best lawn mower for steep hills image
buket787
Almost overnight, I suddenly have had mushrooms sprout all over my front lawn. I have small round brown ones scattered, and large rippled white ones growing along with a few other different kinds. My front yard is on a very steep hill and its always sunny since there are no trees. How can I stop them from growing or kill them? I live in Colorado around Denver if that makes a difference.
Answer
Enjoy them. I used to live in Denver. It is so dry usually that mushrooms come and go in a day or two at the most. But I see your problem.
They grow mostly on cellulose matter, but nitrogen will sometimes spur their growth. If you use a fertilizer or mulch or compost on the lawn, then stop. If there are leaves from the trees, or too much shading, consider getting rid of the trees. If you use a mulching mower, that leaves cellulose on the ground.
Like I said, this is not a long term problem in Denver. I guess you have had a lot of rain this year, which is the root of the problem. Rake them up once and you might never see them again.
Here is another thing you can try. They like an acidic environment, so if you have wood ash or know someone who does, scatter that on your lawn very lightly, maybe a little more heavily where you have had mushrooms come up. Wood ash has extremely high pH. Higher than baking soda.

Madam Sass
okay so i was paid 20 bucks by my dad to mow our lawn and me have a lot of yard with some big steep hills and no riding lawn mower. so i do it then i come inside and get something to snack on. i feel sore because my stomach was hurting so i flexed and my stomach muscles where hurting really bad then my shoulder then my back. im only 14 but do u think i strained my muscles while mowing?
Answer
NO I think you may have used some muscles that you don't normally use (by texting on your cell or playing video games on the couch) But if you keep active those muscles won't stay sore for long. Your rider does not have the same type of suspension as a car so it will tend to "jerk" you around a bit more also. If this is a problem ask your dad if you can do the lawn with a self propelled "push mower" instead but then your legs might be sore from walking (up and down those big hills) Best that you ask for a raise for doing this chore maybe like $25 instead?....R
