I have a high vac lawnmower and in early spring I put it on the (#2) low setting. Cut the grass almost to the roots, spread compost that I made from the numerous tree leaves and grass clippings from the year before. Rake this in and water. My sprinkler system is buryed garden hose (5/8 heavy duty)with the normal $5 sprinkler on a spike. The hose has been in the ground for 12 years, sprinklers are set under plants and not seen. When a Sprinkler goes bad, stick another one in the ground, screw another one on and water. When I make the compost I lace it with 10-10-10 and lime between the layers. Grass clippings, leaves. Layer after layer. My lawn Grass grows so thick it keeps the weeds down. If it is green I am happy.
