Drob’s 2020 spring Reno

Post by drob14 » March 24th, 2020, 11:36 am

Hello all, I know it’s frowned upon to do a spring Reno but I had no other option! Leveled the lawn with 5 yards of topsoil/compost mix. Used 4th millennium/traverse2 tttf/ bewitched kgb. Hoping to start getting good germination soon! It’s been a week since I put it down but of course the projected forecast was completely wrong! Fingers crossed.

What kind of error are you getting, and how are you posting them (mobile or laptop)?

Reno was completed on the 16th. After today in NJ it should be high 50's low 60's from here on out so hopefully I start getting some germination.

How much dirt was that you added? It looks like it will be nice and level.

About 5 yards of a topsoil/ compost mix. Still have a few spots that need some work to get perfectly level but way better then before!

Put down Scott’s starter fertilizer with tenacity yesterday . Also got seed in from seed super store on Saturday and hopefully this weekend I will reseed some bare spots from washout.

Weed pressure seems tolerable for a Spring reno!

Honestly barely any weeds at all so far! All that in the picture is, is the stupid helicopter things from the trees cause it's been so windy lately.
