Got it. Just say NO to the Supina...

Perfect, thanks! I knew there would be a reason

In the cations, you're short on Calcium and Magnesium, and fine on the Potassium. That's a bit unusual, but the easiest scenario to fix. You need to get and apply a good Calcitic Lime (Encap/Mag-I-Cal/Solu-Cal) and mix the "heavy rate" on the bag with 2 lbs/K of Epsom Salts. Apply it at 2lbs/K over...

Thanks for all of the info. I'll look into the Jumpstart for quicker germination, & will avoid TTTF (as I do often hear that it doesn't blend well).

Thanks for all the information. I'll try to come up with a good plan for next year. Doing sections each year sounds like a good idea.

Thanks. I'm currently trying to find a good deal on a used John Deere (a real JD, not a Home Depot JD).

Yes, but...I didn't go to page 2 (I completely missed that there was a 2nd page earlier). Sorry...

Thanks. I saw that thread but thought it was only Triv that he tried, not Supina.

In any case, do we know why he ended up killing the Supina?

The area next to my driveway (on the other side from my main/front lawn) is very, very shady. I've tried pretty much any/all shady/dense shade mixes I've been able to find, and while it looks great in the spring, once the leaves come in fully it very quickly gets sparser and sparser. Would Supranova...

Thanks so much and totally understood on all that you said. In theory I just want to introduce more KBG for it's ability to recover and repair. I like the overall quality of TTTF, but am afraid it'll stand out if I introduce it into a nomix.

Following my other post on how to overseed, I'm also getting stuck on what to overseed with. I have an existing nomix lawn (PR,FF, KBG). I did a lot of spot seeding (some decent size areas) with just PR and KBG this fall. I don't have irrigation. It's mostly sunny but some areas are sun/shade (so I ...

I've read through this: https://aroundtheyard.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=61:steps-to-overseeding-steps-to-new-establishment&catid=11&Itemid=118 and while it's pretty simple/straightforward, I have 20k sq ft of lawn, so I can't really (easily anyway) rake it up after mowing so l...

Andy, thank you. I've been in touch with Preferred Seed so I'll work with them next year to order by seed. Seiyafan, as Green said, triv grows much faster/quicker. I don't have a pic handy, but while my new PR is just a few inches tall (and even when it was just spourting), the poa triv was quickly ...

Hi Andy. Quick follow-up; is blue tag ok, or does it have to say sod quality? For example, below are 2 tags that different vendors sent me: https://i.postimg.cc/LhG3RXXr/KBG.jpg As you can see, the one on the left is blue tag, the one on the right is sod eligible. Is the one on the left not good eno...

I would mix that amount into no less than 8 bags. So I did it. 8 bags of Milo across my 20k sq ft lawn, with just under 1/2 cup of each micronutrient per bag, which seemed like a lot actually (the math was 3.75 cups of each, so divided by 8 bags is .46875 cups of each per bag). I did as was suggest...

Thanks for the clarification and understood on having it look bad. I would only plan to spot spray with the Certainty/blanket spray on areas not too large. Larger areas (if I get them again) I would just round-up. At least I think that's the plan. We'll see how bad it is in the spring...

Did you use sod-quality seed? Not sure if sod quality per se, but I ordered/used United Seed Sure Shot R (90% KBG / 10% Rye) with a 0 crop/0 weed blue tag, and United Seed 5 Iron PR (I can't find the tag right now but it was 0/0). I also used some 0/0 Double Eagle Lesco PR (not blue tag), and Green...

Sorry, following-up this old post as I may use Certainty next spring/early summer; I'm still not sure if I should be using .5 twice (21 days apart), or .25 three times (also 21 days apart). Per the old label it seems like I should use .50 twice, to control triv in KBG, but it was mentioned above tha...

So I'm pulling the sporadic triv that's cropping up here and there in my reseeded areas (it's at 5 or 6 inches vs. my 3" new grass so it's easy to spot), but I'm also noticing more large patches coming in where I didn't previously roundup/seed (and either missed a few weeks ago or it's just spreadin...

We'll find a use for it - double-bag it in plastic garbage bags so it doesn't absorb moisture and put it away cool and dry.

Great, thanks!
