I didn’t think about sodding partially and harvesting my own sprigs. Sounds interesting I will check it out. Thanks!

Just checked and BR will be receiving ran between tomorrow through Saturday with low 80s as the high and high 70s as the low.

Gotcha!
Others have sodded a portion of their property, verticut the following year, and used the sprigs from the verticut to sprig another section.
quote:I’ve read many sprigging journals from your neck of the woods. Many will buy about 1/3 of the sod they need, tear it up, and sprig with that.
Would love to try sprigging but couldn’t find anywhere to buy sprigs in South Carolina.

quote:So is it pennywort or dichondra?
I have dollarweed (or at least its cousin) in big patches on my yard. Best remedy? I have Clegg's cocktail ingredients.
Dollarweed (pennywort) usually indicates an area that stays too wet.
After you treat it, you may want to level.
Do you have St. Aug? Are you mowing high enough?
I would try Atrazine (Clegg's Cocktail) with the cooler temps, and then hit it again in 3-4 weeks with MSM Turf.
Make sure not to mow before or after application for at least 2 days.

quote:Generall yes, but you may be able to get away with it if you spray early morning or late evening with this upcoming cool front. I'm seeing lows in the upper 50s/low 60s later this weekend.
Is it too hot for Clegg's cocktail?

quote:Got it at our old house and kind of regretted it. It makes it hard for anyone to do work on your house, especially, electricians. It's really not the best idea for older homes, though I can see it having a place in new construction.
Does anyone here have knowledge/experience using the spray foam? What are your thoughts?
Go with the tried and true. Nothing wrong with blown in.

quote:What does dormancy mean in this situation?
so they recommended a 15-0-15 fertilizer when coming out of dormancy
I would use something like this pictured below. Soil test be damned.
I would also apply RGS to the soil before you seed.
I've done these things for my sod and it is super strong early on.
Why seed over sod or sprigging?

Grass looks great! Thanks for the info!
quote: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.
Is it more shade tolerant than St. Augustine?
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.

To not believe in miracles is to believe in total scientific reductionism.
I find that stance less likely.

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

If you have sedges, try the sledgehammer packets. I’ve never seen them so cheap on Amazon as they are right now. I grabbed a pack of two for $24 today.

That’s a nice stand of turf. How low?

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 :lol:
I love the earthwise for $115
