If She is against RU is she also against herbicides? If you don’t burn down the existing lawn you have to learn to live with the mix stand. Solar burn down of 15k is not practical. Nothing wrong if you want 100% chem free but realistically there are limits to how far you can get by doing so. Mother ...

Like others, I have a dedicated sprayer for RU. Even still I flush it out after ever use and dump the rinsate in a safe area and not anywhere near the grass

Not sure it it makes a difference with the HOC but be prepared for two or three apps to stop the dollar spot if you have a lot of it. Walking, mowing, etc can spread it around. Bagging is a good idea for now. I bailed on the low dose big box products and went with Propiconazole 14.3 and then rotated...

Selfsame answer. I'm still working on my first bottle, vintage 2011 or so--ish. It still works like the day I bought it, and my storage is awful. In the garage, which oscillates between below freezing and above ninety. So far, I'm finding most of the standard herbicides, most of which I keep around...

I’m going to disagree about Tenacity not wiping out crabgrass on an existing lawn. Ive had Quinclorac fail to kill the mature stuff. Three apps of Tenacity and it wiped out my crabgrass and by late summer I had a weed free lawn. Spring seeding was my only option that year. I documented the whole thi...

Full disclosure: I was one of the original members back in the day when people jumped from GardenWeb and started joining Bestlawn. Then after stints overseas and moving a few times I settled down again and got back into the lawn hobby. I don’t recall what my old user name was and obviously had used...

Pay attention to me!!!

If crabgrass is Super mature Quinclorac is not bullet proof.

Thanks all. I bought some Disease Ex, so will likely give that a try. Here are a few more pictures from the heat wave: https://i.postimg.cc/RJMQ1tMH/IMG-8946.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/PNh4ngm5/IMG-8950.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/Wh1wh0YR/IMG-8953.jpg You will need a follow up application.

Do you think that there is anyway that this grass is just dormant v.s. disease?

Heat and humidity create the conditions for fungus. Serenade is a preventative for fungus. Too late for that Propiconizole is a fungicide. You can buy the bottle or granular form at Lowe’s but it’s not as good as the 14.3% I mentioned above. It won’t kill your lawn as Long as it’s not Pythiumor acth...

Have you seen any “spider web” looking things in your lawn?

Those small areas have the hallmark of dollar spot

That’s a fungus. Get propoconizole down ASAP. Use the generic 14.3% from site own on domyown.com

You’ll need two apps to get it stopped.

Huma Gro Breakout and Curiousity are what I’m using every 10 days getting my lawn whipped back into shape after some fungus damage.

Also using RGS once a month.

No full apps of synthetic until late August

Planting that is damn near blasphemous on this forum

I've always watered it in without surfactant. Although I did read a couple things today that have me wondering, FWIW: "Propiconazole is readily absorbed by plant tissues, and is transported systemically within the plant. Thus, leaves that emerge following the application will also be protected from...

I’ve never added it but I have were the Eagle label mentions using an adjuvent.

I love how all the folks with trees [banned word] about how tough it is with shade, and all the folks with full-sun say how lucky the folks with trees are. Well in spring and fall the sun exposure is a huge advantage. In the heat of summer >90F days on cool season grasses having some shade definite...

Yeah, it's been very dry for New Hampshire. NH usually gets at least 4" of natural rainfall in June. I had been hoping for one of those downpours here on Wednesday or Thursday but they missed us. The local town water supplies have implemented bans of all outdoor water use - not just an odd/even sch...
