Between 15-20ish would be my idea lot. I'd probably only mow 5. Maybe 5+ acres of woods, 5 acre pond.

Maybe have a small area of stones, and teach the pooch to use that area?

Yes, preventing the problem is always best. Not much help when your dogs like the grass.

Pick the longest lines and go with that. The least turning the quicker you will cut. Therefore, spirling in in rectangles is going to take longer.

That's kinda what I was thinking. Of course the robotic one where I just watch it sounds hella good too. Thanks for the advice! I did consider a giant does of Round Up but I'm kinda not sure that would go over well. lol

When we had a dog (Welsh Pembroke corgi), he dug holes all over the lawn and I gave up on it. He was going after the moles and chipmunks. At one point he dug a huge hole that had their “grand foyer” with at least 7 tunnels going in different directions. I was too impressed to be pissed off.

Quoted from Dezman:

Anybody on here have a dog and any tricks to avoid yellow spots where they pee? My lawn will look like a chess board soon.

3 dogs here, and it's a never ending battle. There's no way to get that grass back other than removing it and re-seeding and top soiling, and then watering those patches every day for a month. Like people said, we try to spray water on their pee spots right after they pee, but it's impossible to catch all the pees, or even half of them (especially at night). Between fixing dog pee spots, weeds, trimming bushes/trees, and regular mowing, my free time from April-October might be 10 to 1 yardwork over pinball.

I may have a sickness. I’m on vacation and I keep using my Ring cameras to check in on my new lawn. And I think I’ve watched almost every YouTube video by “How To With Doc”.

It's been so hot and bone recently, I cringe when I look out the window. But I think a good dose of rain Wed.

Is your chart from a device in your yard, or from local weather station? I’d like to find something similar for my yard.

#889 1 year ago
Quoted from swampfire:

I have a weather station in my back yard. It's what they call a 'PWS' (personal weather station). Sounds fancy, but they can be had at around $100 (and up) when on sale. Has an indoor display, and also spits out data to Weather UnderGround. In my case, it is an Accurite Iris 5 in 1 (Lowes version). Works fine, but I think I'd go w/the Ambient Weather PWS instead. My buddy has one, and it seems to sample data more often, meaning finer resolution on the graphs. Plus he has UV and sunlight sensors too.

https://www.acurite.com/shop-all/weather-instruments/weather-stations.html

pasted_image (resized).pngpasted_image (resized).png

So Weather Underground aggregates all the data from the PWS uploads. You can simply go to the website and check out any weather station you like (just click on the icon). Rather geeky, but fun keeping an eye on the weather. With the monsoon we had, it was really interesting seeing how much the rain varied from location to location. Below you can see some station locations, indicating temp and wind direction. You can change that to other readings (i.e. rain amounts).

Thanks for the recommendations @mbwalker! I’d been thinking of upgrading my Rachio2 to a 3 with the WeatherFlow Tempest for $400:

https://rachio.com/weatherflow-tempest/

…but the 2 you mentioned are a much better deal. I wanted actual rainfall as an input to my Rachio, since I’ve had it do a rain skip twice when we got no rain. Instead I’ll just monitor rainfall and do the skip myself.

Gotcha regarding using for rain and watering. So you'd just watch the results and manually turn on the water yourself when using a PWS?

Ambient Weather can talk to SmartThings if you ever want to go down that path (automation). I think Accurite is pretty much a closed system. For instance, my Accurite ONLY talks to Weather UnderGround. Ambient Weather talks to both the Ambient Weather web site and Weather UnderGround (maybe others?), and they appear to be more willing to play nice w/others. People have complained about Weather Underground ever since IBM bought it. Meh...no biggie for me.

I did Google Ambient Weather and SmartThings (didn't read up on it tho): https://ambientweather.com/faqs/question/view/id/1884/

So don't take my word for any of that above, dig into for yourself.

You know what has tenacity, F'ng crab grass. I had to hit my front planter bed again today. I'll be back in 2 weeks. The honey suckle and whatever the vines are under my two pine trees are almost gone between the Tenacity and Roundup.

Might take a 3rd application. You'll get there tho.

Any chance you were spraying spurge? If so, that's some tough stuff. It's so viney that if you miss some, it just seems to keep going where you missed. I can mix up a strong batch of Glyphosate (i.e. kills everything, but spurge is somewhat tolerant of it), and the spurge just keeps going when everything else is deader than a door nail. And spurge isn't on the Tenacity list of what it will kill.

I have some of that, but not a lot. For some reason it likes to live between the concrete walkway and grass. It's all goint to die, just new stuff keeps popping up. The sedge grass is a pain though. Although the tenacity works on it, that dam stuff decided to hug my day lillies which tenacity will also kill.

Anyone else here addicted to certain YouTube lawn channels? “How To With Doc” is my favorite. He’s the kind of guy you’d love to have a beer with, and he’s a real lawn guru. I also have a guilty pleasure, “YardBrah”. He’s insanely devoted to his little 3,000 square foot lawn, and he’s entertaining. Little things make him happy.

Yep, been a bit since I've watched tho. Other yard stuff I watch is regarding drainage issues (probably since I'm finicky about getting/keeping water away from the house and my sump pump setup)

We did a 65’ dry creek bed at the same time we sodded the front lawn, to solve our drainage problems. Our side yard gets water from 3 houses, so it can be a torrent. The guy charged me $2300 total, but I think it was worth it. He did a nice job hiding the city sewer drain in our backyard. The job took 2 truckloads of rock.
