I have cabinets in my garage...well...on my precious Moupe's side but they're full of misc stuff (battery tender, car detail stuff, etc...) and the tall cabinet has spare stock of car fluids and asst'd lawn care stuffs. I just have the extra fert bags in my basement in some totes.

Last weekend, in the front and side yards, I put down the Green Yard fert I got from a local nursery. At about .6lbs of N/1000sq ft, it came in at just under 1 bag. Not too shabby to be able to cover 12500sq ft for $30. It's a mix of Milo, Mesa, and some other macro/micro stuffs. Lawn was quite happy in the 1 week since I mowed it. That's the last feeding until fall.

After the Green Yard, I put down a mix of RGS and Bifenthrin (4oz and 1oz/1k sq ft, respectively). I like how I can tell the boundary of where I left off w/ applying fert+ammendments vs not.....well....at least I can tell but maybe that's 'cause I know where the line should be. lol

Went to put down about 0.6lbs N using Carbon-X in the backyard today but the spreader isn't too efficient at <3lbs/1000sq ft so it put down a little more....somewhere btwn .6-.7lbs. I ended up using the remnants that I had from the earlier Hyrbrix and Green Yard applications so that worked out in the end. All are slow release but maybe about 20% won't get the RGS out of the Carbon-X. Oh well.

Also put down Sevin Insect Killer in that back after I was done w/ fert. That sh*t was hard to see going down so I overlapped too much. As a result, the back ~20% of the yard didn't get any. Not a huge deal. I'll probably just put down some Bifenthrin later. The good thing is that I just beat the rain that was heading in so I didn't have to water it all in myself and deal w/ moving sprinklers around. hard rain at first but slowed to a steady rain for a bit.
