dendrite Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 I have some fungal? issue going on with the cold season grass. The top 2-3” ends of the grass blades have turned a bright yellow while the bottom halves are deep green. This has happened over the last 2 weeks with little rain and low dews. It doesn’t look like red thread based on the examples I’ve seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 okay. Thinking maybe it’s rust since my path to the chickens is still green (probably rubs off). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backedgeapproaching Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 2 hours ago, dendrite said: Could be rust. I am seeing it in my lawn, but only the more shady section where the dew remains longer. Most of my lawn is sunny and will be prob be toast by the weekend if it doesnt rain this week. That has never happened in the 10 years I've been in VT, not even close really.

Without having the soil correct first ( PH, CEC, N, P, K, Calcium and Organic matter) you are simply wasting $$. This Fall Early Sept core aerate now when I say aerate I mean tear the crap out of it. 3 or 4 directions. Apply a good 3 way Turf Type Tall Fescue 250 lbs. per acre. At that time we will amend the soil for whatever it is lacking. Yes in my years I have turned areas from complete trash to a nice stand of TF from Fall to following Spring and kept the Crab and weeds out. Shipping to CT from this site is more expensive than the bags itself. Also, local distributors that have LP only sell to landscape pros. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, question for you Brian. The chestnut trees we purchased several years ago are doing great. Weirdly one has kept all the brown leaves on the branches and the others are bare. This happened last year too. Last season I made sure to shake off the leaves before the first wet snow. Strange? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of nut trees seem to have brown leaves hold on for weeks and months like oak and beech. I’m not sure what the normal tendency for american chestnuts is although I seem to recall them doing this in previous years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is a solid cover where the rain goes in over a lip from surface tension. It works well, I’ve never had a clog. This one isn’t mine but it looks pretty much like this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one isn’t mine but it looks pretty much like this. Does surface tension suffice in a real downpour? I would think that the heavier the rate, the greater chance of the flow overcoming it. (Merely an observation, as our 12 feet of no-end-caps gutter that protects the porch stairs hasn't caught many (any?) leaves.) My brown leaves are still hanging on as well. A lot of nut trees seem to have brown leaves hold on for weeks and months like oak and beech. I’m not sure what the normal tendency for American chestnuts is although I seem to recall them doing this in previous years. Even the understory oaks and beech have lost their leaves. usually some of those saplings hold brown/tan leaves all winter. Another November downpour - 3rd day with 0.04", month total up to 0.14" from 4 "events". Wildfire in NNJ (West Milford) has invaded NY, up to 3,000+ acres.

The only issue I have had was when 2 of the brackets inside the gutter somehow came out (or were left in the gutter loose by the installers) and blocked the downspout. I've never noticed water overflowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a plastic covering with holes to let the rain in but also a thin screen that keeps everything but water out. They look like this.
