Got Grubs

The lawn people came by – I was still in my pj’s, but I am on vacation so I don’t really care.

Our dead section of grass is not form the rotting roots of the dead tree.. We got grubs. Too late in the season to do anything about it now – add it on the spring treatments.

And the crab grass – that’s a special treatment you have to call and order. Even though I call every fucking year and what the stuff gone!

Might as well add de-thatching and aeration.

I hate the word aeration. I have cancelled services with lawn companies over this word. When I was having a lot of contracting work done around the house, some trucks had to use the yard so that year I just got the weed control stuff and explained to the lawn company when all the construction was done, I would take care of the lawn then.

I guess that seemed like a lie because they called my 3 times a week for the entire summer suggesting that I have the lawn fucking aerated. It didn’t matter who I talked to or what they put into my file, they kept calling.

Finally I switched to a company and explained that if I got a call from them once I would cancel my service and demand a refund. I can read the notes on my invoice that the nice service men leave when they treat the lawn.

Mostly I hate aeration because it looks like thousands of little turds all over your lawn and that is just gross.
