Lock down.

[walrus]

I painted three rooms during this lock down and I’m not on lock down lock down I still have to go to work. I think I’m going to tackle the lawn next. I want to spread the nutrients that will make it green this summer. Gotta do some research I don’t know the best shit to spread. Next week I’m working 7 days so I gotta get this shit done. Anyone have a green thumb and know the best product to spread on your lawn

Give it a light trim first, then give it a week and trim again. If you cut it too short weed grows with a vengeance. I normally throw grass food on it which also has some weed killer which burns it.

I use a fork to make holes in the lawn. Do not really know why I do it, think it helps the worms in the soil. The magpie enjoys the breakfast in the morning.

So... no. I have no clue what I am doing.

Well your fork thing is a good idea. I have an acre though they have machines you can rent and run over your lawn and it’s just that, it puts little holes all over the yard so that is a good idea. Then I would need to rent a truck to get the thing home. Thanks I’ll keep looking around I have a black thumb, I love cactus and have bought several to grow indoors but so far every one has died

An Acre? That is virtually a full sized football pitch (what you pansies call soccer). You don't need advice form an Englishman about lawns you need some tips from a groundsman. I will ask the future brother-in-law.

Cut mine today first cut after winter. Took about 20 mins

Well that includes the house and some woods so it’s not all lawn. Cool thing is my back yard goes into a wooded area and behind that is land owned be the state so no one will be building back there. There is a decent size stream, I can’t see it but if it’s a quiet day I can sit on my porch and hear the water run. But all in all yes it is a big lawn, I have a drive on mower when we first moved here I used my push mower and by the time I was done I felt like I was going to pass out.

I understand mate. I will ask the future brother in law he has worked on some pretty awesome lawns of all sizes.

He says -

"Depends on what you want, if you want wild flowers etc then nothing as the grass will crowd it out, but for a traditional lawn go and ask a local supplier about a granular nitrogen fertilizer, and describe what your lawn is like now, as against what you want it to be like. Do you want it short to look nice or longer to walk on or mid length for sport etc? Is your lawn on loamy, chalky or clay soil? You want a Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium formulae but the mix of each will change depending on the time of year. Don't bother with one that has weedkiller in it. Feed it and then dig up or spot kill weeds."

Well thank you both for the info. I’m intent on having a green lawn this summer.
