After 3 months of snow cover, my yard is finally snow free. A day in the low 60s followed by a day in the 50s saw to that. My fist mow last year was March 25. That was early here. I expect I am still 4 weeks away this year. Late April is more typical.
The Award looks to have handled the winter great.. still reasonably green in fact with stripes from last mow still visible.
I was going to follow your lead in doing an Award mono, but stock was depleted and whatevers left, everyone wanted 3 kidneys for it. So I went with a Prosperity mono.

I'm not sure winter is ever "nice" but I did survive. I hope you survived too…. Can't wait for the season to start….. looking forward to seeing how everyone's Reno's last year come out of winter!
Since the grass is young I will do a Urea App when it starts growing. I would not normally do this. I will be doing Pre-M and manually removing anything that shouldn't be there..
In mid/late May (weather dependent) I will probably do a rough sand level.
After that it will be my normal routine until fall... 1 lb N of a slow release in mid/late May (timed with the sand) and then light foliar urea + iron + PRG until mid/late August.

Another sandman.... welcome the to chore... :bandit: :bd:
BTW, as will be much better for your early spring app...the color response and controlled growth are unmatched by Urea

Thanks... I am going to give him a call. I have a local Urea spot and have enough already for this year and next (this place is $21 for 50 lbs or at least it was at the end of last year). I still need to get my slow release for this year.
Yes agreed. The HH stuff I used only for my front 8,000 for one application. Even then it is only just over 1/2 lb N. Not great value, but for one app it is alright. The rest of the time I am using a 25-5-10 or a 30-0-8.. Then straight urea starting late August...
I am declaring today the start of my season. Used my Ego rotary sweeper to fluff up the grass and remove debris and then went for a charity mow. Finished last season at 3/4" so dropped to 5/8" to take off about 1/4". Got two baskets. I'm way behind last year on green up due to much colder weather and I assume also due to the turf being young.
Hopefully things will start cooking in the next couple of weeks.
Looks very promissing. You are right about all you stated. My 1st full season with the new grass started slow. I can see also snowmold, that will take time to recover. If you want to rock as early as now, a winter fungicide is your only option. It worked miracles for me last year.

@Stuofsci02 have you applied your PreM yet? I wanted to do that today but I found the ground was still kind of soggy. Plus I need to do some raking of debris and leaves first.
