MPA -
Just visited the link in the recent response as I was out and needed more.
SC doesn't carry it, but if you're in the know....
good/great place to buy Food Grade Citric acid in a bulk 40/50 lb containers/bag. Just looking for other recommendations.
My usual spot would be chemistrystore. com

Re: Folks with Fescue - do you overseed even if grass survives Summer?
Speaking of Aeration.......which I know ATY frowns upon, who -aerates- their shrubs. Last night, I was looking at some garden tools, and they had a -aeration fork-. Basically which looks like a 2 pronged solid 1" or so tool, about 18 deep, etc. The verbiage of the tool uses was to - aerate the soil ...

Re: Adding OM - How much peat moss can the lawn take? (planning for 2021)
For own wiki, when peat -breaks down-, are we saying it does get -incorporated- into the soil. I was think it would just be a different -layer----so for example, if you had sandy soil, the native soil would be sand, and then ontop would be a -wet- peat layer, not encouraging deeper roots, since the ...

Re: Adding OM - How much peat moss can the lawn take? (planning for 2021)
For potting mix, I tend to err on bark based/coarse vermiculate and some peat (depends on what goes in the container/pot). Never was a fan of peat anywhere else except as a topper to seed. Just did not picture it as a soil amender even though the masses do, cause IMO, the topsoil can be wet or dry a...

Re: Adding OM - How much peat moss can the lawn take? (planning for 2021)
Is peat a good idea as a topper. I mess will it change the top soil profile (too wet if rained heavily) and then right below, if not water retentive, will it make the roots not want to see water down ? As well. with too much -peat- , won't it make the top surface too airy . I can see it being used t...

Figured with the day trip going north, and much more farms in the general vicinity, route, I'd check in. Closest thing is Agways which doesn't carry much

I got hit by the same winds......and while not complete fail, some got into a 45 degree lean. Restaked them. Then with the forecasting of rain today and the -topheaviness with now sheared roots-, last night, I also did some pruning to remove some of the top weight...and let it refocus now back on it...

How Deep Before you Reach Hardpan
I've planted lots in this particular area. I feel like I have dug/excavated as deep as 24 inches without no issues ? Last year, I transplanted some mature shrubs. I went about 20 inches deep and not sure what was underneath but it was either hardpan or as I was scratching my head.......a layer of br...

Raking the Crown
For dormant grass, okay to take a rake - blades are dry..
Or do I have to for at least 7-10 days of greenup before I can take a rake to it ? Just thinking about the overseed.
