I think they have starter fertilizer with weed prevention, not sure how well it works since it's not the same as regular fertilizer. Depending on the size of the area the sod idea wasn't a bad idea.
Was sunny at my house but I could see dark clouds west, I drove 3 miles west to the store and it was a torrential downpour, when I came home the ground was barely wet.
I have a spot a few miles from my house, its on top of a high hill and you can see for miles, when I go there's usually 3-4 other people up there for the same reason.
Looks like the rain is later Saturday, I have a dumpster to clean the house out to get ready for sale and don't want rain Saturday morning or early afternoon.
