re: Late winter pre-emergent application: - CrawDude on 1/27/21 at 9:56 pm [quote]With that weed free zone and atrizine mixture, is substituting Dawn the same as the weed sticker? I think I remember hearing something about that, or am I thinking of something else?

re: Late winter pre-emergent application: - CrawDude on 1/27/21 at 12:10 pm [quote]1. When are you other South Alabama guys putting down this round of pre-emerge? Should I go ahead and do it now since it’s already on-hand and temps hitting 70+? Or wait another week and apply in Feb?

Both are good, you may find Prodiamine cheaper, particularly if you use the spray version vs granular. If by chance you have/had a significant crabgrass problem Dimension ... Posted on Home & Garden Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (0) |
re: Late winter pre-emergent application: - CrawDude on 1/26/21 at 9:28 am Just to add to the good information already provided in this thread, I contacted Dr. Ron Strahan, weed control extension specialist, LSU AgCenter, this morning and he recommends applying lawn pre-emergents for the Baton Rouge area in the first week of February. And of course with pre-emergents it’s ... Posted on Home & Garden Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (2) |
re: Questions about stocking a pond - CrawDude on 1/25/21 at 12:20 pm [quote]1st, read the link that LSUenvy posted. 2nd, a pond that old will usually have undesirable species of fish and the fish species ratios will be out of whack. Evaluate and if needed remove undesirable species by draining and/or poisoning. 3rd, obtain soil/mud samples and lime/ fertilize as re...

re: HVAC questions - CrawDude on 1/19/21 at 4:43 pm That appears to be good pricing for the size unit you are having installed. American Standard=Trane, Ameristar is also a product of Ingersoll Rand the company that owns American Standard/Trane, but I also see where Ameristar heat pumps are made in China. Personally, I’d avoid Ameristar heat pumps f... Posted on Home & Garden Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (2) |
re: Tree felling cost - CrawDude on 1/15/21 at 9:24 am I’m not far from Prairieville, and 3 years ago I had 2 River Birch removed, next to the house, and a Bradford Pear by Mr. D’s Tree Service - all 3 in the 30 ft or so range, but all easily front yard accessible.

re: Anyone plant rye this year? - CrawDude on 1/14/21 at 7:12 pm I like the rye look as well and a few neighbors do it, but I can’t reconcile planting rye when using fall pre-emergents. How do you all handle this? ... Posted on Home & Garden Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (1) |
re: When and where to pick up some Centipede sod in Baton Rouge? - CrawDude on 1/14/21 at 7:06 pm I usually buy it at Woerner Turf on Airline Hwy. A pallet is 450 sq ft, so you’ll need a pallet. I bought a pallet of centipede in Nov and it was $175. Quality Sod is another option within a mile of Woener. Much more expensive if you buy individual pieces. If fact it I only needed a 1/2 pallet, but... Posted on Home & Garden Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (1) |

re: Centipede spot spray now? - CrawDude on 1/9/21 at 10:31 am It’s is always good to control weeds whenever you see them. The younger they are the easier to control. This winter weed cocktail has worked well for me. When spot spraying I usually mix the specified amount ounces in 1 gal of water. If by chance you have annual bluegrass (Poa annua) among the w...

re: Soil Test question - CrawDude on 1/9/21 at 10:07 am You’ll just need the “routine soil test” by the LSU AgCenter - $11 per sample + postage if mailed in. Don’t be confused by the optional packages of analyzes - those are usually used for speciality crops by or researchers. Now is a good time of the year to do this. It will not include nitrogen (N)...

re: Cheapest way to fill raised beds? - CrawDude on 1/1/21 at 10:06 am A 4 x 8 x 1 ft deep is roughly 1 cubic yard (27 cubic feet).

Yep, back in August a poster on the TD Outdoor Board posted a PSA that Sam’s Club had them on sale for $299, regular $599, for on-line purchases only.
