Yeah it's from salt for sure.
Sheep manure is cheap and helps provide more nutrients where you're trying to reseed. Canadian Tire has it for like $4/bag

You lawn guys. Wasting time.
I'm just doing enough so I don't get bylaw on me.
Will Green spray paint work on the top soil too?
Asking for a friend.
Where do you buy the contractor mix from? I've seen reference to Home Depot but didn't see any yesterday on the shelves and the staff were not overly helpful

Lots of reviews saying it doesn’t come back after winter tho
For people who don't want to use weed killer I suppose the thing to do is to get the lawn thick and healthy by watering, seeding, fertilizing etc. And said people don't want to use the usual lawn fertilizer so hen/sheep manure will do?
I've been using Garden Club grass seed from Ctire https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/g...&rq=grass+seed for years and it seems to work great. Just did a patch two/three weeks ago in my back yard with some fresh soil and it already good and thick, mowed it today.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

If anyone has any tips on removing it that would be great, i got 3 in a row so not sure how deep down i have to go.

Anyone with one of those dethatcher/scarifiers want to rent it out to me for a case of beer? I did my annual power rake with a big gas one last fall, but want to go over the lawn again before I overseed soon.

I have a big commercial power rake and aerator that I have rented out 50.00 for rake and 75 for both . Lemme know if you’re interested . Depending where you live I can drop off pickup maybe. Rake folds down To go in an large suv.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Perhaps a dumb question. Anyone know if a recommended place to order bulk plants for landscaping.
Namely. I need to order 40-50 cotoneasters for a new hedge.
Seems like lots of places stock them, but wondering if there is anyone who can coordinate delivery for a large order?
Some places seem to do it, but questionable pricing or mention delivering through Purolator or some nonsense. For so many I worry that it would even take a few loads with a pickup.

Thanks, but I already did the deep power rake in the fall. I just want a light scarifying to help get the seeds buried.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I've used Countryside Garden, they delivered my Evans Cherry trees, so I don't see why they wouldn't with a bulk order like yours. Watch out for cotoneasters though. They can and will, get wiped out easily by oystershell scale. I've had to take mine down to the ground 3 times over the last 15 years. Fortunately they do grow back quickly but it's unavoidable to get oystershell in this city. Unless you've got the only cotoneaster in your neighbourhood.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
It's not hard to treat, but you only have about a week in the spring to spray for them, before they burrow again.

Well aware of cottoneasterisms. Have one already on one side of the yard, which needs annual spraying.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Will check in, in a prefect world I was going to rent a truck and pick up a bunch tomorrow, but feeling like 40+ will take up too much space in a bed.
