It's really very variable, but weeks as opposed to months, assuming you apply every 2 weeks or so. I regularly use 4 oz per thousand, actually and...er...well, somewhat higher than that at times... Hey Morph, when you get time, can you possibly create an updated version of the BLSC and BLKH. From w...

I take it that it's probably been pretty hot in your area for awhile now? Assuming the JM is getting adequate water...is it mulched deep enough to retain moisture? Had a quick conversation in passing with one of the folks at our local nursery about it...first thought was something drought stress re...

You won't notice much lawn quality difference, per se, quickly with just the SLS--although the lawn should accept and hold more water over time. Morph, Can you "ish" a time period where you should start seeing the soil be more accepting to water? Like a application every two weeks and you should se...

I don't know if you're limiting the equipment to power equipment selections, but a backpack sprayer is pretty standard homeowner equipment I already have that. I am just looking for what was mentioned above. I did a little reading and know that you recommend the Honda HRX217 mower, but I think that...

Manual = product label

Yes. I do not see anything specific to tall fescue/kbg turf. My guess is that I should not apply this above 80 degrees, and preferably in the morning or late evening.

So as some of you may or may not know, I recently ran a small landscaping business on the side to my normal day job in healthcare. I have received a few promotions, and have decided that this will be my last year running that business. Therefore, I plan on selling all of my equipment to get more "ho...

Hey guys, Recently I have noticed an increases of bugs around the lawn. We have had quite a bit of rainfall, and many have begun to surface. I purchased some Bifen XTS on sale a few months ago, so have quite a bit on hand. I know that this is an oil based insecticide, so I was wondering if this is s...

That's normal. You can certainly deadhead if you like, but they'll deadhead themselves if you don't.

Thanks Morph, just wanted to double check!

Hey guys, can anyone help identify what may be going on with my Japanese Maple? Is this normal to see leaves curling up like that? I'm not sure if this is insect damage or some sort of disease? Couple it possibly be heat related??

It appears that my sunpatiens may be having some sort of issue going on. Can someone help identify what the problem may be? Or is this the normally way that they start fading and falling off? https://s1.postimg.cc/4q7jma963/IMG_1402.jpg https://s1.postimg.cc/3p7ax5s6j/IMG_1403.jpg https://s1.postimg...

Look like it's starting to do better now after that iron sulfate. When do these bushes normally stop blooming? I have seen no new blooms on the bush.

Applied Propiconazole and 2 bags of milo before the rain tomorrow.

No I do not plan on leaving the hoses in the yard. I just don't prefer waking up at 5 am to water. In the past I have a single zone timer and would have to go move the hose every little bit. With this new system, I plan on setting the hoses out the night before I water, and collect each hose prior t...

May try the impact sprinklers and see if they work. I have trouble getting those to do what I want. I sort of like the oscillating sprinklers..thoughts?

What? watered in unison? Like all areas at once? That might not be possible with hoses. You need to have enough pressure and gpm that the hoses bib can't provide. What's hard with this areas? Im not sure why you are struggling. Any one of this style should work. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0017QDHYM...

Hey guys, I have some areas in my back yard that I am struggling getting watered in unison with the remainder of the back yard. I just picked up a 4 hose water timer. Can you guys provide any equipment advice for the three areas pictures below. The two areas next to the deck are the hardest to get t...

I just feel like after 3 months of being "by the books" I should be seeing some kind of results. What is "by the books" in your opinion and who wrote the book? From reading your post: 1) hand water in the evening (promotes fungus) 2) hand water until there was runnoff (why so much?) 3) Looking at a...

As Andy corroborated, your soil is NOT the problem - I would love to trade you! I see a little disease, some summer stress, and floppy turf. Your post and question from April: I was out in the yard yesterday, and based on observation and a little advice from a few local companies. I believe the iss...

How much of summer dormancy and stress just par for the course for cool season grasses at this latitude? Can any transition zone peeps chime in? Casutherland, let me know if that manual aerator helps for you, as i'd be interested in this as well. Yes sir, I'll will definitely post results. My plan ...

So are you thinking that the issue is that you're not getting enough water into the soil? Have you done the screwdriver test? How much thatch do you have? No, I think that the water I'm putting down is having multiple effects, depending on the rate at which it is applied. When hand watering, the so...
