We had grubs the previous season, and a new dog that was a mad man tore the backyard up last fall. A lot of bad patches of bare dirt, and some holes to fill from him digging. I was lazy and decided to just throw the seed out on the bare ground and let nature do its thing. The dog was banned from the back yard for the first two weeks, and I did water it the first week, but that was all the attention it got. My wife kept saying there was nothing and that I had wasted my time. Hah. About two weeks later they started sprouting, and a good portion of them germinated. There is at least some grass in the bare patches and Grub-ex has helped eliminate the initial problem, so I'm glad I did it. I'll spread some more to help fill in, and have no doubt that it will work as expected. The areas were both full sun and mostly shade, and did equally well in both.

The tools in this leatherman are great. The screwdrivers are easily accessed and the belt loop is robust. The blade is excellent quality, but I have a serious complaint. Despite the thumb bolt, this knife is very difficult to open one handed. There point of a one handed open is to make it easy to access a knife very quickly and with minimal effort or thought. That is not possible on this knife. I tried a lot to make this knife smoother to open, I even worked it open and closed for an hour and it seemed to bind up rather than get looser. They may have made it this way intentionally to prevent it from accidentally opening while flopping around on your belt loop, so at least the decision makes sense. My advice to leatherman: get rid of the loop, make the blade a quick open like kershaw, with a pointer finger assist so I can buy my dream multi tool from the American company with the best warranty in the business.
