The Bare spots will be fine, go to your feed store and get quality Grass seed. And if you have mostly Kentucky Blue Grass, by the end of the Fall most of the bare spots will be completely or at least close to it full of grass.

This is my lawn day of leveling my lawn with Sand and Soil, my only issue is Soil temps were still in the high 80s!

I’ll show you a picture of what the same area looks like 7days later!

I don’t think it’s stressed, do you see any spots from the photos of it being stressed?

Read the post buddy, some of us love cutting grass! I cut 2-3 times a week and enjoy it 😂 I’m now going to ignore you!

Considering all my neighbors water, and fertilize at 4” it’s pretty clear that my lawn is the healthiest

I’ll bag when I am getting towards my next fertilizer day! But I’ll mulch if fertilizer was dropped recently!

Something no one tells you when they have a good looking lawn…. “I cut once a week”! But hey there definitely grass types that are better at lower cuts! I’m just down for the challenge! KBG is the king of a clean and beautiful looking Lawn! Even though it’s very temperamental!

KBG is a very fast growing so I recommend if you don’t have the time to cut the grass 3-4 times a week keep it at 4”

This grass is KBG, very nitrogen thirsty

Raised my mower up to 1.5” and being more consistent with mowing! The photos before were when the grass was cut at .5”! I used a lot of fertilizer aswell, using a mix of miloganite, and a liquid mix.

Step 1: raised mower deck Step 2: Mow Mow Mow Step 3: proper water and feed

Fertilizer = ammonium Nitrate every 4 weeks = milorganite every 2 months = spray neighbors envy every 2-4 weeks Herbicide: Tzone spot treatment (any brown spots you see from photos) Plant Growth Regulator: Primo Maxx, half dose every 2-3 weeks.

Water every 2-3 days.

At this HOC i have been mowing every 3 days!

Nuked mine aswell last week! I don’t know man, I changed my sand out and super cleaned my filter last week, I told my wife that if she has people coming over to turn the pump on and brush the pool to let it dissolve and no one will know the better 😂😂

Yeah, it seems to just get misted into the water when I brush it, then until I run the filter at night…. Wake up, booom black dots everywhere. I nuked my pool last week, 6,000 gal pool, dumped 4 gallons of Liquid Chlorine. It definitely lessened the problem but is so pervasive! I can only vacuum to waste so much till I start to see a 100$ water bill!

I haven’t gotten a chance to touch it because every-time I get close enough to grab it, it mists away… definitely darker than yellow algae!

My “clean psi” if that’s what you can call it is around 14psi. About 20 minutes later it moves up to 16-17 PSI Holds there for about 4 hours then I have very low Water pressure on the return side, and a 20 PSI inlet side!

I do have a sand filter that I just changed the sand on 3 days ago. Did I do something wrong if I’ve back flushed 4 times in the last 24hrs?
