Re: llO0DQLE Front Lawn 2022

Hi KNN,

Yes you're right. I hammered it with spoon feeding synthetic N, some Milo and lots of irrigation and this is where we are now.

It's looking pretty decent but still a long ways away from what it once was. In time it will get there.

llO0DQLE Front Lawn 2022

So I've been away for a while, lawn has been neglected for 3 years due to personal life circumstances. The front lawn was reno'd to a monostand of Bewitched in 2018. https://i.postimg.cc/x1FbfHkN/20220603-205312.jpg I've done nothing to the lawn since 2019 and the state of things at the start of the...

Re: Looking for CURRENT feedback regarding Honda HRX Suction Issues

See my recent dealings with my dealer and Honda Customer Relations. 1:46pm today 10/8/19 https://aroundtheyard.com/forums2/viewtopic.php?t=22616&start=40 Wow, that is crazy! Hmm... I will have to make sure the dealer will be willing to take it back if I am unsatisfied when I do decide to buy one.

idk..I just read the articles here and applied the basics and voila! Nice lawn. lol really it seems to be that simple to me. Proper mowing, watering and fertilizing. Most have KBG, feed it ~6-8lbs N/M per year including winterizer, use as much organic sources, pre M at the start of the year (if not...

Re: Tell us about your experiences helping neighbors

If anybody asks me for tips, I first say you need to cut your lawn every 3 days and water 1-2hrs once a week (we don't get much rain here, except for this year! Been raining everyday for the past 3-4 weeks now). If they are still interested after that, then I go over the basics without getting too c...

Re: Is any particular type of grass darker than the rest (all else being equal)?

I have no idea. I have no first hand experience. I just seem to recall TT saying that. He said that Bewitched was very dark by year 2 or 3 and surpassed Blueberry. Bewitched does seem to be light green in year 1. I also seem to recall TT saying that Midnight was not even a contender.

Re: Is any particular type of grass darker than the rest (all else being equal)?

In your experience, which KBG cultivars are darker than Bewitched? I recall TT saying it's darker than Midnight and Blueberry. In fact, I think he said Midnight was lightest of the three. But this is at year 2 or 3 or older.

(even though the darkest TTTF today is "only" about the same as "Bewitched" in color)
Are you saying Bewitched is lighter than most KBG cultivars?

I still haven't pulled the trigger due to a bunch of unforeseen circumstances and expenses. I'm not sure when I will end up buying one. Thanks for your feedback, it is reassuring!

We know that Tenacity doesn't kill Quack, but do you think low mowing plus Tenacity might help stress the Quack even more?

Yes. All the bells and whistles. Nice! Yeah that's the one I would like to get too but it's $1,100 Canucks here. Ouch. Now, the top of the line HRR is ~$300 less but only 160cc. Is that worth considering or would you strongly advice to get the HRX if money wasn't an issue? I mean, I can afford the ...
