If you want to clean it up easily, pick up one of these...

I picked one up ~15 years ago and while it doesn't get used much, it really makes it easy to clean up all the dead grass/weeds. It will leave the area black until a good rain, but it has the added benefit of roasting all the remaining seeds.... Its good fun at dusk too.
I have just shy of 1/4 acre of gravel with the driveway... everything will brown out in the summer and this just makes for an easy way to do a full clear of the gravel --- weed wack and burn.

On a potentially related note, I kind of got in trouble a few times as a kiddo. My father smoked cigarettes, and I'd ask him if he actually enjoyed smoking them... Because it looked like a habit, not a pleasure.
Who wants to hear shit like that from a 12 year old right?
I learned the trick of removing the bullet from a 22 rimfire cartridge and finding nifty things to do with the powder.
The gunpowder does not look like cigarette ash, but who stares at the ashes in an ashtray to really check them out?

My dad started really examining the ash tray before he'd roll the ash off the tip. In my naive 12-year-old way I thought that I was doing him a favor by livening up his day occasionally..

When I was a kid I remember dogs died from old age and parvo.

Now tons of dogs die from cancer. I wont spray that shit anywhere on my property, ever.

When Im driving around I can smell that shit a mile away when someone has sprayed weedkillers. Bad shit.

One of my good friends lost his dad to the same kinda cancer that roundup causes. He was a super landscape guy and used GALLONS of that poison. Doc recommended my friend get a lawyer.

Wouldn’t recommend if you wanna keep your health insurance rates down either.

I've been working on perfecting my DIY weedkiller.

The look in her eye always cracks me up!
