Grass Killer! (accidentally on purpose though, I promise!)

 
     You guys are probably so sick and tired of hearing about my free products, but I have something else to share with you guys anyway. Thanks to BzzAgent I was able to receive an  AMDRO^® PowerFlex^® Pest & Weed System   to test and review.  So far it has helped with our ant problem outside and has certainly kept them from attempting to venture inside as well, thankfully! I know it is only the very beginning of the warm weather to come and that the ants will turn up many times still but at least I know I have something that is going to make a barrier for a couple months minimum!



Here is the funny part of this story though! We have had a horrid weed problem since before we even moved into the house.  Once we did move in, we realized the sprinklers were broken.  Our landlord wasn't willing to pay to have them fixed and pretty much forced us to hand water the yards which led to pretty burnt grass and LOTS of weeds taking over with speckles of green here and there.  When I received the Amdro system it had not only pest control cartridges for indoors and outdoors but it also had a Weed killer as well as a Lawn & Weed killer.  Well, eager to test it my boyfriend asked me to load in one of the two weed killer cartridges while he filled the container with the required water.  Well....yeah, I loaded the Weed Killer alright.  So he sprayed away and the next day we gasped when we realized the lawn was even more brown than it already was, and that even the greenish spots were now a brown shade.

I checked the sprayer and realized I accidentally grabbed the Lawn & Weed killer instead of just the Weed killer! YIPES!!! Well, this is all good anyway because we are now going to till up the mess of dead grass make sure the ground is prepped to go and then spread some new resistant grass seed! Hopefully this works and our front yard won't be the eyesore of the community anymore!

I have pictures from before we sprayed and after and honestly can't wait to update with after, after photos when we have a nice lush lawn again! Can't wait to walk barefoot through it, I miss the feeling of cool, wet greenery under foot and between my toes! I will keep you all updated for SURE!
