Seeing that you have a Husky, and I just did this - if you haven't already, I suggest finding a "Speed Feed" head for your trimmer. Run the line through the hole in the head, and crank it on.

I used to do landscaping, and am faster than most at replacing line, but that thing makes it easy enough that I don't have to do it for my wife anymore when hers runs out. Added a washer to the head to help it last for a bunch of years, instead of the plastic wearing away.
Will look it up. Husky 345fr, with a bump head.

I usually need a water break anyway.

Centipede, because its very sandy dirt and holds better on slopes. From research and the sod supplier recommendation
been debating about ripping up all of my sod and going with centipede. Had fescue at one point and couldn't keep that shit alive due to the heat in NC. My grass is mostly bermuda now, but it turns ugly and brown in the winter. Centipede around here seems to stay pretty consistently green. That's what we had growing up and you couldn't kill the stuff. Rarely had to mow, and my parents didn't do shit to the yard but have me mow it from time to time.

The grass around my house is centipede and it goes dormant and brown in winter after first freeze, it likes hot weather.

The fence materials were just delivered. Not as much material as I imagined but I was really impressed with the forklift used. The load could be shifted side to side and it had its own forward stabilizers/lifts/out riggers. IMG_2753.jpegIMG_2751.jpeg

Interesting. Neighbor across the street has centipede and his stays green during the winter. He doesn't do dick to his grass. Barely ever has to cut it. Never once seen him fertilize it or anything.

I dont care if its grass or weeds, if its greenish I am happy. Neighbors always say my lawn looks great. I never fertilize or kill the weeds. Looks great from the road!

We overseed the Bermuda with ryegrass in winter here. Big pain in the ass but the lawn looks amazing in winter.

Proof that even the smallest boats benefit from having trim tabs. Big 40hp motor too. From California, A long way from home.

I got to admit…I’m having a case of dinghy envy. Lol
Is that thing named "Under Pressure? if so, it's brilliant. I have a fin like that on my 9.9hp Tohatsu/310cm RIB, helps a bunch!

Piss poor planning by prior proprietors.

I do the same. It was cold later this year so I didn't scalp it until recently. So my Bermuda is still recovering from that.
