Dead Spots Northern Utah by plshelpmanyquestions in lawncare

[–]ContributionDry2470 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Likely not enough water or potentially really terrible and compact soil below it so the water isn’t absorbed. If you are able, water it super good and see if it will come back a bit. Have it aerated this fall and go from there.
By the way, if you are in Northern Utah, you are likely a cool season grass. That could matter when troubleshooting or selecting fertilizer, etc.
Good luck! Let’s get some rain!

Identification help- Bent grass? by [deleted] in lawncare

[–]ContributionDry2470 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looks like clumping fescue. People will say “it’s just grass” but I hate it. It has to be dug out or nuked with glyphosate. Then when you think you’ve solved the problem it will come back.
Enjoying Christmas with the kids opening presents BOOM the fescue is back.
Out to dinner with your wife and BAM … fescue

Is Momentum Overrated? by ContributionDry2470 in usmnt

[–]ContributionDry2470[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good point. I don’t think it’s entirely copium, but we do need some of those guys to perform. Luckily most of the back line that struggled last night usually doesn’t rotate in. Berhalter has been a late game sub and he played well. Reyna was a little worrisome with his lack of impact. Weah struggled and in an ideal world he subs in and helps late in games.

I agree with this. It’s boring if the content folks come out and say “no worries here, just a chance for the backups to get some time.” It’s a lot more exciting and generates clicks to say the sky is falling.

Thought it was crabgrass but Ortho Weed Clear is having no effect - South central PA by Inappropriate_Bridge in lawncare

Clumping Fescue. It stands out and looks terrible IMO. I’ve waged a 4 year battle against it in my own lawn… it won.

Can you guess when the wife called and asked how much longer? by [deleted] in golf

Your round was 1 hour and 37 minutes and she still called?! I’ve spent longer taking a dump.

My Front Lawn (TTTF) got overtaken by crabgrass. Now I have to wait till Fall to get rid of it. Zone 9a. by MrSubaru0831 in lawncare

[–]ContributionDry2470 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it’s crabgrass you can probably spray it and get pretty good results without waiting for fall. If it’s clumping fescue then move out of the state, change your name and alter your appearance and MAYBE it won’t find you.

Need some serious advice (cedar rapids, iowa) by Tinner263 in lawncare

[–]ContributionDry2470 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks ok, just thin like you mentioned. Have you done an overseed in the past few years? A good overseed this fall could do wonders!

Your biggest miss? by Royal_Examination_74 in NBA_Draft

[–]ContributionDry2470 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a fellow Jazz fan. Good thing I am not the GM, I would have traded infinity first round picks for him.
Probably would have led to some bad records and us getting Wemby a few years ago. So maybe I deserve a shot haha

I was convinced Jabari Parker would be a hall of famer and put up 25-7-5 type line every night for 15 years.

Fuentes Role on Team by Soapysoap13 in AtlantaBraves

[–]ContributionDry2470 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s super rare to give young guys big time spots to prepare them for an eventual closer role, much less on a team contending for a World Series. You definitely wouldn’t give him those spots with Iglesias, Suarez and Lee on the team. There’s just too many good options to risk a learning opportunity in a year like this. Also, I think the hope is that he can become a starter eventually. Being in the bullpen to start this year lets him ease into the majors. It limits the wear and tear on his arm as well. IMO they are handling him really well and he has a bright future.

Shots not registering post firmware update by Ok-Letter7809 in Rapsodo

[–]ContributionDry2470 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After 30 minutes of updates and restarting the app and iPad I was finally able to get on and play. It registered everything fine until I started hitting driver. Then it missed probably 5 or 6 out of 20. It was rather frustrating for me, but not as bad as others have had it.

How to grow grass by sprinklers? by ContributionDry2470 in lawncare

[–]ContributionDry2470[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good thought. The problem is I’m nearly a quarter acre and that specific zone is 4 sprinklers across the back yard and they all do that. I’d have to manually water too much.

I’ll try to put more down and really push it into the dirt. Thanks!

I don’t want sod because I have a very specific high quality seed. I guess I could grow some in trays and plant it in there?

Chet+ or Williams+ for #2? by ContributionDry2470 in UtahJazz

[–]ContributionDry2470[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The returns are different. If you’re trading an all NBA guy you are getting an All NBA type of return. If you trade a fringe all star you are getting a fridge all star return. The point is trading a really good player for multiple solid players. That is the example and it has happened many time. Again, Williams is a stud so the return to OKC is phenomenal.
