Yes. Always in the fall. I cut my grass as short as possible with my mower and then de-thatch followed by aeration. If I have time, I’ll add a 1/4” layer of compost over the entire yard and oversees.question for your lawn care gurus. Do you thatch your lawn?
Does anyone have experience with one of these little DIY dethatcher / aerator machines? I like to DIY where I can, so I was looking at trying one of these this fall because I definitely have some thatch issues. But I’ve seen that plug aerators can be better for the yard especially where soil is compacted. Am I better of just hiring someone?

question for your lawn care gurus. Do you thatch your lawn?
Never and I have beautiful 25 and 30 year old lawns. But I see this as due to: 1) consistency in providing care for my lawn, and 2) the fact that I live in an arid climate with 250 days of sunshine and a long growing season. Different grasses in different places will be different.question for your lawn care gurus. Do you thatch your lawn?
Indeed. It is more like the "hobbies we hate the most"! I would rather hang drywall than manicure a lawn! What a waste of time, water, effort and money, but to each their own. At some time comes wisdom and experience...

My next Sunday package arrive today, on a Monday. Bad marketing if you ask me. That said, I love the easy system and information it provides.

I have not, but I may soon. I have been pulling weeds by hand up to now, but it’s getting old.Have you tried their Dandelion Doom lawn weed killer? I would love to have something I could apply near my veggie and berry plantings.

The Bayer spray weed killer removed ours fast. I do a coat on the entire lawn early in season and it rids most of everything and the grass quickly fills in.Clover removal tips? Anyone successfully removed this from their lawn?
I wouldn't consider myself a guru, but I mulch and do not thatch. My treatments include biologics that are supposed to promote decomposition of the thatch and it seems to work. I know serious lawn care people who have their lawns dethatched fairly regularly. FWIW, I find aeration has helped my lawn a lot.

Agreed to use this to remove clover. Did a great job for me.This is the best I have found for clover, oxalis, and the dreaded ground ivy. You think it's not working for a few weeks, and you may need a second application, but one day it's pretty much gone. The orange cap Ortho claims to work on clover and ground ivy. It's not as good as the silver cap stuff, but it is a little bit effective on clover. Works great on dandelions.

I'm in year 3 of trying to strengthen the soil, and thus the lawn, so much that the bad actors are crowded out by the grass. It's greatly diminished the weeds, but I still have to spot treat with these.
