lawn care for idiots
I’ve neglected the lawn at my place for some time now. I think it’s the follow-on from the winter season. Winter means no need to water the garden and lawn, it gets neglected and left, the weeds go crazy, it’s not nice. A few days ago I bit the bullet and bought a lawn mower and edger. Both old school used items (The best kind). a Scott Bonnar 17″ reel mower with a 3hp Briggs and Stratton strapped to it. And a big three-wheel edger with a kawasaki 4-stroke attached. Hammer time.
I took to the lawns and edges like a wild man with ants in his pants. The result is pleasing, despite bringing to my attention that the lawn needs some real care. I’ve been researching lawn care a little lately. Fertilising, etc. Hopefully by Christmas my lawn and gardens look absolutely sensational! we shall see! my back hurts.
