I Like Grass

Been preoccupied with the water supply, so the yard is getting only the bare essentials. It's tricky to have nice grass with Tampa's watering restrictions, but we are trying. Since the house came with a pretty nice lawn, we hope to maintain it. The back yard is rougher than the front. You can see the shrubs are kinda out of control and a few weeds popping out. Gave the jasmine a quick mow and it's levelled out. I've been trying yard tonics on this lawn inspired by all Jerry Baker's stuff. There are a lot of them available, but I've only been using (so far) the ones that are basically emulsifiers prior to applying some fertilizer and post-emergant weed control. I can say that the reults we fast and it seemed to help. We need to spray some weed killer but have been hesitant given the ramdom soil boring tests our excavation contractor performs. Most of the shrubs are hanging in there, but the nasty little thorny vines are everywhere. If we get through this summer and still have green grass we will declare it a victory. Going to try spot treatment rather than spraying everywhere for the active weeds. Sure is lots of spanish moss.
