Applied Prodiamine 65 WDG at 0.15oz/k in the front yard. Still no rain in So Central PA... watered the new turf and plants in the back again.

I get it at SiteOne Harrisburg PA. I think I paid $40 for 50lbs last year. They try to sell you timed release and get a little confused even about what they have, so press them to bring the bag out.

I also do a split app of Prodiamine and it seems to be working well. Look at the data sheet for what you are applying, so you know the duration of protection, and back up from typical Forsyhia blooms in your area. For my yard, I did Aug 20th in 2018, Aug 24th in 2019 and plan about the same for 2020...

Mowed the sod for the first time (3 weeks in) and finally had a nice long soaking rain overnight. Desperately needed the rain...

Watered the baby grass by the creek and the new landscaping in back. No rain in weeks... so watering 3/4 of an acre off my well is getting worrisome.

Walked the lawn today after 1+5/8" of rain last night to figure out what lawn work should be done today. Today would be a normal "mowing day" for us, being four days after the prior mowing. Seems to me that it has grown less than usual with the 85F-95F daytime highs we've had lately, but it's defin...

very helpful... Thanks Morpheus!

I've been offline for awhile as we dealt with covid and major renovation of our kitchen and back yard. The good news is that we have our house back and the yard looks great. Given the time of year, I elected to have them put down a fescue mix sod. I've been working on a long term soil conditioning p...

Cut at 3.5" and sprayed a second application of Triclopyr. Clover and grassy weeds pretty much gone. Also, moved some sod plugs to bare spots in the front.

Applied 50lbs of Ferrous Sulfate (2.3 lbs/k) with the tractor mounted prayer. Spot sprayed glyphosate. Also, mounted and played with the Johnny Bucket as I get ready to use the new toy for tan bark this year.

Second mowing and spot sprayed Triclopyr

It seems to be perhaps the only solution... I recommend you start by reading Ken-n-nancy's excellent journal thread on the issue:

Good guidance? Nothing specific. There just comes a time around late May in my yard where the lawn seems to start to "lose its steam" and that's when I pick up with the Nitrogen efforts for the year. The people with "itchy trigger fingers" want to get outside and do something and often pull the tri...

My opinion... This process is a marathon. Continue to read and learn. Start with a simple pyramid approach to weeds. Next step, get a soil test from Logan Labs, so you can get a good plan. Two years from now, you will be thrilled.

Look at page 2 for the appropiate application rates and page 3 for the reseeding instructions. If you apply correctly, it seems that a fall reseeding shouldn't be a problem.

I've had the Earthway 2170 commercial for a few years and it works great. It has pneumatic tires and 100 lb capacity. Now, on my hilly terrain, I tend to keep the loads below that...

Mounted my deck and did a little cutting. At 4" cut hejght, I had a suprising amount of clippings to mulch for mid-March. Also, cleaned up some debris.

I just got word from Susan Shaner, owner of Logan Labs, and she says that they are open and testing for as long as they are able.

Grass is green and growing with fursythia and daffodils blooming.

Is your lawn greened-up and beginning growth? If not, providing Nitrogen can have the effect of forcing it to break dormancy, and that can lead to stress in the short-term. Stress often rears its head as fungal disease later. If you don't wait for green-up and natural growth, and the grass DOESN'T ...
