Don’t need all that. I walk around the yard throwing it
Why don't you poors just pay someone to do fertilization/weed control?
I did the math a few years ago and figured out I was only saving a hundred bucks or so a year doing it myself, plus dealing with the hassle.
Not worth it IMHO.

What you are missing is some people view yard/garden work like a hobby. It isn't about the money. Yard work isn't that way for me but I understand it.
We had a couple over to eat about 6 months ago at the camp and I had just finished a walnut buffet, media center,and coffee table built to my wife's aesthetic vision. Kinda Scandanavian inspired with SS hardware. As they fawned over it at some point, they ask about the cost of the materials and I noted it was about $1900 for the three pieces. They couldn't understand why I didn't just go buy them at Ashley etc for much less. They couldn't understand it wasn't about cost, it is a hobby to me and we have furniture you simply can't buy. I imagine they would have thought I was full-on crazy if they were aware of my 1200 sq ft dedicated woodshop with a conservative $120k in machines, tools and tooling.
The bottom line some people view lawn maintenance as a hobby, they enjoy it and take pride in the results. There are also others that are simply frugal and are using the money for other things they enjoy.
