Do your own lawnmower tune up

Always do your own tuneup for your lawnmower. Do not be fooled by the power shops telling you it cost like 150 or 200 to do a tuneup when it will cost 12 dollars or less to do it yourself. All you need is either buy the parts yourself at a automobile shop or purchase a tune up kit for your lawnmower.
A tuneup just consists of changing oil,spark plug,air filter,add some new oil,add some gas treatment and sharpen your mower blade.

You could get a kit for like 12 dollars then sharpen your mower blade òn your work bench. Make sure to brink your dirty engine oil to your local dept of public works location they will get rid of it for you for free .You just need to have approved transport container.
I just did my tune up now as its supposed to be in the 80s this weekend and i need to make sure i keep up with the Joneses.

So yeah do your own tune up and youll have the last laugh at these power shops.You know what im getting at you pull in there with your lawn mower the guy comes from the back of shop and makes believe he is busy and was actually doing something. Then you say i need this tuned up. Then hes like well ' i cant get to it today i cant promise you when but, it will be done for sure in the next 3 weeks. ???

Your saying to yourself 3 weeks i need this thing tomorrow.
So dont be fooled i just did mine tonight it took me like 15 minutes. So when they say i should have it done in a few weeks there lying.
So stay away from these power shops and do it yourselves its very rewarding!

How to sow seed for cool season grass

How to plant grass seed I get this question all the time so i figured id share my expertise on this .The bottom line is nothing will happen unless you prepare the seed bed. I see a lot of people throw seed on the ground and nothing happens and they wonder why! Or they prepare the seed bed then dont cover the seed with soil or add fertilizer or mulch the area you have to do all the steps or else your lawn will look like this after 2 weeks. Notice how only 60% of the grass seed germinated here? its because someone did not prepare the seed bed correctly so always prepare the seed bed so you wont have to water the grass for another 2 weeks then run out and order more grass seed. #1 Prepare the seedbed - Remove any debris-leaves-twigs-weeds-bring in top soil if you need it. Work in some peatmoss and or top soil to your soil with garden rake.Aerate.Throw down some starter fertilizer. it really does not matter if you put the seed down first or starter fertilizer as long as you ha...

The grass is greener on the other side

It is greener on the other side You know that saying! dont you ??? It does hold some truth. Believe it or not but today during the heat wave we are having, I must have seen close to 50 people cutting there grass in the heat ,in the sun close to 90 to 95 degrees. And tomorrow its supposed to be 95 as the high and im sure I will see more people cutting there grass. I know its weird in a way. You see the thing is cutting your grass in a heat wave or anything close to 90 degrees is the last thing youd want to do. Actually you would be doing more harm than good as it would be restricting the grass plants from being able to produce energy to grow.And would turn a your lawn a bit spotty and yellowish brown. So the best thing to do is to cut the lawn at night if rain is in the forecast the next day or just wait a week to 10 days until the heat wave is over. My neighbors want that golf putting green look I do not know wh...
