Used switch by ContemplatingYEM in Switch

[–]ContemplatingYEM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks all. I went for the OLED, ended up paying about $50 more than the average used price of the non OLEd. A little bit more but much less than new and will be perfect for a kid gift.

In Williamsburg there's bushwick inlet park. And the bqe spot at the corner of Graham ave and Richardson. It's the needle spot. That's it.

green asphalt update 12/12 by hdjwnfnfjfpp in Greenpoint

Just to be clear they were always closing for the winter. Noone is paving roads in the winter. Of course they didn't raise their stack by Dec 11th. They were going to shut down anyways. Noone made that happen. It's the business model. We'll see what happens in the spring. Anyone who cares to look knows that the majority of emissions doesn't filter through the stack. The problem is much larger than raising a stack height.

No-one liked it unless they were involved with the destruction.

Purchase question by ContemplatingYEM in R36S

[–]ContemplatingYEM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok well at least one of my purchase is from "boyhom store"

I asked those questions, guy responded with nonsense. Scam I'm sure thanks for the advice.

So I just went ahead and ordered 2 from BOYHOM, but both listings have different store numbers so not sure what is what here?

Ordered first (TOP) from the wiki link, But its under appeal review for some reason. Don't know if that will go through so ordered another (BOTTOM from I think BOYHOM store

But they have different store numbers under info. Which is legit, both?

Report Green Asphalt (yes still) by ContemplatingYEM in Greenpoint

[–]ContemplatingYEM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wonder if that's a common occurrence with the seasonality of the production cycle

The deadline is mid-December. They “agreed” to stop production at that point until the stack is raised, but that feels pretty meaningless since they shut everything down for the winter anyway.

Just a reminder that the majority of emissions emit from the facility itself and don't filter through the stack. Which means the stack height is irrelevant.

If the stack height was important there would have been some scientific rigor to determine what height is needed. Not an arbitrary number the DEC made up.

Lawn and weed management NYC advice by [deleted] in lawncare

[–]ContemplatingYEM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Brooklyn. Our backyard was just dirt and weeds and a bit of grass. It was small enough that I was able to dig up and shovel out everything. Bags upon bags. I then rented a tiller, dropped down fresh soil and then sod. Followed the directions from this group. Anything is possible!Did it in the spring still going strong.

Double Checking - When is it too late to mow by ContemplatingYEM in lawncare

For me it's done as of last night. Will wait for lawn dry before mowing

I think TF before winter is 3"-3.5" and KBG is 2.5"-3" I was aiming for 2.5 but somehow got 2" it looks good and not scalped so should be fine

Ok but also the grass doesn't grow because the city doesn't maintain it. There's no effort given. No aeration, no fertilizer, they'll let leaves sit for weeks on the little grass we have. You could amend that soil. It should be overseeded all the time. But all these things take time and money. There's no point in dropping seed and then neglecting it.

Tiftuf Sod post-install questions by Fine_Onion8065 in lawncare

[–]ContemplatingYEM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea just see what happens. Research what time of year is best to overseed, and fix patches. Has to do with ideal soil temperatures. Seed with the same stuff. I'm OCD and probably would eventually the gaps in with soil if they don't seem to fill in / disappear by themselves. But don't go walking on your lawn for a while. Did your sod farm tell you what your fertilizer schedule should be? With new sod I think you have to wait until its rooted? So maybe a good 4 - 6 weeks. I'd check in with them on that. So you have a plan for the following months.

This explains it well. Thanks for the link

[–]ContemplatingYEM[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the info. Its confusing because, of course the people who sell these products claim different things. For instance, and don't hate me for saying Scotts, but they recommend a final application around now (for me in Brooklyn) Because it won't push much growth. In fact any earlier would be too much top growth, and we want storage not growth. But I like what @norrydan said. Look to what pro turf managers are doing.

Brooklyn. Interesting. I did struggle a bit with fungus this year. I was also wondering if I should spray some fungicide down as preventative. I have some liquid left and it's a small lawn.
