I've got a few observed tunneling...just for the helluva it, took a shovel to see what I was working with....
Kinda wanna say feels like a 1 inch diameter. Maybe it's a mini-me vole I've got going on, but he is sure going to town..

Off to read up on Castor Oil. What effect does it have on the turf ?

Mods. LMK if should make a new thread but on the topic of how things (move) within the earth, how much or how little between the worms and such does -soil- move from one area to another... I once planted some large shrubs from 15G containers. I root washed it as much as possible but have often wonde...

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 ...

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...

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...

Daimbert - haven't been to hicks this year at all, but if I recall, they just had box store brands and - maybe- delea. not sure if I'll be passing through again, but I have about 3 lbs of Hogans Blend left from my hellstrip overseed this fall - i think-. Not sure if you would want to mix the box bra...

You know it's fall when the squirrels know it as well.
Seems like over the past few days, they have been busy as lottsa holes here and there. They have started hiding/storing their food

Not driving up north just for N. Re-looking at a property there.

Never have ventured out to LICA before, even though they are on my radar as a local place !

bellport.

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

Paging Andy. Agway, Feed stores around here don't carry this. Passing by Germantown and then will be doing a half day in Hudson (main strip around warren st). Got any recommendations !

Interrrresting read, as I thought windrift RU on any shrub, flower or anything in the -garden beds- was no bueno. Never have masked it off, but have done a pre and post leaf spray as -mitigation- for the just in case

Can one spoon feed or blitz new blades. Thinking about the over-seed. Or leave it alone for 2020 to let it focus on -roots-

Not sure where the proper subforum is, so here this thread goes in here.... Does super phosphate -really - promote root growth ? Have this used this stuff in years.....if I'm planting somethin, all I do is just amend the bottom with some Espoma Bio Tone. Anyhow, got with Isaias rolling through, got ...

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...

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...

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.

I don't look at the big box stores but from memory recalls, WBG CK is not on the shelves ....

Lowes might be different as whomever does their purchasing, they sell all sorts of stuff that is not even -code approved- on their shelves.

Got any family or friends a state over...

Alot of my lawn care stuff, if not stuff like perimeter sprays for the -spring warmup- ants, etc I have a friend deliver to me a state over.

I used to do the same Dchall ....just pull mulch bag, apply around drip line and mulch goes back.
Seems the consensus is the -tea- is more direct, and encourages basal break
