Thread: The Perfect Lawn

My yard is in the middle of what used to be a cattle field. I don't know what type of grass it is, but it's whatever the cows ate. What I do know is that it's tuff as hell! I have to sharpen my mower blades at least once a year, and still have to ride over it slow, and that's with a 25hp Kawasaki engine. But, I mowed for the last time here in Ky just a couple weeks ago. It has stopped growing.

The last time I pushed a mower, is when I ran out of gas hehe.

I think a real man will use one of these:

Well I'm back at it.

The lawn is looking good. A bit patchy but that should fix itself.

Did the soil test again this spring and have been feeding the young grass as per recommendations.

If i can get it through the heat of the summer this year, I think things should be good for the long term.

Here's hoping.
