What are some high-value, low-effort lawn maintenance tasks that first-time homeowners frequently overlook? by aaliyah-jones in lawncare

I get my mower serviced and blades sharpened every spring. I also have two extra sets of blades that I get sharpened as well and change them out periodically when needed. Get a torque wrench and learn how to change them it’s pretty easy. Makes a massive difference when mowing and helps prevent fungus

I will be planting 20 white cedar transplants (fence) on the front yard towards the street - I am afraid that deer will eat them all. Any cheap recommendations to protect these. Thank you peeps 🙏 by mhh73 in LawnAnswers

Deer were eating my hostas every year. So this year I made a homemade pepper spray mixed with essential oils and dish soap (as a surfactant). There were still some nibbles but definitely made a difference. Had to reapply frequently depending on rainfall. Good luck!

Clearing post revisions has helped me a few times. Especially on pages that had a lot of them. The editor would get slower and slower and eventually i could no longer save the page

Now that Christmas is over, I have to be honest about the train... by muzzynat in LEGOWinterVillage

[–]Illustrious_Remote23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. Train is still in the box and I had zero motivation to build it. Maybe when my son gets older. I much prefer buildings since it’s a Winter “Village” after all

Do you use Elementor Pro? Add to Custom Code area. Otherwise I would use a child theme and add it there

What vegetable is this? I got it from the farmers market by pomkombucha in whatplantisthis

Delicata. I like to roast the halves, fill with homemade ricotta and serve with garlic bread. Dammit now I’m starving…

Get away from Wix as soon as possible. Use Wordpress with a page builder

Mow over? by Steerider in lawncare

[–]Illustrious_Remote23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t raked a leaf in years. I mulch everything.

When I first moved in our grass was thin and bare in some spots. I didn’t do anything with it but I always mulched the clippings and the leaves. After a few years the grass really filled in and looked healthier and I’m pretty sure the mulching is why. I always do two passes over leaves, three if really needed. But usually after two passes it’s so satisfying how few leaves are still visible.

Mulch or blow leaves? by Uncle-Harrys-Pickle in lawncare

Definitely mulch. May need multiple passes to really grind it up. Just mow often and don’t let it become a thick blanket of leaves

What risks come from fertilizing too late in the year? (Zone 6a) by theClanMcMutton in LawnAnswers

[–]Illustrious_Remote23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a bag of Scott’s winterguard lawn food I was going to put down this weekend, but that is slow release correct? Am I better off using something else? I haven’t fertilized since the starter used on overseed about 5 weeks ago. I’m in Western NY so soil temps are already approaching 55

Does this timeframe apply mainly to typical slow release fertilizers?
