I don’t know about the selection of organics they carry, but I use NutriAg Solutions in Sterling for my Urea and SOP needs. I also have about 30k sf and they don’t seem too bothered with my orders since I usually pick up a few hundred pounds of each at a time

All rates supplied are for granular applications. You cannot apply anywhere NEAR the amount of granular fertilizer using foliar applications - it's a small fraction, and barely affects the soil. This is a soil forum, and amounts are for adjusting soil nutrient content. I’ve got the SOP granular sto...

Thank you Timbo and Hoosier. The John Deere dealer in the area only has a tow behind but I can see how a tractor mounted sprayer could be more maneuverable. Did this Northstar sprayer come with a mounting bracket for the D130 or did you have to rig something else up yourself? Also, when I used a pu...

I have an Earthway S25 that I am very unhappy with. I have a bit more than an acre but about 30000 is lawn. I’m looking for a two behind for a John Deere D130 or a good dependable backpack sprayer for an area mentioned above. I’ll use it for Dimension, tenacity, fungicide. Cost is not particularly ...

In the interest of being transparent, I don't like liquid fertilizers for Nitrogen. What arrives in water leaves when it rains or is irrigated. If I (at 67 years old) can apply 350 lbs of Milorganite on an acre+, you can certainly apply a little Urea once a month. That said, do what you please... D...

No, I was teasing him that he was sanbagging by posting a very good soil test result set to brag...

Haha I wish I knew what was good and what wasn’t. Maybe I would have played it up a bit. Glad to know it tested as good as you say considering I’ve done so little since moving in.

I think he meant that your TEC suggests that you have a sandy soil.

Haha well that makes more sense then.

Also, after looking into the ferrous sulfate, that may answer my moss question...

I didn’t expect the soil test to come back as positively as it did. I appreciate you’re advice. Not sure what you mean by being a sandbagger though. I will start looking for some SOP and Ferrous Sulfate and apply as prescribed. As far as the Boron goes, I might as well add it to my plan and dive rig...

This is the first soil test for me. Moved into this house in summer of 2018 and did begin mostly weed control of the 33,000 sf Northern Mix lawn. I have irrigation which was adjusted to properly water deep and infrequent. The lawn was pretty overrun with weeds and is also covered in what I would thi...

Crabgrass and Bent are Level 3 of the Triangle. Did you do Level 2? PS: Crabgrass can be Level 1 if you had used an herbicide with Quinclorac in it. I realized that I could/should have done that, after the fact unfortunately. Note to self for the future. Based on what I’ve seen in the lawn since le...

Thanks for finding those for me. I actually had it in my amazon cart for a few days now but was hoping I didn’t need it. I have started level 1 by means of Gordon’s lawn weed killer. It worked well on the broadleaf weeds after a full lawn application. A few small spot follow up treatments but not to...

Well I’m not home now, but yes it does lift like a toupe and has plenty of runners IIRC. It has more of a blueish tint in the morning dew.

It is certainly in patches, some fairly large, others about 2’x2’. I’m not sure how early/late it greens up since I’ve only been there a few months, but it does have a lighter color green than the rest of the lawn. I also notice that it almost seems like the root system spreads above ground level. I...

Is this a less than desirable grass or what? I have some random spots throughout the property where this grass is growing, but is noticeably different than the majority of it. https://s8.postimg.cc/l1jmoeyv5/9_C7_FF30_D-04_BA-492_D-8_B60-24_EC0_C46_F16_D.jpg https://s8.postimg.cc/53awy8775/D2124965-...

I’ve altered my irrigation schedule to deep and infrequent and started the triangle approach on August 28. I also decided to focus my efforts on an area about 30k sf, rather than the full yard. Now that the broadleaf weeds are gone, I’ve got a few questions. First, I’m wondering what type of grass t...

FYI if your septic tank is shallow it can burn the lawn in summer in that area. I had that issue with my first home and added about 6 inches of loam and had it graded in that area as I got tired of a rectangular dead zone every year. The top of tank was only 6 inches below grade. YMMV Start with we...

Does "new house" mean new construction or new to you?

New to me, not new construction

I’ve been reading around on the site a little while and finally joined. Lots of info and more importantly lost of good people willing to help. I just moved to a new house in central MA and I’m trying to get a game plan together to try and get the lawn to a place I can be confident in. The property i...
