Harry, in addition to being in the marine business for many years I also
operated a lawn and garden business. What a scam! First we sold you
everything you would need to maintain a lush lawn; then we sold you
everything you would need to cut it.
I shocked that you have bought into this cycle. Boating seems to be a
much wiser way to spend your time.

So, where's the damned rain?

Who has it?

Jim, first mistake is to believe the alleged yard really exists. Second is to
believe he fertilized the alleged lawn, especially when said fertilizer does
*wonders* for the bay close to which he lives.

Lastly, he doesn't give a damn about the topic.

Other than that, your's was a good post!

We got an extremely hard few minute intense downpour Friday night.
I'm praying for an extended soft rain to wash all of this *^#$(*#&$
pollen away...



Well, it clouded over for a while, but so far, nary a drop. I know that
as soon as I set up the sprinklers, the downpour will start. After all,
I washed my car yesterday, too.

70,000 sq ft. to be watered by sprinklers, lol.

Harry, 70,000 square feet of yard is about 1.6 acres of grass to cut.

That is w-a-y too much for someone who also enjoys boating.

Let some of it return to wild growth and maybe wetlands.

Only about an acre of it is tue lawn; the rest of the yard is semi-wild,
but I do give the latter some attention so it doesn't become too unruly
and a fire hazard. The rest of the place is a speck of farmland and woods.
It takes me four to five hours a week "in season" to keep it mowed via
my little garden tractor. Unless it is awfully hot, I don't. I start
very early in the morning.

People with boats should not put fertilizer on their lawns. If you cant
pay someone to fertilize then you cant pay someone to cut it. Skip the
fertilizer and you wont have to cut it so often therefore freeing up time
for boating... Resisting the urge to water the lawn will also increase
the time you have to go boating.. Who cares what the neighbors think!

Got to be nuts to allow that much grass to grow! When a early teenager, I
had to cut about an acre of lawn. Grandparents farm, and the temperature in
the central valley of Calif would be around a 100 degrees. sometimes they
ran the cows for a while to shorten it, but came down to "Billy, go cut the
grass".
