Derek, Got my SW1 test results in for my St Augustine lawn (N Houston)... how bad of shape am I? BTW... Folks at Waypoint Analytical are awesome!! Super easy to get this done. Hey what service did you use to get this? We just moved houses and our bermuda lawn is a mess from the previous owners. I'm looking to get a soil test done to figure out what I can do to make it better.

Waypoint Analytical, SW1 test.
Super easy... just download their form, fill it out.. collect your sample(s), each about one ziplock sandwich bag full, send it off to the TN office. They sent the invoice and report to email, paid via cc over the phone. From beginning to end was less than a week.

Thanks Derek... I'm on it...
For the elemental sulphur, I know you've mentioned Tiger 90 t-pack, but I'm not finding that one.. I do see Tiger 90CR which is 90% sulphur with 10% bentonite. Will this suffice? Additionally, I'll also try to source my fertilizer with ammonium sulfate..
Hopefully getting these things in place will help me gain some ground on the war I have going with the fungal infections...
Thanks again, you da man! Tiger 90CR is what you're looking for. It can be tough to find sometimes. My Tractor Supply typically has it. There is another brand called Martin. My nursery stocks it. You could roll with a 3-1-2 fert I.E. 15-5-10 - I know Randy Lemon (RIP) would recommend this one on his Houston radio program so it should be easy to find. I've never seen it around here and I haven't found a label yet. I'd like to see the ingredient list. The orange 15-5-10 https://www.nitro-phos.com/products.html

You're good to scalp. I'm doing it next Saturday. I typically shoot for mid March but with these temps and no/low rain chances I'm bumping up my timing. I have a lot of green up already too.

The next 14 days here in DFW will be 70 or warmer for 11 of those days. A few of those in the 80s. Seems like everything will happen sooner this year

Here's a label pic of the Nitro-Phos 15-5-10 It appears to have very little molybdenum (a/k/a Mo).

Is it too early to scalp? Mowers scalped my lawn about 3 weeks ago.

Found a bag of Tiger 90 Sulphur at Tractor Supply in Bartonville - said they had one more.
I screwed up and originally posted this on the gardening thread.

They were the only ones that had any near me last year. They didn`t have it very though, so you better get what you need early or you`ll end up like I did last year. SOL.

They actually added it to their website this year. Though it's not at very many stores when you look around. Mine shows to have one bag. I need to go see if they do. If anything it gives you a Sku# that you might be to talk to a manager and have him bring it in. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/p...X6cPbhAMV_xqtBh0QfArhEAQYASABEgJCiPD_BwE

I`ve decided that I wasn`t chasing my PH # anymore. I applied 25 lbs. per 1000 over the past 2 years (250 lbs. entire lawn). It is what it is. Not gonna pay 50 bucks a bag for ES any longer. May quit applying Feature as well. I`m going to do a 18x30 test area with Feature around mid-May and if I`m not blown away I`ll probably use what I have left from last year and call it quits. I`m just not sure that the juice is worth the squeeze.
