Re: Spring Ideas and Recommendations

Honestly? It looks pretty good for March 22nd and Long Island. I'd stand pat, mow when it needs it, and HOLD OFF FEEDING. The worst thing you could do is feed too early. Wait until late May for that (early May if you feed with an organic). Thank you for your response. My buddy who has a landscaping...

Re: Need Help with Lawn (Pic Included)

I'm getting mixed responses from various people...

Some say that I should dethatch and overseed the area. Even though I put down prodiamine and Q4.

Some say leave it alone for 6 weeks.

Some say more nitrgoen.

I am lost

Re: Persico’s Soil Test

Put down my pre emergent prodiamine two weeks ago and just today I am finding a lot of different weeds. Should I blanket spray tenancity? I just got my sulfate of potash as you recommended in the mail and was getting ready to fertilize. https://i.postimg.cc/t1QrRwMB/04056-BBA-244-F-4074-B899-DB7363-...

Re: Tenacity + Scotts Turf Builder Crabgrass Preventer

So I decided to go with Prodiamine which I put down about two weeks ago. I’ve noticed the following weeds are popping up. Should I blanket spray tenancity now? I was hoping to hit it with nitrogen and some phosphate as per my soil test but I’d like to get rid of these weeds. https://i.postimg.cc/t1Q...

Re: Persico’s Soil Test

OK - I'm going to handle the soil test results first, and then handle the other items in your email. The soil is not too bad by Long Island standards. it is showing most of the signatures of LI soil. These are lower TEC numbers (the soil's ability to hold nutrients), acidic to neutral soils, and a ...

Re: Persico’s Soil Test

Yes sorry I was waiting for the post to be approved. The tenancity issue turned out to not be an issue. Below is how it turned out in July. https://i.postimg.cc/k2rDHLhQ/8-C225892-687-F-411-B-8504-E93385-E21176.jpg August was then rough for the grass https://i.postimg.cc/cKg9Jgcy/976951-EA-8643-4-FB...

Overseed Lawn Question

If this was your lawn, would you overseed it this spring? https://i.postimg.cc/sQpmkLdB/CA583-C4-F-0681-4271-B847-32923-EF87-F4-B.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/QBK0btfJ/E79-CD4-FB-4-E35-4-BDA-AC8-D-0-A8-A475-BA6-E9.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/1VVFxnNv/BFE2-FF8-C-E620-40-D2-B85-D-3-AAE81-E070-FA.jpg
