How old is the Elite KBG?

I feel both you and CTSG are placing much to much trust in the pure annual life cycle belief. Possibly true. However, I am NOT going to polka-dot heaven. I refuse. I do not expect Pre-M's to remove it. I expect to eliminate annual types of Poa A over a two-year period by having a permanent barrier,...

Yeah - smart. Look at it this way - I have 30% Poa Annua coverage right now and see a two-year battle to remove it with pre-M's. I won't even take pictures of it. And I walk around and say to myself "at least it isn't Triv". That says a lot. And I could use Certainty. Got to go --- it's off to the F...

I'm not saying that I believe that type of explosion is going to happen to anyone else, but basic cautions like bagging clippings and washing mowers are strongly encourage by yours truly. And I don't think that even a hot summer is going to kill it. One man's opinion, but I think once you have it, y...

For Triv? No, sorry - I don't agree. I'm doing that regimen for Poa Annua, but for Triv I don't think it would work. My Triv exploded from a few small spots to 3,000 square feet in half a season with last year's perfect Triv conditions (rainy, continuous cloud cover). I never want to see that again....

JG:

I'll trade your skunk for my bear. Deal?

"Dimension" is general-use licensing.

Maybe Pennsylvania is different, but in most places Lesco can't sell you products that are "restricted license" products. They can sell you "general use" products that are marketed to professionals. Velocity and Tenacity are products that are winding their way through the licensing process. First, t...

The UCONN advice is terrible. Almost all major agricultural colleges recommend never putting down more than 50 lbs of Dolomitic at once. And Dolomitic can remain in the top 3 inches of the soil for up to two years! Normally, I recommend six months between applications of Dolomitic. But you kind of h...

andy, they only thing is none of this grass had seedheads form at all

No seed heads? Oh, God - somebody get me a barf bag!

Any comments on the clump weeds? Bueller, anyone?

Some of it looks like mature unimproved Tall Fescue. Image Two isn't, in my opinion. #2 is Grassus Crappus.

Please post close-ups of the grass in the fourth picture. I got a nauseous feeling all of a sudden.

I'm thinking Andy's going to be along mentioning that a combo of fast calcitic and some dolomitic would be better; your calcium levels are nothing to write home about. As in, they stink. I sort of wish you hadn't thrown down the Dolomitic. You currently have a not-so-good Ca:Mg ratio, and the Dolom...

to avoid the ugly lighter green floppy look When I had serious Poa Triv last year, it was the "floppy" thing that drove me crazy. I was consulting for Pfizer then. I swore that I was going to grind up a ton of expired, out-of-date Viagra and spread it in the Poa Triv areas. Now THAT would correct t...

They "might" need more than 1" if you get a string of 95+ degree days.

That's why God gave you eyeballs.

And why it wasn't the 11th Commandment.

You have to use your head. 1/7" of an inch every day does NOT count as an inch a week. Period. But Summer brings another challenge - the 1" of rain in 15 minutes thunderstorm. Too much run-off. Here's a rough repeating of a conversation when my wife picked me up from the train station last night: Me...

Gary's reference to a "cocktail" refers to mixing two different herbicides into the same water and applying them as one application. You have to know your herbicides, be a very careful measurer and know how to adjust dilution rates so that the square footage to be covered is the same for both herbic...

Yeah, sure - why not?

do u put down a pre-m also in the spring here on LI ?

It does that everywhere, even Anarctica (not kidding!).

Post the brand and whatever when you get a moment - I had to take out a second mortgage for the 38 lb 3SP (TSP) that I bought, because it was the only one I could find.

What did it cost?
