    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    I overseed spring and fall and topdressed this spring. I don't think it matters as much in our climate if you wanted to topdress or seed in summer. Just need to really water it well and often.

    Can I dethatch my lawn still? Front yard is struggling and there appears to be a layer of dead shit holding it back.

    And recommendation for a dethatching machine thingy?
    Late response, but don't dethatch now. Usually it's only recommended to be done in Spring and Fall.

    With our unusually hot temperatures this early on you will risk killing off your grass.

    What I save in nat.gas, I spend in water. We average 12 cubes in winter and 30 in summer.

    That's as useful as the Club House 350g size jar of crushed red peppers I bought at Costco about 15 years ago. Just under half full, today!

    I mean the 1.5 kg is like $20… so you’re getting 8 kg for free?!

    True. I guess it's a bit like the insane Killex Concentrate I bought. Except... The grass seed goes bad and won't grow after much over one year.

    Went to lafarge, bought soil, spread by hand with shovel and rake. If I did again I’d get better soil as wasn’t super stoked on what I got as it had rocks in it

    Also I'm throwing in the quack-grass towel. Its literally everywhere. Not sure if it seeded off the neighbors 'natural' weedscaping or what but there are hundreds of them in my back yard and they're around the edge of my front yard as well. I don't have the time to paint them one by one as I'm still nursing the dog piss glacier damage back to health.
    If you're not heavily irrigating... There's usually that point in august that you can skip weekly mows and nothing but the quackgrass really grows. Use it to your advantage - let the quackgrass get real tall over 2-3 weeks; then latex gloved hand, spray some round-up on the glove, shake off in a bucket, run your hand up the stalk/leaves and bend/twist as you go (quack grass has a waxy-ish coating that makes spray somewhat ineffective; break that layer/open the plant to receive the roundup); good water a couple hours later. Usually you can see the results in 24 hours, repeat.

    My lawn looks like your neighbors. Not by choice. I just bought the house and the last people didn't take care of it. I dont think I'll get it to where I want it until at least next year.

    Thing is, this yard was the best on the block for the whole time I've lived in town, when the original owners had it, but the PO let it go to shit.

    I'll need the entire list of tools to help to get it right.

    Get a female dog.... I've used nearly 2 of those monster bags so far this year bringing my lawn back.

    Yea I said I'm throwing in the quackgrass towel but that shit is keeping me up at night haha. It looks like hell so I'm going to town this weekend if I can get it to grow out a little bit first. Your method sounds better then the paintbrush trick.

    Also any idea where can I get the blue dye spray so I know what I've applied as I go?
