Working around the house. Getting the spring/summer gear out, cleaned up, tuned up, and ready for the new season.

Closer To Home

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, and after the grass grow get a mower and make it look beautiful, good thing I have a mower list by Top9Rated. So yeah lots of fun.

A day about, a day at home, a day filled with learning, a day filled with doubt, in the end a day fully earned.
