My husband grew grass like a golf course & one of his secrets was adding top soil lightly over grown grass ( you would think it would kill it but it came in thicker and healthier). He was an avid golfer so he would ask the greens keepers their secrets😊. Jenna the videos are getting better & better keep up the great editing & videography!❤🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s

    Great video guys, happy to see you finally spend sometime at home catching up on projects. Fall has always been my favorite time of year especially with all the colors. Tell Ted he makes a fantastic supervisor and as far as the tarp l learned happy wife happy life. Just wondering how the bees did this year and when is the best time to prepare them for winter. I also learned that grass is hard to grow not just because of being shady but pine needles are extremely acidic and hinder the growth of grass, if you plant clover it helps because the clover adds nitrogen to the soil and breaks down the acid in the soil. Have an awesome weekend and a great week to all of you.

    • @TheLiFeInPines
      @TheLiFeInPines  Рік тому +2

      Thank you, Joe! Yes it feels like we haven’t been to the project house in forever but this stuff at home had to be done asap! I think this is the first time I’ve truly enjoyed fall. The weather has been pretty nice! (Last year it snowed on Oct 7th!)
      Haha happy wife happy life! Yes! He’s not too proud to admit when I’m right, either.
      Bees did good! We got 6.5 gallons of DARK honey! (Stay tuned for honey harvest!) Ted is wintering them differently this year and I’m sure we’ll do a video on it! He’s already begun winter preparation for them.
      Yes grass is hard to grow here bc of the acidic soil from the pine needles! We sweep them up every year to help, and we just got some lime to put down to help with the PH. Interesting about the clover! I think someone also suggested blueberries! We have tons of wild ones on our property, but I think we’ll pick up some clover seed as well! Thanks for the tip! Have a great weekend!
