Re: HoosierDaddy 2024 Soil Test

Thanks, I have definitely not used a balanced fert before so I will look into those. Usually Milo in the Spring, Urea or AS in the fall.

Summer Patch is under control now and I do not have any real areas of concern at the moment. I will continue Compa...

Re: 2024: What Did You Do On Your Lawn Today (Cool Season)

Pulled samples, drying them out before sending to Logan. First time I can remember that I don't have any spots to transplant plugs into. I usually pull a 4" plug to get the sample then transplant into a needed spot. Just filled in some soil and put the plug back. General walkthrough to see any spots...

Seedheads here as well... Continued to mow @ 2.5", sprayed Serenade. Will consider first N app of the season and putting down DiseaseX for SummerPatch prevention soon.

Re: HoosierDaddy 2023 Soil Test

Thanks Andy, very happy with the OM number. It's been a work in progress. I am going to go through and see what it looks like over time. I'll be using Milo early season and Urea for fall apps again.

Thanks again!

Re: 2022: What Did You Do On Your Lawn Today?

Mowed and put down first Serenade app. Cold and wet right now, but heat coming next week. Gearing up to tackle my neighbor's weeds while he's on vacation. I might accidentally put down a KelpHelp/Shampoo app on his lawn too :D

New battery powered blower

For my small property, the 20v Black and Decker I had was mostly fine. But every once in awhile, I just wanted something more. So treated myself for my birthday: https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-40V-HP-Brushless-Whisper-Series-190-MPH-730-CFM-Cordless-Battery-Jet-Fan-Leaf-Blower-with-2-4-0-Ah-Batte...

Re: Forsythia line

Big difference in just my neighborhood. The one I usually keep an eye on has just started blooming, but it only gets late evening sun. One that is south facing near a brick house is full on bloomed already. Think my neighbors would mind if I took temperatures in their yards near their Forsythia, jus...

Re: HoosierDaddy 2022 Soil Test

Thanks Morph! I will keep adding OM as I can. Considering where I started (2014 was 1.5%) I am happy with the direction. I usually fertilize with Milorganite until the fall regimen, turning to Urea. Should I consider something different that has some potassium in it? I have the 20 mules if I need to...

Re: Repair, Reseeding and nitrogen

I had a late seed down on my second reno. It ended up successful, eventually. I did not go overboard in the fall, but hit it hard in the Spring. The Philes method helped a lot. Alfalfa, Milk, Plugs also in my arsenal. You can see my reno log here: https://aroundtheyard.com/forums2/viewtopic.php?f=13...

Re: 2021: What Did You Do On Your Lawn Today?

Trim and mow.. lawn is waking up quite nicely with the warmth and rain of last week. Cooler weather coming. I noticed a few spots of what might be Poa Annua. Will treat soon. Also keeping an eye on soil temps in Summer Patch areas to hit proactively.
