As much as I love mowing with my 108.... the weeds don't grow nearly as fast as grass....

Here in Pa. I don’t know what’s going on. Everyone’s “Lawn” not Yard. Looks like a country club. Everybody’s yard is thick Greeeeen and high.

Here in central NC... we have some terrible soil... mostly red clay.
Our neighbor was a landscaper, and he spend lots of $$$$$ and an incredible amount of labor.. trying to grow "grass" in his yard. The trouble was- all his neighbors had Bermuda grass as the predominant grass type. You cannot keep it out of your yard. If any yard withing 1/2 mile has Bermuda.... YOU have Bermuda.
Bermuda goes dormant around early November, and stays brown until early April. Coming out of dormancy, It takes about a month to overtake the dandilions and onion grass. By mid-May, the yard will have a thick, strandy, sprawling, weed-choking cover of Bermuda grass... that will stay lush and green until November (if we aren't in a drought).
I'm not interested in making my yard look like a "country club"... I just want a nice-looking blanket of green... if the trimmed weeds are green... I don't have a problem with that!

I think I have that in my yard. It takes over. floats up high. very weird. Only way to get rid of it is Round up.

Yes the clay here in NC makes it hard to grow grass, I have to over-seed every October. Even with irrigation its still difficult !!
