Minimal lawn care steps:
2 bags of Winterizer: put one down in Oct/Nov and one in Mar
1 bag Scotts + Halts: down by mid-May (stops crabgrass)
1 bag general fertilizer: put down late Aut/Sept (when the rains start)
1 bottle conc. Weed-be-Gon: contol undesirable broadleaf weeds)
1 bottle conc. Roundup: control growth of EVERYTHING you don't want in an area (don't get this on the lawn! Use hand pump sprayer directly on weeds).
GrubEx: at least once/yr, I do twice as bag is cheaper than fixing lawn.
Every other year: lime, about 40-60lbs/500sq ft.
Take the bag OFF the mower and recycle the clippings, feed the earthworms, good for aeration. No need to water, let it go brown in the summer and enjoy the break from mowing. Forget the lawn care by the numbers!
