ELCwx Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 The stuff at Home Depot is not the same . It's got filler in it. To get the real stuff you have to go to a professional lawn place. There's a commercial John Deere Landscaping place in South Windsor, that sells it. Thanks. I used the HD stuff last fall and even if it isn't as good, my lawn looks better than any other on my steet right now for the first time in 15 years. The stuff is the real deal. There is Deere place up the street from where I work so I am going to check them out during the week. Even if they don't have it an hour drive to South Windsor wouldn't be so bad to pick up a supply for the whole season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allsnow Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 LOL, can you imagine Blizz throwing a big summer party at his house? He'd be freaking out as soon as people started having a good time on the grass. I'd love to come down with a few truckloads of roughnecks. We'd park our 6000lb trucks on his lawn. There would be guys throwing cigarette butts into the grass and p*ssing in his mulch. Hell, a few chipmunks get him panicky to the point he drowns the poor things. Makes me think how out of touch with nature the homeowner must be to dump tons of fertilizer on the patch of land his kids play on. Pete hope all is well...but after a 24 hour period his lawn is no more dangerous the urs in god country to small children....like putting anitfreeze in ur car....going to wash ur hands after before u play with ur kids....no more dangerous is lesco...then what hazards are under ur kitchen sink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amarshall Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Can you apply crabgrass pre-emergent on wet grass? Thinking I might go put it down today. Looked on the label and it didnt say yes or no to wet lawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked on the label and it didnt say yes or no to wet lawn. Yes it can be wet..but it also needs to be watered into the soil..so if snows/rains tomorrow night of any significance you should be good. Looks dry overall thru day 10 so if you don't get some water tomorrow night it might be awhile as the drought worsens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually time it for tax filing time (I always owe so I wait until 4/15) but with the forsythia blazing in yellow here I figured I should get out there. Glad I did as I had about .75" this week so it should be worked in. I can't believe how deep green my lawn is on 3/31. Combination of the weather and switching to Lesco for the last two applications last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most def by next weekend..which will be earliest mow on record by far I'm a bit upset with you. On March 31st, despite no signs of leafage, I set up my time lapse cameras to capture the rapid leaf by April 1st. You had repeatedly promised that there would be "full leaf out by April 1st". Imagine my disappointment when, on the 1st, there was still no sign of life. Now here we are approaching April 4th and still no leaf out. I'm beginning to think you have no idea what you are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I'm still extremely pleased with the organic offering from Lowes. 7-2-2, I used about 30% of the recommended setting 3 or so weeks ago.

ski MRG Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Pics? I'll take some pics from right here in GC tomorrow. Here is one I took today down near Monument Mountain near Gt.Barrington. We've been blasting for a new foundation and pool for house we're doing down there. As you can see even well south of here NADA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Is that from today?!!!! Holy Sh*t. It looks like summer down there. Freaky. Pete yep. And keep in mind I'm right off the water so we take a whooping from the salt. It's usually pretty green by now but this is the first time I've mowed this early where I was lugging away heavy bags of clippings. I'm a firm believer of greening up early, get it thick as possible and then there's no need to lay down the testicle shriveling stuff Kev and co put down. I'd rather spot spray than napalm my neighbors. I actually just take 20 minutes 1 or 2 times a week and hand weed...lacrosse with the kids, weed for a few minutes, move to another part of the yard, lacrosse, weed, repeat. I used another brand last time but am going to try this next time. I really, really like the slow natural release versus the fake stuff. http://www.lowes.com/pd_97821-1321-498069_0__?productId=3069739&Ntt=organic+lawn&pl=1¤tURL=%2Fpl__0__s%3FNtt%3Dorganic%2Blawn&facetInfo= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with the earliest Spring I can remember the grass up here is matted and dormant for the most part. Because of this there has been an unfair advantage when golfing. If you hit into the rough it's so flattened there is almost no penalty.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lawn is not aggressively growing aside of the warm days, but like I said it's enough that in the 2 or so weeks it definitely had to be mowed today.

ELCwx Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Got my first cut in. Still amazed at how thick and green it is this early. Still have some dandelions. Things drive me crazy. I kill each one individually every year before they seed but still get at least 20 of them every spring. And I'm the only person on the street who gets them. Ugh.
