Day 12: Started to notice this (see picture) in the yard this morning. I am a novice, so I'm not sure if this is grass in leaf stage 3 or if it is a weed (nutsedge?). Any thoughts? Also, they are calling for temps in the mid to upper 80's for the next three days. Should I be concerned about fungus ...

Thanks. Unfortunately I did not apply tenacity at seed down. Just regular starter fertilizer. I kept up on the weeds prior to putting down topsoil and seed, and with the cooler temps I am not ultra concerned with weeds. I may be wrong about that, we will have to wait and see. I plan on doing Tenaci...

@Ohio Lawn That's going to look great. How much tenacity did you apply at seed down? Hopefully you get can a couple cuts done before the October Tenacity application. If the soil temps are down you might not even need to do the second Tenacity application, just wait till fall and you Prodiamine. "A...

tgreen My guess is that fungus free seedlings are going to better establish before winter because they can focus their energy on growing and not fighting fungus. I dealt with this last year. I was being hard headed and didn't want to believe I had a fungus issue because it didn't feel warm enough o...

@ddrriizz You may have grub problem. Get rid of his food source and let him go be someone else's problem.

tgreen The Propiconazole label goes into the establishment of cool season turf turfgrass. "Propiconazole will improve the establishment rate when it is applied to cool-season grass seedlings. New Seedling: apply 1 fl oz per 1,000 sq ft at the 2 to 3 leaf stage of growth for faster root development ...

@JRS 9572 uhh... yes please. Order has been placed for the Collegiant Royal AKA Bulldog Blue. They added another 30% off with code SPORTS30. Ended up being $29 after tax. Thank you!

I apologize for the converational hiatus. My late summer lawn strategy has been to do nothing so I don't have much to share other than a few observations. 1.) I've got nutsedge that needs dealing with but I don't want to stress the fescue until the temps come down. Other than that the weed pressure ...

@Bermuda_Rooster That's no lie. I've accepted the fact that if I'm to stick with non-irrigated TTTF then my yard is going to look terrible three month out of year.

If I had full sun I would differently go with a warm season grass, you'd be crazy not to. Thank you for the kind words.

@Naidu Unfortunately I haven't had any luck. I should have checked the solubility before it was "go time" in July.

Just a lil' bit hotter than 10-10-10.

That thing could use a couple more 90 degree angle bends....

AM Leo raised the price on Humic DG... From $43.99 to $49.99

I've been wanting to try this but never have the patience when it's coffee time. I guess I just need to set up "camp" one morning in the lawn and give it a shot.

ktgrok since you already did the granular you may want to hold off on also spraying it this evening. Give it a couple weeks and see if your results were different from mine. If it didn't cure it, and it's not too hot, then you might want to try spraying the propiconazole on it's own. I don't want t...

ktgrok Do you need it to cure & prevent or just prevent? I ask because I've had mixed success with propiconazole as a curative. When I mix it with azoxystrobin it doesn't seem to work as well as if I apply it on it's own. I'm under the assumption that propiconazole (as a curative) does better when ...

@lawndog 7E19P This is a hot coupon, you only need a $50 order to get free shipping. Good until July 29th.

@flynavy812 I may be wrong but I don't think you want to use 2, D-4 in this heat.

@corneliani We go hard on The Forum. In the words of Big Daddy Kane "Ain't No Half Steppin".
