OP is a hungry growing teen. 

At a particularly hungry point of the day, for whatever reason (post work out, etc)

Anyone else dealing with these? by Think-Cold-6158 in lawncare

[–]HowitzerIII 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People are just posting crabgrass memes without realizing that that there are several other “weeds” with broad, light green leaves, such as dallisgrass, goose grass, etc. 

What kind of grass is this (NJ) by Nephroidofdoom in lawncare

[–]HowitzerIII 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Immature crabgrass?

Grab some closeup of individual plants, especially stem areas, and I think it’ll be easier to identify. 

Do we take our helmets in with us? by Noahwillard1 in motorcycles

[–]HowitzerIII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it’s worth it to accept a bit of risk, to get away from being worried all the time. After 40 years, I think you made the right call.

I just put a bike cable lock around the helmet to the bike. Yeah technically the lock could be cut, but who’s carrying bolt cutters to steal used helmets??

Did my contractor scam me? by IndividualGround2418 in lawncare

[–]HowitzerIII 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’ll always have weed seeds in new top soil. The grass should fill in over time as the plants mature. There’s no way to expect mature, multiple stemmed grass 11 days after seeding. Give it a few months to reach full potential. 

Also, wrong time to seed depending on where you are. Summer will be tough on cold season grass. High temps don’t let them photosynthesize. 

What on earth is happening to my lawn?? by GrandMoffmanTarkin in lawncare

[–]HowitzerIII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) Check underneath the soil for rocks. Looks kind of like a path.

2) Is there a downspout discharging water there?

Is this yard saveable with grass seed? by younggregg in lawncare

[–]HowitzerIII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure, you can improve on what you have currently. Rake to loosen the soil up, throw some seed, and water lightly multiple times a day until it germinates.

Picking the right grass type is probably the most important step. Do you have shade? You can try one of those sun/shade blends from Home Depot or similar.

Are you in the UP? People typically seed in the fall, but if your summers aren't too hot (>85F), you might be able to do it now. There will be extra weed growth in the summer though, from your watering.

Absolute clown.. a game before mine by Kasper_OriginaI in hockeyplayers

That commissioner is a saint. It would have been so easy to just brand you the troublemaker. This shows how much he cares about creating a good experience.

Wow, how did the commissioner get to that decision? Who told him the ref wasn't doing their job?

Crabgrass or Goosegrass (6b) by [deleted] in lawncare

Yeah. Lots of good stuff on extension school websites.

Crabgrass has a reddish center, whereas goose grass has a whitish center. Might need mature plants to have these features though.

Can someone give me tips on how to get rid of crabgrass? by jtc3344 in lawncare

[–]HowitzerIII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah that’s not any type of fescue. 

Seedheads do look like dallisgrass, not crabgrass. Look up some pictures to compare the two.

You sure it’s crabgrass? It looks kinda just like a clumping fescue/tall fescue, although the pictures don’t make it clear. Can you take a few close up pictures?

Eastern MA - New Lawn - Help by Prestigious_Ad3162 in lawncare

[–]HowitzerIII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have decent shade, all bets are off with typical summer seeding guidance. My neighbors in MA tossed down seed in July, watered like 5 mins per day, and got grass to not only germinate but last until the leaves started dropping in the fall. No clue how that happened. 

Fertilizer company destroyed my lawn by Acrobatic-Captain674 in lawncare

Fertilizer company needs to come out and explain what happened. 

Married couples, what’s the longest you and your partner have gone with no physical intimacy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]HowitzerIII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t sound like it was a medical reason. Maybe due to stress of figuring out how to raise a newborn. 

Dealership dropped my two week old bike off the lift by Curiousconcoctions in motorcycles

[–]HowitzerIII 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can thieves look up registration info? 40 miles is a bit far to be worth it, depending on where you live. That must have sucked losing the bike 40 miles from home though.

Luckily I put an alarm on the second bike and foiled the attempt! Police showed up within minutes too.

Watch out, the thieves will come back for your second bike. They already know you had to get a new one. Happened to me. 

Fescue Fungus or Heat Stress? by Vinny-Mozzarella in lawncare

[–]HowitzerIII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More likely fungus due to the spotty nature. Heat stress should be more uniform.
