Rarely use split shots...but I put them on with pliers when I do

FF, my lawn is like yours...about half weeds, but it looks pretty good when I cut it

My lawn loses about 10 or 20 square feet every time I work in the yard...by this time next summer it will be down to one small 6x10 patch in the front, and the rest will be fully converted into garden boxes.

If I am going to waste time ( ) working in my yard I will waste it growing organic food, not wasting water or putting herbicides and pesticides on a patch of useless grass...lawn is a waste of time, space, and resources

Fish on...
