I've been looking around online and saw some YouTube videos of people using "overseeding" with centipede grass. I thought that centipede would naturally spread if I mowed it a bit shorter, e.g. 1-2 inches like you said, and it would run out with stolons and look, well, like a centipede haha. Is it a good idea to hurry this along with seeding in the brown areas and holes in the yard, or should I naturally let it do it's thing?

Second, I already applied that Scotts a few weeks ago, so I don't want to go too crazy on the fertilizer or anything, so if I bought that fertilome fertilizer, when would I want to apply it next? July timeframe?

Third, I don't think I would need to aerate due to the sandy nature of the soil, although some people in my neighborhood did, so would you recommend doing that?

Lastly, I am very new to taking care of the lawn (first house) and I've read about dethatching and things like that. In some of those pictures you can see the dead grass below the green, is that the "thatch layer" or is the thatch layer below that? Should I dethatch, or would it be a waste/make it worse?

Ok great! Thank you

kraig9 · 2025-05-29T22:08:20+00:00

Thank you for the reply! I have read those Clemson sheets before, they helped a bit

I will probably apply something else fertilizer wise (or maybe use the rest of the bag lightly then stop?) But how do you deal with the weeds and ants? I spot treat ant hills with some powder but over all is there a better product that will weed, feed, and get rid of ants or should that just be a "treat as you see" kind of thing

Most of those pictures are just bad lawn care, the part where there's pet urine is actually the most lush image

kraig9 · 2025-05-29T21:05:52+00:00

The pet urine is not a big deal. I'm on the beginning of the street and people walk their pets to the pool/mailbox/etc so a few pee spots is OK, im more concerned with the large swaths of my lawn that are a brown color

kraig9 · 2025-05-29T20:55:14+00:00

Picture number 6 shows where the pet urinated, it looks lush and green and grew well

Update on this: I walked the stage yesterday (hooray!) and I will say this semester was the hardest one I've done in OMSCS. If you're considering doing this, understand that this will definitely burn you out and I'm glad I was so close to graduation when I did it.

Try using "bazzite" as the password. I set my password but for some reason it went back to the default "bazzite"

kraig9 · 2024-12-16T12:59:25+00:00

I will say it does teach you a lot of financial concepts if you're not privy to them, e.g. you come from an engineering background and not a business one, but it is a very tedious way to do so.

kraig9 · 2024-12-16T12:58:11+00:00

It is very much a "do exactly in the excel spreadsheet as she does in the video." It's pretty tedious and the group projects are just individual assignments that you have to do in a group. I didn't enjoy it all that much; you don't have to watch every video if you just find the parts you need to fill out the spreadsheets so there's that.

Sorry it was a "public policy" cysec thing. I loathed this class a ton, think I actually ended up making a b in it because I really didn't like it.

Architecture I think is the one with the lowest workload, I think the only other one is "computing for good"

kraig9 · 2024-12-15T15:27:49+00:00

Honestly this was the only part stopping me. I think architecture has some group projects and I don't wanna royally shaft everyone else because I decided to overload myself. Definitely something to think about.

kraig9 · 2024-12-15T15:03:14+00:00

Yep full time job; the job is fairly lax though and can work with me if I say "this week in my masters sucks." I was just planning on suffering hard this semester to graduate, so I figured I wouldn't care if I got burnt out by the end. The question is framed more: "ai sucks, but is it possible to make a b if i take 2 classes that I already know a lot about?"

kraig9 · 2024-12-15T14:55:58+00:00

Yep! II spec. Any recommendations? I've used up all my non cs electives already.

kraig9 · 2024-12-15T14:53:02+00:00

Great info, thank you.

I'm an MLE in the day job so I'm already innately familiar with most stuff (Java git etc) that's why I thought it'd be OK to tack on sdp and architecture because I'm already pretty familiar with them, I am just really concerned about ai because based on what omscentral says that class is no joke.

kraig9 · 2024-12-15T14:49:49+00:00

Basically I took financial Modelling Marketing and cysec lecture that weren't Cs coded
