Re: 2020: What Did You Do On Your Lawn Today?

winterized with 2 lbs/k urea. Finished putting it down minutes before about a half inch of rain fell! Pretty late this year but the ground isn't frozen. Hopefully it's not wasted. If the lawn is green, you're fine. If it's brown, it could be a waste. That's actually good timing. I did mine the othe...

Re: Thoughts on 2020 Summer Sesaon Results

I didn't water much during the summer but I started to a little bit when things started to get really dire. I had a few sections die off completely but I re-seeded them a couple weeks ago. Probably not more than a couple hundred sqft. Things are looking pretty good now except where the grass still n...

Re: Professional sports fields - pH maintenance?

Good to know but there's gotta be more to the story. My TEC is 1.49 with an OM% of 2.84. Having sandy soils based on a jar test is one thing but do you have soil tests for those properties that show OM% as well? I've done 3 fast acting lime apps per season the last 2 years (only 2 years I've been h...

Re: Tenacity Expiration Date

I had mine always in the garage. There are times my garage would reach temps in the 20Fs. The Tenacity still worked. Chemicals degrade faster at high temperature than low. That's why highly reactive ones are stored in a fridge / freezer. That said I don't know anything about the stability of their ...

Re: Tarank's 2020 Soil Test

Great, thanks for all this info I'll get started. No idea how the compost is sandy, it was just our observation. It's possible we were mis-characterizing it as such but it certainly seemed that way.

Re: Tarank's 2020 Soil Test

Sorry, I know this is busy season plus a pandemic but in case this fell through the cracks, any recommendation as to rate of 10-10-10 and/or the need for any lime?

Re: Tarank's 2020 Soil Test

Thanks for the quick response! Yes time will tell if last years results were off or this years. I also wonder what is the error in the measurements, if you sample your yard, and then go out and immediately do it again and send in both samples how similar would the results be? Not worth $25 for me to...

Re: How Do You Rate The 2019 Season For Your Lawn?

This was my first year getting a soil test and making amendments. Despite having a very low TEC and acidic soil I was able to get the lawn looking great. It sticks out in the neighborhood and exceeds my expectations. I don't need to have a 'perfect' monoculture, I'm happy with mostly weed–free thick...
