First Yardwork of Fall - No Leaves Yet - Late September
Sadly, Summer is over and Fall has arrived. Fortunately, most of the trees are still green, and there are not many leaves on the ground yet. Cold weather is coming but it's not here yet!
My lawn is looking pretty good overall. We've had a couple of big rainstorms, plus I put down some grub killer and fertilizer, so things are getting nice and green. EXCEPT the few areas where skunks have dug up at night to eat the grubs! But those areas should be able to grow back before Winter.
Also, as you can see in the background of the video, my sunflowers are growing big and tall! Hopefully they can get a little taller before it gets too cold for them.
And one last thing, this channel just passed 1,000 subscribers last week and we are now monetized! I hope to keep making videos and keep growing the channel going forward. Leaf pickup season is coming, and I know you guys like those videos the most. And beyond that, if the Massachusetts snow drought finally ends this Winter, I'll be posting plenty of snow blowing videos too!

      @YardworkWithJohn 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Really? I've had excellent luck with this husqvarna trimmer. I don't know what model it is but its always started right up for me and ran great. It may help that this machine has had fresh gas and oil and seafoam mix in every tank its whole life. But it's probably 6 or so years old at this point and still runs like a champ. I also have a chainsaw attachment on it that I use once in a while. I want to get one of those sweeper attachments for it but they seem to be hard to find.

    Thankfully cordless machines are available now. I detest spending any amount of time trying to get my two stroke machines to work. I have the husqvarna 128 djx whacker and it is a POS. From day one it was a problem starter. I’ve spent more time trying to get it to run than actually doing work with it. Similar story with my husqvarna 450 chainsaw (though I had 3-4 good years initially). My husqvarna 843FR brush cutter has been a champ for 12 years. Can’t figure out why such a difference in performance between them? 🤷‍♂️

    • @YardworkWithJohn
      @YardworkWithJohn 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I've had nothing but trouble with every gas chainsaw I've ever owned. But this trimmer has always been an easy, reliable starter for years. And while I do see the benefit to electrics, my yard is big and there is a lot of edging to do all the way around. Plus I have a chainsaw attachment for this trimmer that I use a lot. So it works well for me. But if I had a smaller yard, I would definitely consider something electric.

  • @thangknowa3288
    @thangknowa3288 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

    When the lower unit does not go all the way up, slowly bump-bump-bump it softly up as you barely turn the prop just a little until it slips all the way up. Something turned the prop just a little, probably the garbage can, if NOTHING moves, they usually slip right in. When it doesn't, just a small fraction of a turn, and pop, it goes in. Motor should be in reverse in this process. Also, next time antiseize the bolts.

      Well its hard to say because when you're filming, everything takes forever. And then I had to wait for the gaskets to arrive because I didn't pre-order though because I was hoping to reuse the old ones but that didn't happen. So for me it took a few weeks. But if I had to do it again this season, I could probably bust it out in two hours.

    Bag or mulch? What’s your preference

    • @YardworkWithJohn
      @YardworkWithJohn หลายเดือนก่อน

      Mulch 100%! It's great when the lazier option is the better way to do it! The only time I bag is if there is a weed outbreak and those weeds are seeding. Like back when I was still battling large areas of crabgrass in my yard. I would bag those areas then mulch the rest. I think my first mow of the year this year, I bagged because we get this weird early spring weed that sprouts up everywhere. But once it gets warm, it goes away. Oh also getting rid of your bagged clippings is also a pain in the suburbs. We only have yardwaste pickup once a month. Plus grass clippings are smelly and heavy. I used to have to periodically drain stink water out of my grass clippings. It was such a pain, I'm so glad I don't have to mess with that any more!

      Off or ON? To get it off, all you have to do is undo the bolts and then tap it off and it should slide right out. Is it possible you are missing a bolt or two? Putting it in neutral or drive only has to do with reassembly, not taking it apart.
