Grass type: Primarily TTTF and KBG, but some fine fescue too. Pretty much a mutt lawn. I should have done complete renovation years ago. Instead, I killed areas (intentionally and unintentionally before I found ATY) and reseeded with elite KBG. The KBG has spread nicely over the years.
Disease: A few areas with TTTF in my backyard were hit hard by brown patch. I usually regularly apply Serenade, but couldn't keep up last year due to the rain. It was a bummer, but I want my KGB to spread so it will be a win in the long-term.
Routine: I mulch mow using the 1/3 rule and I mow high in the warmer weather. I rarely water, but do when needed. I use a PGR with ammonium ferrous sulfate. I always make sure that drop urea in the late fall.
Progress on last year's advice: I fell slightly behind on borax, iron, and Epsom salt apps, but I applied Mag-i-cal and SOP at the correct intervals. I only applied 4 bags of milo last year, mainly due to the weather and work issues (down from the average of 10-15 32 lb bags per season).
Areas needing improvement: Soil PH has been horrible, with a low of 5.4, but getting better after switching to Mag-i-cal. Working on calcium, iron, borax, potassium, magnesium, and OM.
Overall, the KBG is doing very well. It is still early, but some of the areas that have come to life are denser than I've ever noticed at this time of year. I finally feel like I won a nearly decade long battle versus yellow nutsedge.
Seeing some improvements in my soil test as well as some areas needing improvement. I definitely appreciate the help on the plan!
