Wow, using a pair of scissors? That must have been a torture. I kinda agree with taking care of your lawn, just like you would do to a human being.

We have many barbers and each is unique and that is what makes their clients stand out. That analogy is on point! :thumbsup:

You need to treat your lawn like a real person........Feed it (Fertilise),Water it when required and give it a Haircut(mow lawn)........Short back and sides please.
Medicine(Weed killer) and lots of sunlight( alleviates Depression).......and a Vitamin pill(Nitrogen Urea)
Then get kids to play on it!:thumbsup:
Weed killer? :eek:
I agree with the rest. A long time ago I worked a summer for a horticulturist/landscaper. The two things I recall from that job is how to mix a Harvey Wallbanger and never ever use weed killer, weed & feed etc.
Not 100% sure he was right but my sister's neighbor used weed & feed one year on his lawn and volunteered to treat my sister's yard. It was never the same after that.

There are ways to not use weed killer and have a beautiful lawn it is a process. First spring and fall cut super low. In the summer cut at 3 to 3.5 in tall promotes thick turf with no room for weeds this takes a couple years so in the mean time pull weeds with roots and use warm vinegar water on the foalage I have been ddoing this on lawns for 3 years now and the results have been out standing. Now as for my customers who insist on using herbicides I rinse my shoes and equipment off at there house as to not spread weed killer or seeds. Same with lawns where peopledo nothing and its.just a field of weeds
