Water every morning from 5 to 6am. (skip on days with at least 1 inch rain)

发帖数: 14763 | 5 I will bet on the first three.
After July the 4th, mow high. Let the grass shadow their own roots. Also
that saves water. |

发帖数: 14763 | 6 :) true
The right way is mow light and often, and the clippings are good organic
fertilizer. But in case 割一次草屑子能有两寸长, you need to de-thatch. But
again, why don't we just collect the clippings to begin with? |

save you a lot of fertilizer. |

不过那个18V的免费的不咋好使，完全靠手拎着敲边，有点儿累~ |

Adjust cutting height. Cut your grass higher, especially during fall and
winter months. Generally speaking, a grass root system grows about as deep
as the grass blades are tall, and a deeper root system always results in a
healthier lawn. It's never too late to let the grass grow taller. Raise the
deck height of your mower each time you mow until you reach the desired
height, which should be at least two inches for wa... 阅读全帖 |

butterflies, honeybees and flocks of songbirds.

certainly not a repair manual. However, there a few steps you can take
before taking it to the repair shop for a thorough fix.

发帖数: 320 | 42 Agree. No kids, mid-atlantic (not NYC or Boston area), base 260K + about 50
K bonus, my house is 600K (about 12K tax), I feel my quality of life is not
impacted and I do not need to do any house related work myself. But if I buy
house more expensive than that I do feel my quality of life will be
negatively impacted and I may end up mowing my lawn and do lanscaping myself
, so, your call. |

发帖数: 320 | 43 If it is 700K, I might do gardening, landscaping, house cleaning, mowing and
snow removal myself since, if you read closely, at that time half of the
income can not support everything. Of course if I want to use the other
half of income, my life style can be the same, but the point is I do not
want to. |
