6th mow of the season. That's not bad, but it was only 3 days since I last cut. Ready for the Primo to kick in any time now!

Irrigation system turned up, and installed indicator pop-ups for the drips in the wife's gardens. Round IV of Velocity, and I think the tide is turning in my favor. For now. Oze what are you going after with Velocity? I just laid down 1st app of Certainty bc my 2 year old reno had a Triv outbreak S...

Sprayed Primo Maxx.

Have you tried Certainty or weighed the options vs Velocity? Just reading the label of Velocity seems like a miracle product.. After reading the label (over and over), I don't think I would apply Velocity to anything other than PR or creeping bent. Although it is apparently also harmless to TTTF, I...

Second day of applying neighbor repellent. Yesterday was Milo, today Serenade.

Spot-sprayed a single dandelion I found in my yard, bordering the neighbor's dandelion/clover plantation. Played border patrol agent, and reinforced the broadleaf killer barricade.

Forgot to add--season's first application of the Milorganite/Borax cocktail during the lunch hour.

Sprayed Velocity on every light green spot and continent in my yard. I am following the same slow conversion plan as Oze. I did some spot spraying last week in the back yard to make sure I wasn't going to damage my TTTF. So far so good. Good to hear that Velocity is OK on TTTF. My lawn is mostly (o...

Welcome, fellow Hoosier! :hello: I'm in Fort Wayne these days, but spent my first 25 years in Hammond, so greetings from a former Region Rat. Please read the following with a suspicious eye--I joined this site a year and a half ago, when I was just a lawn newbie. Since then, I have learned a ton, an...

Mowed the front, then put on my boots, and mowed the back. I need things to dry out a bit before hitting the evil poa twins with their next dose of Velocity.

Wow! Nice crib, HLG!

Constant, light rain here the last week or so, which is perfect for my clay (Yes, clay!) soil. 5 days after my 3rd mowing, and it really needs a trim again. Too darn wet though, unfortunately. I'm actually thinking about applying the first inoculation rate of Serenade.

Mine's at the store waiting for me as we speak!

Checked on my duck. Mowed for third time. Neighbor said he has to have surgery in a couple weeks and was going to hire somone to mow his lawn so I told him I'd cover it for him. Looks like I'll be mowing double this spring :) That's what I call being a good neighbor! Good on ya, Chuck! :clapping:

I applied my first application of Velocity to some patches in the back yard. I have a huge continent of it in the front but will wait to see how the back reacts first. Thank you for posting your conversion earlier in this thread to teaspoons, that made my life much easier. I know this is going to b...

A balmy 34 degrees here in Fort Wayne. Applied SOP, MAP and another spot application of Velocity. By the way, I noticed that the Evil Poa Twins really pop out when I am wearing polarized sunglasses on a clear day like today. Touche', ya little bright green bastids!

Just got back from what should have been a pleasant drive through Amish country to pick up 52 pounds each of SOP and MAP ($54 total--less than I paid for just SOP last year) in Honeyville, Indiana. *Should* have been pleasant, except for two things--the blinding snowfall made it difficult to enjoy t...

Speaking of BLSC...Andy, I think I recall that you were working on a new formula, right? Or maybe I just dreamed that over the cold winter nights.

Annnnnd it's on sale: http://www.truevalue.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=32119 $6.99. Ordered 14 bags. That will get me until fall. [ Post made via iPhone ] http://aroundtheyard.com/forums2/images/mobile/iPhone.png Thanks for the tip! I also didn't realize that there is a Tru Value within 10 mi...

Spot-sprayed triv/annua areas with Velocity @ the slow conversion rate of 2oz/acre. It comes to just under 3/8 teaspoon per gallon of water for 1000 square feet. Or, for my purposes, 1/8 teaspoon of Velocity in 43 ounces of water for 300 square feet. The half-gram accurate scale and 3rd grade math ...
