@fun4me2, thank you. Still much to do, but a major improvement!

Re: Grass identification and advice on next steps
And here is the lawn this morning 09/18: https://i.postimg.cc/QBPCGbQg/IMG-7786.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/SngjVqjv/IMG-7787.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/kBF26WC9/IMG-7788.jpg What you can't see in these photos are some small areas that are thin, which I hope will fill in over time. I do have a few (liter...

Re: Fall Nitrogen Regimens
So, 1/2lb N monthly until rain is more frequent? Despite the lack of rain, somehow I am still mowing every 6 days. I did 1/2lb N just before we got about 3/4 inch two weeks ago. At this pace, I won't need to buy much, if any, urea for next season!

Re: Fall Nitrogen Regimens
For the non-irrigated areas of the lawn, does it make sense to just get down 1lb/k monthly of nitrogen at a time, given the fact that it only seems to rain once a month at my house lately?

Re: Grass identification and advice on next steps
Thanks, Morpheus. I guess I will give it a cut tomorrow morning then! On the onion, if I pull it, it will leave the bulb behind. So I can do that, but I think the long term solution is to dig it out in the spring. This guy has a method that look very effective and will leave pretty all the grass beh...

Re: Grass identification and advice on next steps
Sorry if I am being annoying, but I have some follow up questions. The grass that has germinated is now up to ~3" high. The reel mower I bought has a maximum cutting height of 2.5". Should I wait until it gets to 3.5" before cutting? Once it's cut, I was going to give it a baby dose of nitrogen (1/4...

Re: Grass identification and advice on next steps
Got a manual reel mower last night. And just as I was typing this, the Amazon Prime moron just drove onto my developing lawn that is taped off. He got a polite earful, but I hope the new seedlings he just drove over actually survive now. Anyway, back to my original reason for posting...I did some re...

Re: Grass identification and advice on next steps
And sorry...one other question...should I continue the 3x daily watering until the KBG germinates, or should I back it to 1x/day once most of the TTTF has germinated?

Re: Grass identification and advice on next steps
Did not know that, thank you! So it sounds like the recommendation would be to not add anything. The TTTF is already about 1-1.5 inches high. I'm guessing it will be ready for a 3" cut next week. Should I try to avoid cutting once the KBG germinates for a week or two? I was kind of just writing off ...

Re: Grass identification and advice on next steps
So this overseed is going very well. I had germination on day 5. This morning is day 8. Now I am wondering how long to wait until adding more seed in some spots that don't yet have any germination. Again, the mixture is ~70% TTTF, 20% PRG, and 10% KBG. Thanks.

Re: Grass identification and advice on next steps
I am ready to seed the bare spots and over-seed into the thin areas. I have a blend that is ~70% TTTF, 20% PRG, and 10% KBG. As of today, there is no rain in the forecast for the next two weeks (which can change quickly), so washout risk seems to be low for now. Unfortunately the temperature forecas...

Re: AndyV 2020 Soil Test
Thanks, Andy. The next application of Lime and Epsom isn't scheduled until mid-October. Sounds like that would be fine if seed down is this weekend or next.

Mini Renovation/Overseed Question
I have been diligently applying the recommended soil correction by Andy this year and the lawn looks much better, but has a long way to go. My front lawn (where I am focusing) is ~3000 sq.ft. About 1/3rd of it has amazing turf...if the entire thing looked like it, I'd be thrilled. There are bare spo...

Re: AndyV 2020 Soil Test
Andy, if I am doing some bare spot repair or overseeding (a topic I'll address in a separate post), should I continue with this regimen as described? I'm trying to figure out if I need to be concerned about timing of anything here...

Re: Glyphosate/Re-seeding question
One follow-up. I had to spray near some new Hydrangeas. I protected them from drift by holding a large piece of cardboard up while I sprayed. Because the Hydrangeas are new and their flowers are huge, they want to flop right onto the ground in the area I sprayed with Glyphosate. It's now been two da...

BLSC directly on flowers?
Any issues spraying BLSC directly on flowers? I know it's fine in the bed, just wondering if I need to be careful how I apply it on/around flowers.

I know this is an old thread, but they do sell seedless cultivars.
