they'll be 'tears of joy', once the grass comes up PDQ, and real purdy too !!!
Course then you'll have to CUT that grass ! hmm...seems like a 'make work forever' project ??
Gotta justify my ongoing farm equipment obsession somehow!

If you have lots of grass to cut,it'll need 'top dressing' every year or two... so get a Millcreek 25G spreader !!! They do a GREAT job of tossing compost,triple mix and such evenly all over the lawns. Disengage the beater bars and it'll lay material down in nice even strips ...perfect for veggie garden 'amendments'.

Not much grass here. Maybe 3/4ths an acre including the drainfield. The drainfield is well fertilized. The rest is wooded MX trail 😁
