Hey All!
Starting up a new journal for this year. Up til last weekend things had mainly been cleanup work - dethatching, mowing/bagging up leftover leaves, more dethatching, etc...
Now that growth is starting up I decided to do a spring overseed to thicken things back up. Sliced 60lb of seed into the front on Sunday and added starter fert. Did a pass with Tenacity and some D-Thatch today.
I started seeding out back on Sunday, too, but the drive belt on my seeder got wrecked after 3/4 of the perimeter pass... (I had a 36" belt on when it really needs 36.5"... whoops). Back didn't take as much of a beating as the front, though.
36.5" belt *hopefully* arriving tomorrow and I can get the back done before we get a bunch of rain Thur/Fri.
As a final note I added Rowdy to my blend of seed from last year - so now it's five fescues instead of four. More shade tolerance should be a big plus for my yard.
