Recently whenever I start to mow I see several of these bugs come out of the ground.

My wife will never hear the end of this. I almost hugged him.

(my area has HORRIBLE soil and tons of huge trees so this is the best lawn on the street)

I have already weed and feed my yard could I still aerated

Hi guys I let my lawn get crazy overgrown (knee high) I mowed it a week ago and the new grass is more a thick stalky kind of grass. It kinda got flattened and has now gone brown.

I wonder how can I get normal grass back for cheap. Can I do anything to help the regular grass that is left multiply? Cheers

After some feedback from my previous post and pms from a few users, I dethatched and reseeded on September 23. The photo is from today. Thank you to this community for the help!

I live on O’ahu, which has a pretty serious cat problem. So much so that our ACPA and Humane society are not accepting stray/trapped cats. Now, I have tried all types of repellent: cayenne pepper, lavender, roesemary, cinnamon, citrus peels, and even chemical repellents. Ive placed rocks where I can (I live a part of an HOA and am limited to what I can grow/plant as well as add to my fence and planters). I have even purchased ultrasonic cat repellents off Amazon. I also recently got two puppies that I am hoping will scare them off as they grow up. Yet, they still continue to poop in my yard and on my lawn.

I’m beginning to think these strays have evolved to withstand anything 😭. I feel as if I’m running out of possible solutions. I read that motion sensor sprinklers may help, and put in an order for those today. But I thought I would check and ask if anybody knows anything else I can try that is a FOR SURE deterrent to keep the strays away from my property? I don’t want to harm them but I also have no clue who in my neighborhood may be feeding them. I’ve asked around my street, and nobody seems to know.

I have an old flowerbed I gutted leaving a nice raised area of dirt that I'd like to seed in a backyard putting green.

I plan on digging a hole and using a 6" long piece of 4" pipe for the hole.

What kind of seed should I use?

I'm in south Texas btw btw.

I have a half acre property with a lot of trees and leaves. Looking to invest in something well built in the 2-3k price range. Is s 42'' John Deere from a John Deere dealer my best option or something else? Id love to buy used but I don't know enough about what to look for it avoid.

Hello! I’m in the North Texas area. What should I do with this patch of area? It’s up against part of my foundation, side walk, and driveway. This is a small patch of dirt at my front door.

I'm in the process of getting rid of my Bermuda grass lawn, and am always pulling the stolons and rhizomes from my garden. I would like to know if, after I remove the weeds, I leave them on the sidewalk to dry out, does that kill it or does it just go dormant? I'm wondering if I can safely compost the weeds without risk of them re growing later.

Similarly, I planted some trees last week after removing a circular patch of Bermuda grass sod. If I let that piece of sod dry out can I think use it to build a berm without risk of it re growing?

Newly established lawn. Seed down on Aug 28th. A fescue, rye, and KBG mix.

Curious if anybody has seen such a distinct patch of lighter grass like this one.

(Just ran it over with the mower to mulch the leaf litter).

We had a hot and extremely dry fall where I live (Zone 5A) with only 1.6" of rain from Labor Day until yesterday. I fertilized around labor day and it was watered in shortly after, but my lawn was dormant for the vast majority of September and October - I only had to mow twice during that time. I usually apply a second round of fertilizer in November as a winterizer. Since there was such little growth during the fall this year, I'm questioning if I should be doing my typical late application or if the nutrients I applied were stored and never really used up.

Anyone have advice?
