You can (probably shouldn't yet depending on your level of frost) do any type of thatching now, but wait on your premergent weed product until May. Grub products should go out around July.

This is still early for thatching IMO, as there's still a lot of frost in the ground (at least in downeast there is). Working frozen/semi frozen turf can and will shear off your roots at the frost line when the top inch or so is soft. Then you're negating anything you do.

Any and all seeding and aeration NEED to be done before you get your premergent down, as seed won't establish in the early weeks after pre-em. Aeration creates passages for weeds to grow through the "blanket" that pre-em creates.

Be careful following what the landscapers do, as some are looking to do pre-em early so they get to come around and charge you to attempt to kill 7 tiller crabgrass with the pea shooter arsenal they have.

no property tax but you need to take out a loan to reg. a car lol

Right like being taxed on food and clothing ...I will say it again ,Maine is a highly taxed expensive state to live in

Lmao @ people on reddit saying there’s no bad parts of portland ; while asking why there’s guns on the ground? Can’t make this shit up

I drove that beast up from South Carolina. No joke

Yeah good point. I will be less concerned with random guns in my neighborhood, as long as the police are taking pictures of them.

r/fucklawns would like a word.

Good n’ you?

Return it bullet-first?

Seeing a random gun =/= seeing a police scene you’re not involved with and asking what’s up.

You may have looked into this policy already, but it's a very important one for future homesteaders to keep in mind if you're buying to develop yourself. Mainers have put a lot of land into "tree growth" to protect our undeveloped land from being built on. Even new owners will have to pay the taxes and fees associated with moving land "out of tree growth" and start tearing down the trees, most commonly if you are looking to buy anywhere northern and truly rustic.

From all my personal research as a local looking to do the same one day, it's a fairly hefty cost.

Each town varies and unincorporated townships get even trickier. There can be some pretty extreme differences dependent on where you're looking to build and live. You'd likely be better off choosing a couple interesting areas with land for sale in that range and looking into the individual municipal codes, or at least noting these locations in this or a future post, or you'll start getting incorrect info and potentially town specific information for a place you don't see yourself in the long run.

He's a big Don Knotts fan

Drug problem. Wife drug me here. She is from SoPo. Good chance we know each other just sayin.

SWEET BBQ PLEASE! Thank y’all for making real ass chips. It makes buying local easy when it tastes that good.

I saw that, pretty far away from where the gun was, but maybe.

Yeah it's true. If you see random guns lying in the street near where you live you are nosy.

u wild lmao ‘too nosy’ yo ass probably dropped the gun

Yeah I saw that but it was pretty far away from there.

How're ya now?

Definitely have your right to prefer one to the other, of course. I was just curious because it might seem to you that you would have different rules in New England but in reality they could be more similar than you realize to upstate in many towns. But I suppose you have most likely done your homework on that, I just don't have the foggiest in what you are referencing exactly.

August.

Starting to sound quite a bit like all dressed chips there.

Mardens. Go there.

All dressed! I'm not Canadian but they absolutely know what's up with these.

You may want to look at towns that are “townships” in Maine—no organized govt and generally less strict with rules. But like others are saying, it’s really going to come down to the town-level regs.
