2021 Yard Thread

Not much action in here as of late!

I did a soil test first part of June and found that pH was high, I had zero nitrogen, p and K were high.

I put down some elemental sulphur and started with liquid fertilizer for Nitrogen, I used Scotts until this last round. I bought some Sunday and put it down.

Yes, just spot spray with a purpose and don’t blanket spray. It’ll be fine. Feed that Bermuda some too.

I put 15-5-10 down about a week ago in the front yard

Edited to add some photos of the weed situation. I hate winter yards for this reason. Weeds show up at every single edge of the sod.

Recap - sod was laid first week or so of December.

Think I'm safe to spray some 2-4D? I'm starting to get concerned that the weeds are going to choke out the bermuda before long

I need to knock another half inch or so off of it, later this week. Trying to get it back down to 2" or less. It may not look like it, but this one area(it wraps around teh back of teh house) is right at 6k square feet and will overfill a 90gal dumpster with clippings.

Stopped by the same nursery I bought the original plants, last year price $22 this year, $70. I think I’ll see how well mine do

Grab tree/shrub fertilizer. It should help them come back

What would Dfwm do? My ligustrums all have fresh growth down by the base of each plant. I planted them last year and they were a little over 1’ tall. Do you keep them since they’ve been established for almost a year and supposed to be fast growing or pull them up and replace them because they were only $22 a plant?

I'm in a similar situation with my indian hawthorne's. One is dead, the other three have good growth down low. They were planted just a few weeks before the storm.

I replaced and moved several of my shrubs due to damage.

I’d replace them. The lower part was insulated by the snow. No telling how long it’ll take for them to come back.

Yeah.....my biggest problem are the weeds. Once a week is good right now. Though, I cut it WAY too low last week.

I picked up some lesco 15-5-10 but I will probably wait a few weeks to put it down.

You can go as low as your mower will allow this time of year no problem 👍🏻

Yeah it’s sucks having new sod for that reason. No preemergent until after the first season.
