Reply to What to do with the front yard nowThat clay or gumbo is nasty stuff, gets concrete hard in the summer and gets sticky and slick when its wet, I would try to get some sand or sandy loam which is sand and dirt mixed and try to get it tilled into the ground somehow to help break up the clay, or when you arreate get one that pulls plugs...07-20-2017, 07:46 PM

Reply to What to do with the front yard nowI had a plastic lawn installed. I figure that it will have paid for itself in 5.15 years. I have less than 1/2 year left in that. No grass cutting, no fertilising, and no watering. Water is costly here in west Texas.07-20-2017, 03:45 PM

Reply to What to do with the front yard nowI would find a grass seed mix high in rye grass. It will germinate in less than a week.

Reply to What to do with the front yard nowI had never heard the one about grass seed on top of snow. Usually I would go to my dad for things like this and I still miss him not being around. I would have loved to ask him if had ever heard about that. For a lot of years my son and his friends would ride their bikes or sleds down the hill into...07-19-2017, 06:28 PM

Reply to What to do with the front yard nowCongratulations on the new job! Those are great hours, a half day every Friday. Now for the grass. My next door neighbor had a tried and true method for beautiful grass. Every year we had snow, she would scatter grass seed on top of the snow. It snowed, more grass seed. Come Spring, it would start to...07-19-2017, 10:54 AM

Reply to What to do with the front yard nowGlad things are starting to pick up for you Dan! It has always amazed me how quickly our bodies de-tune yet take forever to get back in shape.07-19-2017, 08:16 AM
