Closer To Home

Posted on Aug 4, 2010 in blog, Uncategorized

So it seems I’ve got a major problem at home.  What started out looking like dry and dying grass turned out to be some kind of grub in the lawn.  While that was bad enough, what happened next was worse – birds and raccoons digging up the lawn in search of a tasty midnight treat.

In the photos below, this damage all happened in about 5 days. I don’t know that they’re all through yet.

So, yes I have a lot of work cut out for me in the coming weeks. As I understand it, the best thing is to remove the dead areas, clean the soil with a targeted natural insecticide and then reseed.  Lots of fun.
