Re: Hurricane Ida

Ida is due to drop 4 inches on the Island so have delayed overseeding by a week again. I was delayed previously by Henri too.

Re: August 15: "Start of Fall Season"

8/15 is a guide, albeit a useful one.

The popular youtubers (GCI, LCN, Knorr, Connor etc) all have videos about overseeing with aeration included as a step in the process.

Re: TTTF Seed recommendation Long Island NY

Re: Post emergent crabgrass killer approved in NY

Chaps, as we approach the crucial overseeding period, could you kindly recommend a pre emergent available in New York when sowing TTTF? I have a few precious drops of the old tenacity which would suffice at a pinch, I suppose. With much advanced thanks, LongIslander.
