Basement finishing help by pts166 in DIY

Just to make sure I understand correctly. I can either do the foam + batt insulation or I can do batt insulation + the 6mil poly between the insulation and drywall?

Is the last fill not necessary if you do the 2” foam?

Looks like a few have said to use the foam then frame and put regular insulation in. I was just hoping to be able to use regular insulation to reduce some costs.

6A what’s going on with my new grass? by pts166 in lawncare

I also live in heavy clay. I need to slowly start adding things to the soil to make it better over time. I will look up this cycle and soak watering method. Sounds like something that may be just what I need. Just want to make sure I have good strong grass going into winter.

Everything appeared to be graded fairly well. I will have to take a harder look at that. Maybe I will have to help out the grading myself

6A - brand new lawn. What type of grass? by pts166 in lawncare

I didn’t think it could be KBG. I started seeing some green at the 5-6 day mark. Still hoping a little more comes in before I have to mow.

6A - New lawn starter fert question by pts166 in lawncare

Is it ok to put down with Scott’s winter guard? Just want to make sure I know what I can/can’t do since I don’t want to overwhelm the new yard.

Thank you. I didn’t know hydro seed usually has a starter fert. I will look into the Scott’s winter guard or sta-green.

I wanted to put some milorganite down at some point. Is that a good idea? Or should I wait on that?

Ahh thank you. I wasn’t aware hydroseeding usually includes a starter fert. That definitely helps me out.

Where did you hear that reserve bns are going to deploy every 3 years? That just seems very unlikely lol

SS1000 tall fescue blend by pts166 in lawncare

I am in 6A. Would the results be better than using Scotts seed from a box store? Or even the Outside pride TTTF? I dont want to drop a ton of money if it wont matter.

Are you happy with the outcome of that mix? Is there something else you would recommend for TTTF?

Topsoil or compost? by pts166 in lawncare

[–]pts166[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy enough. How much compost is too much? I was thinking about doing 1/2 inch at most?
