My wife got on to me for running outside and saying something to the kids were walking down the road decided to go off the road and walk through our front yard and then back on the road. We live out in the boonies, but I mean to get off the road just to walk through my yard and then back on the road...come on. I guess that means I'm officially old, hahahaThat is one of the nice things about it, if you have it, but agreed, if you don't have it, you don't want it in your yard.
The house we bought was completely gutted about 4.5 years ago, and that included completely killing and resodding the lawn. It isn't a bad lawn, and we didn't have a TON of weed issues, but it was definitely thin in spots, so I want to have a much fuller yard come next spring.
I will admit learning more about lawn care has been fascinating to me, which probably signals I am becoming a full-fledged adult.
