Got the yard mowed and edged. Experimenting with mowing with the deck at its highest setting to encourage a healthy lawn. So far it just means that I have to mow more often and edging to make it look fresh.

I took down the corn and mulched it up. Mixed with soil and some starter compost. Got it in half a barrel to use next time I’m planting.

I am at a 4 cause the neighbour is still trying for manicured lawn, but i have 3 type of clover slowly propagating. Well done

There is a obvious level difference between my yard and the neighbor. We tend to have a dry season in July / August so hopefully this will help.

From my experience you will retain double the water won’t stop the full browning but will go a long way.

I recently dropped my mower deck to the second or third lowest setting. Now instead of mowing twice a week I can make it a week to a week and a half based on how much it rains.

very sharp blades and I never collected or fertilized or watered, just mulched it in and dethatched seasonally. Best lawn in the hood while everyone else laid on the chemicals and fussed over theirs
