Re: Union Made American Cars?
I buy American made or Assembled whenever possible. Americans working and making a livable wage pay the taxes, that in turn, pay my wages as a federal employee. God Bless America. I call myself trying to do this, but need to make a better effort to check what I'm buying. Thanks for posting this, Red.

Re: Raised height but now crop circles have returned
Your grass looks great though.
Maybe you could manage your cutting height better. Start the season lower and gradually raise the cutting height as needed through out the season.
That would help some.

Re: Raised height but now crop circles have returned
The only thing I can think of is that now since the turf is so thick and growing really well the mower does't really rest on the actual ground anymore so the grass lifts it along with the bumps underneath. Does that make any sense? That's exactly what's happening. Along with the mower blade produci...

Re: Frustrated Weed Wacker Owner-Any help is appreciated
Is the "default bump trimmer line" similar to a speed feed trimmer head? I have a speed feed trimmer head on my wacker and I can go for days trimming (well, until the line is out). Then it takes me 2 mins to reload 10 ft of line and go at it again. My Stihl is pretty quick. Cut off 2 pieces of line...

Re: Celsius WG is not killing my spurge weeds
It'll at least help break the cycle some if you get them out of there. Those things make a ton of seeds. Good luck! Hate the Celsius didn't work out. Maybe try it another date with the high rate. That's all I got. Spurge is one I just never fully conquered. Minimized, but never fully beaten it seemed.

Re: Celsius WG is not killing my spurge weeds
So you are sure that it was the weed recovering and not a new weed? I use to try to hand pull spurge because it is easy to remove, but it seemed like every time I'd pull a new crop would germinate. Its a struggle. Your surfactant was good. Non ionic is just fine. I don't have an answer for you. It's...

I don't often post as a moderator, but connection issues and proxy server usage are not really relevant to soil testing and nutrient supplementation. All it is doing is cluttering the thread.

Re: How to Interpret Your Own Soil Test Report
If that's how you want to fertilizer, why soil test at all? The reason that we soil test is so we can determine what nutrients we need to supplement the soil with and how much to use. If you're just interested in applying nutrients regardless if they're needed or not, why soil test? For the reason ...

How to Interpret Your Own Soil Test Report
So we don't know the max capacity of this gas tank, but we do know that empty gives us deficiency symptoms. We also know that 5 gallons doesn't overfill the tank. Why not keep it at 5 gallons and never deal with deficiency symptoms? The goal of those on the board isn't to save every scrap of time th...

Good point. And for what people on this forum are trying to accomplish, a very logical approach.

Re: Connect rotor sprinkler to garden hose?
As for as the performance goes is the output limited by pressure or flow rate? Suppose if the max flow of the faucet is 3 GPM and I used a 4 GPM nozzle, I know I won't get 4 GPM but will the nozzle give me the same range as the 3 GPM nozzle? Not necessarily. The output will start turning into a str...
