I'm fertilizing and cutting high this year and seeing where I'm at, the amount of work I put in the last few years have not been worth the effort at all by TotallyNotDad lawn care 2 Comments umrdyldo 7 months ago I counted houses last night. Only about 1/3 of the houses give two craps about weeds. My yard is fighting for it’s life to just be grass. It’s wild work. Ricka77_New 7 months ago If you believe in all of the fads and myths, you do this sort of work every year. Stop dethatching. It’s not helping. Don’t seed in Spring. Focus on weed blocking and keeping good grass and soil happy. Cutting higher for some grasses is better. But as a cool season grass, they will want to grow more than most warm season varieties. As for invaders, a strong lawn prevents a lot of that, as does just keeping an eye on it…Not easy, but not impossible at all. Write A CommentYou must be logged in to post a comment.
