No. So far it's crystal clear that rock hard clay is not suitable for growing grass. It's patchy, some areas have decent soil and others you would bend a shovel trying to dig. From what I gather I have a complete lack of "organic matter" for anything to live or grow in. So, the main focus should I h...

Mowing was never super short due to new grass, I did do my homework on cutting lengths. Lately I've switched up to about 3". It's been really hot and dry in Iowa so the only thing cut lately has been weeds.
