ColonelK0rn You don’t help neighbors who don’t deserve help. If they are enthusiastic and energetic about learning with self motivation, yes. But if they expect you to do all the work and pay for everything, no. Not everyone deserves help. Some people rise to the top, and some people stay down in the muck and do nothing but complain. It’s ok. It’s what makes the world go around.

@ryanknorrlawncare 5 жыл бұрын

I don't plan to level out this yard but if you were and also reseeding cool season grass works the best in early fall....So around the beginning of September or a little earlier even if you get frost or cold weather earlier in the fall season like far northern places. I will plan to overseed this yard right around that beginning of Sept timeframe.

Wondering why you wouldn’t go through and pull those dandelions by the root before applying your pre-e? Just curious. I realize usually there aren’t already dandelions when using a pre-e, but in this case, couldn’t you save yourself using more post-e weed spray? Thanks!

@ryanknorrlawncare 5 жыл бұрын

Pre-emergent doesn't prevent dandelions and there are so many here that are well established that pulling them would not be an easy task and would likely leave some pretty large holes in the soil. I'll spray them soon when temps are right.
