Be careful, with a lawn that big…you need to take your time.

Usually happens on a third date anyway.

This is my first time owning a big lawn. I’m in Connecticut, and the grass is in decent shape. What do you use for fall and winter fertilizer?

I use Lesco 30-0-10 in MA, plus some organics.

I’m usually overseeding this time of year, so I just use the Lesco product with meso. Then, in four months, I do a soil test to prepare for spring. I’m on the south shore.

@Shiloh
Same here. The only problem is that this year the highs are in the 90s this week, and still in the 80s for the next ten days. I’m going to seed so late that I might run into trouble with the first freeze. I’m in Kansas.

Hello from CT :wave:

Very nice! I predict a striper is in your future :sunglasses:

What mower are you riding?

I have an X350. I wish it was a bit faster just because I want to go fast!

Gang Gang! I bought an X370 for a similarly sized property and have been super pleased with it!

@Finnley
Same. All my neighbors have zero turns except for me and one other 390x.

You can’t drink a beer on a zero turn (well). I drive slower on purpose to enjoy an extra beer or two.

@Finnley
Maybe you can’t drink a beer on a zero turn. Believe it or not, some of us are real professionals.

Go down the middle first and work outward.
