I run ethanol free in everything now including the riding mower. I run the leaf blower and string trimmer out of fuel and haven't had any significant issues. The rider I leave whatever is in it at the end of the season. I try to make sure there is nothing in any of the cans except for what I need fo...

Wow, nice list and generous offer! Bernstein is my favorite finance author, but no one here can go wrong with any of those.

Bernstein is my guy too! I'm a read once and done guy.

Here they are pick one or all if interested and PM a name and address and I'll get them sent out this week.



The Investors Manifesto is an easy read and my personal favorite.

Another cool season grass win!! Nice Thor

Related: If I do some sort of Roundup method, do you pull the patches after they are killed off, or do you just let them die a slow death and then fade into the soil, hopefully being overcome by future overseeding/natural grass spreading? You don’t have to pull. It will be a slow, full, effective k...

I think you can even hit every other blade using RU. I’ve double nitrile gloved and then just quickly went through touching a few leaf tips here and there. Did it pull up easily?

Looking good

That doesn’t look like nutsedge to me. Almost looks like some type of k31. I would use a touch of roundup on each blade.

Growth has slowed to a crawl. Burning bushes are looking nice though. Wonder why they don’t all go at the same time?

Looks good pennstater2005. Color is great. Do you get lots of leaves in fall?

Thanks. I get a fair amount. Mostly on the lower side of the yard where I haven't renovated. I was too lazy this year to bring leaves to the upper side so I just mulched em in where they lay.

Just finished mowing. I think my mower got into that powder

Is it improving at all?

Quick picture from last nights mow. Some clippings but not much. I was thinking of one more urea app but it’s obviously trying to go sleepy so I’ll leave it be.

I generally lower a bit but only because I cut around 3.5” most of the year. I believe I’m at 2.5” now and that’s where it’ll stay. As others have said to help prevent snow mold and matting of grass.

@Tadow781 I would just hand pull that. Round up otherwise.

It’s hard to tell from the pics. They almost look like something earthworms would create.
