2016: What did you do to or on your lawn today?

[bauer time]

Sharpened both sets of mulching blades today. Cut at 3.5" again. Not ready to make the leap to 4", 3.5 is just looking too good.

Mowed front (except overseed area which is growing out), side, and back at 3.25in. Put down 1.5 lb/K of Dimension 0-0-7 0.15% on garage side overseed area. That was 1 lb. Any less would have been impossible to spread.

Did the first half (0.5 lb/K N) of Spring Nitrogen on low-input area, consisting of 2 lbs/K of 12-24-10 and 3 lbs/K of Sustane 8-2-4. Also put down over 6 lbs of Epsom salt there.

On the main front: 3.5 lbs/K of 8-2-4 and 4.4 lbs/K of Milorganite 5-2-0.

Side front: 4.4 lbs/K of Milorganite. Still have to put down the Sustane next time.
Also still have to do both on the side and back. Have not even thought about SOP yet.

Then I'll repeat the whole thing in late June, but with micros mixed in.

Applied Bayer Fungicide at Curative Rate. Applied Milorganite at bag rate.

Just found out I sprayed my Bay State and micros yesterday (so the micros stick to the Bay State) with Witch Hazel not water.

[edenl01]

Sprayed CCO and 2-4d before the temperatures become out of tolerance. Looking at 90 and thick by weekend.

Mowed front at 1.125 again. Milo a tad heavier than bag rate. Sprayed phosphites at 2oz per k and added a dash of humic acid in the mix.

Sprayed another app of propiconazole (PATCHPRO). Dropped some Starter fert at 2 lbs per k. I really need to upgrade from my Scotts speedy green spreader! It was rough trying to do only 2 lbs per and it won't close all the way after making a pass.

got out in yard early yesterday to cut, edge, and cut down my tulips before the big storm that was supposed to hit but didn't actually arrive until 7...quickly realized it's time to clean the gutters again

I did 6 tons of gravel one weekend last year, still have nightmares about it.

Six TONS of gravel????? I was feeling better, but my legs, arms and back got sore again just from reading that!

Also, note to self: issue my highest recommendation and request to Mrs. oze to order the mulch *before* planting the little baby annuals next time.

it was brutal, def should have split it over two weekends but I thought since it was gravel that I could leave it there and work through it at a decent pace but my OCD wouldn't allow it

worst part was shoveling it and putting into wheelbarrow which I could only fill halfway due to the weight

Just admiring the lawn from the security cam here at work. The OceanGro drop just before the rain we got really helped. Beautiful day in NJ today, wish I'm out there mowing. LOL.

pretty steamy out there today similar to how it was on Saturday

looked out back at lunchtime and noticed the storm we had yesterday which wasn't even that bad ripped some shingles off my fairly new shed that I just had built on site in august...owner tells me he will come out to look at it but will prob have to charge me...yeah, good luck with that one

[Green]

Spot sprayed Velocity at half normal concentration. What a mess it makes of the lawn after a few sprays...but it's supposed to get rid of the Triv.

Got just under 2 inches of rain total yesterday.

[ericgautier]

Mowed the front/sides @3.5" just before the spot showers came.

[1977212]

Mowed at 4.5. It's going to be 93 Friday & Saturday. Wahoo.

[Pete1313]

Over the past 2 days I made holes 36" deep, drove an overloaded pickup on it multiple times, had wood and tools all over it, and got pressure treated sawdust all in it.. not anything special to it, but was definately all over it. Today I will mow my clover patch of a lawn.
