Okay guys here ya go. First experiment is a pic of the house that is already seasoned and lookin' good. But TW the only thing I saw was "" on your post. I have no idea what bpgreen saw. And since I don't know where to paste it I am pasting here and the Optional Link URL and the Name of Link. Hope you guys can see this.... http://nfinit.smugmug.com/Landscapes/Landscaping/518159_jubCB#21331199_f7o5C Here is a link that might be useful: http://nfinit.smugmug.com/Landscapes/Landscaping/518159_jubCB#21331199_f7o5C

If you've got the time (to sprinkle the seeds and seedlings), go ahead and re seed now, with more KBG. You're going to lose a few seedlings, to the summer heat. Can't be helped. But obviously, more will survive than die. Fertilize again (make it about every thirty days), with Milorganite. That will keep the KBG spreading outward, growing like crazy. But at this time of the year, the poa annua is dying, and the crabgrass is becoming visible, big, and large, and becoming a perfect target for one well-placed shot of RoundUp (from the squeeze bottle). Use Milorganite through the summer. But don't use Milorganite in the fall: there are certainly cheaper ways to get a big amount of Nitrogen onto that lawn. In the fall (October, and then again in November, for you and me: I'm in mid-Michigan) we want a big-number fertilizer. 30-1-2, or 28-2-4, (notice that big first number? 30, or 22, or 25, compared to Milorganite's measly "6"?) BIG first number means BIG nitrogen. I am NOT going to put down five applications of nitrogen just to get up to thirty on the first number of nitrogen. But in the fall, you want BIG nitrogen. In the fall, Milorganite ain't it. I love that stuff for June, July, and August. But not for the fall fertilizing. Good luck with it.

"You'd rather carry a separate bike pump or motorized compressor around rather than just pump the handle up and down a few times here and there to maintain the pressure?" No, I would rather carry the sprayer back to the pump. How far would that be for the average gardener, maybe 50 ft.? Also, the frequency of needing to repump decreases with the ratio of air space to liquid within the container. At a ratio of about 4, only one pumping is necessary. I should point out that a tire pump connector could be a retrofit option for pumps aready with a pump. It could even be manufactured by a 3rd party. Incidentally, at Home Depot, I saw an interesting selection of sprayer brands that I never saw during online shopping, e.g., Clorox brand. Anyway, because it was so cheap, I bought a "Roundup/Ortho" brand 2 gal sprayer made by Fountainhead Group, Inc. for $20. It has a 5 year warrantee and seems to be of good construction. The piston is lubrication free and the nozzle is brass. It will be interesting to see how long this works before breaking.
