Something destroyed my lawn, help
Comments (1)That looks like Skunk damage. Happened to me last fall, seems like you had/have a good amount of grubs. You might not be able to see grubs just yet as they're still hidden deep under for protection from the cold, the best thing you can do is wait until mid June to beginning of July to apply GrubEx from Scotts which is a grub preventer, or you can try a killer from Bayer which uses a chemical I believe was called "Sevin". Or you can do research on a long term prevention called "Milky Spore" but first check to see if they're grubs, skunks btw are nocturnal and only come out at night. If there food source is gone (grubs) chances are the skunk won't return anymore...See MoreUnkept lawn for 4 years Destroyed by moles.
Comments (5)Bumping this back. It's going to be unfrozen soon so I'm trying to figure out my best option without re seeding the lawn. I have no way to water new seed. So I've been reading a lot and have a few options. I was thinking about making a drag out of a chain link fence door and add weight so it will cut the high spots. The neighbor said that's what they did. Or Rent a 1 ton roller and ride that around for the day and then aerate after. I don't care about a luscious lawn. I just want it to be less bumpy so I don't destroy my deck. Any ideas are welcome. I'm not expecting a perfectly flat lawn but anything would help at this point. I just don't want to use a box blade and have to re plant my whole lawn....See Moredog destroyed lilies!!
Comments (2)I would think they'll be OK. They may not grow as much as they could for next year, but I wouldn't worry about them too much. Just a suggestion, when my dog decided to make a bed in the flowers, I planted some cactus there. She's since moved her bed ;) Laurie...See MoreDogs destroyed peonies...now what?
Comments (4)Cut clean with sharp knife the top part of the root on this picture where they chew it, soak in water for 2 hours, plant the part with eyes under the soil ( do not know where you live, so no idea how deep - generally about 1-2 cm ) and straight part going 45 degrees angle , water it, put netting over the top and pray. In future put some barrier so the dog will not damage it....See Morerdaystrom
