As always, thanks for the help. I'll take a look at the Fe this year, we have a place locally that sells it for a reasonable price. Colors OK but could always be better.

Stop spreading word about the benefits of mulched leaves, it increases competition for free bags of leaf material. If my neighbours find out they are doing me a favor, instead of the other way around, there's going to be a major decline in the free work I get out of them.

I'm not even sure I completely agree that time-release is prefered. BLSC isn't a salt based nutrient. If your lawn needs it go out and apply it at rates beyond the recipe. It's pretty innocent stuff - I've gone up to 5x what the website says with no ill consequences. Then again, I've been know to ap...

http://abouttrees.com Same thing. They have some good videos on their website about the process. I believe the app is national but they are particularly active in Atlanta. I was getting two loads a week when my listing was active - so watch out, it shows up fast. You are right about them not being p...

I'm with rtomek, use PVC if at all possible.

I have never had good luck with octopus systems of 1/4" inch lines run off 1/2", which has led me to remove almost all of my mini sprinklers/sprays, bubblers, misters, etc. If you do go that route, try to keep your 1/4" lines to the absolute minimum possible. You can absolutely have a great system w...

dsh, One of the reasons your 6.1 and 8.4 ph readings are so improbable is due to the ph scale being logarithmic. You cannot take the arithmetic difference between the samples to say that 8.4 is about 1/3 more basic than 6.1. In reality, your backyard has 200 times (=10^2.3) as many H ions as your si...

- I like the MP nozzles from Hunter since gpm out of the nozzle is a constant. The precipitation rate is constant across the standard MP Rotator line but the GPM varies depending on radius and arc. Either the short radius or corner strip nozzles have a different precipitation rate, although which o...

Been thinking about this thread for a while, and wanted to follow up. My wife and I decided to let the incident go. In the end, we didn't need to utilize legal channels to make our point - two cops cars sitting in front of his house for almost an hour, while the officers educated him on the situatio...

Jep, Spring has sprung. For the 8th straight day we've been at 70* or higher. Thursday's high was 75*. :o Our normal temps should be 52/34. My 4" soil temps today have reached 58*. That's not good. Any higher and I'll have to start my summer patch routine. :banghead: Waaaay too early for that. :bla...

Shouldn't be a problem as long as you buy the correct thread orientation. Plenty of people put spray heads right on 1/2" NPT PVC. Just factor in the PSI of the Pro Strays if you have the pressure regulating models.

Turns out different fungi eat pretty much everything - even radiation. Doesn't seem to be much nutrition in sawdust but these little guys were beyond thriving. You're right, they were concentrated right at the bottom of the pile, as if the spores where present in the soil under and just needed the r...

I have a pile of wood shavings/saw dust I added to all of last year with the intention of spreading it in the pepper garden this spring. I was shoveling some into my garden cart when I hit a layer of planer shavings full of what I can only call fungus roots. The really fine roots give the shavings t...

Zareth's point is more that the amount of Iron you can apply with Milo is limited by budget - a common application rate is double what the bag shows. The more you want to spend, the more iron you can spread (within reason of course). I believe Andy at one point was going twice the bag rate every oth...

Zone 7a here. Just north of Atlanta city limits. Depends on what you mean by "grow in the summer". It certainly wont be actively adding new top growth in a meaningful way. It also wont be totally wiped out. I personally don't water much in the summer as I let my lawn go dormant. I water just enough ...

I'm curious about the missing details. What did he want you to do? You say he wanted you to follow his "rules." What rules? What was it that the police said you were right about? In most cases, you are best moving on. Install a fence and just ignore your neighbor. If it happens again, pick up the p...

Edit: Meant for this to be in the cool season grass forum. So agitated right now, I messed up the posting. Could a mod move it for me? I'll admit, I'm not thinking clearly right now. A neighbor and I got into a disagreement. I was right and I knew I was right, so I didn't let him walk on top of me. ...

If you wanted to try a deeper chimney, look at info on jetting a water well. You can get down 20 ft pretty easy in an few hours. 2 inch pipe is typical, which ends up with around a 3 inch hole. Could use 4 inch pipe as well. You could try using one 10 foot stick and make a couple of chimneys in an a...

I bet that got the neighbors talking. Nothing gets you labeled as "that guy" quite as quickly as flinging sawdust everywhere.
