re: Torpedo Grass - Any hope, or should I concrete the lawn?

[quote]... You'll ALWAYS have to spray to control it creeping in if it's in your neighbors yard.[/quote]
Yea, and the neighbor's lawn is the gift that keeps giving, Torpedo-wise. Always fills the yard with spillway dirt, which seems to be the birthplace of Torpedo in the NOLA area. Sounds like I'...

[quote]I’m not the original poster but now I’m interested in Marco Island. What’s the best way to get to Marco Island? Fly into Ft Myers and rent a car? Are there alternatives to renting a car?[/quote]
Fort Myers has a good, smaller airport, modern, with a nice rental car selection. As I recall i...

Torpedo Grass - Any hope, or should I concrete the lawn?
Posted by Old Skule on 2/26/24 at 9:10 pm
Someone recommended Otho Grass Killer, and it did just that - killed the good grass, left the Torpedo standing. A few years back I used a product called Poast with pretty good results, but I can't find it anywhere.
Any suggestions?

I have it on good authority that the Domino's jet was intercepted on approach by a Rasing Canes F15 fighter and was forced to turn back from Louisiana airspace. It was detcted by a PJ's Coffee AWACS plane circling BR...

Posted by Old Skule on 1/23/10 at 6:40 pm
Lots of great trips down memory lane here... I too, remember the 1812 cannon explosion, but also remember the Ben Hur chariot races when one of the chariots lost control and crashed. My favorite part of old Tulane stadium was the steel upper deck - when the Saints were actually "in" a game and a bi...

Kelly to ND if Nebraska had won?
Posted by Old Skule on 12/11/09 at 10:33 am
If the Texas field goal sailed wide it would be Alabama vs. Cincinnati for the BCS National Championship. Does Kelly pass at a chance (maybe once in a lifetime) to coach his team in the NC and pass on the ND offer (maybe once in a lifetime?)...
