I'm looking for some guidance on developing an annual schedule. Is there a thread somewhere where members have posted their favorite products and yearly application schedules? Here are some additional specific questions I have so far:
When/how often to use tenacity?
When/how often to use fungicides?
Any other products that you think should be in everyone's regimen?
I'm definitely interested in conditioning the soil to be as healthy as possible, so product recommendations targeting that would be especially appreciated.
Thanks!

Re: Recommendations for the lesser known products
The best guidance I have is read up here, get a soil test from logan labs for specific recommendations for your soil, figure out what weeds you have and a strategy to defeat them - along with whatever disease you may have. Read the articles - triangle approach, disease prevention, soil management, nitrogen feeding, winterization.
Lawns are highly variable - there is no one-size-fits-all approach that yields stellar results. Big lawn care companies offer four step programs like this, but the results are limited.
Understand what you have - dirt, grass, weeds, disease - and where you want to go - eventually you'll end up adding the calendar to your compost pile

I'd also suggest changing one variable at a time to see how your lawn reacts. If you start doing more than one new thing at a time you won't be sure which variable affected what and in what capacity.
For the soil - read the FAQs and Articles sections of the site. You'll want to get edumacated :)
