Homemade Napalm version 2.0...nice!

Pull the membrane off the backside of the ribs first.

79ºF here on Saturday, 80ºF on Sunday. We have had some chilly nights though so far. I think my grass is confused, should I grow or should I sleep until spring.

I'm in Spring Hills North(~2 miles east of I-45 off of Rayford Rd.)

TW I think he's asking about how late in the season should he still be seeing the seed heads appear. At least that was my take.

That's a cool picture. It appears that the sun's rays are beaming right for the last little bit of snow on your lawn.

Okay folks. 72 hours later(Monday afternoon) this is what it looks like; I said about every three days(although it may not seem to be needed, I like the carpet look) it needs mowing. I didn't take any after pics. http://s10.postimage.org/squxx3aj9/SN850585.jpg http://s10.postimage.org/kg4jbiplh/SN85...

Glad to hear you like Sahara. Here are some pics from today, I mowed this yesterday afternoon, the winter rye grows like crazy(needs mowing about every 3 days or so). I cut this with my mower set on 2, 1 is lowest, 5 is highest. http://s15.postimage.org/cusnflkbb/SN850577.jpg http://s15.postimage.or...

I've got one of those things that clogs up the grass clipping output of the mower, but I don't have any special blades. Like this:

I have a wooded lot beside me, so I can dump the clippings there. The 30k is my lot size, -house, -driveway, -other misc. buildings, etc. I'd venture to guess that my front yard is about 7,800sq. ft., residual side yard located on the small side of the driveway is about 1,100 sq. ft., the backyard i...

Not cheap, not expensive either, but a lot of fun!

I think an irrigation system is out of my budget for a 30k sq. ft. piece of property. I'll put a cat food can out next time I water and measure how much I'm actually putting down. When you say the maint. is a lot with Bermuda, what do you mean, mowing? If that's the case I can handle mowing it twice...

Sodman, I don't know how it is in your area but are you getting charged on your water bill for sewer in conjunction with your water usage? I know that is how they do it in my area. I ended up getting a second water meter that I only get charged for water that my sprinkler system is connected to and...

Thank you both.

I didn't realize I was watering it to death.

Thanks for the welcome. I have a water well, so I have no water bill; I can water as much I want for free(barring the electricity bill pumping it out of the ground) and provided the aquifer doesn't go dry. I'm aware that St. Aug doesn't like to be mowed low and I usually didn't mow it too low(at lea...

Your front yard looks fantastic.

Thank you for your reply, especially about what to kill off the grass with other than roundup. I would probably hire out someone to smooth out the bumps and make the yard more flat(not level) a flat angle. I have a guy that did some work for me in the past and he's pretty reasonable. As you can see ...

Hi All, I'm new here and I tried to search, but found nothing and Googling I find the opposite of what I want/plan to do. Some history: Had a new house built and laid down St. Aug. grass in checker board pattern, it filled in pretty well in a years time(see pics), but this year it went south. http:/...

Just found this website and signed up. I have to say that is an awesome looking lawn. I have to concur with Dave(page 5) about that 3rd pic comparing your lawn with the neighbors.
