In the neighbor’s yard.
Why?
Because when you neglect it for two years, things start to go to pot.
Today, I bought this…

To fix some areas in my yard…





Ok. It’s not just a few areas. It’s pretty much the entire front yard.
First, I raked the yard to loosen up dead grass clippings from the fall. Rooster cleaned up the the dead grass that sat in piles on the sidewalk.
Then, I used my neighbor’s spike aerator to make the soil more receptive to the grass seed…

I distributed the seed using my fertilizer spreader and then adjusted the sprinklers to properly water the yard.
I’m sore from the raking, and my hands are done…

I really hope this works. The seed was much cheaper than sod. If my thumb magically turns green, I’ll try my hand at the back yard.
