Had my Omni E25 for over a year and love it. But for some reason, it does not like cleaning the living room very well. These images are with an absolutely clean carpet and clean sensors. Anyone else experience this?
I got my house exactly 1 year ago I had immediately wanted to fix the grass. It was summer time already and well...I had to start planning for the following season. I binged watched all the YouTube videos to the point of never wanting to watch another. I collected info from many sources and decided to apply it. Resilience 2 TTTF was the way to go.
March 7th - I nuked the lawn with glyphosate and a marking dye with a 2gal pump sprayer (now upgraded to Ego backpack sprayer). Because I'm in Northern NV zone 7a/b, the glypho and germination took a long time.
March 21 - Seed was spread and peat moss rolled out. Night time temps were low 40s, day time mid-low 60s
April 4th - GERMINATION. Every day after coming home from work, checking the grass was #1 then saying "Hi" to my Wife was #2! Also decided to ditch the spray head nozzles on my sprinklers and switch over to RVAN 18 rotary nozzles. Much better! Night temps 35-40F, day temps mid 50s.
May 4th - It really started coming in, I was stoked! Night temps mid 50s, day temps 60-70s - rocket ship time!
May 30th - First hair cut and god damn was I proud!
Today, June 28th - Last 4 photos were a few hours ago.
If you made it through this...you can do it too. I found love and passion for lawn care. Up next...front lawn.
Northern Nevada. ~10% humidity and mid 90s. What's your best guess?
Northern Nevada, 97° and 8% Humidity

I'm proud of my new lawn, but I am discovering several areas of soil compaction due to some grass showing drought like symptoms and obvious compaction with a screw driver test. Sandy soil, newly established lawn, Resilience 2 TTTF.
​
Is it not advised to go ahead and do some core areating with my new manual core aeration tool? The weather wont be easing up as our summers are VERY dry and UV index maxed out.

Photo 1 - What most of the lawn looks like and passes the screw driver test
Photo 2 - Localized photo of compacted area and similar to other areas in the lawn that exhibit compaction
Photo 3 - More general view with good/compaction areas.
​
I've noticed that a decent portion of my lawn hasn't been able to grow at the rate of my more healthy areas and still hasn't been cut due to stunted growth.
​
Should I wait to aerate my lawn in fall at the cost of potentially allowing parts of my lawn to die due to not getting enough water OR go ahead and send it?
​
I have great coverage with all my sprinklers
This is my first time ever growing a lawn from seed and I think I did well. Resilience 2 TTTF first mow 8 weeks after seeding! Northern Nevada!
