Well, whether or not Plan A works depends upon the type of nitrogen fertilizer applied. If the nitrogen is sufficiently slow-release so that the fertilizer applied in April becomes gradually available through April and May, and the September fertilizer becomes gradually available in September and O...

If you apply to much at one time, it'll kill the grass.

I'm not sure how much is too much, but I'm pretty sure 3 lbs would kill it. I'm not sure about 2 lbs, but that might be enough to kill it (or at least damage it) as well.

Cool! Thanks for the info!

TTTF Update. This is a pic from October 10. I'm really thankful for almost more than a week of warm weather! Today, the height of the grass is close to 2 inches tall. She's 15 days old today. I'm hoping it won't die in winter since roots will be shallow. The new grass in the hell strip covers 98% of...

I have another question. I'm wondering why 1 lb of nitrogen per 1,000 sqft is always used per single application. If we're targeting 4-6lbs a year, will there be any difference in the plans shown below? Is it because Plan A will most likely burn the lawn? +++++++ Plan A +++++++ April - 3 lbs of N pe...

I found ElburnCoop. I contacted them. They don't sell cgm anymore. That's weird.
I found another store in Saint Charles, CGM for $29. Still too much but way better than $46 from 2-3 years ago

Nope, nothing. Ever, really. And that urea drop in May was odd, and only because I didn't have the organics to drop in May--I would normally never do that, and would make May's application completely organic. For that matter, August would have had more in the way of organics as well, but I worked w...

Thanks a lot for sharing your log as well as the way you spread it out. That will really help me a lot! I will print it and stick it on my wall.

I noticed you didn't apply anything in the month of June and July. Cool!

Yep, irrigation handles that issue nicely. :-) Awesome! I did it yesterday! I finally understand how much nitrogen is put based on the the weight we are spreading in a 1,000 sqft lawn. I learned from this link how much nitrogen a grass needs per year. It's also important to know which grass type we...

Looking good. !~

Thank you!

No, if you water it in that is fine. I think Morpheus forgot you have irrigation. Gotcha! If I take your statement literally, that's an enormous leap of faith to expect grass that's one plant every 2 ft apart to turn back into a lawn through spreading. Many years. Of course, there's always a bit of...

Just hold off on that until just before rain. Otherwise, you risk off-gassing the nitrogen to the atmosphere, at least in part, and burning the grasses that are exposed to it, at least a little.

Even if I water it right away?

I've been waiting and waiting and it's been more than a month, my front kbg lawn hasn't got out of dormancy yet. It's been 10 days now since I dropped the tall fescue seeds. I was so worried since I was so late in this unexpected reno. I was also worried since Sunday and Monday, the temps reached a ...

Awesome! Thanks for the formula. I have 46-0-0. Thanks a lot!

I do have an underground sprinkler irrigation system. Should I put 2 lbs of urea per 1k sqft?

I've already applied grub killer 2 weeks ago. I'm seeing grass poking out of the dead hay maybe every 2 feet apart. We all know that KBG is extremely good in spreading. I've witnessed it. I would like to know how much fertilizer I should put per 1000 sqft so that those grass that survived will be th...

Are you liking our weather? I do

I think I dated Polar Vortex. Emotionally distant, often cold? Yeah.

haha, she's always cold

I'm hoping the warm weather extends to November. I remember there was a year where temp for a week around November reached 60s. Then the following year, it happened in February again. Snow melted.

This is awesome news for me! Second half of October will be warmer. It's just a forecast and I'm hoping they're right. For the last 3-4 years, it's been warmer. However, this pattern sometimes also makes extremely cold temperature around 3rd week of January to 2nd week of February called Polar Vorte...

My math is wrong. It should be "after 62 hours"
