CoastalWx Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 This time last year, grass was greening up. Now, patches of snow and a yellow wasteland. I almost want to go and break up the snow. It's just taking it's sweet time where it's shaded. It's annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Valley Snowman Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 This time last year, grass was greening up. Now, patches of snow and a yellow wasteland. I almost want to go and break up the snow. It's just taking it's sweet time where it's shaded. It's annoying. I was down to mainly corners and small strips by March 29th,and it's definitely started to look a little greener here over the last couple of days with the additional rainfall.

Whineminster Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I've got a bunch of snow mold on the nicer patches of my lawn....I didn't know what it was until I looked it up, and it looks nasty. http://www.ipm.iastate.edu/ipm/hortnews/2010/3-31/snowmold.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just rake it up a bit to get some airflow down there and it will be fine once air temps and ground temps warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whineminster Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Summerthyme has a point though....we have dead zones in the GOM and LIS due to eutrophication due to nutrient overload that we didn't have 20 or 30 years ago....yet wastewater treatment has gotten exponentially better....so what's that leave as the cause? Must likely Pollution from runoff. The EPA is coming down hard on stormwater runoff and soon we'll all likely have to pay a "stormwater utility" bill as many other parts of the country do already to fund improvements. I'm certainly not a huge fanboy of the EPA, and I'm not saying don't put down fertilizer, but it's important you use the right amount at the right time, which judging by the comments in here it seems like most already do that.

Damage In Tolland Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Too early for dimension? Everything is so late this year that you can put it down now. We are 3-4 weeks behind ,,but with a week of sun and 60's miracles will happen out there to the lawns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S&P Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 for scott (posted earlier) these guys have you use dimension for 1st and second feeding, slightly more expensive that way, but at least your sure you don't miss the window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Thanks man. I still haven't even put down lime yet and I have some stragglers still yet to melt. LOL. I had a schedule last year, but who knows where that is. I'll use that and grab another one at the John Deere near me. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can lime and Dimension same day..but you don't need to lime this year if you did it last year. You don't have that much shade or trees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
