Today is Day 26.
I'm getting a few tiny seed heads ever 36-48 hours.
Oh, and what about Sedgehammer too? Hold off?
re: What are your best performing Dividend Stocks in your portfolio?

JEPQ just announced a monster divy of .597 per share for May.
It appears that increased volatility yields higher dividends. That’ll buy me nearly 3 more shares.

That Zoysia looks like a lazy teenager. Slow to wake up.

I think people really like the Luba. And when I say people I mean the folks that I see use them on The Lawn Forum.
As for me, I enjoy the task too much.

I didn’t think about sodding partially and harvesting my own sprigs. Sounds interesting I will check it out. Thanks!

Gotcha!
Others have sodded a portion of their property, verticut the following year, and used the sprigs from the verticut to sprig another section.
quote:I’ve read many sprigging journals from your neck of the woods. Many will buy about 1/3 of the sod they need, tear it up, and sprig with that.
Would love to try sprigging but couldn’t find anywhere to buy sprigs in South Carolina.

quote:So is it pennywort or dichondra?
I have dollarweed (or at least its cousin) in big patches on my yard. Best remedy? I have Clegg's cocktail ingredients.
Dollarweed (pennywort) usually indicates an area that stays too wet.
After you treat it, you may want to level.
Do you have St. Aug? Are you mowing high enough?
I would try Atrazine (Clegg's Cocktail) with the cooler temps, and then hit it again in 3-4 weeks with MSM Turf.
Make sure not to mow before or after application for at least 2 days.

Is it too hot for Clegg's cocktail?

quote:Got it at our old house and kind of regretted it. It makes it hard for anyone to do work on your house, especially, electricians. It's really not the best idea for older homes, though I can see it having a place in new construction.
Does anyone here have knowledge/experience using the spray foam? What are your thoughts?
Go with the tried and true. Nothing wrong with blown in.

quote:What does dormancy mean in this situation?
so they recommended a 15-0-15 fertilizer when coming out of dormancy
I would use something like this pictured below. Soil test be damned.
I would also apply RGS to the soil before you seed.
I've done these things for my sod and it is super strong early on.
Why seed over sod or sprigging?
