T-Pac also says the same thing..

"To minimize possible turf injury, apply T-Pac E-Pro MEC Plant Growth Regulator at least 4 hours before mowing or at least 1 hour after mowing."

Mowed the lawn yesterday and finished planting the remaining shrubs (ornamental reed grasses, catmint, salvia may nights, and shasta daisies).

Today I spread GrubEx1 and sprayed some milk and BLSC+KH.

Got out early today to catch the rain. Started a Compost tea Saturday night. Filtered it and put it down in the rain. I got lucky on timing.
This was the first time I used the tow behind to put it down. I had a few issues but problem solved them quickly, overall it worked great.

Applied BLSC + Kelp Help, together with Serenade. The combination of the aromas of Herbal Essence and rancid peanut butter was...intoxicating.

Waiting for the rain which keeps getting pushed back

Got 1/3-inch of rain. Should hold us over for 4-5 days until the irrigation is turned on.

Picked up 120lbs of encap fast acting lime. If you are a BJs member they have $3 off the price right now.

Manually watered some areas of the lawn that looked stressed. Was hoping for rain today, as forecasted, but it didn't happen.

Went over to my mothers and spot sprayed some dandelions. KGB in my experience or maybe it's the lack of shade in her yard seems to be easier than my mixed fescue to take care of. She is totally surrounded by dandelions. Got home cleaned 2 gallon sprayer and picked up another bird feeder. I'll get that up on a post Friday.

Another cut with the reel. That's #4 so far. Taking off at least an inch each time. More milo. This time bag rate or slightly under. Supposed to get a decent rain tonight/tomorrow. Cooler temps will keep the soil moist hopefully. Starting to see some increased density in the sunny spots and especially next to the foundation. First year lawn go go go! :)

Picked up my SOP and inquired about TSP. Sprayed some broadleafs with bayer advanced+cg. May drop some Vitamin-OG tomorrow. I need to get my olfactory senses back in the game.

Sprayed for the first time ever PGR (T-nex) tank mixed with FAS on the monostand. Grass looking great right now even with the low rain totals.
