Re: Sept 20 Update - No signs of Life

Did you do any spraying right before this started to turn so massively brown? Accidently put some Round Up in the tank?

Latest and greatest

Over the past couple years, I have noticed people jumping on the bandwagon for products from "N-Ext" .

Anyone use their products and can say it's a game changer?

Just asking what are your secrets to keep your nice and dense Emblem lawn from fungal pressure since you cut higher than most homeowners and have shady areas.

Re: Late Start, But Nice Progress: Andy10917 Photo

I'll bite, what are you doing to increase shade tolerance? It's a combo of things that I call HFAT, which I hope to take to final testing with a few members next year. Sorry, but no details being published yet. What is the HOC in the pic? What HOC do you plan for July? 4" and 4". The "Emblem" culti...

Rxrep,

How are the neighbors' renovations holding up? If I recall correctly, you did a couple of them a few years ago.

Very nice! Too modest to say 7.5.

What mower did you use to cut? Nice even cut and minimal wheel tracks,.

Re: KBG going to seed

Lasted about 2 weeks for me this year. Sharp mower blade and some fertilizer helped in recovery from the stemmy look and loss of density from the turf's s expenditure of energy to produce the seedheads.

Cutting every 2 days ?

Does this stress out a homeowner lawn when trying to encourage tillering and spreading during months of April and May ?

Yup - I'm even seeing recovery from dormancy in the too-short lawns in my area. It's definitely happening...
Last weekend was nice....but mother nature is planning to throw a curve early next week in my area of NJ. Low 90's daytime and 72-75 at night.

Disease pressure is coming again.

Re: Bewitched monostand during high heat

Nah. I have some in the garage. But keeping it properly fed seems to be the solution for me. I’m finding that an underfed lawn leads to stress that can lead to fungal problems. Underfeeding is as big a problem as over feeding. But it’s a fine line and figuring out where it exists is the challenge. ...

The price is supposedly going to be 64.99 shipped to the DIY'er. It is a 50 pound bag.

I came across the "new" product while watching a couple You Tube videos.

Re: Matted grass from massive rain and no sun...

JG,

Is your lawn recovering now with the cooler weather ? Sunny days are finally here for the next 3 days. Like you, September was nasty for my lawn due to consistent cloudy days, warm nights, high humidity and rain. No spreading yet for the KBG portion of my TTTF/KBG lawn.

Installing sod in NYC area

How late this year can one install TTTF sod ( in cemetary plot) with good chances of it establishing ?

There will be no supplemental watering after watering it heavily during the installation, only mother nature.

Re: Watering KBG when Rain in Forecast

For summer weather (upper 80's - low 90's) in my area of NJ, I water enough to handle 2 days of evapotranspiration.

About 1/3 of inch.
