Sprayed Bayer Acclaim and Triclopyr (Bayer CCO) on the bermudagrass.

More pizza from last week:

Got the Borax and Copper Sulphate w/ Milo Carrier down this weekend.

Applied starter fertilizer per Morpheus' prescription for soil improvement

Applied Acclaim Extra and Triclopyr to start bermudagrass control.

Second application of Ortho WBG (2.4D, MCPP, Dicamba) to finish off the broadleaf weeds hating life.

Applied GrubEx

Good to know. How about mulching leaves? Point about mulching leaves: be sure to keep the gear drive clean after mulching leaves (spray with water or pressurized air). My gear drive on my Toro Super Recycler went out last fall, tech said it was due to mulching leaves turning into fine powder that c...

Mulch mowed the lawn, got GrubEx for application Monday (praying for enough rain Tuesday and Wednesday)

I'm now a convert: I picked up a copy of Tony Gemignani's "Pizza Bible", and the differences between his technique and recipes compared to Peter Reinhart's "American Pie" are incredible: Tony's technique is just what I needed for my low-temp (450 deg.).... Love that book! The pizza thread lives :) ...

Thanks so much, Morpheus! Please confirm that I interpreted your instructions correctly for the following prescription: May 25: (1) add starter fertilizer (18-24-12) at bag rate; (2) add 5 Tbsp/1000sf of 20 Mule Team Borax AND 3Tbsp/1000sf of Copper Sulphate via Milo carrier using the Micronutrient ...

Update -- I tried this chemical on 2 sweetgum trees in my front yard last spring: absolutely no effect on the plague of sweetgum balls. I know the instructions said timing is critical, and I tried best I could to get the timing right on when the buds start to swell. Unless you're an arborist or expe...

Thanks for the replies. The Ortho WBG I blanket sprayed April 3 seems to be showing its effects. Waiting to see if the Tenacity I spot-sprayed April 13 on the Poa Annua and crabgrass starts turning them white. Curious about this idea (link below) of applying pre-M earlier when the daffodil shoots st...

Mulch mowed first time this season, good to see that carpet green look again (at least in some parts of the lawn )

Blanket sprayed the lawn with Ortho WBG

Got Olivia, the Landroid, back up and running. Which was harder than it sounds, there was a break in the wire that took three hours to find. I also found a small bit of P. annua that got sprayed. What did you hit the P. Annua with? I found some in the lawn today (thankfully not as much as last year)
