Hey guys, new to the site....I've been in business for four years now. Just run a part time Lawn/Landscape business. I have 14 yards and spend around 12 hours a week on them. I'm looking to retire from my real job in August 2008 and plan on upscaling my business then. I'm currently running a Gravely 260z, but have had a 220 Grasshopper and started out with walk behind John Deere and Scagg.
I do have a question I'd like answered. A couple of my yards were hit hard with this years drought. There are big dead spots. I'd like to re-seed them and have planned on using an aerator first, then seeding. Could someone tell me what would be the best way to go about this and recommend a good seed. I live in South Central Kentucky so our summers are very hot and dry. The yards that need seeding have no shade. Do I need to place straw over the dead spots after reseeding and how soon after seeding should fertilizer be added? Appreciate anyone taking the time to answer, and look forward to sharing information on the site.
