Lava Rock

So I'll just say our $10K lawn project last Fall looks terrible. Pic tells the tale.

Does the lescos phase 2 have clover killer? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

I told my wife to take a picture now cause it's the best the lawn will look all year. Only goes downhill from here.

Anyone know what these lovely weeds are? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Hmm, Lesco guy told me to re-apply more of the dimension/pre-emergent stuff, presumably step 1 on memorial wknd. I basically put down the pre-emergent around 3.5 weeks ago. He said if I had any left to put it down this wknd. I do in fact have ~1/2 bag that I was going to spread out using a light setting. Should I skip this and go right to step 2? If so, has enough time elapsed (~3.5wks) between step 1 and 2 to put #2 down?

1st wave was a dud. not a drop.

lol, yes it's ridiculous the effort i put into the yard and it still looks like crap for the most part. my wife thinks i'm nuts for caring so much. A for effort though.

I slit seeded some kbg last Fall and it only grew maybe 0.5" then stopped. Looking at it now it looks the same. I know kyb takes some time to grow but shouldn't it be growing now? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

thanks. I've told the guy to hold off till sept. I will rotatill as well.

thanks for crushing my dreams.

I should probably wait till Fall at this point, but hoping to lay down fresh loam and hydroseed this backyard mess soon. I can't tolerate another summer of this disgusting mess

carb probably has a plugged jet. Easy enough to check.

Thanks. I have a Scott's basic spreader. #6 worked out pretty well Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

Don't worry, bought the lescos at John Deere. Got it done. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

this is 19-0-0 stuff with dimension.

Are all settings the same for Scott's spreaders? I'm not sure of my model. It holds about 25lbs Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

what's the best way to gauge fert application with a rotary spreader? I've used a small Scotts rotary for years, but I don't use Scotts fert, so the dial # is meaningless for other types of fert. I picked up some Lescos today and will spread tonight. One bag covers 11,000sqft. I know my yard's dimensions and can get a general sense of how far one bag will go, but have no idea on the rotary dial #. Halfway open, 1/4, 1/3???? In the past, I've just winged it and hoped I didn't run out or put too much down for the given area.

hoping the "showers" up here will cut it.

Of course, I wait till this weekend for putting down fert and no rain beyind today for a week. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

just up the road from me. They'll get a nice fine for not having a permit.
