I'm not a yard freak but I pay people to come and sprinkle poison on my lawn to make it look nice.
In the fall of last year, I've extended my driveway, patio and shed concrete but the workers left my lawn in a bad shape. The lawn was hydroseeded in 2016 so it's relatively new. The dump truck and Bobcat have turned parts of my lawn into a barren desert. I've tried loosening the soil and overseeding it but nothing wants to grow. I will try aerating the lawn again and see if that does anything. |

Mostly things I ran out of time to do this fall. Put fert down last weekend....at a higher rate than maybe I should have. lol Too late to seed. Didn't get to aerate but oh well. Still want to put down/spray a cocktail of fungicide before winter. Running out of time for that, too, though.

I keep about 2000 Sq FT of lawn in front of the house. That's it - we are in the southwest US where lawns are frowned upon as water wasting. It is a great mix of 3 grasses and clover. Once called Superbowl sod grown locally for the Chargers San Diego stadium. I let it go long in the summer so it takes less water. It stays green year round and I mow it every week or 2 depending upon the season. The sod is 18 years old and Scotts has been the main food.

This particular sod was developed by West Coast Sod and grown in Winchester, CA.
It's been through some dry years and always comes back strong. I have not reseeded. I do feed it 2 times a year. I lived in the desert for 20 years prior to moving to this wetter climate... and the one thing I wanted was a little lawn |

I was hoping Pete would have his blend out but he is still experimenting with it. Looks like he is hoping to get it out to folks next fall (2020). I thought about getting his TTF blend again but wanted to experiment with some KBG cultivars (nte: to do that, I'd have had to have seeded this fall...d'oh). There cultivars that are more disease and drought resistant than the traditionals. Most won't touch TTF but I was wary from the explosion of clumping fescue that I came down with. In all liklihood, I'll go with a TTF and KBG blend down the road. I've been keeping the grass around 3.5" most of the year but am mowing down before winter. I'm at 2.5" now and will probably keep it about that as it goes dormant. I might just throw fresh soil and compost on my East side yard in the spring and overseed it as new. It is pretty sparse and the weakest of all my grass. Admittedly, I won't both tilling it since I figure whatever grass is strong enough to work through the dirt I'll dump on it....well, it deserves to stay. It really isn't at all dense, though, so I think I'll be good. Plus, with 2 dogs it will help to rotate what section of the lawn I work on. Now stop posting pictures of your lawn and making me feel bad. lol

Last video I saw was...several weeks ago I think but he was saying he'd be testing it out and into next year and was hoping to release it fall 2020. Not sure exactly how low but I figured around 2.5" was okay. Not too low, not too high. This afternoon, I moved all my liquid lawn stuffs (liquid amendments, fungicides, insecticide, etc...) to the basement for winter keeping. I may still try fungicide but not all the snow we got the other day has melted and the temps at night will be below freezing next week.

I never fully got my garage organized like I wanted to so I had some of my stuffs in a cabinet and some out next to the cabinet. I'm just choosing to store them on one my my basement shelves where I know the climate is stable. My garage doesn't freeze but it's just an extra layer of security given how much $ it all cost. Grass seed was moved to the basement as well. I'm leaving granulars in the garage (Sevin and Disease-X).

Looks like the grass is getting ready to go into dormancy. Grass hasn't grown much since temperatures have been dropping

Temps up to the low 40's today and was going to mow for the last time....but said f it since I had already cut it down to 2.5" and the growth has slowed a lot the last several weeks. Sprayed Wilt Pruf on all the boxwoods to see if that'll keep them happy over the winter.
