Re: CDC 2787 Soil Test

Maybe I'm being a little dense here, isn't there a large difference between the recommended Ferrous Sulfate application of 2-3 lbs/K and Scott's moss killer bag rate containing only 4 oz/K of Ferrous Sulfate? I have an 18,000 sq ft lawn and was ready to apply 36 lbs total (2 lbs/K) of the Ferrous Su...

Re: CDC 2787 Soil Test

Andy and Morpheus, thank you for your interpretations. I will be tackling the Iron and Boron shortages this season. I ordered Ferrous Sulfate powder from 7springsfarms.com and will see how it goes in the spreader alone. Based on the picture from their website it doesn't appear to be a fine powder. I...

Re: CDC 2787 Soil Test

Andy, I'm wondering if I overcomplicated my math for your ferrous sulfate recommendation, from my 2019 test, and that would explain how I came up with such a high cost. When you recommend 2-3 lbs/K of Ferrous Sulfate is that what you asking straight up or am I looking to apply 2-3 lbs/K of Iron? The...

CDC 2787 Soil Test

Hello, my lawn is approximately 18,000 sq. ft. and without irrigation. Last season I followed (most of) the recommended plan from my previous soil test that is linked below. The additional cost of ferrous sulfate scared me off, but I'm going to bite the bullet this year...assuming it gets recommende...

Re: Chris' Soil Test

PB, I've read that as well but never considered it working the other way around. I raised the question because I'm thinking I may ditch the grain applications so I'm able to comfortably pick up the cost of the soil plan. I'm fortunate to have affordable grains available, but milorganite is not cheap...

Re: Chris' Soil Test

Thank you for the interpretation and plan. How quickly do you typically see OM shift in a year or two? If I abandon ~bi-monthly grain apps at 15 lbs/K next season, will I see a significant drop? I will continue to mulch mow as well mulch my leaves. I'm just trying to keep costs in perspective. Thank...

Chris' Soil Test

Hello, my lawn is approximately 18,000 sq. ft. and unirrigated. I'm 4 weeks in from overseeding 6,000 sq. ft. of the lawn. This is my second season following a hybrid approach using grains, milorganite, mulching leaves and grass while using urea for my final application of the season. Any advice wou...

Re: New Guy - Triangle Approach Timing

Andy, the label instructs 3/8-3/4 oz per 1,000 sq. ft. for spot treatment. I went with 1/2 oz per gallon to treat 1,000 sq. ft. as directed by the Q & A on Domyown.

New Guy - Triangle Approach Timing

Hi Everyone, quite the Scott's routine since I found this forum last fall and really wanted to turn my yard around. I've read through a lot of posts and did some searches and want to apologize if this was discussed already and I missed it. I'm following the triangle approach and have already made th...
