It took awhile for the grass to turn green after the long winter white…sooo glad the white is gone. I really like green! It did not take long for the nice green grass to grow and then begin to seed. The dandelions grow even faster than the grass, and so many tall yellow flowers in such a short amount of time. I kind of like the added cheerful color, but there are those who say “wow you sure have a lot of weeds…better weed and feed real soon”.
I don’t like the idea of spraying or spreading a chemical soup on my lawn, actually I have never used it before. A friend told me their sister found and uses a organic weed and feed, but does not remember what it is called.I hope to find out the name of it soon. I did do a search online for organic weed killers and found one which sounded pretty good. I plan to do a little more research to maybe find on more cost effective.
I went and bought a reel mower thinking great no need for gas, oil, cords and it is very quiet. I ran across one problem with the reel mower, the dandelions and some of the grass was just too tall for the reel mower to cut. It cuts great but left some taller stuff standing.
Then I went back online to look for electric lawn mowers, and now have a cordless electric lawn mower on order. I can’t wait to see how it works. But, the lawn is not going to stop growing and wait for the new mower. So, for now I mowed the lawn, weeds and all with a friend’s gas mower which ran great, but was very smelly, noisy, and took two tanks of gas.
