Re: Should I add some more...?

Give it time. My front lawn is growing but my backyard is slower. Front is south.

Will probably grow like crazy later this month but things are cooling off now.

I punctured the turf in the discolored area with a long screwdriver to allow rain to penetrate.

Second mow of the season before more heavy rain. Wishing for some dry weather. More edging and cleanup.

Re: 2016: What did you do to or on your lawn today?

Spent 3 hrs yesterday edging and cleaning up. Turf had grown over walks substantially more than I realized. Had probably been a couple yrs since I sharply defined the lines with a blade rather than string trimmer.

Re: New to cool season grass

Since you are open to a reno I should ask if you have a sprinkler system as that will really help. I think the builder probably used a northern mix seed from Scotts.

Re: New to cool season grass

Fellow Ohioan! My recommendation is renovate this yr if you are up for it. The bermuda looked great.

You will really enjoy kbg. Best thing I did was eliminate contractors grass. What part of the state are you in?

What is in the containers on the left? Is that a gas can or something you use for storing liquid herbicides, etc? I was waiting for HLG to answer you first. Red for gas, yellow for diesel, blue for kerosene. The reason I asked is I've been looking for some good containers to store my lawn / garden ...

Re: Municipal in-ground irrigation in your area?

We have trees and other things planted in the middle of the rd after you exit out of my subdivision. They have sprinklers installed by the city. Nearby another city uses their fire dept to water things in the median during the summer. Other surrounding cities seem to have sprinklers installed also. ...
