Re: Recovering from drought
I feel your pain... 2" of rain in South Central PA yesterday through today has me a little happier. More in the forecast.

Re: 2022: What Did You Do On Your Lawn Today?
Walked the property yesterday and sprayed some Bifen-IT around the house perimeter. Between the drought and my continuing mole problem, the yard is depressing. I have good SSS seed and fert ready, but a little unsure when to do it. I have a supply of water from my creek, but it has been hard to keep...

Re: No more triathlons for me this year
Wow... the varia looks very cool. Also, it was hard to give up and certainly, my cardio health has paid a price. The yard seems to be my exercise these days.

Re: Difficulty cutting thick lawn
Horsepower baby! That SFC30 is a beauty! I have the Toro Timemaster with the 223cc B&S engine and it rips--even in the spring when the lawn is growing like crazy. It looks like the SFC has a 224cc commercial grade Kohler. I'll bet this engine will rip too. I've considered the Time Master, but I rea...

Re: 2022: What Did You Do On Your Lawn Today?
I put down kelp help and BLSC (following @morpheusPA's lead) today... It was a little heartbreaking to recall the beautiful spring flush and look at the straw field now. My front is hilly and gets the brunt of the afternoon sun, so it is weird. The backyard looks pretty good and the front looks like...

Re: No more triathlons for me this year
Glad that you got to the hospital on time and things are improving for you! I have had two friends killed on road bikes over the last few years. When the second person was hit a few years ago, I sold my bike. I used to ride 100 miles a week. It is too dangerous with idiots living on their phones and...

Re: Milo on dormant lawn
The grasshopper comments are making me laugh since I just watched Jurassic World Dominion and they have very large locusts flying around.

My Toro dealer is also a SCAG dealer. They're going to let me demo a new SFC30! Sweet! Mrs. Hammbone just rolls her eyes. +1 for buying from a dealer and not Home Depot! Horsepower baby!

Re: Milo on dormant lawn
I watched that 30% chance of showers dwindle to no rain at all for at least 9 days. There's a faint, off-chance of a thunderstorm today, but with 45% humidity, I'm not counting on it. The lawn actually still looks pretty good, and this year, again, it's a sharp dividing line between mine and the ne...

Re: Rabbits
Eight per gallon seems...excessive. Two to three is more normal, with surfactant to make sure the moles really don't like it. :-) Plus it mixes with the water when you add surfactant to form an emulsion. I think I'm getting it under control now. The original activity was mostly underground with the...

Re: Rabbits
Check the price of castor oil by the gallon at Soaper's Choice and see if it's cheaper. Maybe so, maybe no. I was lazy and Amazon was easy, and I started to panic as the moles reacted to the spray by moving into other areas. You warned us, but I was pressed for time with summer travel (after COVID ...

I don't think we have had rain in over 3 weeks and were in a week long heatwave. I'm just going to let the yard be for now and hopefully we get some decent rain soon.

Re: Rabbits
This has turned into war! I feel like I have a family of twenty moles eating my whole front yard. Makes me want to cry, but I am using the castor oil and also a sprinkling of mole killing worms strategically placed. I also have stepped up from the 4oz bottles from CVS to... https://i.postimg.cc/VdZY...

Re: New Sod - identify the inconsistency?
My backyard was sodded in Aug 2020 and mine had inconsistencies like this too. This included areas that I was sure were dead. You may recall that the summer of 2020 was pretty hot and dry, and I was watering a lot. The contractor assured me that it would be ok. He was right... https://i.postimg.cc/H...

Re: Lesco Spreader
I’d like to chime in. I get striping all the time now. Never used to. Not sure why. I don’t walk as fast. Maybe that’s a problem for me? What's the spreader? Maybe it just needs to be cleaned to get an even drop from the shoot. Also, my spreader has an "edge guard" that allows you to run close to t...
