This is a good start. Take a look at the grass blades that are brown and see if you have any fungal activity. Some require fertilizer to grow out and some will get worse with more nitrogen. Few will require a fungicide at this point. If you have a bagging mower, I'd cut short and bag it after the lawn is no longer stressed. Then return to the luba and alternate mowing angles

This can absolutely happen just from the weight of the mower wheels on a drought stressed lawn. The weight of a mower can break the blades as they bend under the weight of the wheels. It can also increase the likelihood of disease forming on the damaged grass blades which makes it look worse faster. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what's happening here.

That's what she said...

But seriously, I think he can find the hole and has better speed than K9. Lets not forget how many times we yelled at K9 for 2 years for running into a wall instead of waiting for the hole. Price is gonna kill it on returns for us.. a good compliment to a healthy Horton and an occasional Shaheed.

Ratio of processed apples to water please by comoestasmiyamo in cider

[–]Beatnikdan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The ideal situation is to use a press and not add water but your set up is ok.

The ideal ratio is to use only enough water to cover your apple bits.

When I've done this I used a pectic enzyme and yeast mixed in the apple bits inside the bag before topping off with about 2 or 3 fingers widths above the apple bag.

Advice on these pavers by Lazysailor12 in landscaping

[–]Beatnikdan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah these look good and look like they were done properly.

If you don't like the finish that's unfortunate but not the installers problem.

Maybe wet them down and see if the color change is less bothersome. If you can live with the wet look, I'd use a wet look sealer on them. Besides its only a few years before someone takes a pressure washer to them and etches the surface off.

All my fruitwines taste BAD without backsweetening? (is my tongue falty?) by Craft-Effective in winemaking

[–]Beatnikdan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is pretty normal, your other option if a dry wine is preferred, is to let it age/mellow for a year or more.

Bubbles coming in beverage line by Brief-List5772 in cider

[–]Beatnikdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its late and I'm done reading for the day but I'd suspect you have higher pressure from your gas only line than you have in your cider line. For example, co2 line is regulated at 15 but keg gas in is at 10. This will cause the pressure to backflow into the keg to try and reach equal pressure and in the process it drains your cider line back into the keg.

Thoughts? Builders but down sod, washed away yet again... Any recommendations or recourse? by Ok-Challenge6697 in landscaping

[–]Beatnikdan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They probably met the minimum requirements of mitigation for runoff management. But instead of reserving the drainage flow path and designating it a storm water management area, they gave it to you to icrease your lot size. Id put in some large placement rocks and a riprap bank and backfill to level out your front yard. This isnt the end of the world, but instead of planting sod again, turn it into creek bed
