I planted Centiped grass in HI. That was great never got over a inch and choked everything out. Think it cannot freeze though.

This stuff is great never got above a foot really thick no weeds. My farmer buddy will tell me what it is.

Down in the meadow we call it three acres we have a lot of thick pasture grass. That's great no weeds.
About a third isn't and has weeds. Going to kill off the weeds this summer and plant a hearty low growing grass.
I don't plan on mowing it. We also have a lot of matured trees with the scrub brush growing around them.
Going to cut it all out and spray it with something so it doesn't come back.
Overall, just clean it up, never have to mow it, and enjoy the view.

For broadleaf weeds use some 2,4-D. For undesirable grasses, get some MSMA. That'll take care of most everything. I'd throw a pre-emergent like Prowl H2O down each spring and you're golden..
 
Doing the spring mower deck thing yesterday. Easiest clean up ever. I sprayed the underside with fluid film last year. Man the stuff came right off with a small broom. Waiting on some new parts as usual. Tractor is good to go again just have to take the winch off and see what is going on with it, think it is just gummed up badly. Best thing I ever put on there except maybe the pallet forks that clamp on.
 
Good morning, cold day ahead of me here on the hill, windy and 40es today, been in the 60es and 70es all this week, covered my strawberries extra heavy, frost warnings tonight and tomorrow morning.
 
I was surprised down in the meadow I have a couple large patches of wild onions. Not quite ready to pick, but I'll say they tasted good.
According to local information my property will also have an abundance of morel mushrooms in a few more weeks...YUM!!

You guys are killing Frank and I with all this mowing and fertilizer nonsense. It is still snowing up here on the Tundra. Snowed all day yesterday and is still not above freezing yet this morning. We are a long way from mowing.

Well your getting close to mowing at your other place or are you going to herd goat mowers?

In the past we grazed goats all summer for brush control then BBQd the goats first frost. Not sure yet what we are going to do, ordered a tractor yesterday with a back hoe bucket on the back. 33hp Kubota 4wd.
 
I had sheep for a while they do a great job also. Most of the bases I was at the ammo storage areas had goats. They did the job!

Nice Mike... I'm thinking tomatoes and peppers...and maybe one squash plant. It's just me.

If those pears come back like last year I seriously need to start distilling or making wine. I hauled off over 500 pounds of pears last year.

Yes like a small chain saw bar. 10" I think they are. Corded one would be a PIA here.
