How short to cut?

If you have nice grass and are just overseeding to keep it strong, I wouldn't go below about an inch and half. If you need the new grass to basically replace a weak lawn, the lower you can go the better, imho. That sets the established grass back and give the new grass a better chance to establish. But, the lower you go, the more work it is to do it best. Overseeding you don't want a bunch of debris left on top to interfere with seed/soil contact. That means cutting and bagging with several passes with a bagging mower. I have even needed a lawn vac sometimes. When you cut a yard that has alot of grass that low, it makes for large volumes of dead grass and thatch that need to be removed before overseeding.

How short can I cut my Zoysia lawn this winter?
Q

John here are my recommendations. Maintain current height for now until it goes dormant for winter rest. Then next spring with you see signs it is starting to turn green, scalp it down to 1 inch and bag all the debris. I will warn you it will look like crap with nothing but stems and twigs. As soon as you see it starting to recover and green up a bit after scalping, apply your first of 3 yearly fertilizer applications. Be sure to water the fertilizer in. Then maintain the lawn at 1-1/2 to 2 inches with a rotary mower with a good sharp blade. Zoysia is a very tough grass and hard on lawn mower blades so keep the blade sharp. Otherwise you will just tear the grass and it will look brown on the tips and spoil the color, not to mention open it up for pest and disease issues. If you use a reel mower maintain at 3/4 to 1-1/2 inches with sharp blades. Lastly fertilize only 3 times per season spaced 8 to 10 weeks apart. DO NOT over fertilize Zoysia. Good luck and don't forget to check in next year and let us know how it went.

Go up to the right hand top and click on the square with the 2 little boxes in it. That will make your page go to 1/2 its width. Then go to the icon in the left of the address bar and click on it and drag it to your desktop. Did that do it? Here is a link that might be useful: More on it...Is FF set as your default browser?

how to create a tumbled edge on cut tiles???
Q
Comments (3)
One of the many reasons cut edges of tile are normally 'buried' at the edge of the field where they cannot be seen. The only edges left in a filed are square cut edges on square cut tile (or stone). It is often a problem with MANY tiles since they often have a slight rounded edges down to the grout joint, and unless they are a solid tile (same finish all the way through) the square edge sticks out like a sore thumb in a field of rounded edge.

I'm trying to short cut a web site I visit everyday.

why not just put it in your browser favorites or bookmarks or on the bookmark toolbar of your browser? You will have to have your browser open any way to go to the website.
If we knew which browser you were using we could give you some instructions.
are you using IE or firefox and which version?

I put my daily sites on my favorites toolbar on my browser and just click that to go to that page.

The easiest way in Firefox and Yahoo! is to go to the site you want, re-size the window so you can see the Desktop, and then right-click, and hold and drag the icon in the address bar (the one to the left of the site address) onto the Desktop. However, I find this to be a less-than-desireable approach to frequently visited sites. Any site I visit daily is just bookmarked and put on my Bookmarks Toolbar across the top of my Firefox browser. That way I don't have any extra clicks getting to the Desktop to find a shortcut. I display them alphabetically, and I've shortened the names to 5-6 letters each so I have room for about 30 or so.

I think you will come to prefer that. Sometimes the Bookmarks for some web sites have very long names and take up a lot of space on the Bookmarks Toolbar, but they can be easily edited to something short. If you need directions on how to do this, just re-post and mention the browser you are using.
