Loving this thread, so thank you for the effort! How is the FF thinning project/experiment coming along?

Old thread, but was wondering if anyone has had any success over the past few years with old or new techniques for selectively eliminating fine fescue in a KBG lawn? Thanks in advance!

Another vote for the Rachio with one caveat; as of last year, the programming/software did not allow for a delay between zones. This was important to me as I'm on a well and needed recovery time. Looking forward to them programming this feature so I can get back to using the Rachio. It was great to...

Hello, After a failed KBG renovation last fall (short description below), I needed to get a lawn growing this spring so I seeded with Double Eagle PR. While it's coming along nicely for the most part, I have noticed that I have an abundance of poa annua coming in as well. Or at least what I thought ...

Also, can I apply GrubEx 1 at this time or would it be ineffective?

Is it possible that grubs are eating my seedlings' roots? I have large sections that appear to have are no germination and when I examine those areas closely, I find a bunch of the little buggers. Any chance they're feeding on the dead grass as well?

Just a quick update for all of those dying to know what happened. Well I ended up seeding on Aug 22 with KBG seed and would have to say it's been a failure so far. After returning from vacation I went right to work that week, so it took me another whole week to realize my irrigation system was faili...

Go for it! I'm basically doing the same thing this week. Except I nuked my lawn two days ago and I'm seeding tomorrow. What's the worst that can happen!?

Thanks Chuck. Unfortunately I'm flying out of state so delaying the vacation is not possible. Well I guess it is technically, but I would be divorced if I did!

Ok, so after sitting on the fence about renovating, I pulled the trigger and nuked my lawn this past Wednesday (8/19) with the idea of scalping and seeding on Saturday/Sunday. I'm leaving on vacation Sunday night and won't return until late the following Sunday (8/30). I have about 20k of lawn that ...

You sprayed Tenacity at seeding, right?

Budget is $1500 to $3000. I don't think I need a commercial mower, just a decent residential mower that cuts well, mulches and can tow a cart.

Hello,

Just found out that my riding mower's engine is beyond repair so I'm looking for suggestions on a new mower. I have about 23k of lawn that is fairly sloped. Looking for reliability, cut quality and decent turn radius.

Any and all comments welcome!

Thank you

Thanks for this info! Didn't realize that the price included shipping. That makes it much more attractive and I was overbuying at 30 lbs so 25 will work fine.

Thanks turftoes. I've been going back and forth with Nathan at Summit and it looks like they only had their enhanced version available as of a few days ago. Looks like I may have missed my chance at getting that, but I would rather get raw seed and "enhance" it myself. Great info on this year's crop...

Hey gang, has anybody had any luck sourcing sod quality Bewitched recently (at a sub-$10/lb)? I need about 30 lbs and whether or not I can find it will determine if I renovate this year. Also, how long will raw seed stay viable in a dry basement that fluctuates between 50 and 62 degrees annually? I'...

Thanks Andy. I'll stick to the previously prescribed regimen. I have micros on hand if you would like to provide some guidance there. Any chance the lab messed up? When I bagged the soil, I would never have described it as sandy. Or rather, any chance that all of the snow we received over the winter...

Thank you! Updated test images and my drop schedule from last year.
