I did the same shit In the summer. Left a box of fertiliser out in the rain and one bit of grass looks like a scene from close encounters

 

Lol.. throw some grass seed on it. Or hydro seed it. Works better. The birds can't eat it. And it won't blow away.

 

You can grow water, electricity?

 

Yeah you can grow water.. reverse osmosis.

 

Yeah just don't fertilize next spring when the snow melts.

 

We're kinda in a drought situation in Minnesota.. but I always skipped the fertilizer part of spraying my yard. Just bug killer. But this year fertilizer burned most of the yards that got it done.

 

It should be ok then.

 

Cement it over & paint it green.

 

Does your wife drag your hose around? or drag you around by your hose?

 

Nah, I have an automatic sprinkler system. I would water the crap out of it to wash away as much fertilizer as I could before it burns the yard up.

 

Used to do cooling towers for the Public Utility companies. 90 feet to 140 feet up. Treated 3/4 inch sheets of 4x4 wood. With a six foot tie off on a 14 foot long deck. Lated a couple weeks doing that. Saw a guy fall 100 feet to the pavement. He lived. But broke a lot of bones. That guy went back after he healed up. Crazy. And not for me.

 

"You are not going hungry, Thank a few farmers, better yet put forth some time working for one, would definately improve your skill set ! Shoveling shit on the farm beats a lot of other jobs you might get stuck with!"
Which still has nothing to do with a guy over fertilizing his yard.

 

You complained about his fertilizer runoff , something farmers are always getting blamed for, see the relationship there? Or do I have to get more specific?

 

"see the relationship there? " No. You made that leap. Not me. Just because you inferred it, doesn't mean I implied it.
Nowhere did I blame farmers. This was someone's yard and it's not about a farmer's fertilizer run off it's about carelessly over fertilizing his yard.
I suppose if someone said they were driving through a residential neighborhood at 80 MPH and I asked about the danger to children in the area, you'd say I was attacking the automobile industry.

 

Ok , think about it some more, maybe you will get the connection, maybe not!

 

Give you a clue.... It had spun in the username

 

Oh ok.. that guy.

 

I had a alert and went back to check

Gravely is an awesome machine.. the zero turns are expensive. And not very easy to work on if you don't know what they're about. Worked with a guy that said he was a mechanic and he couldn't figure it out. Don't remember what the issue was. Was over 10 years ago haha

 

Mine is old two wheel walk behind with power take off for blades, snow blower and a variety of small farming equipt..none of which I have or could use besides the lawn mower blades...but it isn't a zero turn...although you could horse it and go in a circle. Bought it, my third one, maybe 20 years ago...couple of hundred bucks.

 

Sounds like a good deal though. And like I said they're an awesome machine

 

Sounds like time for a ride on. My John Deere E 140 has a 38" cut, have mowed 5 ft weeds down, Well mostly knocked em down and stripped the leaves off, but cleared the yard none the less. Its got 22 HP, 10 more than it needs so its pretty thirsty, but so am I, and it has a cup holder for my bourbon and ice!
It also has a kill switch in the seat in case I get too fucked up and fall off, thus I can't self amputate anything.

 

We have ride on, a 26 hp Craftsmen cant recall if its 36 or 40inch, my wife and I use it, same kill switch... but...the Gravely walk behind was a true cutting machine...I could wade in with chopped pieces flying in all directions. I put a kill switch with a cord on the gravely a few years ago in case I fell down...and she kept going..especially near the lake. ..if that sucker went in the lake it would cost me a quadrillion bucks for environmental damage
