Lawn Care Guide

rapha76 asked:

I would like some advice as to what to do about my lawn so that it looks good in the spring. Right now the lawn has a lot of weeds and some bare spots. Basically, I need to grow new grass, feed what’s already there and prevent weeds in the spring but I don’t know when and what I should apply to do this. Please don’t recommend a lawn care company. I am not looking for the perfect lawn but I know there are things I could be doing to improve it. I have a spreader and I’m all ready to get to work. Thanks for your help!

I need help from you lawn mower experts. I have a LawnBoy mower (Push mower) Last year it ran great. Now when I start it, it sounds like it is going on and off. No matter how I set the idle it sounds like either it is being starved by fuel or by air. I checked the filter and it is clean. It stays running for about two seconds, then almost shuts off, then comes back alive again, over and over. It’s a real pain to cut the lawn like this.

Could it be the gas? I had this gas left over from last year. I’m 65% sure I mixed the proper oil but can’t guarantee it. I used the same gas last year and it ran fine.

Thanks in advance for your help
