The yard was preped by the builder. I put the seed down. The lot had been woods until they cleared it. When teh final grade was done, a lot of soil was brought in for the front but none in the back. He used a small tractor with a Harley Rake on it to prep the lawn. I guess the Poa could have been in...

ok. I'll push mow. :banghead: I am assuming that this stuff came with the seed I purchased from summit seed. The lawn is about 12 months old and I have this stuff everywhere. My neighbors on the left and right do not. How unusual would it bee for seed to be contaminated this way. I will need more se...

So the certainty is ordered and should be here Tuesday or so. Then it will take me a few days to cover all 30-40K sqft of the lawn with my 2 gallon sprayer. The weather here has been really cold and rainy but it is supposed to start getting into the 70s. Do I really need to bag my clippings until I ...

I was planning to do my first fertilization of the year this weekend. If I am goint to use the certainty next week, should I hold off? Will the fert be beneficial to my real grass which will be under stress? I would be using milorganite or ringers.

[quote="andy10917"]Read Turf_toes blog, and my experiences with it and JGLONGISLAND's too.quote] Andy - cany you point me to where to find those? Went to Lesco this morning. Guy there agrees that it is Poa T and is impressed at how mature it was for this time of year. He wasnt really familiar with t...

I really do feel like I'm watching a sci-fi/horror movie while reading this thread. An ancient beast let loose upon the land... Learned masters training the young hero... Military scientists/strategists in the backroom discussing the precision required for success and finding new ways to battle the...

If getting the mix just right is important, I would probably be better off using a pump style sprayer rather than my ortho hose end sprayer. Does that sound right?

Yup. Lesco is where I got mine. Ok. Can you tell me what to expect from certainty? Will the poa turn brown and die or just slowly disappear? Any thing else it will kill? Also why did I get it this spring and none last spring? Was it in the seed? My neighbors who have new lawns seeded in the fall wi...

Thanks. Can I get certainty at Lesco?

Sorry Andy - I missed your first question about whether it grew in bunches or irregualr circular areas ... Right now it is in bunches. But if the bunches keep spreading, I guess they will form .... an irregular circular pattern

This is one of those occassoions where anticipation does not feel very good. Here are the answers to your questions... 1) are the leaves crinkly at all? - No (2) does it seem to prefer slightly shady or wet areas, although it will grow anywhere? Yes. (3) did it create seedheads in the past 4 weeks, ...
