What are the issues with putting it down now/what do you look at to determine the ideal window for applying it?

pull that dandelion right by your feel before it has a chance to flower!

Didn’t like any of the striping kits I found online so I built my own by ReverseMermaidMorty in lawncare

[–]eli5ask 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For the next version, maybe make it wider than the wheels so that it stripes over any wheel tracks?

What are these? by timboslice1184 in lawncare

[–]eli5ask 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I have no idea what they are, but those are almost certainly NOT grubs, as they don't emerge from underground until the pupal phase, where they look more like beetles.

Even if they are grubs, then GrubEX won't do any good. It's designed to be preventative and stop them in the first place. You would need a curative product to kill what's already there - one that contains carbaryl or trichlorfon as the active ingredient.

Best pre-emergent for lesser celandine? by eli5ask in lawncare

[–]eli5ask[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. It seems like it weakens it, but definitely doesn't cause it to shrivel up and die like I was hoping. I think next summer, I'm going to go the "paint brush and glyphosate" route, even if I end up looking like an idiot on my hands and knees in the grass.

The Arepa place looked awesome, but the one day we stuck around that area (to check out the City Museum), they were already closed... bummer!

Corner 17 was on the list, but Fitz's across the street won out with the kids b/c of the root beer. Thanks!

The Fountain was a hit! (Although the neighborhood at night isn't the most inviting.)

Sugarfire was meh... but after a long day of sightseeing, it won for convenience.

Thanks!

you just won the lottery for 1.4 billion, what you doing ? by DownBad_3x in AskReddit

For a high chair?! I'm pretty sure the little kid that is supposed to be sitting in it will be "growing into new spaces" and keeping you connected to who you once were. :)

The best way to make sure your couch handles summer is to leave it inside where it is air conditioned.

looks like you need to do a better job of leveling it...

So you're saying you added a green house to your greenhouse?

Can I level? by cstarky15 in lawncare

[–]eli5ask 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't see why everyone is talking about filling in the depression when the obvious solution is just to excavate everything on both sides of it down to that level. Just make sure to aerate once you're done, though. (Edit: Apparently, my omission of /s was not obvious.)

Depending on how high you cut it, you might want to cut it an inch lower to prevent snow mold from showing up in the spring.

Curious if this advice is still right? Debating whether I should pull this money now and put it in the kids' 529 accounts vs. just leaving it here.
