So far each fall I think I come into the Fall fertilizer Program with unrealistic expectations. In theory I should get 7 urea apps based on the avg. first frost date. This week the lawn finally looked good, but its been almost 5 weekly Urea apps to get there. There may be some spreading, but I have...

Andy, what are your thoughts on dissolving and going liquid vs granular. I feel I can get more accurate coverage spraying vs using my larger spreader. Does it need to be watered in as much or any sooner than granular? I haven't done it yet myself.

Have you ever seen the movie The Money Pit? Tell her "two weeks".

CLASSIC!

Ever tried a plastic tarp? If its not a huge yard, that will do a decent job. Dont ask me how I know. The kids sure had fun on their 10x100ft slip and slide though. I've seen people a whole front yard with clear plastic. Mine was black. Less than 23hrs cooked s pretty good section. Not sure which wo...

If I had the funds and resources I would start bagging Minnegrow here in Minnesota. Basically the same as milo up in the suburbs of Minneapolis. But they only sell to farmers as of now. I tried getting my hands on some as the distributor is in my small town. But wouldnt deal with anyone unless you g...

I tried the spf30 a few yrs ago reading into the hype. Mixed with some midnight on a partial reno. Not impressed at all.

Been price matching at Lowe's for yrs. When fleet farm or menards has it for 6 bucks. I go to lowes and get it plus the 5 percent price match, plus another 5% on my lowes card saves me 10 percent total. 5.40 a bag. I wish i didnt need 20 bags though.

Can i chime in here without hijacking. I dont have thatch, but I have a lot of thin areas that have a lot of dead grass on the surface of the soil. I did run a pull behind tine rake this spring to try and get some of it up. But there is still a lot of it there. Do I simply need to get the turf to fi...

Thanks for chiming in on this Andy. My only other question as I am a rookue is, GCF is claiming theirs is better because it is not derived from a powder. Does that play into effect? I didn't think it would. But I'm no expert. Also do you think adding fulvic to KH would add anything worth mentioning?...

No, 4 separate jugs

What does your yard look like now?

I got the bio package this spring to try. Pete at Gci turf is a great guy to chat with. I used the rgs and air 8 this spring when i sprayed my prodiamine. I did notice a difference but it wore off like any fertilizer does. I only used a 1/4 of an app since i have such a large yard. I did just put on...

Ive been struggling myself to figure out how to run mine on the 1 acre I moved into last fall. I have 16 zones split between two controllers on a shared well. My wife doesn't want them run past 5am for when she gets up to take her shower. Otherwise there isn't enough pressure for that. So I start at...

I had an old co-worker do the same thing a few yrs back. Except the whole yard got nuked. His yard was in very bad shape to begin with, so I explained to him how this was a miracle in disguise. I helped him with a reno knowing half as much as I do now. And his yard looks amazing now. In my smaller y...

Im in the same boat as you. Purchased our 1.3 acres last year with roughly 1 acre lawn. 42.5k is irrigated. The previous couple had a decent company do their lawn. But I am hoping to beat it. So far the neighbors that are the weed and feed type think it looks good. I still wish it looked better and ...

I don't know the answer to your question as I just got my first batch of FAS. But if you don't mind, when do you like to apply it? Temp wise? My lawn is looking decent after some N ext and air 8 and just fertilizing. So not sure if I even need it now?

I put some on last night and thought it still smelled the same I guess.

Threw down 16lbs of milo in the dogs 500sqft area last night and a few thin/dead spots from last falls last app of urea that got a bit too much and not watered in. I was planning on doing the rest of my acre this week before we leave for the dells. But I think I will have to wait till this coming we...

It basically seems like urea, coated with humic and fulvic?? And potassium humate. Which I believe is potassium salt of humic? I did see the 44 as well. Im not sure how much the guys there will be able to explain either. They do have quite a variety of stuff there. But this one seemed most cost effe...

You're spot on with my thinking Green. With the late spring we had it feels like we are getting a late jump on things and I cant make a decision on what to do. I was looking at this from Reinders.. .https://www.reinders.com/products/andersons-22-0-4-50-hcu-43-black-gypsum-dg-sgn-240-50-lb-bag/ Going...
