Re: GRRR! Neighbor conduct or maybe I'm wrong about that
If you catch them in the act, quickly run out with a container of water and flush the **** out of the spot on which the dog peed. Not only will you dilute the pee, but you'll send a passive-aggressive message to the owner.

Re: Weed battle and now POA Triv
Hello again all, I used to be more active, both on this Forum and with my lawn, but life got in the way for several years. I'm retired now (except for my Carl the Greenskeeper part-time job at the local Muni golf course), so I hope to become more active in both. Anyway, among other issues, I have a ...

Andy,
I received mine from 7 Springs within a week. I'd forgotten how...distinctive...Serenade smells!

Ooops, sorry, I see that you want to *raise* your soil's pH. Never mind.

Re: Professional sports fields - pH maintenance?
Hi Bales, I am probably as far from an expert as you will find here, but I have the same issue as you and have done a lot of research about it. From my 4 soil tests between 2014 and 2017, my average soil pH is 7.7 :( I, too was desperate to find a way to lower the pH, and I believed some sites which...

FWIW, I paid less than $5 more for the 2.5 gallons from 7 Springs Farm, compared to 3 years ago.

Re: Snow on May 9th? Really?
I guess that I'm going to have to haul in the sod pots. Also, between the Kung Flu virus and cold weather, the golf course that I work at has gotten precious little play so far this year. I'm told that the greens and fairways have never looked so good.

Back From the Dead and Ready to Party
Hello Everybody! It's been a long hiatus, both from the Forum and and from the lawn. Mostly boring reasons, but it boils down to too little time and too little money. I'm mostly retired now, except for doing what I consider an ultimate retired guy job--maintenance at one of the Fort Wayne-owned golf...

Re: Earthway S15 Sprayer Review
Sorry to bump such an old thread (and I don't know if Jeff from Earthway still visits here), but I wanted to add my two cents to the reviews here, since I used my S15 for the first time yesterday. First, especially with a completely full tank, pushing this thing is a workout--both upper and lower b...

Re: Dogs of ATY
Glad to announce that my lawn will once again be the recipient of dogorganite! As you know, our Winston, Cocker Spaniel died just before last Christmas, but we have adopted a mother doggie and her son from a local rescue. Maddie is a 2 1/2 year old coonhound/foxhound mix. The father of her 5 month-o...

Made the first application of Primo/Proxy last Sunday, and man, am I glad I did. Noah just sailed by in his ark.

Re: Earthway S15 Sprayer Review
Thanks, Pway. I did email Earthway, and Jeff responded very quickly with an offer to send me a replacement pump. I am very pleased with Earthway's customer service. I also own a 2050P spreader, which I also love. Great people to do business with.

Re: 2017: What did you do on your lawn today?
Last Sunday, actually, but I took advantage of the warm weather by cleaning up the lawn. 4 bags of leaves from the neighbor's trees, assorted Christmas wrapping and Amazon boxes from last week's windy recycling day, and scooped up the last Doggie-Organite our Cocker Spaniel will ever contribute. He ...

Re: oze 2016 Soil Test Results
Thank you, Morph! Glad to see you back, and to be the beneficiary of your expert advice. Looks like a very doable plan; I look forward to beginning my soil supply shopping in a couple of months. Thanks again!

oze 2016 Soil Test Results
Hello, All It's been a long year--laid off for 3 months and unable to justify spending money on the lawn, then found a great job. Unfortunately, it involves being in the car for a 2:30 round trip commute, after which who feels like doing anything but picking up my guitar and a bourbon and playing th...

Re: Fair Warning: End of Season for ST6
Hey Morph,
I'm not near my home computer much at all these days, but I will have some results to interpret later in this month or early next, if you are around. Thanks!

What Fungus Do I have? Wrong Question!
...at least in my lawn's case, the question should be, "What fungi do I have?". Earlier in the summer, I diagnosed an area (using this excellent site: http://turfdiseaseid.ncsu.edu/) as having a mild infestation of powdery mildew. No problem, I'll just up the Serenade apps and let the disease run it...
