over the top?

Don't take anything personally Kwerk, people are just jealous of your awesomeness and/or financial status. I get it all the time as well. :)

Surely if you have a homeowners association they should be the ones you should be asking instead of on here?

I actually believe you on this one kwerk, and im assuming that since you have a ride on lawnmower you have a decent sized lawn, so why wouldnt someone want it looking its best.

That mower sure looks like fun, how is it to ride and, you know, cut grass with?

I love it except for the fact the mower deck cant handle inclines steeper than about 15 degrees and I have a drainage area steeper than that which i have to mow with a push mower. The other downside is there is no bagging system, you have to use a tow behind lawn sweeper to collect the clippings. Although I don't ever bag clippings except sometimes for the first cut of the season or before over-seeding. The mulching deck works great though it has a really nice quality of cut and the blades stay sharp for ages. Haven't had any thatch problems since I've been mowing with it.
 
I'd love it if my neighbour had a blue lawn every once a month... Would just make life a bit more interesting... I can't really imagine the neighbours getting annoyed about it, although I suppose depending on the area someone might come and complain - but then you can just tell them its so your lawn looks great the rest of the time, and it is your lawn after all.

Actually I'm going to try to recreate this Japanese azalea garden on small scale next year. All different colours. The sheep would fit in well but my homeowners association doesn't allow me to keep farm animals.

I wondered about getting chickens once, but there is some agreement somewhere from when we bought the house about not keeping such animals, and I think our neighbours would probably complain... plus the actual feeding, looking after might get tiresome.

That garden looks really nice, could be an interesting project to recreate.

BTW the other bottle is non ionic surfactant which makes the chemical absorb better in to the weed leaves.
 
Hard to say because I work in imperial units. I use 3 to 4 teaspoons per 2 gallons, measured with a large syringe.

0.25% by volume is a pretty standard number for it which is about 1/2 a teaspoon (2.5ml) per litre.

Thanks, how much area would your 2 gallons treat?

I use a min of 1 gallon of water per 1000 square feet and add the herbicide or whatever at the rate I want, then 0.25% wetting agent by volume to volume of water. The label on whatever you're applying should say how much water to mix with and the coverage.
