Correction: irrigate! Lol

I did a 5k backyard reno this year w/ a 50/50 mix of FF and KBG. I live in CT and first frost is approx Oct 15. Dropped seed on Aug 15 and 1#/k P 18-24-12 25% PCU in the form of Lesco starter fert, mulched and watered 2x a day for the last 3 weeks. Looks like good germination and coverage everywhere...

10 lbs. of product in 4 passes on 6k? Wow! Must have a good spreader! You did assume correctly. I pulled the trigger at SiteOne because they gave me a good price. Got it down yesterday evening just like you. It's getting watered in nicely right now! We'll see how well it does on uniformity with the ...

I always throw so the farthest prills, basically the little one or two odd ones that bounce out furthest left or right, end up settling in the middle of my last pass! *shrug* That's just how I learned. I went to VG in Plainville. Talked for a bit. They seem to have a good selection of stuff SiteOne ...

Hey Green, where did you get this from? SiteOne in Middlebury? I was gonna take a ride down there on Monday and snag a bag. Was going to do it like you suggest in two perpendicular passes. I wasn't so happy with my Urea spreading last year, so I'm not sure if my old Ortho rotary is up to the task? W...

How do we feel, in general, about combo products on this forum? Since I cannot get my hands on Merit in CT, I was thinking about using a combo fert from Lebanon in their ProScape line: 25-0-5, 0.067% Acelepryn, 0.167% Dimension, 51% MESA, 100% EXPO SGN: 145 MESA and EXPO are their controlled release...

Just starting to open in northern New Haven County, Connecticut at 1000ft above sea level.

Thanks everybody! Im going to steel my nerves and wait it out!

Hey Green, you feeling like Veterans Day is the right time to drop Urea here in CT? Sorry not hijacking thread. Temos git low FAST. Grass top growth looks to be way slowed. I feel like we're in that 2 week window for a urea shot by the end of the week. You? Anyone? This is my first year, so, dont wa...

Green, we must live literally in the same town. Because I got exactly 0.62" on the rain gauge the last two days as well! Funny. And I'm guessing your last rain before that was 0.02 inches the week before, during that span of about a month with no rain? Yeah, pretty much. But I don't publicize my lo...

My gut instinct says, personally, I'd like to have them all in by around the time of the first light frost or so. But, I don't have the experience that others do on here.

Not to hijack the thread, but @MFanIN, to keep deer away from your Arborvitae, buy some cheesecloth or something similar and some bars, must be the bars, of Irish Spring soap. Cut up a little 1" by 1" chunk or so and make a little sachet bag and hang them at about deer nose level on your hedge of AV...

I haven't grown a beautiful lawn! So...count me out!

And if it's turf caterpillars, or any other munching insect, bifenthrin will knock them out cold...Sadly, will knock out everything else as well. If you'd like to go with a more IPM approach, you could use BT. Look for Safer Brand Caterpillar killer or something of the sort. You might be able to get...

Hey greenreb, can you go out at night and look at those patches to verify there are no turf caterpillars munching away?

I just had a recent outbreak here in CT.

Obviously, bring it down gradually using the 1/3rd rule! I realize I'm preaching to the choir, but I had the urge to post!

In my neck of the woods, we've only had about 4 in of rain in the last 8 or 9 weeks! With the brunt of it on the first week of Aug and first week of Sep. That plus the high temps we had all Aug and Sep, my one sprinkler and sandy, crap soil? Yea. Let's just say its been rough. Some patches have died...
