Back in may I posted that my yard was a disaster after the winter( which it was).SpeeDwerx1000 came to the rescue with a seed /fertilizer mix that was supposed to work well up here in blow sand country,so I gave it a shot.Now I have another problem. This stuff came in so green and thick that my mower chokes on it! With all the rain weve had for the last 3 weeks,I cant mow it fast enough,no shit,every 3 - 4 days . He really knows his stuff,so if anyone needs help,he's the man! I would also like to point out that I used LESS than the amounts that he recommended.If I had done it like he said I could be bailing it by now!

sent you pm dont know if it went through? so what is the lawn secret? I need help with my shit lawn any help would be appreciated!!!!!!

Yep Speedy helped me out too, the lawn is looking good.

He's a good little nig.

This pic doesnt do it justice because I just took it and its raining,so the "green" doesnt show as well. But, this is the same spot as whats in my avitar.The little bare spot on the left doesnt count,I broke a hyd hose there,and knew it wouldnt grow right.

Looks good turbo

Keep those blades as sharp as possible and mow on different tracks each time. Try not to let it grow too much between mowings. Cut no more than 1/3 of the grass blade each time. Mow it dry only. It is a biotch with all the rain, I know.

Good luck, there is hot dry weather coming and it will slow things down for you. There must be some annual grass in the mix, so next year will be a little less work.

Nope,no annual,mostly a fesque mix.There a bit more than an acre of it,all cut up with trees and rock garden,so by the time I cut it all in with the hand mower,then go back over it with the tractor, its the best part of a day.

Could you let me in on the secret mix, I got a lawn with a lot of shade and a sandy mix soil, have tried for years to get something green to grow!

You need a mix heavy in fescue...ours seems to be extra potent.

Quit buying junk from hardware stores and you'll save alot of $$ and it will actually grow.

Very true,but I think haveing the right fertilizer mix had a lot to do with it too.

Yea, it definitely makes a difference.

The fertilizer I gave you is 50% slow release (13-26-12)..it lasts for a while.

Once it is established we'll switch you over to 25-5-12 and you'll be all set.

Thank you very much, I will give it a shot!

true that

Potash is the secret. 3 numbers on a bag of fertilizer are Nitrogen Potash and phosphate. Potash holds the mosture in something fierce. Kentucky blue /Rye /Fescue mix is the way to go. I have planted over 50 yards this year. No it your michigan red sand but in ohio yellow/gray sand and some black topsoil. First fert for a new yard is usually 19-19-19.

hey trbomax you could tie the hay burner in the lawn and save the gas money and fertilize the lawn at no extrs charge

We do turn them out on it for 3 hrs or so a day,they dont even make a dent in it.Interestinly,they wont shit out there either,they will wait untill they are back in the paddock.Three hours of that rich , green grass is all thier system can handle in a day,or we would let them out more.

19-19-19 or 13-26-12 is what we recommend for a starter...19-19-19 is MDOT spec.

We also do custom mixes and can supply any seed you can imagine.

Prepping my 4 acres now for a seed and will be getting ahold of you in a couple weeks. Hope to plant early Sept..

Sounds good! I will probably be able to save you around $700-1000 on a 4 acre job!

Get a hold of me through HCS or call me at 248-444-0356

Damn!!!!

That is looking better than the lawn at my warehouse..lol.

The best part about that seed mix is that it'll stay green late in the year...you should be very happy with it. Let me know when you want some lawn food 25-5-15 fertilizer, we also sell weed and feed, crabgrass preventer, and ornamental fertilizers.
