Re: I got a visit from the County Water Department

I'm sitting in my home office and a County Water Dept van pulls up. The guy gets out with a clipboard. He looks at the clipboard and then he looks at my lawn. Then back to the clipboard. Then he looks at my neighbor's lawns. Mind you we are in a historic drought here. My lawn is an emerald green. S...

Wally, is the link below the ...

You ever see or smell skunks? They will scratch and dig to find grubs.

Tall fescue sprout and pout?

I seeded an area with some tttf. Does tttf do the sprout and pout thing or is it the unusual cold weather that I've been having?

Also, are birds a problem eating tttf seed?

Re: What is this and how do I get rid of it?

I've thrown in the towel on grass ID ever since NC State TurfFiles went offline. Find yourself a good online grass ID resource, and you will be your best bet for a positive ID. As Andy noted, you've got the plant in hand and can identify the key features by eye better than any pictures you take can...

Re: Seed calculation between types

So if I were to buy a blend that contains 10% kbg, that 10% would be by the application rate, not the total weight of the bag. Am I correct on that?

Seed calculation between types

How much KBG would one use per 1000sf if the mix was Fescue 90 KBG 10? Lets say 8 lbs of fescue?

Anyone ever come across a mixture calculator?

Topsoil over moss?

I had a few trees removed after the last ice storm pulled them down. It's amazing to see tree roots hold rocks. Anyway, the area will need a few inches of topsoil to even things out. There was some heavy moss where the trees were shading. Is it ok to cover the moss with the soil and sow seed, or tre...

Re: Glade KBG?

I was thinking that too. must be old? How did they get that to test?

I wonder why they bother testing? Anyway it did well.

How much difference is there between a 6.2 and a 5.7 rating if one were looking at the two?

Re: Glade KBG?

My bad. It is under the low maintenance, KBG, page 67.

Is low maintenance the same as scheduled C?
