Dave1290 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 You'll be moonwalkin in no time I'm sure! You'd be amazed at what people are seeing in Ohio. These local kids are insane! Busts about every other week even with the Judge sending them to prison they're still doing it. Slowed down a bit because of that but it's still comnig into town on a regular basis.

JohnJ Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) It's not bad, been doing it for decades, used to be once a year now it's three times. Used up one spade that had a good handle, have a hand me down semicircle blade hoe that comes straight off the handle. What's bad is my discovery of rizomes and the other thingy. Been trying to kill crabgrass here for years. If I still had the original bermuda lawn I would not have to edge at all. So those rizomes are the shoots that grow sideways out of the fescue, it's how it spreads to cover well. The pile of trees at the curb from one end to the other ten feet in and six feet tall that sat there for a year after Hugo just ruined the lawn that we had before Dag-nabbit I'm the one that put the sideways growing fescue in the lawn.

Doesn't work. But, you can have fun trying. Where's my coffee and pipe... maybe I can make some sense of it all. lol 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyBob Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 5 hours ago, JohnJ said: bermuda lawn that is what all of my gardens end up as. Turning it under makes it come back thicker. The deeper you turn it under, the deeper its roots get. I cut sod from where I want to plant. I have a love/hate thing with it. The roots break up this hard dirt and I find earthworms in it... Flip side... can't get rid of it. Pretty amazing stuff. It survives here. Well enough to need to cut it. Won't make a lawn w/o watering... but you still need to cut either way. I got tif-green. It came with the place. It went several years w/o care. When I saw what it was, I cultivated it... errrr, gave it a running start on the weeds. Early spring weeding is easy. Anything green is a weed. The grass doesn't grow until it gets warm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Texas pride is fun. Can't tell that joke In Australia Queensland and NewSouthWales pride themselves. especially their state's beer. In NSW, the beer is Foster's. QLD, it's Castemaine's XXXX A gent from NSW asks why they put 4X's on Castlemaine's... They [Queenslanders] can't spell beer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyBob Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 We appreciate green here... so much that you can get your grass painted green in the winter. .... and TucsonTurf is in the artificial turf biz. ... truth was walking from the doghouse and scared a tarantula back into its burrow. Been waiting to see it. We have several "gopher holes" in the yard. We don't have gophers. There is a little topsoil under the grass. Spose that's enough. Webs in the top of the hole is a tell that someone is home. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if those ones are venomous; but, definitely ugly. i grew up around black widows ... they were everywhere. Anytime cleaning the garage or patio, had to carefully pick things up in case there was one under it. Had one in my long hair once. don’t know how long it was there. Happened on a job site, went back to the shop, we’d hang around and drink a few beers, then i had about a 30 minute drive home. Water from the shower rinsed him out of my head and i screamed when i saw it. My roommate said i was acting like a girl. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
