Re: Olivia Died
(Poking head out of smoking lava pit of audit demands for two seconds during lunch) Yes, yes it was rather expensive for them. :-) The insurance adjuster simply said, "That's a first" as she authorized the check. There are also now security cameras on the front door, garage door (solidly covering t...

Re: 2022: What Did You Do On Your Lawn Today?
Woke up to the first frost this morning. Our average date is Oct 19th, so it is a little early.

Re: Recovering from drought

Re: 2022: What Did You Do On Your Lawn Today?
Walked the property yesterday and sprayed some Bifen-IT around the house perimeter. Between the drought and my continuing mole problem, the yard is depressing. I have good SSS seed and fert ready, but a little unsure when to do it. I have a supply of water from my creek, but it has been hard to keep...

Re: No more triathlons for me this year
Wow... the varia looks very cool. Also, it was hard to give up and certainly, my cardio health has paid a price. The yard seems to be my exercise these days.

Re: Difficulty cutting thick lawn
Horsepower baby! That SFC30 is a beauty! I have the Toro Timemaster with the 223cc B&S engine and it rips--even in the spring when the lawn is growing like crazy. It looks like the SFC has a 224cc commercial grade Kohler. I'll bet this engine will rip too. I've considered the Time Master, but I rea...

Re: 2022: What Did You Do On Your Lawn Today?
I put down kelp help and BLSC (following @morpheusPA's lead) today... It was a little heartbreaking to recall the beautiful spring flush and look at the straw field now. My front is hilly and gets the brunt of the afternoon sun, so it is weird. The backyard looks pretty good and the front looks like...

Re: No more triathlons for me this year
Glad that you got to the hospital on time and things are improving for you! I have had two friends killed on road bikes over the last few years. When the second person was hit a few years ago, I sold my bike. I used to ride 100 miles a week. It is too dangerous with idiots living on their phones and...

Re: Milo on dormant lawn
The grasshopper comments are making me laugh since I just watched Jurassic World Dominion and they have very large locusts flying around.

Re: Difficulty cutting thick lawn
My Toro dealer is also a SCAG dealer. They're going to let me demo a new SFC30! Sweet! Mrs. Hammbone just rolls her eyes. +1 for buying from a dealer and not Home Depot! Horsepower baby!

Re: Milo on dormant lawn
I watched that 30% chance of showers dwindle to no rain at all for at least 9 days. There's a faint, off-chance of a thunderstorm today, but with 45% humidity, I'm not counting on it. The lawn actually still looks pretty good, and this year, again, it's a sharp dividing line between mine and the ne...

Re: Rabbits
Eight per gallon seems...excessive. Two to three is more normal, with surfactant to make sure the moles really don't like it. :-) Plus it mixes with the water when you add surfactant to form an emulsion. I think I'm getting it under control now. The original activity was mostly underground with the...

Re: Rabbits
Check the price of castor oil by the gallon at Soaper's Choice and see if it's cheaper. Maybe so, maybe no. I was lazy and Amazon was easy, and I started to panic as the moles reacted to the spray by moving into other areas. You warned us, but I was pressed for time with summer travel (after COVID ...
