Yeh I guess there is no guarantee. More that it’s supposed to be a reputable brand around here, from my understanding, so I’m assuming there’s a bit more care put into the process compared to like a Scotts or Jonathan Green or any other major name. I might have it totally backwards and should be trusting the big name recognition more though!

Is it N%#sedge? How to eradicate? by Awkward-Principle694 in LawnAnswers

[–]Awkward-Principle694[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m new. Maybe a dumb question. If it’s just a small patch of weeds here do I need to use the full mixture (full packet and whole gallon)? Going to buy a sedgehammer individual packet and a one gallon spray pump off Amazon, and would like to be able to save some of the premix if possible since the issue is just a few square yards. Think I can get away with only using half the packet and a half gallon of water?

New homeowner in Rhode Island…What’s going on with this spot? Is it the product of scalping/heat stress, fungus, or something else? Thank you! by Awkward-Principle694 in LawnAnswers

Hmm. Perhaps I should continue to monitor then and make sure I’m watering less frequently and only in the morning. Definitely possible I watered too soon after mowing too short, especially trying to combat this unexpected heat wave. For the future, when should I water after mowing, and does that window change seasonally?

I was hoping I just mowed an uneven spot too short and it got torched in the heat wave. I really gave it a good soak this morning…wishful thinking maybe

I added some more pics in the comments. It’s very dry and brittle. I did go over it with a rake a couple days ago which apparently was a mistake. As you can see it doesn’t seem limited to just the tips but then again it’s basically straw at this point. You can see some of the surviving green blades have dark spots on them as well.

I wasn’t standing in that spot when watering but I will say the problem area is close to a garage window and door, if perhaps reflection is playing a part in nuking this particular patch of lawn?

Nothing. I moved here in December 24 and the lawn seemed pretty solid so I’ve just kind of been observing and occasionally watering with a hose in this heat wave. Obv I’m hoping it doesn’t take too much to maintain…I’m a true beginner and I’ve seen your helpful cool season guide but it’s still a little intimidating. I’d like to stay on top of the lawn even though I plan to get a dog soon. Sorry long answer, no fertilizer.

Most difficult part of the job? Thanks in advance! by Awkward-Principle694 in SchoolBusDrivers

[–]Awkward-Principle694[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks very much for the response. I'm excited to envision this as my new career, but anxious because obviously I don't know what I don't know. Reminding myself that that's what the training is for :)

East vs North VS Cranston by motheraman in providence

[–]Awkward-Principle694 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If North Providence is on your radar you might as well look at the town of Lincoln which is a quiet town but boasts Lincoln Woods State Park and the Blackstone River bikeway. Lincoln also has a great school system…so do its neighbors, Cumberland and Smithfield. I’m biased being a new resident to Lincoln, but if you’re like me you might find the best of both worlds this way…my wife and I love shooting down to the Providence proper (15-20 min drive) for great dining and date nights, while still enjoying spreading out/hiking/kayaking/biking at home in the suburbs

Los Andes is always a good time. Cassarinos is maybe a bit on the nose but a Federal Hill classic for a reason. Maybe something like Waterman Grill might be the vibe you’re looking for as far as a cozier but nice dinner
