The Scott's Edgeguard Mini is great for small lawns.

Yeah, the big bag of stuff looks like what you'd use to treat a whole yard.

I get the white jug of bait that says on the container that it's good for applying directly to the nests. If you have more than a dozen ant mounds on your property, you may have to treat the whole yard with a spreader like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Scotts-Builder-EdgeGuard-Broadcast-Spreader/dp/B002YPS1KK/

Or just nuke 'em from orbit. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hello fellow cheesehead!

I agree with the others here that a sprinkler is not where you should start. I made a conscious effort last year to monitor rainfall totals and used a sprinkler whenever there was less than 1" of rain per week. It helped keep my lawn a bit greener than the neighbors who didn't water, but not a huge difference.

If you're just getting started, I would recommend some other purchases first:

  1. Collapsible Gardening Bag - cheap and doesn't take up much space when collapsed. I use mine all the time for weeding or collecting fallen sticks/rock/etc before mowing.

  2. Broadcast Spreader - if you're going to be throwing down fert, pre-emergent granules, or seed and have a lawn of any size, I think a broadcast spreader is a worthwhile investment. If you have a bigger lawn, you might opt for a larger one, but this model works fine for my average-sized lawn.

  3. Stand-up Weeder - this was for my wife whose knees aren't great, but I've used it a few times and it works fairly well.

  4. Mower Blade Sharpener - Some people like taking their mower blades to get professionally sharpened, but this hand tool is pretty inexpensive and gets my blade pretty sharp. You'd be surprised how much of a difference a sharp mower blade can make.

    Other than that, my only other piece of advice is to not neglect pre-emergent and grub preventer. Pre-emergent has saved me a ton of weeding and the one year I didn't use grub preventer I lost a sizable patch of lawn near my mailbox to grubs, which now I need to seed this spring.

    Good luck with the lawn this year!
