What fertilizer do you all use on your Japanese maples? Any specific instruction on how to make them grow bigger sooner?

How long until you can top dress it?

LED strips around outside steps

Posted by avidday on 5/20/24 at 7:22 pm

The house has two larger steps leading to the front door. I’m looking for a glow-like effect from underneath the treads.

I want to make sure I can dim them a lot, until I get the desired effect. Do I just need to get waterproof LEDs that say “dimmable” and a controller that includes a dimming option? Or is there something in particular I should be looking out for? There’s a ton of options out there.

Also where do you buy your LED supplies online?

Developer for Computer Program Idea?

Posted by avidday on 11/10/23 at 7:23 am

I'd like to hire someone to develop a computer program that I think would streamline some mundane day-to-day tasks in my job. Any suggestions?

Basically the program idea is to create a databank of contacts/information, have the bank searchable/clickable, and then the program integrates the selected data into an existing PDF form, as well as pump out some other form documents based on the information selected. There are a few more intricacies involved than that, but nothing too extravagant.

Does Mr maple ship? Or did you all go to NC to pick them up?

Wooded property with water. Too many snakes. Do you all know of any products that work well to deter/repel the snakes?

Anyone here taken the exam? Did you buy the books? Where can I find practice tests? Suggestions on how to prepare?

re: Centipede Lawn Schedule

Posted by avidday on 6/3/20 at 5:10 pm

So if I spread 15-0-15 in Marchish (when everyone on the board told us to do so), when should I apply again? And what’s the difference between milo and 15-0-15, and which is better?

re: Centipede Lawn Schedule

Posted by avidday on 6/3/20 at 8:01 am

And I’ve seen people ask for this in other threads. But never found a good enough schedule other than “centipede is easy, just do 15-0-15 in February and later in the year”

Centipede Lawn Schedule

Posted by avidday on 6/3/20 at 8:00 am

The Randy Lemmon lawn care schedule seems pretty straightforward for the grass novices on this board. But my yard is centipede. Does anyone have a similar straightforward by month breakdown of what I need to do for centipede, including herbicide, etc.?

Second question: I fertilized with 15-0-15 earlier in the yard. But now everyone is talking about Milorganite these days. Is this an interim fertilization? When/why is it needed?

Talstar P - Repellent?

Posted by avidday on 6/2/20 at 7:27 am

I ordered some Talstar P from Amazon after reading a bunch of threads on here about it. I sprayed a healthy layer on pretty much everything, including my house's siding. It repelled all the mosquitoes for that night, but, by the next morning, I had a bunch of mosquitoes right back resting on my siding by the back door.

Talstar P had so many good reviews on here and on the Internet. Questions are: Does it act as a repellent or does it just kill the mosquitoes on contact? Should I purchase another chemical to spray also to act as a repellent? Do I just need to keep applying until I get the mosquito population under better control? Are my expectations too high because we live in South LA and will always have mosquitoes? Is there a stronger product than Talstar P?

Speakers for Expanded Patio

Posted by avidday on 4/19/20 at 7:23 am

I have an old school receiver with wired speakers in the existing outdoor area. I have since expanded to build an outdoor kitchen and add a TV. I’d also like to put a speaker in the corner of the yard by the play set. This play set speaker would need to be wireless but there’s a power outlet over there.

So what would you suggest? SONOS connect with SONOS speakers?

I bought a small swivel tv mount with extender arm and then attached an Air King to it. Works great.

re: Sunday Lawn Care

Posted by avidday on 4/15/19 at 6:48 pm

It said my lawn was over 7500 and then I asked for a resize/requote. It came back with a red line around my yard from the satellite image and it ended up a lot less than 7500.

And no I haven’t received mine yet

Need a video of Les Miles saying "The Want"

Posted by avidday on 4/3/19 at 1:30 pm

It's for a presentation. I've been watching random Les Miles clips for a half-hour trying to find a good soundbite. You'd think it would have been easier than it has been. Help with a link?

Weed Killer murdered my grass

Posted by avidday on 3/31/19 at 11:23 am

Had a bunch of clovers in my front yard. So I got one of those weed killers that hooks up to your hose. It said that it was safe with centipede grass but now I have big dead brown patches. What to do?
