Last year I really didn't do much to the lawn. I'll pick up the pace and follow the plan. Thanks.

Here's the link to my 2016 soil test. Thanks.

Bumping this up. Thanks.

This is year 5 following the advice on this site although the last 2 years I have not had much time and have only done the basics- N a few times a year, spray FE, shampoo a few times, fall pre-emergent, and some Tenacity in the spring. The drought was tough this year, but the lawn has held up pretty...

Ocean State Job lot has (had) some that are about waist high for $2.50 each. I bought a couple, should have bought more.

Do you have a hose-end sprayer? Have you read the Kelp Help article? 4oz Kelp Extract and 8oz Humic Acid Extract mixed in 2 gallons of water will last a long time, and is much cheaper. I make enough to fill a 1 gallon milk jug, easy to store.

I am due for a Boron/Manganese application. How does it mix with Nitrogen- do they need to be separated? If so, I am thinking of skipping it in favor of the fall Nitrogen applications.

I searched, but could not find an answer to this. I think it is recommended to wait 2 weeks after applying lime to apply nitrogen. Does this include Bay State or just Urea? What are the negative effects if applied too close together?

Here's a site I use. UMass puts out a weekly message broken down by sections of Massachusetts.

No pics yet. Trees are flowering, so it looks like there is snow on the lawn for the next week.

Thank you!

This is the second spring post-reno. I wanted to update the progress. This reno is small, with two sections separated by a walkway. I treated each side differently in 2013, so I'll update both separately. Left Side Spring 2013- I had approximately 10-20% POA Annua in the spring of 2013. I hit it wit...

On the ferts I can get SOP and Espoma Triple Phosphate. What are the application rates?

I have leftover micro's from last year, so I'm good to go there.

I will take a look at what I can get for fertilizer.

I have plenty of Bay State and will work on the iron.

Thanks for the analysis.

I think I fixed it.

The sampling process was pretty much identical to 2013. The only thing I did differently this year was to remove debris from the bag of soil- pebbles, sticks, roots, etc. The part of the yard that was tested is 2,200 sqft broken in to two sections, one reno'd in 2012 (700 sqft), and the other reno'd...

Beginning year 3 of following the advice on this site. Thanks in advance for your analysis. http://s19.postimg.cc/kwpmncbc3/sb_soil_may14.jpg Here are the links to previous soil reports 2013 Logan Labs http://s19.postimg.cc/igsen8in7/sb_soil_apr13.jpg 2013 Thread http://aroundtheyard.com/soil/2013-s...

Not really growing yet, but the color is good (Blueberry 70%, Midnight 15%, and Prosperity 15%). Can see that annua is going to be an issue, very apparent against the dark green grass. No winter kill, but ~10% bare spots that didn't germinate in the fall. Can't wait to watch them fill-in.

I did have some, but it wasn't as noticeable in a mixed lawn I guess. It also seems to be mostly around the trees, same as my '12 reno.

Week 10 / Day 56 This picture was taken just after a mowing. The light spots are Tenacity bleaching. It looks like I have some Annua. I didn't get anything to germinate during 24 days of fallowing, so I believe it could be in the seed??? I also used Tenacity at seeding. It is sod quality seed from o...
