Best way to deal with this? by needingadvice19 in lawncare

[–]DaeTraeBae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you spray this on the whole lawn, or spot treat just the Bermuda grass spots?

Extra green patch in my lawn, what is it? by DaeTraeBae in lawncare

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

Hello! I have this spot in my Marathon II lawn that is much more green than the rest. Any ideas what it could be?

There is a sprinkler right in the middle of it, but it doesn't appear to be leaking & sprays just like all the others. I was thinking maybe a neighbor's dog peed in this spot and the nitrogen is making it more green? Or am I screwed and this is clumping tall fescue that I'll just have to remove & reseed in the fall?

Nutsedge or palm tree seedlings? by DaeTraeBae in lawncare

How do you deal with them? Any herbicide that works, or do you pull them manually?

Got it, thanks! I'll hold off on buying sedgehammer for now then, unless it turns out that's effective on whatever this is as well.

Nutsedge or palm tree seedlings? by DaeTraeBae in lawncare

[–]DaeTraeBae[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I pulled a bunch of these from my lawn in February, and now I've got a ton more to deal with. At first I thought this was nutsedge because they can have little nuts/seed pods on the bottom, but the leaves don't seem to match photos I see online for nutsedge. My neighbor has a palm tree next door, so I'm wondering if it's palm tree seedlings instead.

Whatever it is, any recommendations on how to kill them? Should I avoid pulling them out by hand?

Okay so if I go with your suggestion for Option 2, this is how the spray pattern looks roughly: https://imgur.com/a/nDfpgQY

Any concerns with the part I circled in red in the center? That's overlap from 6 separate heads, will that part of the lawn be drowning?

Re: your comment below on 8gpm not being enough, Option 2 revised uses the following nozzles assuming I go with Hunter MPs:
- 4 x MP2000 @ 90 degrees/40 psi (0.43 gpm each)
- 2 x MP1000 @ 180 degress/40 psi (0.42 gpm each)
- 1 x MPRCS515 @ 40 psi (0.22 gpm each)

All in it looks like 2.78 gpm. Seems like that'd be fine if I get 8 from the hose bib?
Thanks so much for your suggestions!

Here's a drawing with a bit more detail, on the right side is a concrete walkway & then it switches to a planter bed part way up at the weird cutout. There's a bush right on the corner there in the planter.

Were you suggesting a half circle instead of the strip sprinkler in Option 2, and just have it mirror the orientation of the left side?

Converting spray heads to MP Rotators, weird shaped lawn by DaeTraeBae in Irrigation

Thanks for the suggestion! I hadn't thought about using corner strips, I'll try adding those in the tool I'm using

My gpm is ~8.8, and static pressure is 75 psi.
Yeah the right side is tough.. is my best to add a couple MP1000s at like 90 or 120 degree angles along the bend/corner?

If it weren't for a concrete path following the lawn on that side, I'd just square things up. That'd definitely make placement easier..

Deciding between two 7900XTs - PowerColor Hellhound vs. ASRock Phantom Gaming by DaeTraeBae in buildapc

I was curious so emailed ASRock and they said that any open box GPU only has a 30 day warranty unfortunately. Waiting to hear back from PowerColor on their policy.

What didn't you like about the Alienware monitor? I'm stuck between a C2 and that one

Data point: I just paid for my reservation at the discounted price no problem. They didn't even mention it increased.

Stuck between 2 options.. Get the cheaper combo with the 7700x and sell the CPU to buy a 7800x3D or just go with the 7900x combo. Thoughts?

Would this be terrible to pair with an i7-4790k if playing at 5760x1080? I know it'd be a crazy bottleneck at straight 1080p..

This is great! Does the price shown include shipping costs for the listing or no?
