you won't get flowers but dwarf yaupon holly is evergreen, resilient, and low maintenance. ...
noted, all good points. Guess I'll just let the Common roll and re-evaluate after a year or 2...
[quote]Do you have any bermuda currently on your lawn. I wouldn't recommend mixing strains of bermuda on your lawn.[/quote] Unfortunately yes, I have common Bermuda in this area. For the past 4 years I’ve done everything I can to keep the Bermuda out, but now I’m switching gears to just let it ru...
piggybacking on this for thoughts. I have st aug front yard and I'm sick of dealing with it. Large patch, drought stress, etc and I wanna covert to bermuda. About 1500 sq ft. Thinking of buying 150 celebration bermuda plugs and planting in the spring. Other than cutting low and hitting with high N f...

re: Heat exhuastion?

Posted by Sir Saint on 9/23/24 at 10:58 am
hard to say without an actual medical exam/labs, but can't rule out the possibility that you have a case of rhabdomyolysis. This is basically breakdown of muscle tissue during periods of high exertion which can be exacerbated by heat and dehydration. Keep drinking a shite ton of water and consider ER...
[quote]- My St. Aug was going to seed (never seen that before).[/quote] My St. Aug has shot up seed heads every year since I moved into the house in 2020. I did some research a while back and never really found any conclusive reason for this. I did a soil test and amended soil based on results bu...
didn't know this product existed. Label looks good, will give this a try for my fall pre-emergent (I also usually use prodiamine). Thanks for sharing :cheers:...
[quote]maybe do reno prior to moving in[/quote] Couple points on this. First, expect to pay 2x whatever you think it should cost. Second, expect it to take 2x longer than you think it should take. Third, doing a kitchen reno while you live in the house is a giant pain in the arse. ...

re: Thoughts on INTC at this level?

dying company with corporate rot that has set in from years of being the incumbent leader. I would expect them continue to underperform and eventually be left behind due to lack of innovation. This opinion is based solely on gut feeling and I have done absolutely no DD on intel whatsoever, FWIW...
replying to this for follow up on a recent thread. I have a Bosch 800 (model number B36CT80SNS) that stopped making ice. You replied that "water frozen behind the crisper drawer" is a common culprit. Could you help with which crisper drawer (I'm assuming the left side drawer which is in the fridge b...
this was kinda my thought process as well. My only question is with the attic being 120 degrees or whatever obnoxiously hot temp it is up there, is that impacting the temp of the patio at all. I'm with you though, the answer is probably not much if any. ...
patio obviously hot AF during south LA summer. The patio is under roof with non-insulated attic space above. Anyone done this before? Was wondering if adding blown in cellulose insulation to the attic above would have any impact on temps/comfort during the heat of summer?...

re: Outdoor mini fridge

Posted by Sir Saint on 8/17/24 at 3:44 pm
In my experience, cheap mini fridges don’t cool for shite when they’re crammed into an outdoor kitchen in 95 degree summer. Nothing worse than cracking open a beer and the first sip is 50 degree temp. On top of that, they don’t last. I am redoing my patio and just bought this model from Costco [l...
piggybacking on this thread, hoping fridge experts can chime in. I have a 4 year old bosch 800 series fridge/freezer that stopped making ice about a year ago. I'm pretty sure it stopped making ice around the same time that I replaced the water filter. I tried resetting with the button, flipping ...

I for one welcome my brown patch overlords. That shite obliterated my beautiful st sug turf in 2022 and I fully expect brown mush lawn come October if this rain keeps up. I do apply disease ex (alternating every other year with propiconazole) monthly from August to October but I’ve had approximately ...
I mean we kinda had one in 2020. It was something like a 30% drop in 1 month. I panic sold every position in my Roth. I ended up buying a bunch of XOM a few months later around $40 cost basis which saved my arse, still holding those today. ...
