Star 99.9’s Making of a Lawn with Kevin Begley

We are live from Kevin's backyard for the Making of a Lawn season finale! Chris and Kevin kick back on the patio and talk about how the lawn is looking since the season started back in April and what it took to get the grass looking like it does. Kevin invited some coworkers over for burgers, dogs, and lawn games so we get their opinion on the lawn too. We also dive into our favorite lawn games and best cookout foods. Thanks for listening all season long. Hopefully your lawn is looking just as good as Kevin's. 

This week Kevin talks about the big scare he had with something that happened to his grass. Chris explains why it looks so scary and what it actually is. We then get into the crazy thing about the turf at the Women's World Cup. How your lawn should look in spring, summer, and fall. Then we preview the big season finale episode that will be recorded during a cookout at Kevin's house!

In episode 5 Kevin explains the mowing trick he discovered while mowing his lawn recently and how his lawn is looking up against the neighbors. Chris talks about the different kinds of bugs and insects that good and bad for your grass. Including the one insect that can destroy everything. Also, the movie Caddyshack comes up more than a few times. 

This week Chris was in the area so he swung by the studio to record a post-Memorial Day Weekend episode with Kevin. They recap each of their holiday weekend cookouts, explain how mowing designs happen, and discuss the do's and don't of summer watering. Plus, the one thing you DO NOT want to do if you're using organic fertilizer. Christ tells a hilarious cautionary tale.
