Just a quick question. I raised this point a few weeks back when you did the video on late season top dress (consequently I did the same on my lawn). What does it mean for the annual scarify? Will there be less thatch because of the late top dress? Thanks, Ashley.

I've never understood walking behind a sprayer, leaving footprints etc. I always walk backwards, ensuring that I'm walking on pre-spray rather than post-spray areas. Not specific for painting, but for all spraying.
@theaussielawn8 күн бұрын
I understand the thought process but i look at it from a safety perspective. Walking backward with considerable weight on your back full of chemicals is far too risky in my eyes, From tripping / loosing footing and potential for physical injury to wearing said chemicals. For me it's not worth the potential gains from not walking on the sprayed area.
