Update (with Pics) Day 33

19 years ago

I think 33. Anyways, here's the lawn, curious about your thoughts. You can see the difference between the front yard and the back yard / side yard. I put more seed down yesterday (may be too late) and fertilized on the 3rd.

    Looks wonderful. The thin areas will fill in next spring. By June 1, you will have the best lawn in the county. Don't let the leaves pile up to the point of smothering the grass. Great job Parafly.

    Wow that front yard looks amazing. I wonder why the other portions haven't filled in the same way? Is the front very shaded while the back is not?

    My back is performing better than my front but that is because the house blocks 50% of the sun in the backyard.

    She's looking good. You know those bare spots don't stand a chance once that KGB wakes up in the spring.

    You front lawn looks sweet!! Did you say that you have no weeds? Even in the front? You're probably the one person who actually ended up applying the correct amount of water (on your front atleast), the rest of us may have actually over watered.

    The back should be ok, and the side yard is a little thin. I would listen to what Bill Hill has to say, he has done this renovation thing before, and has a VERY nice KBG lawn!

    Yeah, I don't know why I dont' have any weeds. It's odd... I guess maybe because I put the compost down and then seeded into the compost?

    The reason the backyard and side are not looking as good as the front yard is because they didn't get a smuch water. I had serious water issues in the beginning of this endeavor so I focused on the front yard, mainly because 1) it's the largest portion of myard (my front yard is around 10,000 feet vs. the backyard at around 5,000) and also the first thing people see.

    I have been focusing more on the back recently and it actually is starting to look better. The side strip i put the least effort in because it is the biggest waste of water as the sprinkler arcs send a lot of water past the strip, so I only watered that when I had decent pressure and was able to. I am focusing on it more now, though.

    I think the fertilizer really kicked things in, too, it looks a lot better today (36 hours after fertilizing) than it did 36 hours ago.

    That looks Sweeeet! What a difference!

    Looks good.

    If the side and back pictured here are what you were considering overseeding due to the sparse coverage in the other thread, I wouldn't bother. There's plenty of grass growing there that will fill in on its own.

    Did you slit seed that lawn

  • 19 years ago

    Yes, you can see the obvious lines in many of the photos.

    I had issues my first two runs with the slit seeder where the feed tubes were clogged so in one direction (you can see it well on the backyard photos) I have only a fewstrips of grass every few feet where I went back and forth. Doh!
