发帖数: 94654 | 3 最大的问题是，任何一件事情维护起来都不难，怕的是adds up
比如你只需要mow lawn， no big deal
但是，你今天草长了，明天树枝繁茂了，后天花枯萎了，大后天游泳池脏了，然后青菜
又长虫子了，老鼠又来了，鸟又吃西红柿了，家里水管又漏了
一加起来基本上就是房子的奴隶了。所以一定要以少一事不如多一事的原则布置，哈哈 |

但是 overseed 种子出芽有先后，等多一点点好。
还有就是如果你拔杂草的话会破坏保护层，上面相当于打洞了，
所以最好先把该拔的拔掉，然后再喷。
prodiamine 是专业的除草剂，一般 Box Store 是不卖的。
按照建议浓度喷可以有效 8，9 个月，一般一年喷两次草坪里的种子
就不能发新芽了。其他的 pre emergence 时机要很精确，因为有效
期短。
要到 landscaping supply 那样的专业店或者网上买。
Bay Area 可以来瓜分我的，我的怕是可以用一辈子了。
用？ |

发帖数: 1197 | 9 我们家的前院加后院，大概有6000sqf (0.13 acre).
一个比较好的公司quote$50一次（包括mowing, edging, weedeating, blowing这些基
本的），一个月3次。另外用chemical的weed control什么，$38一次，一年6次。
一个个人单干的，说是做了30年了，quote $40一次，包括那些基本的。chemical这个
，没说。一个月几次，随便我。
我想知道，割草到底一个月几次？？这个价钱合理吗？ |

If your lawn grass is still OK, which I doubt it,
normal mowing and watering should wear them down.

发帖数: 145 | 32 As I said before, if engine noise bothers you, you are not mowing with the
right safety precaution. Power tools are supposed to be noisy. More power
more noise. Like airplanes. You cannot make a quite airplane engine. For
your protection, always wear googles ($1.99/two pairs) and ear muffs ($2.99,
at Harbor Freight Tools). Noise will not be an issue. |

发帖数: 14763 | 47 Nod. There are only a few, round-up one by one. Don't expect to kill with
one application. Because when you are trying to do that, you tend to over-
apply round-up, and kill the surrounding grasses.
If there are too many, mow low during blossom. Without the yellow flowers,
they are barely noticeable. |

发帖数: 284 | 50 这房子是２００５年的，前院有一片草坪，相当于城里房子的后院那么大。后院有个两
倍于这个size的草地，不像是人工草地， 有的地方是秃的。我看房主用的是four
wheeler式的割草机, 不是城里房子那种手推的mowing maching. 其他地方的地都不需
要打理， 长着树，树叶也不用管，自然循环。
房主在房根和前院的花坛那放2了驱赶老鼠的小盒子， 里面有poisonous substance.
房子用的是自家的井水，用水不用付钱。每３年找相关公司把储存在远处地下污水池里
的水抽出来。
房前自家范围里有一段unpaved road, 不到１０米长，连接着一小段unpaved的大路，
紧接就上了铺好的公路了，非高速。到城里开车１５分钟。这儿冬天有时候雪挺大的。
能看到远处邻居家的房子２－３个, 离着５００米到８００米的样子， 都各有个的
acre.
我们这儿有大型小型的鹿偶尔出没，没有蛇，听说非常罕见能遇到coyote，这可能是最
危险的动物.
治安非常好，但是我也准备配枪了。
有一点非常担心，孩子小的时候得寸步不离地看着。
还有什么我没想到的吗？ |
