I do not have a lush carpet of vegetation growing over my yard. I am barely managing to keep what grass I do have growing. I am making a concerted effort this year to fix my lawn, just short of plowing it all under and hiring someone to come out and spray on a lawn. My main reason is to keep the dust down. When my husband mows the lawn I must make sure the windows to the house are all closed so we don't have a layer of dust all over everything. I spread grass seed almost a month ago only to have it rain for 10 straight days. What seed didn't get washed away, eaten by the birds, or rot, has begun to sprout. I decided to try again and wouldn't you know it the forecast is for rain the next three days.
Why is it that the grass that does grow, does so in places I don't want it. I have to weed the grass out of the flower beds and from between the bricks of the front walkway and the back patio. So on the one hand I do what I can to save the lawn and with the other I'm spraying weed killer to stop it from growing in the walks. Go figure. One can't always have what one wants.
