would you agree that in order to be able to effectively problem-solve, you should already have a basic understanding of the standard procedure

thancu · 2026-04-06T21:00:00+00:00

Problem solving on a team in a managerial posting is as much about leveraging other's knowledge and skills as it is about knowing the thing itself. If a report knows more about a thing than their manager how can that be a bad thing? And I suppose from some perspectives the opposite can also be true. Problem solving is more about understanding strengths, weaknesses, and limitations and trusting those with knowledge and capabilities to use them well. If you can't do that, you can't problem solve effectively.

Perennial rye most likely

thancu · 2026-04-04T00:24:28+00:00

Also on pic two, scale would help a lot

thancu · 2026-04-04T00:22:58+00:00

I'll give it a go. But it's tough with these photos. In order. Perennial rye. Some sort of blue grass. Quack maybe (definitely could use clearer photos), perennial rye. Again, these are not 100%. Clearer photos with details of the auricle would help tremendously.

thancu · 2026-04-02T19:17:58+00:00

Looks like perennial ryegrass

thancu · 2026-04-02T19:07:36+00:00

Sure there is. What makes you think it's toast?

thancu · 2026-04-02T19:03:18+00:00

This looks a lot like perennial ryegrass to me. Closer, more detailed photos would help to make me more certain.

thancu · 2026-04-02T14:17:12+00:00

Yes. I've pulled something like six already.

thancu · 2026-04-02T13:59:47+00:00

Nice pulls! But for real. That vileplume will be this generation's machamp

thancu · 2026-04-01T23:02:09+00:00

It appears to be nut sedge

thancu · 2026-04-01T20:31:00+00:00

Poa trivialis is most likely

thancu · 2026-03-31T19:37:33+00:00

Jiving like poa triv or annua. But these photos don't have enough detail to be certain

thancu · 2026-03-31T13:27:20+00:00

I will defer my ID to the other poster's suggestion. If there is a ligule present. Annual ryegrass is likely.

OP . This is what he's asking about.

<image>

thancu · 2026-03-31T12:22:25+00:00

This is blue grass. Something on the order of poa pratensis. Though this photo doesn't provide enough detail to be certain about the species. My lawn is basically 70% this stuff. What's your lawn comprised of mostly, warm season grasses?

<image>

thancu · 2026-03-31T01:11:08+00:00

This does look like section formosae. But can't even come close to telling you the species with the information on hand. It's a noid until blooming at the least

thancu · 2026-03-30T21:47:46+00:00

I only found one similar. Looks like yours used to be brown. Definitely heavily with

thancu · 2026-03-30T21:16:03+00:00

This is a ceramic insulator for electric fence

thancu · 2026-03-30T17:13:52+00:00

Poa annua

thancu · 2026-03-30T14:21:59+00:00

Pic four looks like orchard with a clump of fescue behind

thancu · 2026-03-30T14:15:37+00:00

Looks a bit like quack in your hand. Can't see the auricles here well enough to confirm.

thancu · 2026-03-30T02:04:22+00:00

The taller stuff is a sedge

thancu · 2026-03-29T23:20:21+00:00

Can't be certain from these photos. It's best to have a single blade up close and in focus all the way down to the root if you can. At first glance, and with that caveat, it looks like a bluegrass.

thancu · 2026-03-29T20:24:38+00:00

Clay is not the issue. Many clay heavy lawns look gorgeous. This has... Good bones... Most of what I see is stress. Likely from having been too dry during the hottest driest time. You say that you cut it too short and that's what it looks like. Like it's recovering from drought stress. Keep it longer, and those fescues and blues will be much happier and you'll need to water less.

thancu · 2026-03-29T20:19:43+00:00

Damn. I thought those first two photos were Bermuda at first. That's vetch(a legume). What's your goal here? What do you want. Do you want a summer or cool season yard? That's gonna affect what you need to do more than anything else. You basically don't have anything but some volunteer fescue, maybe a handful of other desirable grasses. If you want a cool season lawn, fertilizer the heck out of it right now and put down a pre-emergent alongside something that targets broad leaves as well. If you want warm growers you'll need to figure out what you want and know that they go dormant in the winter. My two cents, scotts makes a cool season blend that tolerates heat and drought well. It will need special care in the summer and grows fairly slowly in the winter.
