    Southern clay soil. ugh.

    Yes, I also have used a lot of Perennial Rye grass seeds and had the best results with them.. Perennial = they will always grow and not go dormant, etc...There are a lot of hybrid Perennial Rye grass seeds out too, that perhaps will work better too... I just stick to Scotts Brand seeds and have...

    Southern clay soil. ugh.

    I have lived on my first ever river bed, which is all clay as far down as 6 feet, and I stopped there.. Have found that a lot of Gypsum powder in 50lb bags or more is really great at keeping this clay separated from itself, along with adding some good compost, to help with drainage, and future...

    Hibernation is about over.

    Amigo -- Sorry to hear about your Doctor messing around with your health badly... I have been doing this for the past 10 years.. Eat a small breakfast, ,perhaps more if I know I am going to actually Burn off those calories that day.. Drink 4 tall glasses of water with that breakfast. Skip lunch...

    California law bans small off-road gas engines, including lawnmowers and chainsaws

    Agree 100%.. Gas Powered chain saws = the only way to get the job done... I have cut huge trees in the Tahoe National Forest for decades, that the loggers left for whatever reason.. No way any electrical thingy would even make it - and they probably only have a little 12 inch bar or something...

    California law bans small off-road gas engines, including lawnmowers and chainsaws

    No offense taken.. We, the normal people in CA did not elect this nephew of the even more evil Nancy Pelosi.. We, the normal here, got over 1 million signatures to recall this idiot and somehow he still kept the job.. People I know personally went to vote that day and were told " You have...

    California law bans small off-road gas engines, including lawnmowers and chainsaws

    PTmowerMech ------- I know exactly where you were ! The company I worked for shipped zillions of lbs of fruit and vegetables from Watsonville and Gilroy.. Gilroy may still be the lettuce capital of the world, I believe.. Watsonville had a lot of great Strawberries and Bartlett Pears we shipped...

    California law bans small off-road gas engines, including lawnmowers and chainsaws

    Does anyone think that if all the States in this Republic ever adopted the strictest emission rules of California, and perhaps a few other countries did the same, that this Little, Tiny, blip of kind of cleaner air, is going to make ANY difference, when the Rest of The World is hard at work...

    California law bans small off-road gas engines, including lawnmowers and chainsaws

    No, the voters did not want this.. Over 1 million voters signed the petition to recall that idiot Nuisance/Newsom.. But the election turned out to be jacked again... People went to cast their vote and were told "they had already voted".. Sound fair to you?? Here's what I think about CA where I...

    Probably asked a million times already -- weed control and grasses

    My experiences with Bermuda grasses in Texas and California, is that it will die back to looking dead in winter and will come back with a vengeance in summer or when the soil heats up... It needs fertilizer and water to do it's best... I personally don't like it because it is very invasive, has...

    California law bans small off-road gas engines, including lawnmowers and chainsaws

    No, it's not pot smoking and sunshine... I met the absolute nicest, kindest, hardest working people that were called "Hippies" in the day, and they were not brain dead by any means.. Now to be sure, that was some 50+ years ago.... So, the people here today perhaps doing bad stuff are not even...

    California law bans small off-road gas engines, including lawnmowers and chainsaws

    I came here to NorCal in 1969, the weekend of Woodstock, via the U.S.A.F. It was quite lovely then in Northern CA, and still would be if the idiots did not let the Homeless have more rights than the Homeowners today.. California pretty much the entire state has always been the grower of more...

    Score !!! 917.370431 mower

    Another vote for the Battery Tender brand float charger.. I have used a couple of them for over 10 years to keep my vehicles batteries charged, all year.. They sell all the parts, wiring, to permanently connect to the car battery posts, with a fool-proof plug for the other end that is also the...

    I have a way different problem - The Russian Cat Lady behind me... She moved in with 12 adult feral cats and released them into the neighborhood.

    Where would the world be without the USA?

    Intel, which is in the USA and were my neighbors in Folsom, California, makes chips... There must be a lot of political crapola that is also in the mix to probably create more of a "demand" so the price/s can be artificially raised ??

    StarTech - Have you ever tried to see if you can use monovision soft contact lenses?? I have been using them for years and they absolutely remove the need to go find reader glasses for me.

    CEO starting a Briggs 3.5hp engine

    I'm just glad the dang blade fell off before he got it started and it didn't go flying somewhere and hit something or someone... Fashion tip - Never, Ever, wear old man socks with anything and shorts.... I think it is still a violation of the Pure Food and Drug Act...

    Yes ! I still have a 2002 model Snapper Hi Vac Deck with that Hi lift blade.. they call those metal parts "wings", and they really help lift and cut the lawn great.. Mower came with the Snapper 2-blade mulcher, but I knew I wanted to vacuum everything up... If you really want to see a lawn look...

    Toro Time Cutter SS4225 Wont Turn Over

    So, you got the new battery - did you charge it up before trying to start your machine? What was the voltage on the new battery when you bought it? I put float chargers on all my car batteries, for example, and never have issues with batteries until a cell dies years down the road.. I would...

    leak

    Did you look at the float when you removed it, and see if it's holding gas in it because it has a small hole somewhere or at the seam? Did you accurately set the float level ? Good luck with this..
