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.

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

Is it too early to scalp?

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

Well, I missed my best window of opportunity for my preemergent this year. Went to spray the Prodiamine 65 WDG on 2-9-24 and my battery was dead and would not charge on the sprayer. I could have went and bought some granular, but I didn`t want to spend the $$ for the granular since I had the Prodiamine 65 WDG already. So, I decided to just order a battery and use the old "Spray and Pray" method this year. Then, I had a problem with my first E-Bay order (USPS) and had to finally order from Amazon 9 days later and finally got a battery on 2-21 and sprayed on 2-22 and watered in. I`m sure it will still do some good, but how much, who knows. I have very little Poa this year and a few broadleaf weed so far. 99% of the Poa is at the edge of my lawn where I probably didn`t apply enough spray last September. Scalped down to .75" and a trailer of bagged grass to show for my efforts. BTW.... the first battery I ordered arrived yesterday after I cancel that order and got my refund. The seller said to just keep it, so now I have a backup for free. clap
Also....Those knock out rose bushes at the back of the house are now gone. I pulled them out with my truck and a long tow strap yesterday. They had so many thorns on them that I decided to just get rid of them. I called them Satan bushes. We have some in the front flower beds that are knock out roses but very easy to trim and not very thorny compared to the ones I pulled out. confused 3

It appears to have very little molybdenum (a/k/a Mo).

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.

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.
