tombo82685 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Is there a time limit to wait to put down seed after you use products like weed b gone and nut sedge killer? Yes, usually 2-3 mowings. I wouldn't even treat the nutsedge till next summer, its at the end of the road for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amarshall Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Good news is that my chemical burns are bouncing back. Aerated yesterday. Aeration sucks. Had a great chat with woman at Lesco. I was trying to buy some of their high traffic park seed. Its wicked expensive $165. She said go to Home Depot. They now carry Lesco seed and its the same formulation seed. Its cheaper per lb than she can sell it there for smaller quantities. Definitely have a grub problem on one side of the house. The previous owners said the "spot treated" for grubs.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 JG Black Beauty and Fall Magic came in about the 4th to 5th day. Percentage that germinated far higher than anything I've ever used prior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I think they'll be digging for the pool next week. I suppose that's one way to lessen the burden of mowing. Fortunately it's being placed in an area where the lawn tends to struggle a bit (actually, I have a lot of those places). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Wow., some deep deep green for the fall season Looks good. One thing--it appears you have difficulty driving a straight line. I think I did my last mowing of the season yesterday. IPerhaps I'll need to do another, but I'm hoping I can call it quits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Inground? Yeah--dollars to donuts there's going to be ledge requiring, ftfl (for the financial loss). I have no desire for this--wife wins out. Funny how that works. Bought two guinea pigs last night. I have no desire for these--daughter wins out. Funny how that works.

Baroclinic Zone Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Nicely done, Bob. Quite the transformation. Thanks Less lawn to mow with the pool going in. Earlier this week, just prior to encountering enormous ledge, ftl. Ledge shots? Did they blast? Llooks solid, hit it with some food if you haven't been already Thanks. I did use a starter on it to help it establish. That was 35 days ago. Still have some left that I could use on it. I still have to put down my last feeding which I was waiting to put down after mid-month or so. My main lawn has slowed it's growth but is still growing some. I usually wrap up my mid-Nov on my season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
