Re: Powdery Mildew

I had PM on about 1 ksf of shady area turf but it spread further than ever before. I put some tomatoes in the affected area and then sprayed the area with dac to make sure the PM did not damage the tomatoes.

Re: Chris’ Rookie Reno: Lawn on a Hill

Welcome, nice property! The crabgrass should die by itself soon, unless it stays warm all winter.

Eric - that is a pretty cool youtube channel. Thanks for sharing.
