<a href="https://fixyourlawnin30days.com/">https://fixyourlawnin30days.com/</a><br>Most guys I talk to about lawns are done. Done with spending money on fertilizer that doesn't work. Done watching the same weeds come back every spring. <br><br>If that's you, this book I wrote is the plan you've been missing. It's built around your lawn type, telling you exactly what to buy, where to get it, and when to put it down. <br>In just 30 days, your yard can look completely different, so grab your copy on my website at: <br><a href="https://fixyourlawnin30days.com/">https://fixyourlawnin30days.com/</a>

I cut my grass (cool season mix) 2.5" but the grass is pretty thick in some areas. I plan to just skip seeding those areas and focus on the thin spots.

I live in Greenville SC what are your thoughts on scalping Bermuda in the fall? I have neighbors that do it and others are opposed to it. What are your thoughts and why?

When it takes 4 hours to completely water the lawn, how is anyone going to water 3-4 times a day? I scalped, vacuumed, aerated, sliced and now spend the entire day watering. Rain has been hit or miss but all in all I'm managing to get pretty good germination. Praying the heat lets up - it's been in the 90s when it should be in the 70's.🤞Three reciprocating sprinklers are about all I can do without the coverage dropping down on them.

Cut low, dethached, and cut again. Seeded and fertlized. But I discovered that my lawn is extremely bumpy and uneven and leveling a lawn with sand is a crap shoot.

Should we deep water 1x week 40m this time of year before over seeding (hiring aeration/overseeding/0.25" compost) scheduled <2 weeks out? Currently watering 20m 3x week for August dry heat weather. Area 6a (New England)

We have a horrible drought in Michigan.ive been watering my grass once a week. But I won’t be scalping it and causing more stress. I will de thatch and core it and add seed and then water, I’ve got Kentucky Blue with bare spots.
