    I love seeing the blade appearance of very dry grass transform after rain.

    Need help...is this a weed that will be killed by selective herbicides? Only have this kn one area of my new sod and it's shit left over that was buried deep below the surface the installers scraped. I thought it was centipede grad but I don't think so....

    I'm mowing for yhe first time this weekend and might try to hit these guys with some selectibe weed killer.

    Looks like nutsedge. Broadleaf herbicide won’t do it. Very difficult to kill. Looks at what your local college extension recommends for control.

    Bad Boy mowers are made just up the road from us so no Big Dog dealer is within an hour of me. And Spartan (same guy who made the bad boy before selling the company)

    BTW
    My dealer closed up soon after I bought mine, about 4 years ago
    Hasn't been an issue cause all I've ever had to do was change oil and replace blades

    Yea you can use a selective herbicide. Just make sure you mix it correctly/don’t over apply.

    My lawnmower died. I've replaced the pull cord, sparkplug and filter. I've drained the gas and sprayed the shit out of it out of the carburetor with carb and choke cleaner. I've checked the oil. If I let it sit for a while it'll start and mow a couple rows, then it stalls and won't start back up again. I think I need to rebuild the carburetor or get a new mower.

    What were you using for this? Searched the last few posts but didn’t see. I’m thinking of buying one but a battery operated one would be nice even if it takes a couple rounds.

    It's a good bit more expensive to get the cordless version, but it's worth it if you have a sizable lawn. By the time I would've bought enough extension cord to cover my front yard, there wouldn't have been much difference.

    hot enough here (105ish) that my fertilizer literally exploded.

    Put it down in the morning, and by late afternoon, the granules had crumbled/exploded like popcorn.

    Really begging to get this thread watch-listed with that combo of keywords

    just throw in a “where can I get some…” and maybe some assorted religious jargon and you’ll have a stew going

    I mowed my yard less than 12 hours before this photo. I actually thought the cottonwood was about done, but still shit all over the yard. It looked like a dusting of snow had fallen prior to mowing.

    i am not entirely serious about either of these things, or basically anything ever

    but having moved around, i've seen that political ideas bleed into how ppl do their yards, in terms of weed management, insects, native vs nonnative vs invasive, etc
