You’ll want to do more than even out the soil. In a year’s time, you’ll have a depression in the area where the tree was if you don’t pile the soil a little higher than the surrounding soil.

Eric, you’ll probably get better results if you repost during the growing season. I know you are in the south. So there may still be folks around to answer your post. But the site has much more traffic during the warmer months. January and February tend to be slower on the site.

Merry Christmas!

Glass half full!

Agreed, and if they both show it, the process to remove the PFAS could be costly...... From what I’ve read elsewhere, the issue is specifically with bay state and how/where they’re getting their source materials. It does not seem to apply to other similar products. There’s no need to jump to specul...

Other crop could contain Poa Triv.

what you describe is a common practice in warm season lawns. (Overseed Bermuda with annual rye so it has some color in the winter months) The practice has been criticized by those pursuing show case lawns as not good for the Bermuda grass. If you aren’t going for a showcase lawn, my only concern wou...

Yeah. It would be possible. But it’s the kind of thing that could be abused by unethical people and spammers.

I’d get a standard fungicide. I don’t normally use fungicides often. But if it were me, in my location, I would deal with this now, while the grass may still have time to recover.

That’s not grub damage. Most likely some kind of animal.

In the latest Schedule C trials at Rutgers, Glade came out tops.

This is a very old cultivar?

In which category?

Care to share a link to that finding?

Even with your predominantly Rye grass mix, you are way outside the optimal window for seeding this year. Most people here are getting ready to wind their lawns down. You’d have gotten more feedback about your seed mix if you had posted in August or even early to mid September. I’m hoping you’re pla...

I didn't know whether I should start a new thread or add to this one. I opted for the latter. I too have been extremely UNHAPPY with my 2018 Honda HRX217VKA. I had a 2006 HRX217TDA, then in 2010 we moved to an acreage that necessitated a rider, so I sold told the 2006 HRX217TDA to my father-in-lawn...

I think I paid $160 for 25 lbs of quality KBG at Seedsuperstore but I picked it up so there was no shipping cost. But if I had to pay $600 for 50 lbs I would have a stiff drink and click the "place order" button. Considering what you will spend over the next 10 years on other inputs to the lawn, I ...

Re: my own opening post, well pardon me! I apparently was just kidding around. Forget $233... now we are up to $595 for 50 lbs. Hmmm. I am tempted to buy a poor-man's helping of such seeds and see what gives. You need to shop around. No way you should be paying that kind of price for 50 pounds. Ass...

Depends on your relationship with them. If you are friendly, it would be ok. But if you barely talk, I’d keep my opinion to myself.

Andy and Timmy have given you good advice. I don’t know the seasons in your area. So I don’t know if I would advise compost at this time.

Ok. That’s a common mistake. Generally, you should disturb the soil as little as possible. Tillng just brings dormant weed seeds to the surface and results in a lot of weeds.

Thanks @andy10917 and @TimmyG. Had another question: I read in a few articles on organic lawn care about creating soil conditions to allow microbes to thrive in the soil and one of the recommendations was to add compost in the fall and spring and to leave grass clippings on the lawn. I've had issue...
