An Alumnus Returns to ST6

Post by andy10917 » October 20th, 2016, 9:36 pm

ST6 is pleased to announce that an alumnus with one or two (OK, more than 5) soil test interpretations under his belt is returning to the fold.

We'd like to introduce MorpheusPA to those that don't know him, and to those of you that DO know him, our sincere condolences...

Welcome back Morpheus. I actually found ATY when looking for one of your posts on another forum a few months ago.

Well, maybe five or six tests I've done, and one or two of those lawns didn't up and die. So I have a pretty good 16%-40% average or so.

God help you.

My availability will be more limited through early November, but after the election I'll have more time.

Thanks, folks!

Myrtle is doing just fine, but is growing bored. With the drought, I think I mowed three times this summer!

Oh geez, welcome back morph! Just to let everyone know, he was one of the main factors I ended up with about 2,000 lbs of organics dropped on about 500sq/ft over the course of one season, so be careful!

Good to see you back around, was wondering where you went?

Yours was a name that was always quoted and in older posts I would search but never newer ones. Good to have you back!

What the... Morpheus is back?!! If he's back from not posting since 2013, the least I can do (having also not posted anything since 2013) is post a "Welcome Back!" :)
