    .....is not what this thread is about.

    Instead, I would like some helpful tips on how to grow a good lawn this year. Any suggestions? So what do people do? Do you fertilize? Is aeration a hoax? What about weed control? What is the cheapest most effective method?

    Sorry about the tease, but I need input here!! 😠

    Then I say invest it in a penny stock and wait/hope that it takes off and in the meantime live with the lawn you've got.

    I allow a whole group of lesbians to have constant sex on my lawn during the month of March. My lawn always comes out immaculate. Something about what they do really works that sod into the soil. 🙂

    Fertilizing and overseeding is the easiest (and probably the most effective) way of getting a great looking lawn. Most people know about fertilizing so I won't get into that. About once a week spread grass seed evenly over your lawn and then water your lawn. Doesn't take very long, do this once a week for a few weeks and before you know it you'll be cursing me because of all the time you're spending cutting the grass... but you'll be spending less time weeding, because the grass will actually crowd out the weeds.

    Always water your lawn after seeding or fertilizing.


    By the way, I almost skipped passed this thread because of the title. 😕
