  It looks great and I found where I can get it here in Australia but I will probably get a cheaper one. I figure for a quarter of the price it does not matter so much if I need to replace it. And also with a smaller yard and tight spots between the trees a 21 inch rather the 26 might be better.

• 
  @GriffithLawnLabs13 күн бұрын

  If you have large dips like that, fill most of the hole with dirt from elsewhere on your property, and leave about 1 inch from being level with the ground. Pack the dirt down well to prevent sinking. Then, fill the rest with a mix of 70% topsoil and 30% sand, Smooth it out. If you have a large bare spot, you can either seed (cool season grass) or use sod plugs (warm season grass) to fill in the area quicker. This method is cost-effective for large holes.

  Grass clippings are great for nitrogen production, would you consider a better mulching blade to help feed your grass and save you cost in fertilizers.

• 
  @GriffithLawnLabs15 күн бұрын

  You're right, grass clippings are great for adding nitrogen back into the soil. I do recommend using a good mulching blade to recycle nutrients. Always keep it sharp too! In situations with frequent rain, it may not allow for us to get out there and mow. The grass grows quickly, and in this case, you might need to remove clippings after you've cut to prevent damage from clumps sitting on top of the grass.

  @@Thimeri0n exactly right. People use mason sand because it spreads easier due to the rounded and uniform nature - but yeah it's pretty bad for soil health/drainage. Anyone who does this is probably going to be on a watering and fertilizer/inputs program forever after they do this. But TBH anyone who does this probably was already obsessed enough with their lawn to be doing that anyway. For actually improving clay tilth sharp sand and organic matter is much better. Of course so is clover mixed into your lawn as a nitrogen fixer - I don't think we're going to convince the "golf lawn" guys of that one either though.

I am about one week overdue for my fertilizer application 28 - 0-1 but also want to try the baby shampoo treatment and I have some grated iron. I want to put down which of those three should I put in first or should I wait in between some of these elements like maybe the fertilizer and iron now and then next week do the baby shampoo application or can I do all three in certain steps at the same morning ?

• 
  @GriffithLawnLabs25 күн бұрын

  Make sure your lawn gets enough water, especially with the current hot and dry weather. Apply the 28-0-1 fertilizer first to address nutrient needs. You can use baby shampoo instead of Dawn liquid dish soap to improve soil moisture retention, and apply it with grated iron right after the fertilizer for an immediate health/green-up effect, but only do this if the main fertilizer doesn't already have a lot of iron.

  The amount of water doesn't really matter as long as you're getting the product applied evenly. So, to answer you're question - it depends. The walking pace matters. It could be anywhere from 1 gallon per 1,000 sq ft if you are walking slower (say 2mph) or if you're like me, I have a 4 gallon sprayer, and I will do my entire 10,000 sq ft walking at close to 4 mph. It's a very brisk walk! The PSI of the pump sprayer matters too, so make sure that is spraying with a constant stream all the way through. If you are not sure, you can do a test run with water only first and see how long it takes to empty out the tank.
