How Quickly Does "Aggressive" Get Aggressive?
Mallory: My newly-planted monostand of "Emblem" is 26 days old, and doing OK with only one problem. Since it was planted on a sloped yard, a 2.2" rainfall washed out some areas. I reseeded those areas three days ago. So, yesterday I posted pictures of it. Drinyth made a joke about "since it is aggre...

Re: UMass Results
The monohydrate is fine. That means attached to one water molecule.
With the Copper Sulfate, the pentahydrate is fine. Guess what pentahydrate means?
Hint: say "five water molecules".

Re: UMass Results
Then its off to EBAY and the pretty sands for you. Get Zinc Sulfate and Copper Sulfate - you'll probably have to buy a pound of each. And locate Twenty Mule Team Laundry Soap at the local grocery. Let me know when you have them.
In the meantime - paging Morph!!! Another victim.

Re: UMass Results
BD: I certainly can't explain the change in "P" readings. With a high CEC, there is no way that it leached away in a year. Any chance that last year's readings were right after a fertilizer application? OK, let's explain why the CEC is so different. CEC is determined to estimate soil texture by addi...

No need to call the "people you know" - the high-protein feeding was TTDM (Tow Truck Driver Meal).

He thought that he needed to avoid an overhanging tree (he didn't) and back up the driveway (he didn't need to do that either, the driveway wraps completely around the house). The damage is 40' long and almost a foot deep in spots where he spun the wheels.

Re: Poa Plantation Nightmare and Renovation
Well, Day 26 at the Poa Plantation renovation, and the headaches continue... The grass that came up is doing well - the best areas are an inch and a half tall. There are too many bare spots due to the heavy rain wash-out on the slope (2.2" rainfall), but I hit the bare/thin areas with some additiona...

Re: soil test
Yes. Ah-ha!!! Several things: Morph: I can't scan it - the print is tiny and a Fax of a copy of a printed page. Almost unreadable as-is. All: OK. The mystery is solved - the ratings are in kilograms/hectare. You cursed us, Morph. The ratings are in French (like all good Quebecois businesses). That s...

Morph:I'm dearly hoping the OP mistyped some of these numbers because otherwise it's just scaring me.

Re: soil test
Is it a PDF, or if it is on paper, can you scan it in? Tell us what you have. Also, tell us how you got the sample (depth and how many sample locations).
