Well I nuked my front yard in late September and started the renovation process. Results have been pretty good so far.


This pic is from Oct 5th
I don't have an irrigation system so rigged up one using Hunter Pro and MP rotors. They've worked pretty good. I saw a youtube video of a guy using this setup and I figured I'd give it a try.




These pics were taken this past weekend. We are getting some pretty heavy rain today and tomorrow. Hopefully nothing washes out.

I seeded early October last year. Everything looked great until August. I wasn't watering enough and the yard basically died off on me. My fault entirely. So I am basically starting over again this year. I spent about 4 hours out there last night clearing off all the dead grass and raking up all the limbs and debris from the storm. I plan on aerating and overseeding this year with SS1000 Tall Fescue Blend I bought from Seedsuperstore.com. I am going to put it down within the next two weeks or so.

Good luck with yours!

Cheers

Thanks for the information! I was scared the first of october would be to late, but it seems like you had good luck. I have tomorrow off, and may try to get everything down tomorrow, but am always nervous we may have a hot day, and dont want things to be scorched off.....our nights are getting cooler, so I may pull the trigger and just do it. Still nervous about it though!

FINGERS CROSSED and prayers from here on out.

Five days and we have germination! I am a little surprised honestly...Only coming up in shady areas right now, hope it comes up everywhere else! Nonetheless, its progress.
