1/2 bermuda sod, 1/2 bermuda seed help
Comments (1)It is more likely you are watering and/or mowing incorrectly. Then you might not be fertilizing right and that would be the trifecta. There is no way to match a seeded variety with any of the sodded varieties of bermuda. Once they grow together or you get some seeded (common) bermuda in the TIF, then you have a permanent weedy look. You should be watering deeply and infrequently. You are probably watering lightly and every day or two. Improper watering is the fastest way to get weeds. Deeply means a full inch, as measured by some empty tuna or cat food cans in the yard. Time how long it takes your sprinkler(s) to fill the cans and use that time. Infrequently means no more than once every week or two this time of year. When the temps get into the 90s, then go to once per week. You might be mowing too high. Bermuda should be mowed at the lowest or second lowest notch on a rotary mower. If you are fertilizing right, you might need to mow 2x per week. Mowing low will cause the bermuda to grow more horizontally than vertically. This is what causes bermuda to become dense. If you want good color and good density (to help keep weeds out), you should fertilize every month of the growing season with a high nitrogen fertilizer....See MorePreschool at 2 1/2 or 3 1/2?
Comments (4)Hi - don't know if the question is still open or not, but here's my .02: We are in an area that sounds similar to yours. It's basically a commuter suburb with most everyone working in NYC. Extremely competitive, particularly with regard to schools. My older son is in a Montessori preschool that we had to apply to well over a year in advance. The private school he'll be starting in 2004 (he's spending his K year in Montessori), we needed to apply to in Jan. of this year. Because the Montessori doesn't start until the kids are 3 (they must be 3 by Dec. 31), I had my older son go to a 2's program at a local temple. It was 3 days a week, 3 hours a day. My younger son will start that same 2s program this fall, but I was definitely vascillating and will probably only send him 2 days instead of 3. It's a nice program, but like most 2's programs, is basically enriched day care. We could have done without it, but there were a few reasons that I liked it. He DID learn quite a bit, especially religious stuff, which is where I tend to be a bit lax. He got used to being around, and listening to adults other than me, it reinforced many things taught at home but not often practiced like sharing, turns, being kind to others, proper manners, etc. And most importantly - it gave me a 3 hour break three days a week. Besides my work, I was able to read, shop, visit with friends and work out entirely unencumbered by my kid. I found that after a few hours without him, not only did I miss him, but I really wanted to spend time talking to him about his day and what he learned. I think the time off made me a better mommy. Whatever you decide, you'll be fine. AM...See MoreHow to use 1/2 & 1/2 and skim milk for whole milk
Comments (3)Wow, I didn't think of an actual measurement/equivalent. I just throw in some when I need to. I put some in my kefir recently to see if it made a difference....See MoreGranite counter edge - 1/2 bullnose or 1/2 eased with corner radius
Comments (2)@AFritzler - thanks so much for replying I ended doing a 1/2 bullnose edge as did not want any chipping issue. My fabricator mentioned that an eased edge was most popular today- maybe because of the contemporary look with quartz. But I was ok with the 1/2 bullnose as my kitchen is transitional and not contemporary/modern . 1/2 bullnose also shows granite thickness and my pattern seems to flow over the top edge. An eased may have been a more solid look though. Sink - I did a 3/8 rounded edge with a very, very slight positive reveal (thanks to advice from houzz). Corner radius my fabricator matched to the sink. I am happy with the outcome, but it took a lot of researching what to do- lol Thanks again for replying...See MoreLindsey_CA
