I have the grandpa weed puller and I really like it. I have quite a bit of crabgrass this year and it works great for that. I wear gloves when using it and I usually shake the dirt off the roots back into the hole where the weed was. 🤠👍

Hello, How does the prosperity blue grass held up in the heat? Does it go dormant when temp hit above 90F for multiple weeks ?
@TheLawnMechanic5 күн бұрын
It seemed better than most , I think the fireball rye is a problem with fungus. The prosperity was overall good this year. My lawn was green all year in the summer ! In the backyard Im going with fescue to see the difference.. Thanks for posting !

I made the mistake of leaving iron on our sidewalk too last month. I thought I blew all the granular fertilizer off the sidewalks, but realized I was wrong a day or two later. I saw one video that said oxalic acid is a good rust remover. Haven’t tried it yet though. I’d try this but I’m worried about the bleach stains making it more noticeable.

Read this at multiple occasions that Honda is going to stop building gas powered mowers, but you can still buy them new as new, at least in Europe. What happened, did they reconsider their decision? When I was a kid, my grandpartents had a Honda HR 17 (early 80s model) and I spent a good part of my childhood mowing their lawn with that thing. That was just quality.

I bought this same mower & had to return 3 of them due to leakkng oil out where dipstick attached to the engine & also 3 of them had weird spider web cracking on the side of the engine block nex to oil fill dipstick. Finally got the 4 the one but this time i got the VYA model with the blade stop & Throddle control. What a nice mower. The 170 is nice but it would just top it off more if it was the 200 even tho its probably not really needed. Just be cool is all.

I’ve been using this method all summer on my lawn and my mother in laws lawn. She has the best looking lawn in the neighborhood hands down. I plugged my entire front lawn in early May and the Bermuda plugs are super green and spreading like wildfire. Another 3-4 weeks and it will be a fully grown together lawn. One good thing to do is to keep your mower blades sharp. This will cause less stress on the lawn when growing back.
