I think the problem with Vinegar is that its mostly a surface kill. It will most likely go brown pretty quick, but I don't think it gets to the roots for a total kill, so it will just come back. Not just poison ivy, but any thing you are trying to get rid of. I am all ears too for a natural solution that actually works and kills down to the roots.

This is the most blue sky I have seen in 8-9 days.. even bright overcast has been a win.

Mine was really old and most likely very inefficient so probably skewing my opinion a bit, guessing the 2025 versions are certainly a little better.

I'm up in your neck of the woods on I-91, legit lowest VIS I maybe have ever driven in, literally dark as night/insane rates had to pull off. Crazy CGs and trees swaying. Cars going 10mph.

No, definitely more of a learning curve. You don't just pop them in like a standard unit. There is YouTube video that has step by step if you need it. I get them quick now after doing it a season or two.

I have 4 units, its amazing how much more efficient they are at cooling my house. Keeps whole house comfortable. Previously had 3 older window units and a Portable AC it's laugable how much better the Midea's are. The Portable AC was absolutely awful.

That's insane coverage for what looks like pretty dense shade come full leaf out. Definitely looks good, but like you said will be interested to see it towards Aug/Sept.

I would stop the tilling. You are bringing up more and more weed seeds every time you till. At this point just try to level the lawn as best you can, it might be hard without machinery to get it mostly level without bumps. I would seed, but just FYI you are going on have to water alot to get it to survive through summer. You will definitely have alot of weeds coming up with the grass seed too that you will have to tackle along the way or after the grass is established. There are certain fertilizers you can use at seeding that also help prevent weeds from germinating(it won't stop them all).

Kind of shocked your mower didn't bog down cutting that stuff.

He took over the first mow role from that poster from coastal RI who had that house on the water with a big southern facing hill. Dude was mowing in March every year it seemed.

Tall Fescue thrives the best in part shade. Jonathan Green has a mix that is all Tall Fescue I believe. I'm sure Lesco does too. If it is full shade, then nothing will grow there well (as far as grasses--Bluegrass, fescue, ryegrass). Still will need 4-6 hours of sunlight for it to thrive.

Lawn was green right into the first snow seems like. This is NOV 4th.

I dont think we steined like you guys did, but would have to check. Its definitely snowcover related. This is pretty unusual, its normally not this green. This is the first time living here I went wall to wall snowcover though too. (Outside of a couple days in JAN. My backyard has full snow cover still.

Section of my front yard going quick down to grass this week. Prob 70 percent green, with some snow mold too. Assuming the non stop snow cover from Nov helped.

Really don't know how these 3 came away with just minor injuries, small plane into the side of Mt Equinox and minor injuries is crazy. https://www.wmtw.com/article/vermont-plane-crash-equinox-mountain-manchester/63935470

Tried to get mailbox cleaned out, no shot with that shovel, it's a brick.

Can let him confirm, but I think West Wardsboro. Great pack retention area.

I would guess somewhere in NVT. Looks like JSpin had 18.8" which is highest I see on Cocorahs so far. We'll see when BTV puts out there 2 day PNS totals report. I would guess there might a 20" spot in there.

7" here since 7PM. Absolutely nuking.

Yea, this was downslope special for western slopes here up through RUT. Any strong LP that cuts west of here always brings the winds it seems.

I lived here 11 years and this might have been the biggest wind assault I can remember. 8 hours straight and gusts to 57mph. 3 inches at 7AM and then just sideways snow/sleet for hours and hours. Crazy part is it was definitely confined to immediate western slopes, in Manchester town center it was almost calm, maybe 10mph literally couple miles away.

Yes

Just started here in SVT after some virga. Pretty much all snow grains at the moment.
