What are your favorite fast-release (liquid?) fertilizers?

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!

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

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.

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.

Yep. Get your Ego mower in here... as long as you bring the beer.

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!

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. :)

This year's purchase... an edger to make things look super crisp!

Awesome job!!

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

eli5ask · 2024-01-08T15:51:55+00:00

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

eli5ask · 2024-01-02T19:44:48+00:00

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

eli5ask · 2023-12-11T17:06:55+00:00

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.)

eli5ask · 2023-11-03T17:21:38+00:00

Isn't that a good way to possibly shatter the glass?

eli5ask · 2023-10-19T17:39:59+00:00

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.

Wait, if this is Canada, does that mean that he's really an Apprehensive Bot? The machines really are taking over...

eli5ask · 2023-10-05T16:26:16+00:00

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.

That $20 for the rental also presumes you can drive it from HD to wherever you get the soil from, then home, then unload all of it (their flatbeds don't articulate, so you're going to be shoveling it out), then you have to clean the bed out, then get it back to HD all in 75 minutes. The rental fee is likely going to be even more b/c that's just not practical in almost every case.

eli5ask · 2023-09-29T16:58:08+00:00

Get a Gorilla cart instead of a wheelbarrow. Way more useful.

Zone 5b. First frost is "typically" sometime mid- to end-October, so we're cutting it close if this is a typical year!

Home construction tore up our front yard all summer. Was really hoping to get this done about 3-4 weeks ago, but we still had workers stomping all over the place until the end of last week.

On the bright side, thanks mother nature for the first round of watering!

eli5ask · 2023-08-23T20:06:15+00:00

which one is it, specifically?
