makes sense. i wonder if i could experiment with a pop up canopy in the yard one or two days a week in the summer heat. it would look beyond redneck but it would be cool to see the results of a new lawn getting a break from the sun. ... like my neighbors dont think im crazy already with a backpack s...

I have forced to raise mine over 2" as well on my rotary. 2.25" barley keeps the third rule true. I would be more concerned with the brown patch. Thats from more than scalping if I were to guess.

i am in the same boat. i am on a water well and my electricity plan is free nights 10p-6a so i have a digital timer in the back where the bermuda is (30$ at wally world)and a 15$ manual tick tock style timer in the front. i have the first timer go off in the back for 90 mins starting at 10 pm. then ...

i have always wondered this... when i park a boat or atv on the lawn for a week or so in the summer, the spot below seems to thrive. we all know that bermuda does not take well to constant shade to a tree persay, so why the taller, thicker spots in a week of shade? i know its blocking the direct hea...

my lady told me on the phone in rained all day in spring/ tomball. i was thinking good... we need it, BUT when i ask her haw the lawn "looks" i know she is not giving me the description i need. lol. :aikido: she is in charge of mowing while i am gone this month. i love her to death but i have vision...

i can see some of your pain with that slope. im glad i dont have to deal with that in my part of texas!

haha, i have a slow connection where i am at work so i read it before the pics loaded and i was thinking man, this cat is angry!


looks spectacular!!!!!!!!!!!

i know its great to finally get some OP!

houston area got slammed!

i left for the drilling rig 2 days ago and i know its gonna take off.... now that im not there to mow it

that's the lesson im learning right now. went a little too heavy on the spot and stunted some good bermuda in the process.

doesnt take much

if you are ready to conduct a soil test is it a good idea to wait a while if you have laid down fert recently?

i figured this is a valid question since the granules might not be absorbed into the soil therefore affecting the results.... your thoughts?

everyone around houston got rain today but me. jealous!

just now calming down from the weekend. fireworks on the lake, and a few drinks.

hope every one had a good one!

4 gallon back sprayer from tractor supply. i was looking for a reason to pull the trigger on one then i saw it on sale 29.99 :good: i figured i had my reason. i tell you this. having a few gallons of water hanging off my back feels WAY better than hanging off one arm :sorry: http://i31.photobucket.c...

as a small engine mechanic i ALMOST look forward to working on honda engines. they have not let technology over complicate their setups. affordable parts. reliable carb's (LOVE my honda pressure washer), like everyone says. they are known for starting on a single pull and holding up to some real abuse

welcome aboard! andy cracks my up but he is so right. i work my butt of in the yard but it hardly seems like work for some odd reason. looks like St. A to me but i dont see any runners??????????/ have yall had a lot of rain? the soil looks like its been soaked for a while. dont be like me.... get a ...

we need it bad here in TX. been watering almost every night and its still not enough. havent mowed in a week!

whats growing in the field? peas?

michael. looks good to me. even tho im still on the rotary level i am the same way. scalping certain spots always discourages me. i have to remind myself that half of the posts on here remind me to be patient!!! every time i learn something new i go outside and stare at the lawn like," ok i learned ...
