Yeah, I’m pretty fortunate, space isn’t much of an issue. Only one tight corner between pastures and pens. I just shorten the front by lifting the bucket.

Right?!?!

Next time I'm putting the ****ing drill on the back of it. Lets see you get up on 2 wheels with THAT big ol' bitch hooked to it...

Don’t get cocky. It may not be enough. Leverage is a hell of a thing.

Planted this beauty around Father's Day June 2023. Wanted to watch something grow with my little girl, both will be 2 soon.

Gorgeous!

Lewdogs yard makes me want to blow a load. I'm obsessed with it!

The crabapple at our new house is looking nice. The wind ruined it last year so this is my first time seeing it bloom.

Broke out the mowers this week. Both started right up so thats a plus.

Get an electric. Not worrying about gas or any of that other bullshit is amazing. Also being able to hear shit.

A thought on green Japanese beetles and moles. Apply Milky Spore.

It interrupts the beetle life cycle. It's a bacteria that gets absorbed into the soil and kills the grubs. It will stay in the soil for ~10 years.

Down side, it takes many applications over time to fully imbed. I am on my 3rd year of applying in the spring and fall. Last summer I noticed the lack of beetles. Not perfect but better than the prior year. It also needs to be watered in, so right before a rain or sprinkler. Also, not cheap. I have a large yard, 1.5 acre, and it costs me ~$300 per.

Upside, controls the beetles and MOLES. I know that moles feed on different things ie worms, but last year, not nearly as many moles. Cut their food supply and they go elsewhere.

A thought...

And be ready to stop about 1/2 way through the mowing to recharge the battery or pop for $200 for a 2nd battery.

Our cabin lot is just a little lest than 1/2 acre. Our E-Go can't get through the entire lot without recharging.

It is nice and quiet though

Damn House Sparrows.

Little bastards are persistent as hell and won't leave my Martins alone.

Look, dickhead, the martins eat stuff and are fun to watch. You're just in invasive pest. Fly away or I'll keep ripping BBs at you every chance I get.

I will kill these little bastards soon. But that crappy little Crossman of mine can't shoot straight past about 10 yards. It's making things a wee difficult.

A bunch of old dudes in my town have like $1,000 air rifles with scopes and shit.

I was like, will a .22 not get it done?

Just bought some Cidercide.

My main point was for all the lady bugs that get into the house. Upon further review, it will help with my Japanese Beetles as well.

Thoughts: spray a perimeter on the lawn around the house using my lawn sprayer behind the mower. Then, using the spray wand (shoots ~30'), hose down all outside door/window frames. Hose down my fruit trees to kill the beetles. Use a hand held 1g pump sprayer inside on the door/window frames.

How it works. Seems to make sense??
