We’re actually making the same trip this summer. One thing I was wondering. What is the appropriate tipping culture in both London/Paris? Also, not to hijack this thread, but if anyone has a recommendation for their favorite/historical pub in London we’d love to hear it. ...

re: Paris Day Trip to Loire Valley - Summer

Posted by Koonu on 2/21/24 at 11:23 pm
Thanks this is helpful and definitely gives us a lot to think about. Now I’m wondering if we should give up a day/night in Paris to get over that way. Curious if anyone has any opinions, as we’ve never been to Paris before. I know there’s a lot to do, but is 6 days in just Paris too much? That’s...

Paris Day Trip to Loire Valley - Summer

Posted by Koonu on 2/21/24 at 8:39 am
Heading to Paris with the family this Summer (all adults now). I’ve been diving through old threads on Paris and the surrounding areas. We’ve identified the Loire Valley as a day trip we definitely want to make. We’re looking to take the bullet train into town then go from there. Head back to Pa...
Super helpful as always guys, thank you !...
Thanks this is very helpful! After reading both, the symptoms largely resemble Take All Root Rot. especially the part about easy to remove stolons. I'll start with disease X to try and get it under control. some of the areas seem already beyond repair. what would be the best practice for re-sodd...

Weed ID & Removal Question

Posted by Koonu on 8/26/23 at 10:11 am
(https://imgur.com/a/kp4Fgph)]LINK[/link] H&G Board… looking for some wisdom. This particular weed is taking over my St Aug Lawn at a rapid pace this year. I’ve dealt with this for a while, but it seems to have really advanced this hot & dry summer. In the past my understanding was that this is n...

re: VBW & Celcius

Posted by Koonu on 10/1/21 at 1:51 pm
Thanks all of that is helpful advice. Since I’m going after it with the Celcius pretty good, will I have a window for pre-emergent this Fall? Or would I be applying to much stress on the grass in a small period of time?...

VBW & Celcius

Posted by Koonu on 10/1/21 at 11:00 am
St Aug lawn in the NOLA area. Have had trouble with VBW in the last but after the hurricane it seemed to spread like wildfire. Applied celcius for the first time 2 weeks ago after following the advice on this board for quite some time. It was mature VBW. 2 weeks later I have some yellowing and ...

[quote]If that’s not your speed, Marriott actually has several day trips with pick up/drop off from Florence. 2-3 wineries and schedules everything for you. But you are in a group of people so cheaper but not private. Rome by Limo is private[/quote] I should clarify we are trying to do this as ...

re: Florence/Tuscany area Vineyard Recs

We're just in Florence we're three nights, so thinking a day trip to the Tuscan wine country is all we'll be able to manage if we want to see the rest of the florence area...

Florence/Tuscany area Vineyard Recs

Going to try our hand at international travel this year with a trip to Italy early October. Looking at an itinerary of Rome - Florence - Venice. We've got a lot of the trip ironed out (thanks to the TD Travel Board), but one thing we are having trouble pinning down is the best way in which to do a d...

Thanks y’all - super helpful. Was eyeing down the generac mentioned above and was feeling like it was best in class outside of the Honda. Thinking I’ll go that route. I’m still too cheap for the Honda at this stage!...

Generator Advice

Posted by Koonu on 4/28/21 at 10:57 pm
After this past storm season and being without power on multiple extended occasions, I find myself looking to purchase a generator for my home. I am not looking for a whole home generator (young, not in our forever home), but rather something to maybe run a couple house hold items during an extended...

Large Patch - St Aug

Posted by Koonu on 12/11/20 at 8:30 am
looking for some guidance on what appears to be large/brown patch spreading through my front lawn. Some background: it’s a St Augustine lawn in NOLA. Neighbor is an open lot, they have stopped doing lot work in the last 3 months or so and the large patch started on their property and has since sprea...

Been trying to figure out how to best accomplish this. We have gutters on both sides of the home, and I got one of those extensions to push the water out to the side. Not sure it’s doing much for me... Also switched to highest mower setting recently after reading about that here. Was a recent c...

Thanks! I think unfortunately the pics present a better pic than what I saw yesterday. To answer question, Believe it or not...Coyotes. Every couple nights or so, they’ve left presents from time to time. Maybe that’s the cause?...
