I need to get "weed and feed" on my front and rear lawn...but walking behind a "Scotts," spreader with a 24" wide application is beyond my ability to walk behind and do. IT...worked well enough for my small front and back yard in the city...but not here.

He also has a 4' broadcast spreader for use as a tractor attachment...to spread weed killer and solid fertilizer... He says they both work just fine. He likes the liquid sprayer best because he is real nazi about how his yard looks....far beyond my needs or wants... and he mows and manicures 12 acres. The liquid spreader lets him do the whole shebang REALLY FAST.

Nice.

And, yes, the rural changes everything! Best to you! Beating one property, failing another and making some money in between. The American Dream and it's a minor complaint. WIN involved, perhaps.

I'm just about done with my second mowing of the 20. Dayum, some areas had the foxtails and June grass (cheat) WAY over a foot high, along with the mustartd that was in the two foot range.

Some of those areas I had to go Slow-slow to keep from bogging down the blades..
Only thing left are about six acres of light growth, in the less than fertile areas.

Now my back lawn has in interesting effect going on. When the grandson was growing up I used to let him use the garden hose to eliminate dog turds.

I was sitting outside, this morning, admiring my back lawn, and all the spots of real green with the grass higher than the rest of the lawn. Only one answer, dog turd fertilizer.

I bought a QT of that Ortho weed killer that kills the weed but no harm to the soil. I spray along the fence line. I won't be needing it where I'm going. I'll give my lawn stuff to my stepson when I move to my new to me Condo this month. Good bye big city with all the herion.

2-4-5-T works great but I think that stuff was banned years ago.

They got those lawyer TV commercials recently that want you to call them if you used round-up and other weed killers and you got cancer, so you can sue them
