tombo82685 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 ok thanks. do you think the spray stuff they sell at home depot will kill that? Like bob said you should be fine. Broadleaf plantain isn't that hard to get rid of. Clover is hard to get rid of with over the counter stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJonesWX Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Any broadleaf herbicide should work on it. You can go with the selective kind that won't kill the surrounding grass or you can you a broad spectrum herbicide which will kill everything it touches. Like bob said you should be fine. Broadleaf plantain isn't that hard to get rid of. Clover is hard to get rid of with over the counter stuff. thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 after the past 45 days I'll never use anything but Jonathan Greene fertilizers and seed. I've never seen such a high percentage of germination and speed as I have with the black beauty seed. The fertilizer products have provided a lasting but reasonably rapid green and growth cycle as well. Bob turned me on to this stuff, will not touch lesco or scotts again. The Magi-cal is top shelf too, got the PH where it needed to be very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magi-cal is top shelf too, got the PH where it needed to be very quickly. Welcome back. It all started with the Mag-i-cal. That stuff is the ****. So this year I decided to try their fertilizer line and I've been thrilled. And now this Fall I used their seeds and as you can see the results have been spectacular. My lawn is just about done growing for the season so I will probably put down the winterizer and mag-i-cal in a week or so. I'll still use the Alfalfa as well since you can apply that anytime without fear of lawn burnout plus it adds organic matter to the soil. One other thing I do is mulch mow. I have very little thatch in my lawn since I have all the proper organisms in the soil to feed on it. It's taken a couple years but the lawn is the best it's looked in a long time.

moneypitmike Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 I'm revisiting my earlier discussion, so apologies if it sounds rehashed. The pool's finally been finished this week, so now I've got a ton of seeding to do. I had intended to go with the earlier thoughts about putting the seed down now. But, given the apparent cold coming in beginning this week (I assume we'll get so hard freeze in it), does it now make sense to do a punt until spring? I really don't want to waste time and money.

Yea seeding right now is done for you. Sod is your best alternative if you want it done now. If you do it in spring you will most likely battle crabgrass and foxtail issues. You could try this..find a store that sells tuperspan and apply that after you seed for crabgrass issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks--I'll just wait until spring and take my chances with seed in the spring. It's going to be one helluva mud season with no grass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily the best, it's just easy to put down. I use Mag-i-Cal by Jonathan Green. I've had good results with it the past 2 seasons I moved to it.

moneypitmike Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Happy Met spring, everyone. Sugar houses are open today. Make use of the dry cold and start turning up the mowers and the saws. Buy up on your fresh Lesco. The temp's not going to take away the snow, but the sun's rapid strengthening and sublimation will try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarloaf1989 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I have about 1' of exposed grass on the south facing part of my driveway where the sun has melted away the snowcover. Looking forward to seeing more lawn as the icy and dirty snowcover melts away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 So now that more of my lawn is becoming exposed, the winter burn is being displayed where I snowblowed from my shed to my driveway. A nice brown stripe. Hopefully that goes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Shouldn't this thread be closed and the 5th annual lawn thread be started? It should. I think Kevin's had the time-honored position of starting the lawn thread, but he seems delinquent this year. Perhaps someone else should take the reigns. I nominate Scooter who has become one of the biggest lawn weenies on the board in his short time in his new digs. Meanwhile, after this storms underpermance (wrt wintery precip here in GC), I'm going to spend more time here and the banter thread. 11.1/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
