I like neat cars.
Had alot of issues with burning from ice melt, its finally coming around
Do you guys dethatch/remove dead grass pretty regularly? Any recommendations for a thatching rake?
I call a guy, now that I'm old. I saw my neighbor using an electric dethatcher, looked pretty small and light, and appeared to be doing a good job.
Saw one at Canadian tire.
I use the lawnmower attachment and do it yearly in the springThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Same here, the blade with the two springs. Just a bitch raking up all the crap it pull up..but well worth it for the rest of summerThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I just ran the lawnmower with the regular blade over it after de-thatching to pull all the loose shit upThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I used to do that. Take off blade, install dethatcher , dethatch.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Sharpen blade, change oil, reinstall blade go over lawn again.
Dedicated dethatcher does work better than the mower blade ones. Might be on the margin.
I borrow A cheap electric one from my uncle every year in exchange for a 6 pack.

I have a pretty small yard so was thinking about getting something like this
https://www.amazon.ca/Groundskeeper-.../dp/B07B4MQNHF
Didn't know you could get a blade for a mower that would do it. What blade are you guys using? I have a 16 inch Kobalt mower (battery powered). Are the blades pretty universal?
Yes pretty much universal, they have a couple different length ones, like mine, I have a 21" mowing deck but the blade is a 16". Bought mine at Canadian Tire. They even sell a 6 in 1 version where it has sharpened blades on it so you can mow your lawn and then de-thatch no need to change bladeThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

If you like the manual labour and arm workout, by all means, rake method is legit but getting a dedicated dethatcher or blade, gets the job done so much quicker.

Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.
Is there a reliable method to treating lawn burn from dog pee?
Thanks
I have a small lawn, use this dethatch rake https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/y...5556p.html#srp works great. I use it twice every spring to rake up all the dead stuff. Goes on sale at CT once in awhile.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Scrape out the dead grass, add some soil and seed, keep moist.
Can anyone recommend a fertilizer to use now? Instructions on when to spread and how much to water would be awesome too lol
At Pisces they have this stone that you leave in the water bowl of your pet and supposedly it does something to change the urine so that it doesnt turn your lawn yellow anymore.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Measure the square footage of your lawn. Grab a bag similar to this: https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/s...2292p.html#srp
If the bag is for 4000sqft coverage and your lawn is 2k, obviously your going to load roughly half the bag into your hopper. Follow the spreader settings on the bag, or if you have a different brand spreader start out with a lower setting. It’s better to have a low setting on your spreader and make more passes then to have too much come out and burn the lawn with too much fertilizer in one spot. Fertilizer when the weather is mild, avoid doing it on hot days. Water it in for half and hour.
It’s really not that complicated. Get the scotts spreader that had different settings, read the bag about what setting to use and have at it. Don’t overlap or dump a bunch in one spot. Once it’s fertilized throw the sprinkler on 2 nights in a row for half an hour or fertilize before it rains. Done. Profit.
5th cut off the year.
That Aspen weather.
