I’m not normally a big fan of lawn ornamentation. Or, I should say I am not very used to supplying them. It’s usually enough to design and make the lawn, lol. I have had dashing dogs – moving ornaments of Nature – so excited about a new lawn they could not keep from running on it from end to end, tongues out, tails at Light Speed. But you would need a battery the size of Texas for more than an hour of that.

No, I am thinking Retro.

Take that! I love those old globes, I swear. And make no mistake – they can add color and some fun to a lawn. Granted, they are so retro that there might be some giggles as well. Oh well, eh? Better that than doing without the smiles – that’s what I say.

Bear in mind, however, I will not post pictures of Gnomes. Ever.

Colorful items deserve their time in the Sun, too!

And how can you not love these????

They’re totally more versatile than you ever dreamed. Get the Halloween Set before the rush!

Lawn Boy 10641 20-Inch 6.75-Gross-Torque Briggs & Stratton Gas-Powered Variable-Speed Lawn Mower is a lawn mower which would not be considered long for commercial purposes but which is much more than “just another mower” to yourt average home owner, no matter how large the lawn. It is powered by a great name – the 6.75 GT 675 Series Briggs & Stratton Ready Start Engine. I like the tire sizes, myself, larger and wider, they handle rough terrain extremely adequately, leaving an excellent plane of mowed grass behind. Self-propelled, it has 3 possible settings for the clippings – mulching, rear bagging or side bag. Versatile and durable, its maneuverability and its power are more than enough to make for a satisfied lawn dude or gal.

The goal of most lawn mavens is to show a thick, lush cover of green foreground, welcoming any and all to a home where one cares greatly about his appearance. I could make a long, long list of guys and gals to whom this means something magical and serves a vital role in their well-being. Sure, some are a bit “out there” and darn near obsessive with it all. It happens!

In the end, a lush lawn is, by any criterion, gorgeous to look at and improves such things as air quality and the maintenance of dust control for a home. What we often overlook in the maintenance end of any lawn is a certain “tired” nature a lawn can acquire after a period of years. It is for this reason the entire notion of “overseeding” takes place. An informed  sprinkling of grass seed over an existing lawn is never something to overlook. It is one chore which may be the easiest of all toward maintaining a healthy lawn. It also allows the introduction of new species of seed to augment or to ameliorate existing conditions, leading to an improved stand of grass lawn. Whether we are looking for an improved substance to walk on or one which may be, say, more disease resistant, overseeding allows this function.

Typically, overseeding commences with a real low mowing of the existing lawn – at a severely low setting. Seed is then sprinkled over the entire lawn, with some manual raking with a grass rake to follow. This “bedding” of the seeds allows contact with soil and some protection from elements while the germination period transpires. It also allows a couple of weeks between mowings, which we would do without a catcher.

Naturally, watering the new seeds is required on a very regular basis, either by one’s own devices or by rain. But attention to this detail is fairly vital. In the end, what one finds is a far lusher stand of lawn than before, with an improved top, lush as when it was initially installed, if not more so. A gradual shifting from here can tale place, in terms of the grass chosen. Bear in mind many types of grass combine exceptionally well.
