What are your secrets? Iron? Epsom salts? Gin?

Green lawns are against my religion.

Roundup works well as does flaming motor oil.

Packed red dirt, a car up on it’s side with chickens
roosting in it and I’m home.

It’s not only what you do to your lawn, but when you do it. The first day of Spring is August 15th.


I guess this does rate as news.

Autumn is the best time to kill weeds, just as the weather starts to cool down.

What's he smoking? The author has obviously never been to Texas or the South in August, comparable to spending a month in the fires of hell. He's right though, the weeds and the grass they grow in will die if you just let the sun do its thing.

My North Tx St. Augustine grass does well in spring and early summer but the scorching heat can turn it brown by mid August—even with watering it regularly and the clay soil is awful when it dries out some. Constant battle in the summer plus protecting the home foundations from shifting due to dry clay soils. Soaker hoses a definite item to have and keep the soil moist to prevent cracking.

Can someone PLEASE tell me what's going on with my lawn??? These networked yellow patches started lat summer, now they've taken over much of my lawn. They aren't mole tracks, nor dog stains, etc. I water appropriately and Tru Green tends to the fertilization. The soil is a layer of top soil with a base of sand (everything is sand where I live). The soil tends to be acidic due to the surrounding pine trees. I treated the soil with lime this spring, and have it aerated every fall. But it seems even with aeration, the ground is VERY hard. HELP!!! Can my lawn be saved or is it a goner?

Best to read about the neurotoxins in weed killers before ever using it on your property at all.

People wonder why they get chronic conditions or cancer.

Killing Weeds

There’s a chemical called, 2-4-D found at Lowes or other hardware stores. Easy to use...follow directions. Kills only weeds, will not harm grass. I always purchase the concentrated because I have to treat three acres of lawn each year.
