JustAGuy - That looks pretty good to me. Hopefully mine turns out just as good. The first store that I went to wanted $8.99/lb. I eventually found this half slab for $3.99/lb on sale for $2.99/lb. I see you left the skin on in picture 2. Did you take it off after smoking? That is the approach that ...

I have made "home made bacon". The hardest part for me was finding pork belly that wasn't extremely expensive. I cured mine for about a week. Then smoked it (not cold smoke) with apple and hickory chips, IIRC until it hit 165. Cutting it can be a PITA. It was some of the best tasting bacon I've had,...

Someone should really make a Tenacity calculator spreadsheet.

HLG, not too bad. You have been drawing the short straw on the high PH. IIRC the PH in your old house was higher.
Good luck with the new yard.

There was someone here from Temecula that did a reno with TTTF, so I wouldn't rule that out entirely.

I've been using the USB to hose adapter. Now I'll have to upgrade.

If you like that, Intel (and a couple other companies) have "windows on a stick" for a little over $100.

I think I have POA seeding. I'll try to get a picture soon. [ Post made via Android ] http://aroundtheyard.com/forums2/images/mobile/Android.png I KNOW I have POA seeding. I swear it hasn't stopped seed except for maybe a month this summer. It's one of the other reasons I bagged leaves this year.

Quick put your pre-M down.

Turned the compost pile. It it pretty hot.
I didn't mulch hardly any leave this year because of the new reno. So I've got about 2 cubic yards of leaf multch cooking.

I nearly spit my coffee out this morning when I read this.

Dropped winterizer yesterday just in time for the rain today.
There was no noticeable top growth this past week. We also had a couple days below 25F last week.

Didn't get full snow cover until November 24 when this pic was taken. ... Looks great! Nice, even color everywhere! Very white, though -- do you think that's due to tenacity bleaching? ;) LMAO :rotfl: [ Post made via Android ] http://aroundtheyard.com/forums2/images/mobile/Android.png

I initially thought it was a spoof and you were cutting outdoor carpeting.

I mowed and bagged today, and found a fare amount of grass clippings. I'll hold off another week and check again. I like to wait a couple weeks of no top growth before dropping urea.

[ Post made via Android ]

I'm excited about the rain. But why drop the urea so soon? Has your grass really stopped growing already in MA zone 7? I'm on the MA/NH border in zone 6a, and I'm still seeing growth across the board. I usually don't winterize until Thanksgiving or the beginning of December. I'm with you Tim. I'm i...

That looks pretty nice, it looks like the previous owner did some work.
Both samples look like you only need a few little tweeks.

There is one crabgrass seedling in the next picture, can you spot it?

I didn't even need to zoom in to see it.
BTW great job

How do you know to take the 32-degree data? I've seen frost at higher temps. I'm no expert but I'll try to explain what my father who is a farmer tried to teach me. Frost by definition is 32 degrees, however the warmer air rises and the cooler air settles by the ground, so the air temperature recor...
