5 February 2008 - 4:21Lawn care: Do you rake up the “dead” grass in the spring?

mystic_eye_cda asked:

I was raking up the miscellaneous left-over leaves, crab apples, and garbage from my lawn and of course some of the dead grass came up with it.

And I know (from looking around) that a lot of people rake up all the dead grass and then throw out bags and bags of it. And many people don’t. I’m not much of a gardener so I’m wondering…

What are the pros and cons of raking up the dead stuff vs leaving it to decompose on its own?

I thought you left it in the fall to protect the grass from the snow?

Did I mention I grew up in an apartment.

Mind you my lawn is 50% grass at best so why am I bothering =))

PS the grass gets composted by the city. I just don’t have space for that much compost.

2 February 2008 - 11:46Why doesn’t my Honda lawn mower start after replacing crankshaft?

abespat asked:

I replaced a crankshaft on my Honda HR216 Lawn Mower and now it doesn’t start. What did I do wrong? Replaced the spark plug and the air cleaner to no avail. HELP. With all this rain I will have to get a few goats to keep my lawn in good shape.
