that was really my point. I had had a couple beers last nite when I started this thread if I was a dick to anyone I apologize

I do feel strongly about the issue though, and it comes from a good place that I feel good about. Simply that the safest and least toxic solution is almost always the best, and easiest, and cheapest. It might take longer but that’s how it goes

We've all been there. I get it though. IMO, a weed is anything you don't want in your yard. I like the uniformity of my St. Aug in my yard even though I'd rather something softer. I think some of the weeds that produce a surface level flower look awesome, but don't make sense when it's a random patch in the middle of my backyard while the rest is green. I think the clover all over sections of my yard cover up the deficiencies in my lawn's health, even if they make it look super green.

I don't think most users in here blast their yard with tons of weed killer regularly. Most of these questions arise when it's growing season and approaching dormancy. It's helpful and easier to ask these questions when the time comes up instead of trying to go back and look at old threads that already answered the question, as odd as that sounds.

I hear ya. I got tired of buying bags of dimension and dragging it out of my car and doing the math. Too expensive and too heavy. Lol. And as it rained i felt a sensed of dread about it flowing into the lakes by house with black swans

The hodge podge “method”i mentioned in my previous post (squares of sod) takes the long, but in the long run i do think it’s cheaper and it’s definitely safe and pretty easy if you do it little by little. I just grab a few squares every time I’m at Home Depot
