over the top?

[mad4jags]

Whoever said the grass is always greener ought to be ashamed of themselves!!!!!!!!!

Wouldn't it be easier/cheaper to just get a cow to graze?

i'm a bit obsessed with nice lawns but I just added some grass seed to my lawn and fed it some lawn food, cost £10 max.

One of my old neighbours used to go along on his hands and knees trimming the lawn with scissors - thats over the top. It was a ******* good looking lawn if that appeals to you, though.

pics of lawn ?

kwerk are you available for adoption ?

 

[kwerk]

No point taking pics because I'm currently renovating it to a more elite cultivar blend that just got developed so it looks like ****. If I do a blanket spray though I'll take a pic.

This is an approx typical renovation for me. Kill all the old grass, possibly fallow it for a while, then reseed from scratch.

$560 per gallon under Syngenta's 'Callisto' brand. But you won't need to buy gallons if your lawn is so small you can spray the edges with a handheld squirter.



At least that stuff's only only $41.99 a gallon.

I love your little squirty backpack. Must have a damn tiny lawn.

It takes about 4 hours to blanket mix/spray with the backpack. I do the front one day and the back the next. You only need to do it really lightly. I usually do one blanket spray then 2 or 3 spot sprays which are much quicker. I don't want to deal with the hassle of a trailer sprayer and a hose-end sprayer is far too inaccurate.

Are you selling this for £20 a eighth?

 

[Slime]

Would I have to take my shoes off to walk on your lawn?

 

[kwerk]

Actually I've seen neighbourhood kids walk by, look at it and just lie down and sort of therapeutically roll around in it. No joke. Then I yell at them to **** off

My goal is to make a sort of lush outdoor carpet. Man's ultimate domination of nature.

I can't believe you called photography gay when you care so much about grass.

You are clearly overcompensating for something.

In America, a man's lawn is his statement to the world. His castle. Kind of like the English and their home - only better and genuine. A man with a good lawn is a man worth knowing. A man to be respected.
