🧑‍🤝‍🧑 / 🏡 Yard tools/machines maintenance. What's your spring cleaning routine?

Yeah, the places I put the rock weren't all that small. And I had to do them all in stages, lol. I looked for a place that had that type of rock I used in bulk quantities, but none were close enough that wouldn't charge me a ton extra in delivery. So I just bought the bag you can get from HD or Lowe's. I usually bought 20 at a time.

Plus I have a couple more places I want to do and put rock. But one is rather large and will take a LOT of rock to fill.

Before I built my deck on the east side of the house I looked at several different types of rock. Just half of what I ended up building was ... a pretty penny. I started thinking about what it would look like to keep the rocks clean. That was one drawback. Then I thought about what it would be like to move all those rocks: spread 'em, etc.

The idea was dismissed. It's a deck now. And, as I've said, I'm still building onto it. (Heavy duty appliance pallets that are treated make a good foundation for a deck.)

Just walked outside to take a bit of a break...stopped counting at 100+ rose buds that are just about there.

I use a three way mix for the broadleaf weeds that make it through my pre-em. It's all about the ingredients; not the name brand.

I'm about out, just glanced at Home Depot so I could order some to have delivered.

The price has dropped since last season...looks like about $3 or more.

Well dang, man! Yell us what you use.

3-way mix.

Dicamba
MCPA (is the anocronym.)

Broadleaf weed control. It won't touch crab or dallisgrass. All depends on the weed with things like green onions, nut sedge (yellow and purple)...

I put gas in mine (push mower), that's about it. The riding mower at least gets an oil change every 3 years or so.

That's a new one.
