Re: Weird grass blades

Pics are useless. Disconnect the spark plug wire, and tilt the mower. Slowly pull the starter rope. The leading edge in the direction the blade turns is the cutting edge, and the "angle edge" should be on the up-side of the leading edge. Thanks for the post ... did you not read what it says on the ...

Re: Weed ID help please ...

But, of course, if you don't have any nearby, it's easy to rule out! They're obnoxious seeders (unless triploid) and can easily sprout up in mass 30–40 feet away depending on your wind and drainage patterns. I haven't been able to come up with any other candidate with a similar leaf. Yeah same here.

Re: Weed ID help please ...

Huh? What you have is clearly a recent seedling that becomes something much bigger and woody. Here is a Rose of Sharon seedling. Did you not already Google "Rose of Sharon seedling" and look at images? Use the tools available to you. I may very well be wrong, but at least compare apples to apples. ...

I would have put money on Rose of Sharon, being quite familiar with the onslaught of seedlings this time of year. Let one mature some more and get back to us.
Rose of Sharon looks so big .this is more like a smaller weed in the yard

Re: Grass type

So I was thinking my mower with the deck set all the way up is a 4 inch cutting height. Now it does have the larger wheels on the back if I replaced those with small wheels like the front ones,it should bring the cutting height down to 3.50 3.75 what do you guys think ??? Would it work anyone tried ...

Re: Grass type

If you are looking for an in between cutting height raise the front a notch which tilts the deck lower at the rear. The grass gets cut twice with the front cutting higher and then a final lower cut with the rear of the blade. With single blade mowers this will also give finer clippings. How much of...

Re: Grass type

So would anyone know does it really matter to the soil if the grass is cut at 3 or 4 . Yes I understand 4 is better health wise, but does it really help out that much ?? Now that I'm cutting at 3 it does seem so short .

I wish I could get rid of the thick grass and just get kbg Hello neighbor, from Midway. Your wish can not be granted because someone seeded a northern mix ( KBG, Rye & Fescue) which may have also included a couple/few undesirables too like K-31. PS. With this rain, keeping your grass too tall only ...

Re: Letting grass grow to improve root depth

My guess is it would flop over which would be really bad. Then you need to rake it and mower it at the same time. Plus it would be really hard not to cut to much off which is also bad.

Re: I messed up

I did the same thing last year, only I have no good excuse. I sprayed RoundUp on some Bermuda that was coming up near one of my trees and then somehow got it on my shoes and tracked through my grass so I had footprint shaped dead spots for 6 months (until I overseeded that fall). haha.
