Can't replace rain. Coverage and water quality suck with irrigation systems. They only help.

Big Chem isn't a prob. The problem is ppl that use too much of it.

I knew it. There's slobber, yet again telling people to go use a product that kills bees. What a monster. "Residual kill of bees would be limited to zero". What a bunch of hullabaloo. That sounds a lot like Big Tobacco talking about second-hand smoke to me.

he wants you to kill them. he's had his eye on selling you pollination services since the beginning.

Bees pollinate 70% of the crops grown to feed the world and over 25% of every bite of food we eat. A worker bee produces about one half of a teaspoon of honey in her life, but all of the honey bees in the U.S. Pollinate about $15 BILLION worth of crops!
Why would I want to kill them?! They impact not only my livelihood, but my life!

Slobber probably has 1000 garages full of robot pollinators that he could use to make billions with if he could just get rid of those damned bees.

I checked our mosquito/insect trap in the yard last night. Holy crap...there had to be a million mosquitoes in that SOB.

While we're on the topic, I will now have to mow the yard in full bee suit from now on. We keep 3 hives, and I'm apparently pretty allergic, and was just prescribed a couple shiny new Epi-Pens.

We need the bees, but damn they are bastards some times!

dobber (or other lawn studs):

now that it's like a thousand degrees every day how often should I be mowing and how high? the old guy at my office who seems to know a lot about yards told me he isn't mowing as often because it's not good for the lawn this time of year. is this accurate?

steve dave · « **Reply #574 on:** July 27, 2015, 09:36:30 AM »

like, right now I'm mowing like 3.5" about every 5 or 6 days. Obviously I'd prefer to mow less often to never again but I want it to look nice.
