I'm all about the Magic Carpet. It's fantastic.

I get it from Mavis Garden Supplies. $29+tax for a huge bag.

Would the results be that much different between 25-5-10 and 10-6-4 fertilizer?

Depends on what the grass needs.

Good luck ladies

/lays down in weeds


I'm with you. I used the magic carpet last year and it worked well but I still have massive weeds I can't get rid of and can't be bothered to really spend time on them.

I rather spend the summer enjoying other things than if my lawn has enough water lol

I think I watered mine once last year.

can't go wrong with either, but 25 has the most nitrogen. That's probably why my grass is so thick.

Thanks for the tip! Gonna hit that up.

Here's my issue, though. I want to overseed but I don't want to fertilize too early.. wouldn't adding fertilizer on new seeds be too much for them?

I never know what order or what timing to use when doing this stuff.

My current thought is:

Rake to dethatch, aerate if possible, put down some top soil in spots as a dressing over existing grass, then overseed

Then wait.. 2? 3? weeks to fertilize...?

Fertilize FIRST, like a week before, then overseed etc

Once your soil health is proper, growing grass is easy.

Overseed then top dress. Don't do it the other way around. You need at most 1/4in of soil over the seed. Unless you plan on top dressing, then going over the entire lawn a again with a rake to stir up the soil and get the seed down in there.

If it was warm enough you want to dethatch, overseed, top dress, then water the shit out of the lawn (every other day). As soon as you're done dethatching it's a perfect time to put seed down. I wouldn't fertilize too soon after overseeding.

A blower would probably work best. I'm looking to pick one up this year. Any good cordless blowers out there? Or is corded the way to go?

I've got 4 I need to clean up after, an absolute monster in the back yard. Use a plastic rake with wide forks, seems to work for me. You can always suck them up with the lawnmower as well, or grab one of those vacuum/blower/multcher things.

can you wallies post up pics of your grass, so much talk about awesome grass, so little evidence. I need to understand if anyone here actually knows wtf they are doing.


/I forecast no pics will be provided now that we need actual evidence. Are we taking advice on weight loss from a fat guy or not /general statement, applies to everyone in thread

did a good 2.5 hours today on the front yard, will do backyard next weekend. lower back is killed as usual. my small ass lawn is looking mighty fine as well given the fall treatment i did last year. best on the street (not saying much since most are asians who do nothing lmao)...i could pretty much mow the front this weekend had i wanted to but it's just not even at all which is annoying. it'll get there in another months as usual. glad i can use a hand-spreader since it's so small. the tree we planted (when son was born) is doing great for almost 3 yrs. \:\)

just using the usual cdn tire/walmart store bought stuff and timing things right. also hand picked all the weeds out, killer but honestly it's the best method. (i fill the whole will good grass seed, layer with triple mix which i find better than usual top soil) and water it, then let it be.

My grass looks like shit again this spring. Its all brown and dry, but the dandylions and weeds are growing pretty good lol. Im moving in June, but I still want it to look half decent until then. I'll be raking and fertilizing this week, so hoefully we get some rain.

I've got moss against the one side of my house.. Grading needs to be fixed, it's way too wet. Nothing a little physical labour won't fix.

Not bad mang, it's so much better when people can show their work.

Having said that, not to be nitpicky, but ideally I'd want to see close ups of the grass because pictures USUALLY look a lot better than reality, that's the case with my place...but as stated before I gave up. Yours is looking good!

When I get back into trying to recovery that lawn I want the right advice \:\)

Oh, check page one.. I gave up on this shit. It's a never ending battle that I'd rather not spend my valuable down time on. Now I just cut it short so the weeds blend in. Fuck that shit. (I did get it to a point were I was happy, then my neighbour 3 houses down put down seed. Lots of seed. There were a LOT of weeds in the mix and it spread up the street with the wind. )

Once your soil is healthy, you don't water as much.

Last year I only watered mainly in August & only when it was more than 2 days of 30+. With that said, Kentucky Blue Grass is BOSS in the heat, just goes dormant. Any of the fescue's forgetaboutit... you'll be watering that shit daily.

Too soon to resurrect this thread?

Just got back from the US where I loaded up with 5 bags of Milorganite. Bag of Grub Ex and a couple of bottles of Ortho & Spectracide. Got some Round Up too for the patio and problem areas down the side of my house.
