re: #280 jcm

I tore out my front lawn after I bought my house laid in a sprinkler 20 yards of top soil compost mix and 20 yards of sand. Then I used the latest in eco-grass seed low water slow grow. Stuff is a freaking disaster, weeds and crap looks like shit. I’ll have to peel the root layer off and start over.

Eh, just try putting in plugs, like a bald man trying to ignore reality. Ripping it all up is too spendy, too much work. Other tip? I see you put down sand. Core aerate, and spread a mix of compost and greensand. May take a couple of years, but, by Jove, it’ll work.

(learned all this from my stoned-out Hippy neighbor, whose got a Ph.D. in agronomy, an MA in forest management. Guy is a genius with lawns (and other types of grass). All organic, too.
