I bought a house with three acre lot last fall. I have about two acres of grass. Do any of you with this much grass actually fertilize or treat for weeds? Just the initial fertilizing with crabgrass preventer would cost me about $250, not to mention the time to apply it all. I can get a spreader to tow behind my riding mower for $30 to $70.
I thought about the need for a riding mower and the time to cut the grass when I bought a multi-acre lot, but I never thought about the extra cost for weed control and fertilizer.
