Looking good!

Also, my fungal issue has returned. Like clockwork, 10 days after the last Heritage app. I'm going to throw the changeup and hit it with propiconazole.

My fungus keeps coming back too. It's now in isolated areas only though, not all over. Mostly rust. Along the creek its the worst - where I get standing water and the roots are probably struggling for air. Some around my trees where it competes with tree roots.

I am going to spot spray this time.

A Heritage app for me is like $100, so I try not to do that too often hahahaha

^have you two tried lowering the HOC? I know it sounds counter intuitive, but with all the rain (and late evening rain) we had I slowly lowered it to 2in. The spots that were showing signs of fungus for me are now gone without the need of fungicide. Of course I'm not in a reno so YMMV.

HLG: I will be spot spraying now too. Just from the perspective that there are very clear areas where the problem persists. Oddly, some are full sun, some are shade. A few are adjacent to bare areas where I plugged this spring. One is in an area that came in nicely. I can't find any common factor, other than all areas have received light, frequent, Philes-y fertilization this year. Nor have I been able to identify the pathogen. I am continuing proactive, Serenade treatments as well. Hopefully this won't re-occur with the normal Nitrogen schedules in a 2-year post reno world.

G-man: I actually have raised my cut from 2 to 3 inches thinking that might help. First 2 rounds from 2" cut, this one at 3". Who knows...

Wasn't sure where to post these, so figured I'd do it in the reno thread. Domination line photos of my back/2016 reno. This will serve as my inspiration for the front which is going to need even more babying this spring.
