re: Put weed and feed down last night - Sir Saint
[quote]After all this rain, any chance it wasnt all washed away?[/quote] No. You're good. Like Ronk (or Craw, can't remember) always says - sprinkle some on concrete and try to spray it off with a water hose. Once you see how hard it is to accomplish this, you'll be less worried about your fert w...

re: How much should I expect to pay for good outdoor landscape lighting fixtures? - Sir Saint
I DIY’ed it. It is a piece of cake honestly. I don’t know shite about electrical anything and did this in about 6-8 hours of casual, beer drinking-pace work. A neighborhood teenager or any local handyman can do this at whatever hourly rate they charge if you’re dead set on outsourcing. It’s as ea...

Thought this thread might be useful to others with similar situation. Ones I've had success with in prior years - salvia (already coming back strong), vinca, ...

I was always told not to dethatch st. Aug unless you’re certain that thatch buildup is causing some specific problem. Here’s an excerpt from Clemson on dethatch for st Aug: [quote]Thatch Removal: If a thatch layer becomes a problem, use a dethatcher or vertical mower to remove it. For St. August...

re: Large Brown Patch, or mole crickets - Sir Saint
yes this looks like large patch scars which will fill in during spring, fertilizing will help speed up this process. I have never heard of that fungicide you used, brief google search suggests it's not super effective for large/brown patch. The typical fungicides recommended for brown patch are ...

re: Question about Clegg's winter weed cocktail - Sir Saint
Atrazine is a pre-emergent if/when it makes its way into the soil. If applied as a pre-emergent, it should be watered in to get into to the soil. Surfactant in the cocktail in theory makes the atrazine stick to the grass blades, ie not in the soil. Plus I assume you didn't water in the cocktail sinc...

They sell dirt, yes, but I don’t believe they do anything else other than dropping it out of a dumptruck. Check out Lafayette Materials for dirt work, they don’t sell sod though. ...

[quote]I feel uneasy about hiring a company without giving any direction since I lack knowledge and creativity on this.

re: What 529s are you using? - Sir Saint
For all the things Louisiana ranks 49 nationwide (edging ahead of Mississippi at 50), 529 plan is not one of them. Believe it or not, Louisiana's 529 (Start savings program) is one of the best in the country, especially for LA residents. ETA: sorry, missed the fact that you're in TX. Still, LA's...
