MaineJayhawk Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 SRI this past weekend everything looked like late spring. Pretty dull brown with some green up here. Things ready to pop if we get warm next week. Euro? Euro? Things here are still as brown as the backside of the Rev's speedo. Looking for the last of the snow to melt possibly by the weekend.

Mr Torchey Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Is a synthetic bland landscape worth risking our childs IQ? Brutal findings came out today in the medical journals, really disheartening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzucker Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Is a synthetic bland landscape worth risking our childs IQ? Brutal findings came out today in the medical journals, really disheartening. Well my yard is full of blooming weeping cherries and forsythia, daffodils, and vinca. As well as various vegetable patches with everything from Cheyenne Bush winter squash to Early Girl tomatoes...All organic of course! So hopefully mine is a stimulating landscape.

Read the warnings, do the research, and be open minded. Read MSDS's on the products www.msds.com They outlawed some of the older stuff for a reason, and I bet in 10 years some of these other ones will be banned as well. Moderation is key.

mattb65 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Key 2 words in that article FOOD CROPS Nice try to spin it though This was also further along in the article The researchers recommended that consumers reduce their home use of pesticides, noting that most home and garden pests can be controlled without those chemicals. If pesticides are needed, they said bait stations should be used instead of sprays.They also said that consumers should thoroughly wash fruits and vegetables; go beyond a quick rinse and use a soft brush, if practical. Consumers could also consider buying organic produce when possible as a way to reduce pesticide exposure from food, they said. At least your chipmunk traps get the thumbs up.

Mr Torchey Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Key 2 words in that article FOOD CROPS Nice try to spin it though I guess you did not read it correctly? IF you seriously think that the crap you are putting on your lawn has no ill effects on you, your family and neighbors not to mention the environment then you are kidding yourself. However Kevin, I am sure that is not the case, I think its as simple as you do not care, which is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Very nice lawn....and no rodent slaughter either I assume.... Mine is 80% green now and a few minor tufts of growth here and there, but at least a week before I could cut it. This weeks mild humid stuff may finally push it into real growth mode. Spring is in full swing now, 2nd cut was this morning, I like to cut every ten days. All organic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 My lawn (2 acres to cut) is filled with clover, field grasses (canary, timothy, etc.), birds foot treefoil, etc.... when the treefoil blooms it is covered with yellow flowers between cuttings. When you are surrounded with all this stuff you have to go with it because there is no way to eradicate it with the seeds endlessly blowing in off the fields. But it looks perfectly neat and fine when cut. LOL...what an eyesore..I spot treat any clover ..That stuff is brutal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherMA Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 First cut this weekend I would say. That's about on par with average; anytime in the last 2 weeks of April and first week of May is usually the first time the mower comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably have at least a week before I cut it... maybe more. Got my mower tuned and sharpened, Lots of work to do in the meantime.

Baroclinic Zone Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Slow green-up on the lawn with the slow release fertilizer. Still a couple weeks from mowing. Lawn needs some TLC as best I can with all the damage it took last year from the dry conditions, heat, and grubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily we have a tiny lawn here in Dobbs, but I mow it a couple times during the summer with a push mower. Really need the beer after that!

B-Rent Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I posted this in the other lawn and garden thread I saw: Does anyone have a reccomendation on a good push mower? I have about 1/3-1/2 acre to mow. Self propelled is a plus. Going to purchase on Friday, so looking for reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
