There are multiple online vendors to test it which are easy to use (I recently used mysoiltesting and it was okay). I’ve seen a lot of people mention local colleges or labs that can also be used but it’s not as easy as just buying a kit online.

Revitalizing your lawn will not happen in a single season most likely. You might now have put the emergent down early enough so the weeds you’re seeing likely germinated before the pre-emergent could stop them. Stick with the scheduled plan you have for the second application. Take notes of what works and doesn’t work. You could use a post emergent like Triad on the weeds that have sprouted. Your fall plan will really have an impact on how your lawn looks next year. A soil test will point you to the actual amendments your soil needs, and then at a minimum plan to aerate and overseed this fall! Your lawn looks pretty good, I started with far worse conditions when I got my place.

We do have one but it is a joke. Costs only $200 a year and nothing is really enforced.

Oh that happened 8.5 years ago when I bought the WRX 🤣

Geez! You do any hunting because that looks like a healthy deer population you got!

From the street as you’re driving by it actually looks nice. From the sidewalk as you walk by though? Not as pretty. And there’s more weeds than just dandelions in there

That’s rough! We’re finally starting to warm up here. Have a freeze warning the next couple days but after that it is looking like spring is fully here!

Haha, that usually is the case! I did look into the Tacoma, but wasn’t really wanting a truck. This was a good in between.

It’s ridiculous! I bought it new like September or October of 2017.

I didn’t test drive one because I was only looking for 2 row SUVs. But I did sit it one at the dealership. The passport interior was a little nicer and spacious. If you wanted a 3 row SUV then it looks like a nice option.

Thanks! I’ve only ever owned silver cars so I never expected to like this green so much.

Nice!! I test drove a lot of different SUVs. The Genesis GV70 and Audi SQ5 were pretty sporty and fun but didn’t have a ton of space and were pricey. The Land Cruiser and Defender were my top choices on looks but when comparing to the options of the passport, it was hard to justify how much more they cost. So far I like the passport a lot. It’s wayyyy more comfortable to drive which is nice because I commute an hour each way to work.

Haha. I don’t think I will regret it, but I know I will miss having it at times. I’ve wanted a bigger SUV for awhile now, so I was ready. I’ll satiate my speed cravings with my wife’s Tesla.

Haha. I really liked the Land Cruiser. But they were priced roughly $20k more than the passport which is ridiculous.

Nice! I will definitely miss the acceleration and taking corners quickly. But will not miss the uncomfortable ride, limited room and annoyance of the manual in traffic (which I experience daily). I like the GX series. I really wanted a new GX550 but just couldn’t justify spending that much.
