[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1804924, member: 42463"] Having retired and moved to town (Thank Gawd it's small) several years ago, I'll share my lawn experience and you can take it or leave it. The people around here either hyper manage their grass... or they park on the dirt surrounding their house. There doesn't seem to be any happy medium. Well... except me. I don't overwater, and I especially don't fertilize. I cut my grass taller than anyone and let the clippings lay so they mulch the grass. Net effect? Nicest lawn in my neighborhood with the least effort. The lady across the street with the hundred dollars a week lawn service and sprinkler system, that waters several times a week for hours at a time and fertilizes faithfully has bare spots and brown spots. And the bigger her brown spots get, the more she waters. So here is my takeaway... why do people fertilize if it means they have to mow more often? And get so much clippings that they have to pick them up? Why water constantly if it either damages the lawn or means you have to mow weekly? I mow every two weeks. The lady across the street has asked me about my lawn, searching for secrets. When I tell her she looks at me like I'm lying and walks back home to open another bag of fertilizer. (Kidding, she has the lawn service do it.) [/QUOTE]
