Home Depot or Lowe's should have 10-10-10 or 13-13-13 for super cheap. Home Depot will also have that Lesco Starter 18-24-12 if you want to price compare. Thanks I was just looking into wether I could use a garden balanced fertilizer instead. HD had 10 10 10 available for 40lb bag at 13.00 bucks a ...

I called my local Site One, the best balanced fertilizer they currently have in stock is lesco 18 24 12. Any suggestions on application rate? Thanks

By performing the soil amendments and adding a balanced fertilizer, should I continue paying for professional lawn services throughout the rest of the season? My next visit is scheduled on the 17th for early summer late spring fertilization.

I’m assuming I still should go ahead and apply the foliar fas regardless if I’m going to try and remediate the high magnesium levels with fast acting gypsum?

I've used it and have written about it on the site. It works well. PS: if you buy 5 or more bags, it's 10% cheaper... Thanks Andy, any particular order in putting this stuff down? As far as the OM, the only free option for me is to continue mulching the clippings and leaves in the fall. I will also...

The Lowe’s which is local to me had Sta-Green fast acting gypsum at around 10 bucks a bag. Is this product on par with the rest like Pennington etc?

Ok, if I am gonna do it I’m not gonna cut corners.

Also any reason why I can’t apply granular FAS instead? It’s would be a pretty daunting task to apply liquid to such a large area. Although I may be willing to purchase a backpack sprayer since I have come this far. Thanks

Thanks for the reply Andy, do you feel it’s worth a shot at trying to remediate the Magnesium issue? My main concern in the time being is a healthier lawn and color as well. There are some large areas with thinning and moss filling in those bare areas. The color of the lawn is poor in my opinion and...

Lol maybe just a high water table...

Hope I’m doing this correctly, total lawn is 30,000+ sq/ft. Mixed cool season grass with partial shade on half of the property. I’m interested in simple instructions at the moment to get my soil in proper conditions. I currently hired a lawn care company to treat the lawn for fertilization and weed ...

All of the grasses you mentioned can bleach some with Tenacity - especially the first time it is applied. PR and TTTF are more sensitive than KBG. The good grasses recover in a couple of weeks, and Poa Annua doesn't recover. Tenacity is not a one-and-done though - the 4 oz/a rate needs to be reappl...

I applied 1 application of Tenacity on my northern mixed lawn last week or so at a rate of 4oz/acre and have seen some bleaching. I am curious if this is normal for fescue, kbg, prg, or is this possible a grassy weed mixed in? https://i.postimg.cc/vDW20CCG/0-A731-ACC-7398-4187-8-D66-4-BFA077-C137-A....

Can somebody help me identify these seed heads as well as this grassy weed? https://i.postimg.cc/2qSvK5nG/0-CF3-F8-BE-8414-4-C25-B504-999-D531-CF1-CA.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/VSZMQcR8/1-ACFBB18-7-E6-A-4-A83-B9-A7-F9-A34-B7-CD78-C.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/R63tvbsn/BA93-CAD5-08-C1-45-FB-A1-E7-19-D050-...

One other question, I’m interested in putting Ironite down to hep with the color. When would be the best time to put it down? Should I wait until my soil sample comes back?

Received my tenacity today, and also sent out a soil sample
to Logan Labs. I have some creeping bent grass that’s creeping into my lawn pretty heavily from the edge of my lawn. Probably close to 800 sq ft. When would be the best time to light it up with Tenacity? How many applications?

Thanks Andy, is a generic pump sprayer from HD suffice?

I just ordered tenacity, mark it blue, and a surfactant. Can anybody guide me in the dosage to do a diagnostic blanket spray?

Can I purchase Tenacity here in NY? I thought you needed a license here in NY to buy herbicides?

Thanks for the tips, I the mean while I will get a soil test done and take some additional photos. I have to look into where I could get the grass identified in my local area. What’s your thoughts on powerseeding? I had my lawn company give me quote for that service as well as adding a hydra guard p...
