Lots of it!

Took me a month and a few hundred dollars but I finally resurrected my lawn.

Thanks to me breaking the sprinkler system earlier I found a new sense of manly responsibility welling up within me. Yes, my time had finally come to where I cared about how my yard looks. And I did it all by my lonesome. No gypsies, no lawncare experts, no pregrown sod, nothing but me, dirt and seeds.

I won't lie, my yard was dead save for the trees. Nothing but dirt and leaves. Hundreds of pounds of leaves infact. My poor back... I must've bagged two dozen bags of leaves and dead grass over a period of three days. Then I tilled the soil with nothing but a rake endlessly mixing new seeds and fertilizers into the dead barren ground. Weeks passed by. I watered twice a day for almost half a month but it was worth it! In the end it was the Kentucky Blue Grass that proved to be the one. All other species failed to even germinate in my cruel netherworld of a yard. The blades were tiny and thin but very much alive. My faith was renewed.

Later I seeded the lawn a second time useing only the Kentucky Blue to fill in any sparse areas.

Today was my new lawn's second mowing and I couldn't be more proud of it and myself.

No ants, no weeds... Just soft lush green wet carpet.
