Really? Why not so often? With so little 'top soil', that construction soil underneath dries out real quick. I have tried both watering for long periods but infrequently, and the opposite, which of course is watering frequently but not deeply - didn't notice much difference either way. After...

Could have been, 4get, yes, the initial "lawn" post-flip of house. That or just cheap contractor's seed. But, I've spent 5 years adding topsoil/compost mix, Lasco chem fert one year, Milorganite all other years (4x apps of Milorganite), + top dressing from my father's own leaf/grass compost...

╪╪ We've tried watering frequently(every day, sometimes more than once) and for 5-10 min, as well as infrequently (every 3-5 days) but deeply, 30-40 min, and neither seemed to make a difference versus the other, but I'm sure helped more than not watering at all.. I also spritz it for 2-3 min...

Below lies your answer, 4get. So, I finally got out to take some photos. I dug up the worst area, in the corner of the lawn where the grass is yellow/brown possibly dead. What I found was basically a healthy 2-3" layer of organic matter that was obviously holding moisture/nutrients, with the...

Lmao....they definitely think I'm insane the way I've babied my lawn for the past few years now, but it's truly embarassing when you baby it like I have and it STILL turns yellow/brown/dies, then your 80 yr old neighbor does nothing, puts nothing down, and hers looks perfect. It's maddening...

I'm sorry I have been so busy lately I have not been able to get out and take new photos. I leave when it's dark, and come home when it's dark. When I got home today, though, I made it a point to check for "heat signatures" with my body over the yellowing areas of the lawn. I physically felt the...

No, never aerated, certainly could use it like any lawn to better get oxygen/water down to roots, but I've poked my finger down all over the place and the soil is moist 3"+ down, but yes aerating would benefit, just expensive to rent them so haven't yet. Funny thing is it really isn't...

Hello, I'm Steve from Boston. I could really, really use some input on my lawn. I have been working at the strip of grass in front of my house beside the street for several years now, and have done all I can think of to improve it. In 2015, It was originally maybe 5% grass and the rest burnt out...

Hey guys, have you ever grown grass, namely fescue or bluegrass, indoors? I tried this one winter with a Scotts mix, I think perennial ryegrass/fescue/kbg, using just natural window light, and although it started strong, it died off after about a month. I was wondering if it would be possible...

Hi, working on a Bob-Cat Ransome mower with the Kawasaki engine. I started it up for the first time this season and it ran fine, then when I went to start it the next week it wouldn't start. I made sure it had spark, good fuel, all handles were in their proper place, etc., still nothing. I...

So, this all began 2 years ago when this Craftsman mower was given to me by a friend. Worked fine, but I didn't yet have my shed build and left it out during a rainstorm. I went to start it afterwards and heard a loud pop and the carb then looked like it exploded with a big puff of white mist...

Hi, I have a Honda HRT216SDA mower that's served me well over the years. It recently cut out on me and wouldn't start. I squirted some starting fluid into the engine through the carb and it started right up, so I figured it must be the carb. I took the carb apart and cleaned it, reassembled...
