Re: Milorganite sale

Just got back from Lowes - they priced matched 8 bags without questioning, along with extra 10%! Gonna try it and if I can stand the small, go back for more :D Nice, what did you have to show them?

Re: New to cool season grass

Wow you did a great job with the bermuda! Bet it paid off when it was time to sell. What are your long term plans for the Ohio turf? Keep the contractor selection or renovate? Have you done a soil test? Also suggest that you do a soil structure test (that you can do yourself). Short term you might w...

Re: Municipal in-ground irrigation in your area?

Our city uses wastewater plant effluent aka reclaimed water for watering high school and other sports fields and green common spaces. This practice makes a ton of sense. Would love to tap onto that source.

Re: Speed up seed germination

Once upon a time I stored some TTTF seed in a walk in freezer at work for a couple of weeks before I seeded. I do not think it helped. My opinion is that the seed will germinate when conditions are right (mainly the soil temperature and sufficient moisture).

Lowes has price matched the last two years (for me).

Others have gone to HD and price match + 10% discount.

Without knowing what specific weeds you are dealing with, Ed Grimley and many others recommend andy1031420212461065594's "triangle" approach:

Re: 3-inch height in Spring and mowing frequency

Started out last weekend with a 2.5" HOC (same as the fall height), I like it there. It will have to be longer though in the summer.

Re: PreEmerge Sale

Thanks for the heads up oze. I use domyown because they ship fast, no tax, decent pricing.

Not to get off track but (for me) Lowes has price matched the true value sale price for Vitamin M the past two years. YMMV
