I've had good experiences with both the Walmart's Expert Gardener (30-0-6 +2%) and Lowe's "Stah"-Green (29-0-5 +2%) fertilizers this year.* Hard to beat the walk-in and pick-up aspect of them. *Trying to nurse a soul-patch of 90-year-old Oklahoma Bermuda back to health during the warmest, earliest spring in 30 years (or so I'm told). Hence the two applications of 15 lbs. bags over 7500 sq ft by mid May. But hey, it went from 10% coverage to 30% to now 60%. I'll take that.

@TheSelfStorageGuy Жыл бұрын

this is the 2nd year at the new house. The ground is so bumpy (like in between the rows where the sod was laid). This makes the mower bump all over the place scoring the grass along the way. I feel like the color would be very good if it wasn't for that. Going to need to level at some point but it's like the whole yard needs it. Very frustrating. I may need to just raise the height of the mower until the scoring stops but can't get it short and thick like I want it.

Same boat here my friend. Need lots of sand. Mowing low for now even though it’s scalping in spots. Will raise it slightly in the coming weeks. I like your plan. Thanks for watching man.

@Nikolasto77 4 ай бұрын

I am beginning to think that fertilizer might not be needed once the lawn is established. If you mulch your clippings and your soil is relatively healthy, your grass should get the nutrients it needs from that and the sun. Why fertilize only to have to mow three times as much? I think fertilizer is good for weak and new lawns, but once that bermuda thickens up, why fertilize every four weeks and blow $80 on a bag of fertilizer (which is what the brand names are going for now...)

I just did a verticut yesterday and I have someone coming to do core aerating on Monday. I have top dressing a 30/70 blend at the house ready to go. my question is after Verticutting yesterday and core aerating this coming Monday should I put down the topsoil right away or should I wait for the lawn to heal? Also, can I apply fertilizer to the lawn after doing this the last time I applied fertilizer was two weeks ago.

@BudgetLawns Жыл бұрын

You're really gonna do this? You Grass Factor fanboys are so predictable. Don't be like Harper Explores who only comments when he's trying to "get me". It's weak. Ask him what happened last time. His efforts are teetering on desperately pathetic. He deleted this last one after I responded. Why would I cover them when I want to clean them out a handful of times a season as regular maintenance? What better time than when I apply product to the lawn. There's a sump in the catch basin for a reason...to catch loose sediment, grass clippings, etc... Not to mention the corrugated pipe. Not saying any fert can't make it the entire journey to the storm drains, but I would highly doubt it is in significant amounts. As far as runoff, you're really stretching here trying to back me into a corner. If you guys spent an ounce of the energy where it's really needed you might result in some change. But going after a guy who's already taking into account as many environmentally safe practices as possible is misdirected attention. I applied product on Saturday. It got a nice steady 1/2 inch of rain on Sunday midday. Later that afternoon it received another 1/2 inch. Not heavy downpours. The next round of rain didn't come until Friday after the fert had already been well watered in. That day saw a surprising 1.5 inches of rain, hence my mention of inches for the week. I will not apply if strong storms or heavy flooding rain is forecasted to do my best to prevent runoff. On the flipside, if you water your lawn products in, the water conservationists come after you for wasting water. You can only do so much. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. I shouldn't even entertain you with such a long explanation, but I hope it will serve as further education for folks who need more on this topic. Do you feel better now? ha
