Re: Guisertj 2019 soil test
Oh, forgot to mention. Just did one sample this year, which was a combination of the front and back and not separate like the 2017 sample. Man, guys weren’t joking about how hard it is to increase organic matter.

Guisertj 2019 soil test
Well, I took a year off from having the soil tested but still worked at improving it in 2018. Used all organic fertilizers, Milo and soybean meal mostly. I would say dropped monthly apps. Less aggressive fall plan as well. I battled with some grub issues last year and will preventatively take action...

Re: Milorganite on sale at fleet farm for $5.60 - possible pricematch at home depot
Not all Home Depot’s will honor. Tried it with my local one and they just said no. I brought up the price match guarantee and they shook their head.
I was upset for a little while and got over it. It is normally priced @ $12.59. Can’t blame them for saying no.

Re: My lawn is a disaster
If you are going to go all in with a complete reno, if it were me, I’d bite the bullet and wait for fall. Use this spring and summer to get a game plan together, materials, and work on improving soil. You’ve lived with it since June already. And the results will speak for themselves.

Re: Prodiamine rate for northern mix lawn
I believe 2 teaspoons is somewhere close to .33 oz. so if my math is correct your 1.5 tsp will equal .25 oz. Disolve in a gallon and spread over 1k.

Cracked corn, no problem. Just thought applications of corn meal would break down quicker.

Re: guisertj Soil Test 2017
Looking at 10-10-10 and 13-13-13. Any advantage of one over the other?
Also, do these applications need to be irrigated in? Scheduled around rainfall? Thanks.

Re: Thoughts about glyphosate being a carcinogen
I try to be as careful as I can be when applying chemicals. Also in the mixing process. Safety glasses, gloves, and if I am mixing powders I wear a mask. Can't be to careful. Also I make sure to mix according to label rates. I think there are a lot of people that think if they apply an over dosage r...

Re: Well water iron question
2 ppm will definitely stain. For those interested in treating irrigation, there are systems that use a product called "rid-o-rust". It is a chemical injection system. Easy to use with a separate irrigation well, a little more complicated when sharing irrigation and domestic from the same well.
