My lawn had some pretty bad dead spots from the drought last year. Had several areas reseeded and I wanted to make sure it grew back. Looks fairly good now, just a few more weeds than usual since I couldn't put any fertilizer down until the grass was growing good.

I don't mess with the fertilizer any more... I'm on a schedule with one of the lawn service guys... Costs around $40 per application and I don't have to mess with storing that stinky stuff in the garage.

I have the General Grabber at2's and they have been good..

No problems and they are reasonably priced..

Plus they are rated high for wet and dry traction in the tire rack chart
