after they fertilized in the spring i had to mow about every 4 days just to keep up with the lawn - it was nuts!!! we have the over-sized yard waste bin that is picked up every other week and it was completely full with just grass clippings most of the spring!

yesterday i mowed my lawn and thought, you know, it could probably do with a little fertilizer, just to green it up a bit - so i fertilized.

this morning i here 'slam' from outside (like when you close a car door). i go and take a look out the window to see a truck from this lawn maintenance company drive away. i then go look at the little sign in my lawn... which says they just fertilized.... crap

i'd love to not water, but with our temps in the high 30s right now it wouldn't be long before my entire yard would be dead

wgrmg is the 'soon to be' mowing of my lawn every few days
Hire some kid to mow your lawn.
