Re: bcpa1445's Soil Test Results 2019

Thank you. Yes soil can freeze for short periods from time to time.

What are your micro recommendations?

Re: bcpa1445's Soil Test Results 2019

I’m up for the micros!

Thank you for the recommendations.
Is the every 90 days for the lime year round or only during growing season? Also, last time around you had recommended Epsom salts with the lime, is that still needed?

What is a good OM number?

Thank you,
Bill

bcpa1445's Soil Test Results 2019

I have 27k sq.ft. of common bermuda/yukon bermuda in Nashville, TN area. Use a rotary mower trimmed to about 1.75in weekly. No irrigation but can lay out hose/sprinkler/timers to cover whatever is necessary. Really only irrigate if I have applied something or if we haven't had rain in a long period ...

Re: bcpa1445's Soil Test Results 2018

Andy,
Is it safe to apply this all at one time and water in? Or should I break it up a few days apart?

Thanks

Bermuda lawn taken over by goosegrass

My common bermuda lawn is in need of a serious overhaul. I moved in last summer and the lawn looked pretty decent. https://s22.postimg.cc/c8l0rzs19/IMG_7590.jpg It had bare spots in places and was thinner than I wanted it to be. So I started down the dark path of obsessive lawn care learning. I got ...

Re: bcpa1445's Soil Test Results 2018

@andy10917 I have a few questions, just for my learning purposes, not to question your expertise. Why do you recommend Calcitic lime with Epsom salts vs dolomitic lime alone (which contains magnesium already)? I'm assuming the calcium content? Is it the speed at which the effect takes place? Solubil...

Re: bcpa1445's Soil Test Results 2018

Thanks for the reply! I’m up for working on the micros. With the medium loam, what do you recommend to help with soil compaction and/or also raising om levels? Top inch or so of soil dries very fast. Should I core aerate and spread peat moss or something? I’ll work on the rest of the recommendations...
