Lawn Care

[CNS]

no, definitely a weed that looks like grass but grows tall and looks way out of place.

Nutsege, or something.  Grasspad has something called Sedge Hammer that takes care of it.  It will take over your lawn quickly if not handled.

Apparently, my neighbor doesn't read the gE lawn thread. He should post in the shame yourself thread.

When's the best time of the year to lay down some St Augustine sod?  Spring?

[Rage Against the McKee]

burning down heaters with the new yard crew

you could light up a whole pack of heaters at once with that thing.

You could light your fireworks next week without even bending over. You can keep your smokes in your mouth this year, guys. Dragon's got it.

I second the nutsedge.  You can pull it but it'll grow back.  Only way is to spray it.  I remember getting one from Home Depot that worked fine.

Get rid of the grubs.  Moles think they are delish.

I put GrubEx down last night.  I got this.

I have a crap ton of bagworms in the shrubbery in from of my house. How do I kill?

you can pick up spray for this like anywhere.  I think that Seven stuff works, but I may be misremembering.

The tall grass: roll the stem between your fingers to see if it feels triangular. If it is, then it is nutsedge and you will be successful in killing it. If it isn't nutsedge, sledge hammer will not kill it.

Grub-Ex: you won't kill the grubs for at least 30 days. That product is a preventative product meant to be used before the grubs/moles are doing damage. The fastest acting grub product is 24 Hour Grub Control, or something like that. It will do a good job on the current grubs, but it won't last past a few days, so the new grubs that hatch after that will not be killed.


Gonna win 'em all!

Bagworms: yes, Sevin is a great choice. Follow the label directions. Be careful if making overhead applications. If you have large trees, hire a professional.

My best friend and I used to have our own lawn mowing business when we were in junior high and high school.  We used to laugh about the lazy bastards who would pay us $20 to mow their little tiny lawns instead of just doing it themselves.

Now, I am one of those lazy bastards.  I don't own a mower of any kind, and have a pretty big yard.

Not ge'ing around, if you know someone that will mow a lawn for $20, have them PM me.

Here is what nutsedge looks like(at least the kind I had at my old house) *googleimage, not mine.


If it doesn't look like this, take some to the nearest lawn care store and let them see it.

Alright thanks.

No large trees near by dobber

That is the worst nutsedge infestation I've ever seen.

Dude that was like 20 years ago.  I pay a guy $35 right now and consider it a steal.

Would jump at that too.  We have a guy that does ours for $55 as needed, when we get too busy.  I don't mind that, but it is high enough for me to keep doing it myself most the time.

That is it.   Will a spray kill the grass

[slobber]

Not if you use the stuff that kills nutsedge only. Nutsedge is not a grass, it is a sedge. I think the stuff you want to buy us called sedge hammer. Or something like that. Read and follow the label. I think the active ingredient is halosulfuron ( didn't look it up, so not sure). You got this, just don't let the sedge get out of hand or too mature.

Dobber is good at lawns

[IPA4Me]

@slobber  Is it a good time for another round of weed killer before they all go dormant?

[Spracne]

Dobber, ever considered starting a weekend AM radio show?
