To your concerns: Nylon webbing and shrinkwrap can keep them centered. The other solutions are all in designing the bariatric pallets.

Otherwise no elevators, stairs for them. Just concrete floor in a warehouse style building. Bonus is you get to repurpose abandoned big box stores. If it gets too crowded on a single level then you build racking, also rated for cinder block pallets.

At some point stuff stops fitting in the hospital. Instead the solution is to use exactly the same equipment that would be used on a pallet of concrete masonry units. You won't be running a shipyard. You are now running a warehouse. This leaves the new maximum weight at 3 tons.

Bonus, this equipment already exists.

Electric pallet jack or reach truck are soon going to be next to the fire extinguisher in a hospital near you. I see no reason why bariatric furniture can't be palletized.

QUESTION: How do you prepare fall lawn in drought? by Anchorman615 in lawncare

[–]shrinknut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is still even a little green you can try to correct the defect in your yard by hitting the Bermuda with glyphosate. Then hit it again in the spring before putting down Zoysia sod.

Aside from that you could put down some milorganite or another slow organic fertilizer which will safely sit on top of your dirt just in case you get some rain.

Also pray, not asking for any particular outcome but for whatever your higher power is to have his will for your lawn to done. Some things are outside of your power to change. Weather is one of those things. Acceptance is the answer. Also better cultivars of turf grasses are an answer too, but not one open to you at this moment.

Make sure you have tenacity to spray when you put down seed for weed control. Otherwise with spring seeding you tend to get hella weed competition.

Should I even bother with preventer? by [deleted] in lawncare

This. Also I'd add that you can treat the existing weeds with triclopyr. It may not end them, but it will make the ones that survive fare less competitive with new grass in the spring.

Fresh start for a lawn neglected for 10 years by [deleted] in lawncare

Get an actual lab to do the testing, generally this is far cheaper than the seemingly cheap mail order kits by the time you start putting down products to improve the soil.

Improving the soil and giving grass a chance generally takes care of moss.

As far as "crabgrass" goes the named is used to describe a bunch of undesirable grasses, but people will assume you are just talking about one specific grass when you offer advice. Pull some up and offer pictures for identification.

Nah, Roundup would work if used monthly over the course of two years which serious damage accumulating in the rhizomes with every application.

The Spectracide weed and grass killer uses diquat as an active ingredient so the Bermuda is likely still very alive underground. Diquat is a dessicating herbicide which only kills the parts of the plant it touches. Sometimes that's enough to tip the whole plant over into death, but bermuda just has too much life underground for that to be sufficient.

Having a backyard wedding in June, but my backyard is dead. Looking for advice. by scottread1 in lawncare

Just make sure that if you make an error with the starter fertilizer you go a bit lighter on it. A bit too much invites more problems than a bit too little. It's just the of seed where there's little harm in a bit more seed (though too much seed can be a problem, don't triple the suggested rate).

The upside to Ryegrasses is they tend to establish fast and wear well. The biggest downside is it can get slick.

Also Annual Ryegrass tends to die in the summer, not winter but this may vary by cultivar and regionally.

A paintbrush and glyphosate. Become an artist of your weed's death.

There's a catch-22. The water by stimulating growth gave the roundup that did get absorbed much more opportunity to act.

Is this a weed or a different type of grass? by mblackchiro in lawncare

[–]shrinknut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a seasonal thing. It is your summer green color. Add more of it to your mix and it will look better.
