Crinum Talk, Houston TX, July 18, 2006
Comments (0)Hi Gang, The Crinum talk will be at Mercer Arboretum in Houston, on Tuesday July 18 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Bring your brown bag lunch. Some of the species and hybrids to be discussed are shown in the images below. See 'ya there. Cordially, Joe Conroe, TX...See MoreMarch Lawn Care in Houston, TX
Comments (4)Alfalfa pellets at 20 pounds per 1,000 square feet for front and back. The St Augustine should spread about 5 feet in all directions in April and again in October. By that time you should be watering once per week. Fertilize all the St Augustine and none of the bare or damaged area. When you see runners, fertilize along those lines with alfalfa. You cannot overdo it with alfalfa pellets. Moisten them, let them swell up, let them dry out, and then brush or sweep them down into the turf. This process takes about 24 hours. If your St Augustine is in full sun, then mildly active dogs should be no problem. Wildly active dogs will still be a problem. I have a Catahoula leopard puppy, and he's got my shady back yard very torn up. How are you going to seed the back with dogs? Is there a plan for keeping them out of the mud? The seed needs to be kept moist with 3x per day watering. You have time for this project, because the seed won't do well until May in Houston. The soil needs to be very warm for bermuda. Would you consider sprigging the bermuda? Search this forum for the approach SimonR took for stolonizing bermuda. This, too, would require a plan to keep the dogs off the yard for several weeks....See MoreSt., Aug Lawn has Take-All Patch, Brown Patch, and Stolon Rot
Comments (3)Given that diagnosis, I would spend about $5 per 1,000 square feet to sprinkle ordinary corn meal on it. Corn meal leads to a cure for a surprisingly wide array of garden fungal diseases. The app rate is 20 pounds per 1,000 square feet. You can get corn meal at your local feed store or I saw it in 50-pound bags at Sam's Club last weekend. How often are you watering? And for how long? Was your lawn covered up with gardening clippings or anything else recently?...See MoreBrown circle spots. Is it brown patch? Summer patch? Chinch bugs?
Comments (25)cut & paste from another thread this morning: "Quinclorac kill crabgrass. It's the active ingredient in Drive XLR8, you can use any brand and it will work. Some people (reeljake) uses Sulfosulfuron (Sedge Ender) and it works fine as well. People have have pretty good results keep most weeds out of their bermuda with Celsius and Sulfosulfuron. Plus there is no issues related to applying in hotter temps. Reeljake also uses Dimension with active ingredient dithiopyr as his pre-emergent, I use Prodiamine. With either you want year round coverage to keep ALL WEEDS from germinating. You will need to start your PreM asap to keep winter weeds at bay, then again in Spring for Spring/Summer weeds. PreM: Prodiamine or Dimension Crabgrass: Quinclorac or Sulfosulfuron General weeds (post-emergent): Celsius - 2,4-D will work also but turns grass yellow If you get the correct products, it won't matter what the weed is, it either will never germinate in your yard, thanks to the PreM, or will die when sprayed with the post-emergent."...See Morejameshtx
