Re: Feeding the Hellstrip - OM ?

Heh, not debating the merit's of OM ! This time of the year or soon, while everyone is busy putting their leave streetside, I'm going around @ pickup night to put them into my compost. Heh, that is one that I'm always short of... I've wondered this many a times. If I see no worms, if I amend, etc. I...

Re: Tenacity after overseed

-Same results. It can whiten, damage, and/or kill any of the common cool season turfgrass seedling species.- Is this for all cool season grasses. And or in my readings, FF is more suspect to kill on on young seedlings ? I read post where I believe the poster was saying he applied it once every other...

Feeding the Hellstrip - OM ?

Hellstrip has got blacktop on one side and some concrete on the other.... I did give it a layer of compost on the overseed Is there any benefits on putting down some alfalfa pellets. The dirt in this area...whenever I have dug it, it's lifeless. Not a sign of worms, etc. I dunno if there's any life ...

Re: Tenacity after overseed

For clarity, tenacity should be applied at time of overseed (and or before it germinates) and or 3-4 weeks after germination if I recall on the label ? If I recall, it applied anywhere IN BETWEEN, it may kill off some, or and stunt the new seedling . This is only for KBG . What effects does it have ...

Re: Fertilizer for renovation

What's your take on Tenacity for new overseeding spots - fall Pre M ? I sprayed a smidge on area's where I overseeded. Give or take in 4-5 weeks, where KBG may be poking it's head, I'm thinking about another potential app as it wears off However, this might stunt the KBG - which I should do so it pr...

Transplanting Plug Pots

I've got various pots I've had that I've been planting/germinating as I have attain free ~plastic blueberry/strawberry trays LOL) . Some are fairly mature (blades are thick and mature, others are still germinated and still young). I went ahead and planted the mature blade pot plugs in some empty spo...

Crowns Self Adjust

Like plants, as they grow, they shift in the soil a smidge.

If one tops/levels the turf yearly (depending on how much is put down), does the crowns ---adjust--- to the height of the turf ?

Sandy Soil

Having never really worked with Sandy Soil, sorta brainstorming here. For those that do have sandy soil, aside from ~good cultural practices~ of amend, amend, amend, how are you guys keeping the nutri. enough for the grass. Topdress bi-yearly with compost. Fertz liquid of kelp ;-)

Re: RENOV SOD in a wasteland of weeds ?

The battle was lost before it ever began. I laid down KBG sod and threw down TTF. I sprayed down some Prod. on the adjacent sides. Had to make a impromptu visit , so I swung by the cemetary. Bits and pieces of the sod are still good *I suspect it's the TTF*. The rest is now dormant....Some area are ...

Re: Post pics of your peonies

I actually removed a good 70% of them to and made the peony bed a rose bed. While the peony blooms are great (for the 3-10 days the blooms last), one heavy spring rain and the blooms go poof and it's foliage for the rest of the year. Ha. Hence, we made the peony bed a English Rose Garden bed full of...

Re: How much peat moss could inhibit/prevent germination.

If you did not wet the peat before you laid it on and it was dry.....it will take awhile or a lot of rain to get it saturated. You could try a light watering with some baby shampoo or soap in the water mix just to help aid in getting the initial peat wet. And or boiling water ;-0

Re: Core Aeration - Overseed and Fill

I came across a couple of threads once you mentioned it was ~frowned upon~ on core aeration.
Will need to read some more. In my very brief skimming, (bad analogy), but it sorta reminded me how using some soap can help if one needed to ~rehydrate peat moss~ once it became dried out and hydrophobic

Re: Core Aeration - Overseed and Fill

To expand on a topic further, I thought core aeration was a good cultural practice at least 1X a year. Allows for nutrients, etc. My OP was re: compactation/lack of irrigation/better moisutere. But the principles of coring, better/longer root growth, etc still apply no ? Well, technically, looser so...

Re: Core Aeration - Overseed and Fill

I'm seeing liquid soil aerators online.....reviews seem favorable. Could only stick a screw in 1/2" . After said liquid aerator applied, screwdriver went in 6 inches .....unless its too much of a Billy Mays-esque sales pitch review
