Grubex. $15 right now on Amazon. You won't need it until next year, but grab it at this price. GrubExMissed it. Must have been a limited sale. Price is now $36. I logged out and checked multiple devices and the price was still $15

When I checked the link on my cell phone it showed the $15 price but showed none were available to add to my cart. After seeing yours and Ghost post his morning, I logged in with my laptop and saw the $15 price and was able to grab a couple of bags. Thanks for the heads up!

Walmart is starting to have some good clearance deal. I use this Preen in flowerbeds and it needs to be watered in immediately

Well historically I feel like Iโve been behind the eight ball on my fall attack on the weed issue. Having said that, I put out my weed and feed a couple weeks ago which I think is a little earlier than I have in the past. I have found the 2, 4 will kill the button weed that was thriving earlier in the year. Iโm ready for the fight.

There isnโt any rain in the forecast until 10/22. Iโll mow, then put down milorganite, peat moss, and sulphur in six days and water it in. Weโve had some wet, warm winters recently which can cause significant fungal issues the following spring. Lowering the ph some with sulfur and peat moss makes me feel better

JCB I'm honestly not doing anything. I've pretty much got everything done for the year and just mowing and watering as needed.
CCTX. I wouldn't put down sulphur now. It need heat and water to breakdown. The heat is done. I don't think it would breakdown. I put my last app down around Sept 1st. if not a week before.

Iโm always ready for this time of year to arrive after a long hot summer. Been a much different year from last year. August was pretty dry and then over 10โ of rain in September. Last fertilizer application 2 weeks ago for a total of right at 5 lbs. of nitrogen per K. Been using Tnex since mid June and last application 10 days ago. Front coming thru tonight will bring temps down enough to reduce any Bermuda growth. I figure Iโve got 2 mows left in the season and 3 if Iโm bored and want the exercise.

Fungus issues is an understatement over the last two years in New Bruanfels. I tried everything chemically to get a handle on it, limited watering, etc. I fertilized with organic (medina) once already and will hit my St Augustine again before winter. I am planning on leveling and composting this spring. The only option I haven't tried is to go completely organic and see what happens. I suspect over the years the yard has flooded many times and no one bothered to wash the sediment off the yard so the yard has a hard crust on top that is causing problems. We will see if this helps. My yard has slowly gotten better over the 5 years I have been there but it has never been what I want so we will see if this makes a difference.

Tired of fighting that fungus and everything involved with SA. Buttonweed That stuff is taking over everywhere I look. I found that the 2, 4-D will kill it.
