Re: DanielF 2020 Soil Test

Hey Andy,

I guess it is about that time I do plan on overseeding. When should I begin the 13-13-13 and at what rate?

Also before or after overseed?

Thanks!

Re: DanielF 2020 Soil Test

I did see many numbers shift to a less skewed value, however I am confused on how the desired value changes as well. Assumption is that is due to the ME decrease. (I specialize in the Hospitality industry... Chemistry is not my strong suit). Thank you for taking the time, can't wait to see what the ...

Re: Professionally installed in-ground irrigation system controller

Racchio is the controller. There should not be any changes in the system. They wire up the same, just make sure you have a decent WiFi signal where the controller will be mounted. Me personally I have Rainbird ESP-ME with the Wifi Link

Re: Tenacity vs Drive for Clovers, Pet Safety

Just minimized her being on the grass for two days and then watered. Only negative to her were the blue paws for a few days. As long as your dog does not eat the g...

Re: What happened to my lawn

GrubEx will kill the larvae as they emerge from the eggs that the beetles are getting ready to lay (preventative). I think it is too late for Curative solution.

I would still put the GrubEx down and get it watered in now to help with fall and next spring. Just my two cents.
