My 1st Soil Test, 2nd summer in new house
Comments (1)Wow, my test was pretty bad, but yours is really bad. Don't add any lime yet, even though you need it, there are two types and you might need a combination of both. Also you have a lot of deficiencies, and 0 copper isn't helping anyone. You need good advice. I want you to repost your soil test in the soil management and compost forum at this site: www dot bestlawn dot info (obviously use periods for the dots, and no spaces). Andy is the soil guru over there and he will help you fix your soil....See Morenew house, 1st fertilization of bermuda????

Comments (10)I haven't scalped the lawn, just got it shorter in preparation for the aeration. The reason why I'm aerating is because it hasn't been done in a while judging by the soil - the thatch alone after a quick rake was enough to build another lawn from the dead material! The question is more directed towards seeding - Temps have been steadily dropping in the evening and I want to make sure I have the right plan (both financially and logically) before the frost comes. Since seeding after core aeration is a standard practice, I was wondering the best course of action while in a water ban....See MoreLifting Tahoe Cabin - Adding New 1st Floor
Comments (4)Just want to wish you the best of luck finding a good contractor and handyman. I've known of people importing their constructions crew from Sacramento and paying for lodging for length of the build due to frustration with poor work ethic Tahoe contractors. 25 year South Tahoe resident here. Been through several major renovations on original house and added several new rooms and a 2nd story to same house. All night mare experiences. I have yet to find a half way decent contractor and forget about a dependable handyman. I've been on the look out all these years...not been successful yet. We had to build up since our coverage had exceeded the 30% coverage allowance. Not able to pay the heavy fines in order to exceed coverage and also not able to buy other empty parcels to then give to the conservancy to stick into their "not-buildable" stock pile, up we went instead of out. We still had fines to pay but we settled on an agreeable amount in exchange for removing our deck to make our 30% coverage numbers crunch better. If the laws are still the same with TRPA, if there is a will and a well funded bank account, there is a way you could add onto to your cabin by building out, instead of up, but it will likely cost you. Sounds like building out is more feasible vs up. If you find a good contractor or handyman, please send me the name and #. : )...See Morechloenkitty
