[BigFoamy]

thats intense, i don't think i would get that extreme to washing the mower every time i mow the front or back yard! I think if it was at that point i may just resod the whole yard.

 

would u like some 2,4-D to get it under control. i heard its gonna rain today, u should spray it before it rains.

I have to. The quack grass in my backyard is rampant. I dont want it in my front yard, so I try hard.

 

Re sodding doesnt get rid of quack grass unless you go down and strip like 4' of top soil just to get it all out. As previously stated, its a battle you wont win. Round Up everything, wait for it to die, strip it and come in with fresh sod this fall or next spring. That would be ideal but, within a few months you'll start to see the quack grass again. you just can't stop it. Its like Poa Annua on a golf course, you just cannot stop it. Try your hardest just to keep it out.

 

If i could start my from scratch again I would. Theres no money left, thats a problem.

 

My neighbours dont love their yards so my yards suffers for it.

 

2-4-d doesnt kill quack grass. its the same ingredient thats in Killex. Round Up kills quack grass but also everything else it touches. Round up is my favourite because there is no question, it kills everything

On topic comments please. no attacks, any more and banning will be forthcoming. I will keep this forum civil. Please respect one another.

To provide a different view point, I wait till later to go after dandelions. Dandies are critical for the survival of honey bees in the Spring before other plants start to bloom.

 

Remember that perfectly manicured lawn is the same as a desert to critters, both good and bad..

I raised a point about fishermen using chemicals that can have unintended consequences, and I'm lambasted for unleashing such an offensive and personal attack.

meanwhile, the two bigf'ers tell eachother to keep on,

Keepin on. "Don't let him get you down, girlfriend!"

I think that they do feel a bit of guilt/shame for using these chemicals and try to hide that by appearing proud about it or even using more of it. A typical juvenile move. Just like kiddie porn insults.

Do whatever you gotta do, guys.

No one asked for your point in what you thought about people using herbicides on their lawn so not really sure why you even posted because this thread did not benefit from your criticisms.

 

I don't care what u or anyone else thinks about herbicide. That is the route I chose for the level of weeds I have. I'll do whatever to my lawn as I please. you have absolutely nothing positive to help with my original posting so I don't even know why you post. Sit behind your screen as you normally do.

 

I have no guilt or shame at all. My lawn looks awesome and I'll keep using it to maintain it. Absolutely no guilt and if anyone asked for some I might help them out too. After I'm done spraying my toxic herbicide I'll go drift the bow too.

 

This thread was created to help people see what I go through and to help people in the future not for trolls to post just for the sake of posting like you.

 

Now back to the original purpose of this thread. My lawn looks awesome. I been trying to on top of cutting often and it's helping choke out the weeds as my lawn is getting thicker. But I definitely will need to be on top of the clover situation as I see already it's gonna be a hard one to control. Haven't seen as much success with anything as I have gotten off of trillion.

 

I would totally recommend it to anyone who has ran into the issues I have with their lawn. I honestly wish I had it earlier.

 

The 300 sqft of sod I laid down has established really well and is super green and growing so fast! Except for one completely dead 8 inch circle and somehow I think it may been from a deer who peed in that spot.

 

Anyone ever hear of deer urine killing grass?

U know I was walking my lawn this morning inspecting the dying weeds and I noticed a couple crab grass patches! Does this spread pretty quick? There are a couple patches about 6-8 inches in diameter. I'm almost tempted to kill it all with round up in the fall and putting down more seeds before it gets too cold. Not really sure how to mitigate that problem before it gets worse

 

It sounds like I need to attack it now while it's small or it can get out of hand??

You are aware this is a discussion forum, yes?

Sorry, I was unaware that contributors were supposed to assume what you did and did not want to hear.

I spray quack grass with round up because it kills/slows it down and if its just small patches your lawn will fill in around the dead spot

 

I spray it to keep it from getting in my yard from my neighbours yard. Back yards got a bit, thats why I clean my mower before mowing the front. Its just a step to keep it from spreading.

Your comments are for the pesticides and herbicides debate thread, there isn't one, why dont you start it up and see what happens. Just saying. W'ere just looking after our yards in this thread. Its not an ugly topic, for the most part peoples yards bring them joy and happiness. Whatever you do in your yard is fine, it certainly isn't my business.

 

I understand your comments. I will assume most adults know about herbicides and pesticides. I just dont think every thread on this site needs to end up in a pissing match.

 

Peace

so had a couple neighbors comment how nice my lawn is looking! i agree! kicked in the nads when i got my utility bill almost double what i normally pay. should probably only water once every other day now lol, f it , price u gotta pay for having the nicest lawn on the block soon!

[alan2]

Not even caring how my lawn looks has given me great peace of mind and freed up a lot more time.

Definitely dont over water. The roots will stay shallow if its always wet. You want the plant to go down to find water, strengthens your lawn and will aid in it thickening as well. Your lawn is new, you want good strong root development.

Happy Father's Day lawn enthusiasts!

 

Spent the day running errands but got to do some yard work.

 

Trimmed the edges of the perimeter hedge.

 

Another mow and I put down some more fertilizer. Seems like I'm fertilizing once a month

 

Lawn is coming along just needing it to thicken up.

 

How often do you guys spread fertilizer?

 

Here are some pics from today

 

You can see the trillion at work. I love that *hit
