3.5"

Here are 2 up-close pictures of the grass itself for and idea of color. Also, I just put some Milo down yesterday to give it some additional iron to darken it up a bit. It's been pretty wet here the past few weeks, so it's been a struggle to mow when it needs it, get work done and get an accurate pi...

Here is a picture from last week. I will get another up close up/color picture tomorrow and post it. And yes, that Philes program works wonders and neighbors are making fun of how slow I have to walk to mow the lawn.

That "finished grading from right side f yard" photo looks great -- lots of hard work evident! Curious as to what the plan is with the two large stumps remaining in the front? Thank you!! As for the stumps, I tried to have them removed before doing all this work, but I couldn't find somebody to do ...

Alright all... I apologize for the delay but between making the doughnuts, yard work, tearing the basement apart at my brother's place, and a brief vacation/road trip, this is the first opportunity I have had to update the post. The reno is approx. 4200 sqft. Week 1 - June 18/19 - Irrigation and dra...

Starting today with an irrigation install and will follow up later with before pictures and further details.

Just prepping the soil for August and the mixed greens that I do have woke up. Ca, Mg, 10-10-10, milo, and some baby shampoo (not all at once of course). Now I am going to water it regularly and see where we stand in two weeks. And still waiting on the tree service to come. They said a month about a...

Unlike some people I know, I have yet to create any large bare patches in the middle of my lawn. But there is still plenty of time...

Congrats, Slyder on your new home. Remember that DaD doesn't always know what you're thinking and when the timing is right, Wham!! Show him what you can do. Keep the cards close to your chest so he won't see it coming. lol. Oh... he is as much a part of this as I am. I finally get to start using up...

Hosta are planted this morning along with some hollyhock, lilies, roses, a foxglove and I bordered a bed in lobelia. I tried to put the lilies and hollyhock in a few of the sunny areas I have on the property. Hopefully with the removal of the trees in a few weeks, it will give me more to work with. ...

We've discussed splitting a pallet. That should last us through... May.

Dude you're going straight Alpha male Silverback gorilla on the whole thing. I approve. HLG - My father taught me to 'Go big or go home'. Unfortunately, every time I go home I can't help but get upset over the salad greens lawn I have. So the only choice is to go big. And at the moment, I think my ...

Hi all. I have attached my 2015 Spring soil test results below. I am hoping to do a Reno on the 7000 sqft 'lawn' I have in the front. I plan to install an irrigation system before I put down seed (Bewitched monostand) in August and I do not intend on keeping anything that is currently growing. Pleas...

Thank you all for the kind words on the house. I am really excited to finally put all the things I have learned in my years of being Slave #2 to the 'Poa Plantation' to practice. Carrying all those bags of milo, bails of peat, and having a backpack sprayer on for a countless number hours has prepare...
