Wilson asked:


I recently saw in a review site ( http://www.husqvarnalawnmowersreview.com ) that they were the best lawn mower of 2007 and that they are also competitively priced. Has anyone used these previously? Are they really worth buying?

The soil is rock hard and dusty. There are rocks and tree limbs embedded in the ground. What grass is there is spotty at best. Crab grass dominates and its minions are no less hideous weeds. I am told that September is the time to get started on my lawn renovation; but, where does one start???

Thank you wise and experienced lawn care pros!

P.S. – If I could afford to put down sod I would! But, like I said, I just bought my first house;)

What might be the advantages/disadvantages to these?

amanda asked:


I just got a used lawn mower from a friend at work and the instruction booklet says to use a synthetic 5w30 or 10w30. Which is better/does it really matter? Also, should I buy the oil from a hardware store/garden dept or can I get a bottle from the gas station?
I did check that…not a 2 cycle – the oil and gas are seperate
wolverine,
the booklet said to use sae or synthetic but made it sound like synthetic would probably be better…why sae?

BS9999 asked:


I am renting a core aerator machine and i have never used one before. My lawn is 10,000 sq ft in a very new neighborhood with between 13 to 26 sprinklers in the lawn. I plan to set up markers at these sprinklers so i can dodge them while aerating.

What is the best pattern i should follow when using this aerator machine to cover the entire area?

** My plan is to start along the edge of the lawn and follow it all the way around until i loop back to where i started and then move in to paralel my the holes…and then keep doing this until i wind up doing circle after circle until i get to the center of the lawn. Is that ok to do … or should i do it in 1 direction (like mowing a lawn) and then do another pass at a right-angle to the original way i was doing it?

Pleas help!

Andrew asked:


My lawn has been slowly deteriorating since it was sodded a few years ago. A lot of my neighbors have sprinker systems and their lawns are perfect. I’m wondering if there are any techniques, aside from regular applications of fertilizer, to maintain a healthy and thick lawn in the midatlantic region (I’m near Washington D.C.).

I don’t like to water because it’s a bit wasteful and tedious. I don’t really want a sprinkler system because it is also wasteful, expensive and incurs yearly maintenance. I’m ok with the lawn going dormant (brown) during the summer as long as it rebounds in the Fall

So is there anything I can do to keep my lawn from slowly dying/being overcome by weeds? Thanks

chocula asked:


I am trying to figure out how long I should have my sprinkler system on to get about 1″ of water on the lawn.

I have an automated system and want to make sure I am doing it correctly.

I read that you can use tuna cans to measure, but I never eat tuna, so I was thinking of getting some of those solo cups and see if they would do the same thing.

Thanks
Maintenance, thanks for that suggestion. It never dawned on me to try something like that. Sometimes the obvious is hidden in plain sight.

Thanks for the answer.
Thanks Connie.

I wondered if the shape or size of the unit mattered.

My thinking was that a larger mouth on it would collect more watter and ***** up the results.

Thanks

I don’t know the name of it. It’s just a riding lawn mower…not zero turn or anything special. It has been used for less than 50 hours.
