AHartzell Lawn 2018

Decided to go ahead and get started this year. Temps have been 40-65 (with a few temps lower).
- Ordered Barricade (should be here next week).
- Ordered new bedknife, screws, tools, and anti-seize paste
Scalped yesterday. Arbritrarilly picked 0.400" (even though the lowest scalp last season was 0.500" and I maintained at 0.750-0.875").
Think I may have been too aggressive. 90% of the yard is VERY close to dirt with some spots of bare dirt (oops).
Hopefully it will start to green up soon and I can pick up irrigation, PGR, surfactant, etc when appropriate.

I put down some barricade 3/15 and it's been greening up.
Based on how it looked Thursday (3/22) vs today (3/24) id say it's about to explode 😳

Oh yes...and I can feel eyes watching me as they drive byWare said:
And yes a sanding is in order

After paying someone else to mow the back yard and doing ZERO weed control (I know I'm bad), I've decided I'm going to take over. It's not anywhere near in the condition where I'd even take my GM back there so I broke down and bought a Honda.
This model's lowest setting is 0.75" - I tried that setting to scalp and hit dirt a lot (not level at all and lots of holes, etc.) so I had to go up one notch (~1.125")

Mowed the front lawn at 0.625" again today. Still waiting for it to green up more before I start with the nitrogen (it's probably 70-80% now).
I took the GM into the backyard hoping it was just damp enough to try and roll/flatten. Turns out it wasn't really that damp....and somehow the darn reel got engaged and before I knew it, the backyard which was previously at 1.125" via new Honda rotary was scalped at 0.625" with the GM..."oops"

Pulled a few weeds out of the front lawn. These bare spots are annoying me - hopefully the fill in quickly.
When you pull some grass out of the ground in those spots do the roots and rhizomes appear dark or rotted? If so, it could be spring dead spot.ahartzell said:Pulled a few weeds out of the front lawn. These bare spots are annoying me - hopefully the fill in quickly.
Hmmm I'll have to check. How do I fix that? :lol:Ware said:When you pull some grass out of the ground in those spots do the roots and rhizomes appear dark or rotted?
