This year I’ll be finishing off the Sta Green 20.5-0-0 AS.
And I’ve got Feature on the way.

The Air-8 and RGS that I use have bio stimulants.

If I had to choose between an entry level gas reel and my wife, I’d rather stay married

I love the earthwise for $115

Got an e-mail address? I may be interested in selling one of my reel mowers.

I switched to the Walmart brand fertilizer this year. So far it seems to be working well and looks high quality. Still have a few light spots from adding sand. Trying to level now for a few years and am getting closer.

That’s a nice stand of turf. How low?

Can someone speak to what kind of Bermuda this is?

I’ve never seen such a fine leaf.
Remnants of this stuff are all over the neighborhood. Most have let weeds, centipede, st Aug mix in. A few haven’t.
It almost always looks shitty too, even when it’s by itself.

But it looks like this homeowner may fertilize. What’s craziest is that they have a good bit of shade where this Bermuda is. Of course, like most other Bermuda lawns here, it’s about 4” tall

Is it 419? My guess is that this grass is 50-60 years old based on the age of the neighborhood.

Grass looks great! Thanks for the info!

Is it more shade tolerant than St. Augustine? I need something that does well will more shade.

No sir. St Aug can be ok with 4 hours of sunlight and TifTuf will still need at least 5 minimum from what I've read.

I've planted a small strip in the back yard with less sun and it is thriving, but I need to do an audit to see just how much sun it's getting.

Interesting. I don't think I would have guessed that.

Do I need to hold off on PGR and FEature?
Today is Day 26.
I'm getting a few tiny seed heads ever 36-48 hours.
Oh, and what about Sedgehammer too? Hold off?

I'd wait another couple weeks before you apply the pgr. FEature and sedgehammer are ok though.

I burned my yard and it came in quickly. I did a 3 oz rate of specticle in the spring, half rate of 33-3-6 after the burn, full rate two weeks ago, will do a half rate today ahead of 8,000lbs of sand Friday. After the bermuda pokes through iron/primomaxx combo.
