Wow! :shocked:
I have one backyard that is all dirt because there are these huge trees that prevent it from getting any sun. There are sticks and so much dirt on the ground, so it can get really dusty when it's dry. It's really a pain mowing around the low branches!

I will get pictures tomorrow morning.

I was a little sad because I had to use my Weed Eater. :frown: My Bolens was out of gas and the only gas I had left was in the Weed Eater and in my Craftsman, which was literally running on fumes by the time I drove it home. :tongue:

That is mostly Dirt... But you can give an area like that a quick once over with a garden hose, just enough to settle the dust & keep from stirring up more. Don't water it like you wanted to get anything soaked... Very little water will make a big difference when there is that much exposed earth, it will save your equipment & your lungs... Plus there is not enough grass to plug anything up even if it was Very wet... :smile:KennyV

This is what I do

I like sprinkler timer boxes on outside of house run a quick 2 min cycle and take a air conditioner brake. Or if no boxes I use their sprinkler or hose. In the heat this can lead to a little steam...

I have a couple that don't care... and I don't really have the option to throw water down.

And here are the low branches that get on my nerves:

Man I hate low hanging limbs I lose my hat 3 or more times a day going under them on the rider have not chopped one up yet.

Last year I was citing around a dead tree and got jumped by bees I have long hair so they got stuck in it. Dr counted over 60 stings. Anyways my glasses fell off looked for them for over a hour and never found them even months later cutting the yard every week never found them.

There was no battle they just jumped me and kicked my butt.
I would not wish that on anyone

I remember one night some wasp made a nest inside my steering wheel. Hopped on the mower one morning and three of those bastards came flying out. Killed them with brake fluid.

I mow a yard that has a swingset with a slide and once I tapped the slide with my mower and like 20 bees came out...I got some exercise from running that day! :confused2:

Wd 40 and gas are good killers and if no fire hazard a match with that gas.

I use the disposable yellow jacket traps in my yard they work better than the reusable ones

I got stung once yesterday was the first time in a year I jumped off the mower and ran.
It takes a lot to scare me but them little bees almost killed me.

That's funny i hate getting stung it never fails at least once a year. The dust is here isn't it; it's that time of year. Our string trimmers have been looking like we drug them down a dirt road at the end of the day, lately
