I'm kind of like Mark in that I like to have a nice looking lawn....guess I'm getting older though cause this year so far I've said to heck with it....I haven't put down any spring mix of weed-n-feed nor do I plan to. Heck with it, save the money I would have spent on weed-n-feed. This should allow me to reduce cutting the grass from two times per week to once per week (which I don't have time for anyway), and man I have a pretty good sized yard too. Also have to cut my parents yard...I'm kind of in the market for a "life-like" lawn, so if you all know of any vendors peddling such let me know
