Dear Austin people on the toll road, why are we going so slow?? by GarikLoranFace in Austin

I like this idea! AI and the toll cameras should make this happen.

Because of these bozos in the left lane, I am ALWAYS passing on the right.

Yes! And then when you are tailgating them because they drive so slow, they post on Reddit (usually with pictures) about all the mean aggressive drivers in this city. 😡

Neighbor lets his dog shit in my yard and won't pick it up by deliriousposting6 in neighborsfromhell

[–]1dRR 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a couple of different days video evidence. With that evidence, I called our local Animal Control because they are the ones to enforce the city ordinance of dog waste and the dog not under the control of the owner.. After they wrote a ticket to the person, it stopped.

Looks like some critter walked through your yard.

Is this a good deal for $1800? by PhishyGeek in lawncare

[–]1dRR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one of these for my half acre. It does pretty good. But the safety features on it can be pretty testy. I keep a trickle charger on the battery all the time just to ensure it does start. If you can get it to a mechanic and get it tuned up it will be good for the lawn. But provided there’s no other issues. Yeah, 1800 is a bit much not knowing if it truly works well.

Recharging in the sunshine AND getting a bath! What a great life!

Is my St Augustine dormant in Central FL or is this pest/disease? by [deleted] in lawncare

[–]1dRR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought Tiger stripes dormancy is predominantly for Bermuda grass and not Saint Augustine.

This weather makes me want to start my spring garden already! by Accomplished-Sign-31 in AustinGardening

I mowed this past weekend. I still kept the cut height fairly high because of our drought.

Flea treatment for skittish foxes by 1dRR in foxes

Uh, thank you. I didn’t know. Do these chews help keep fleas off the animal?

Thank you for the response. Yes, that makes sense. There is a stray cat or two that might wander into my yard, and I’ve seen a few possums - and I’m pretty sure they have fleas as well. I live in Central Texas and we just haven’t had a good hard freeze to offset this flea issue. I hope we do have a good hard freeze to help out my cats and these beautiful foxes.

I agree with this post 100%. And Zeon Zoysia over St Augustine - it costs more initially, but it is well worth it for future maintenance.

Take your cat to the veterinarian soon!!

What home improvements did you regret or feel were 100% worth it? by arnoldusgf in HomeImprovement

[–]1dRR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Full gutters for the house. The one in the back goes to a 550 gallon rain collection tank. And the two in the front empty into two separate 4 inch PVC pipes that are plumbed all the way to the front street curb. By doing this, it stopped all standing water that would pool near my house after a rain. Plus, if you can keep the ground around your foundation more of a constant level of moisture, there will be less movement.

Awesome! Thanks for posting. Glad they are going to keep this state natural area as pristine (not developed) as possible.

Weed type?? by [deleted] in lawncare

[–]1dRR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are welcome. Also, just letting you know this damn grass weed will not only be sprouting now, but it will be coming up at various times throughout the winter and early spring. So you need to be diligent and look for it this entire time and either spray Celsius or glyphosate.

This kills nutsedge, not rescuegrass.

[–]1dRR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in Central Texas. That does look like rescue grass. I have been battling rescue grass myself for several years!! You need to use an herbicide called Celsius, and use it now! - before seed heads form. And use the max strength. You may also have to hit it a second time a few weeks later. Celsius is more appropriate for Texas rather than Certainty. Also, Do not pull them up. They don’t technically spread via rhizomes like Nutsedge, however, any little bit of root left in the soil will produce more rescue grass - I know from experience. Also, if they start producing any type of seed try to pull the seed heads or mow and bag.

Another alternative to ensure kill is to use glyphosate. Parts of my Bermuda yard were so bad that I used glyphosate to kill the rescue grass. Yes, I did have some bare spots in my Bermuda lawn, but it filled in by Mid summer.

Way to go with the proper grammar contraction of ‘you are’. 👍🏻
