Forgive me for asking, but have you tried searching these forums for answers to your questions? There have been at least a few new threads on leveling in the last month alone. I bet you'll find a wealth of information on leveling, particularly in the warm-season forum.
Thats a great answer...

Re: Leveling project, 2016 progress

Im looking forward to seeing the response to this as I need some sand on my yard as well. I have heard that straight sand is fine and yet some say sand mix. I cant figure it out but I had a neighbor who just used san and his lawn filled in nicely. It took him three applications and his front yard is...

Re: Anyone Here Doing Keto Program?

There are so many good things to eat on Keto but its still a little difficult to stay on it for more than 6 months. At least it was for me...my wife is hanging in there for sure and she is happy!

ZTR Tire Pressure

I hav a Toro SS4225 ZTR and can not seem to get a good answer for tire pressure. The manual shows 12 lbs for the big rear tires but does not specify for the smaller front tires. I called around and got three different answers from authorized Toro repair shops (20,25,40)??? That just seems odd so can...

Anyone Tried This

I have a string trimmer which I have learned to use fairly well. Edging the lawn is still a pain with the string trimmer so I was looking at this attachment called an "Edgeit Pro". https://edgit.com/products/edgit-pro Has anyone tried it or have feedback? Just looking to make things a little easier...

Re: Anyone Here Doing Keto Program?

Congrats on the success and choice of eating differently! My wife and I have done it and now I find myself just eating better, choosing wiser, paying attention and often just saying no to myself. It’s all about lifestyle, choices and moderation. I’m holding 180 and that exceeds my goal so I’m happy!

So I cut the front on Tue and hit each zone for 10 min just to get some water on it. Then the deep water cycles start just past midnight. Then on Friday...
