Re: Had a feeling this area was going to be problematic!

KBGkicksazz chips are probably down 2 feet directly below where the stump was tapering up to nothing. When the tree was removed I had no clue how soil works . I barely have a clue now but I'm learning. At germination there were thousands of small very delicate mushrooms. The damage is already done I...

Had a feeling this area was going to be problematic!

Why are my seedlings turning yellow over watering nitrogen deficiency or something else. I am going to try to tell this story in pictures with few words. My descriptive powers are not that great so if you have questions please ask I will do my best to answer them. https://i.postimg.cc/GHR9bZRC/Scree...

Re: Greenrebellion's 2018 Backyard Reno

Hey Greenrebellion how many days after seed down did you start your urea apps and at what rate did you apply. I'm just curious because I'm 26 days after seed down on my own reno have lots of tillering a height of 1 to 1 1/2 in and I was kind of under the assumption that I shouldn't start with urea o...

I guess I've been paying to much attention to the reno . I've got lots of germination going on I look at th...
