I am completely new here, I just found the site and joined yesterday. I am new to lawn care, I thought anything that was green and grew in the ground was grass until recently
I grew up in NYC apartment buildings so I never mowed or maintained a lawn until I came to ATL 4 yrs ago. I had a lot of trees in my backyard that I had cut down 2 summers ago so my yard was completely ripped up and just dirt. Because I was cheap and didn't want to pay $5K for sod I tried to grow my own lawn from seed. I had no knowledge at all about what I was doing, I just purchased $300 of tall fescue seed and some straw and threw down the seed and straw and hoped for the best. The lawn came in and I was so happy that I had grown the grass when everyone told me that it couldn't be done, but low and behold now since I am trying to learn about lawns and maintaining them I realize that I have grown weeds and not much grass. Bermuda is the grass that is native in this area so I am just going to let the Bermuda take over and get rid of the weeds. I had a soil test done at the UGA extension and attached is the results. I just heard about a company called Logan Labs in a post from this site so I will probably have another test done by them next month just to get more details because the UGA test seems to only give a few items. I am in GA with red clay soil and my yard has a lot of pine cones that fall on it from the neighbor's tree. If anyone can give me any insights and help I would appreciate it. I am trying to learn as much as I can, my husband was in the navy for 20 yrs but he knows less than I do about lawns and grass but he will help lift or spread the products that I need.Sorry if I am rambling or if this is in the wrong section, please forgive my ignorance.
Thanks for the help.
