Grass is so much work.. I need to renovate some fields of grass that I finish mow.. a couple of acres. Too big to use that Blue Bird walk behind.

Wondering if the renovation with tall fescue seed held up with the dry summer we just had?

  How to renovate a lawn

Well there is good news and bad news on the lawn renovation.

The core aerator worked great started the lawn well before winter. Looked great all spring. The plugs had really hardy tall fescue that looked really solidly rooted. My dad had one of the best lawns in the neighborhood until June.

Then having too many cooks involved kicked in. My brother likes to fertilize several times a year even in the summer as he has an irrigation system that runs automatically. My dad does not and is too old to water it.

So my brother fertilized the lawn in July with a high nitrogen fertilizer. With the heat spell that we had following the application we are in burn out ground zero condition again.

So yes on the the core aerator... no on successful effort due to .......

Dennis

Well meaning friends and family are costly. They often do not take the time to find out what is proper for the situation they want to help with or take into consideration such as difference of no sprinkler system as you had to happen. kt

Nice write up. Someday when I retire I might try something like that.

Of course you live uptown me the back forty. Just have a yard lots of weed they stay green even in dry spells and I don't have to mow that often.

Harvey, that is my Dad's place. For me I do like you do, no fertilizer, no insecticide, no watering, just cut what grows, and mow at highest setting only when I have to. Have a bountiful crop of weeds ...Smile But usually it looks really good about the first week of June as it must enjoy the nitrogen from the snow falls and the weeds have not kicked in quite yet. It is downhill from there... but comes back somewhat in the fall on its own.
