He couldn't have minded too much if he was mowing 2x/week.@OM617YOTA you sound like my dad. I was living in an apartment when I worked for the lawn company and we were aloud to treat our own lawn for free. I asked my boss if I could treat my dads lawn since I didn’t have one. He said yes so I started his treatments, mean while I had grass growing in pots on my apartment balcony I was cutting with scissors haha. Anyway after 2 treatments at my pops place, I stopped by on a Saturday morning. I had sprayed the yard on Thursday. My pops didn’t know I was doing it… all the dandelions were bent over and brown Saturday morning. I said pops what’s up with the yard? The weeds are dying, it looks more green and thick. He said idk but I’m mowing it twice a week now and I’ve never done that in the previous 25 years here. I was laughing hard, he said what’s so funny? I said I’ve been treating it…
He told me to stop immediately, if he could pour concrete over the whole lawn and paint it green he would have.
He hated outside work, probably why I’m the opposite.I couldn’t be happier with my nice lawn, the zero turn to mow it, the spreader, etc… On the sports note, it’s masters week, that grass is perfect down yonder in Georgia and looks amazing on the 85” lol. You won’t/don’t get it and that’s ok, much like I don’t get your view or my pops. He’d lose his mind if he knew what I’ve spent on my lawn. 7 20 tons loads of topsoil to start, a couple hundred pounds of tall fescue seed every year, heck I probably don’t want to total what I’ve spent plus all the time but I love it and don’t care.
Why did he tell you to stop the treatments? Because of the expense, or something else?
I don't want to scare you, but you need to do some research on groundskeepers and cancer.
