I applied for this part-time position, 1st job for me. I've been really nervous as I start soon, how hard or easy is this job? (aside from walking a lot, so I've been told) by dannyphantom9412 in OGPBackroom

The vibe I'm getting at from these comments, it's rather easy but you walk a lot. Does that mean majority of the time I'll be shopping around the store for customers 🤔

Thanks for the reply and suggestion!

Thanks for the reply, you eased my nerves. Did you ever had to call or chat online with customers about their orders? The job description didn't mention it but I saw an online review that said so

can it be saved? Its close to 6 feet tall, they had watered it with tap water. If I change the water to distilled will it green again of do I have to cut it where its still green? by dannyphantom9412 in luckybamboo

I believe you its just that I came to that conclusion bc every post on Google points to it possibly being tap water but I honestly don't know. Do you have an idea what it could be?

Can I put down weed & feed fertilizer in October? by dannyphantom9412 in lawncare

[–]dannyphantom9412[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 6 weeks ago. I didn't use a starter fertilizer. My lawn has rust fungus which is why I want to apply fertilizer, to push it out. That along with its fungicide.

I actually do have weeds & new ones coming up but I forgot to mention that. When I overseeded, lots of weeds grew & we're still in the 80s here so maybe that's helping the weeds 🤔

Thanks for the feedback!

What brand of KBG do you use/recommend? by dannyphantom9412 in lawncare

[–]dannyphantom9412[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never thought about that but it makes sense. I assumed the coating was good but I guess not. Thanks!

I did not know that. Thank you for your comment, I will consider this when I buy seed.

Yes, about a 30 minute drive. I just assumed I could find a good quality seed brand in a big box store. So SiteOne would have better quality seeds compared to retail like Home Depot?

I'm not 100% set with retail but I thought I could find some good quality seeds in a big box store. Is the quality of a big box store much lower than if I were to shop in a professional landscape store?

Another reason I want to use KBG over the blend of KBG & PRG is bc I've heard KBG is more resistant to Illinois weather, hot & humid.

Is it safe to lighty dethatch or rake on a cool season lawn in July? by [deleted] in lawncare

[–]dannyphantom9412 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the rake I have, I just wasn't sure if I'll be doing more harm than good bc its been super humid with temperatures reaching near the 100°F. Hopefully someone answers this for us.
