Re: Over-Seeding and Weed Control Advice Needed for Zone 7a Lawn Recovery
Not sure if you have made any moves yet or not. I am not expert but if I were in your shoes I would seed the bare spots and over seed that entire strip of grass. I myself only over seed in the fall but that is because my yard is 5 acres and if we get a dry hot spell in the summer I can't keep it wat...

Re: Prodiamine WDG and rain
If it was one of those rains that brought 2 inches in an hour or so and the soil had been dry before I would say you have lost it. But if it was more of a constant rain over a long period of time, the course of a day, I think it is fine.

Re: Herbicide Shelf Life
When you say it gets cold, does it get below freezing in there? It can get cold in PA but some garages have enough insulation and residual warmth to keep from freezing.

Re: Roller?
I've rolled lawns with everything from pull behind water filled roller to a full size rented asphalt vibratory roller. All them them give temporary results and the next season after a freeze and thaw cycle things are back where they started.

Re: Rose question
Do they continue to grow (the footprint) every year or does the overall bush stay a certain size after all those years?

Re: Scotts question
I put the triple action down this morning. He didn't have many weeds so I am more concerned about the Fert and Pre M at this point. We are supposed to get some rain tomorrow evening. Depending on how things looks in a month or two I will hit it with 2 4 D then. I know the Pre M in this stuff doesn't...

Re: 2024: What Did You Do On Your Lawn Today (Cool Season)
Supposed to get some rain this coming Tuesday so I started putting my prodiamine down. It started to get too window so I stopped spraying. Still have about 2 acres to spray. Hopefully the wind dies down some in the next day or so. Not sure if it is too early, too late, or about right but since I tre...

Re: Weeping willow question
I had an old farmer tell me one time that staking trees makes them weak. He said being blown around when they are young makes them harder and hardier. He said it’s better to buy a smaller treee that isn’t tall enough to need stakes and sacrifice a year or two of height for a tree that is stronger in...

Re: Rose question
Might look into the knockouts. With my busy schedule a little more hands off is better for me.

Re: Weeping willow question
Sounds good. I left that one because (and I may have misread) your original response said you "might" cut the one off at 1:00 pm or maybe wait until next year. I did cut that one off and the one remaining was even higher then the one you said it might consider. Either way hopefully it will perk up. ...

Rose question
My grandmother (named Rose) passed away at the age of 97 recently. Over the winter I thought about some type of tribute and thought about some type of roses. I know zero about them. I have a spot up against my house in the front and thought about some type of trellis with some type of climbing rose ...

Weeping willow question
I have a weeping willow that was planted about 3 years ago. My neighbor planted one about the same time and his is doing a lot better then mine. He looked at mine and recommended I prune a lot of the branches of as they are near the ground. I don't know much about planting these trees but he said th...

Re: Dropping fert w/o rain
I have a large yard I treat without irrigation. My practice is to wait until soil temps get to around 50 degrees. Then I wait until the next forecasted rain. I use straight urea, and depending on what you are actually putting down will dictate how much you’ll lose by it sitting in the ground without...

Re: Plant Now?
I’ve always tried to get mine up and mowed at least one time (preferably twice) before the first frost. I would hold off personally.

Re: Do I need to wait to plant trees?
Tried finding an answer to this question on line and couldn't come up with anything. Everything I found talked about planting grass after applying. My assumption is that most of the herbicde is absorbed through the leaves which the new trees were not exposed to. It's been 24 hours since I sprayed th...
