Sound money. Lol. What is a bitcoin? It's the answer to a digital math problem, cryptographically locked up with a password, of which their is a total set of 21,000,000. Nothing about that is money. The analog equivalent is a 4th grade teacher assigning a set of math problems to her class... -

I mean if you really think you know which tokens are the 1% that remakes the current world monetary system, go ahead. There are people sitting in Davos, at the BIS, IMF, and they know. -

What's growing? The garden thread.
We have our next failure. This 3 days of 90's has triggered my broccoli to bolt. Probably a complete loss. I picked some really cheap seed at the hardware store in February ( last year's leftovers) and I guess it's just not a good variety for my area. Here's a tip that I give in the... -

What's growing? The garden thread.
KC suburbs. Some plants can easily handle frosts. Radishes, onions, turnip, broccoli etc. went in like early to mid April and were started inside. I don't use plastic tunnels but do cover some stuff if it gets below 30 degrees. Asparagus started coming up mid April. Average last frost is... -

What's growing? The garden thread.
Very cool to see this thread still going. My garden about doubled in size again and I'm going to try harder to succession plant with probably green beans this year to keep it in production all season. I'm trying to avoid buying any plants and started all my plants from seed in my basement. I... -

Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application
Buy a greenworks or similar electric dethather/power rake off Amazon. Rake it out, mow or pick up the debris, and then hit it with a good starter fertilizer. Water it in and wait a week, and your lawn will look 1000x better. -

Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application
This is made from like spent grain, and other non chemical based sources of nitrogen. It's referred to as "ringer". It's very very expensive for the amount of plant nutrition is provides. It's not fast acting. If you want to go the non-chemical route, go buy bags of alfalfa pellets from your... -

Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application
Springlawncare and seeding notes: Can you put down grass seed now? Probably, but if it germinates and then we get a freeze it will likely die. If Spring seeding, I tend to put it out around the time of my average last frost date. For my zip code that's April 14th. Lot's of online websites... -

Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application
Let's talk Milorganite or as the industry generally terms them "bio-solids". I like organic type fertilizer, but my biggest problem with Milorganite is the cost. It's literally one of the most expensive sources of nitrogen you can buy when calculating pounds of Nitrogen per 1,000 sq/ft. Also... -

Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application
Please go pull up my post history from previous lawn care threads to understand my level of expertise on this subject. I literally have turf grass textbooks in my office. We ain't planting corn or beans here. Of course you look at the average temp and not the "surface soil temp". Crabgrass... -

Syngenta Green Cast website. 0-10cm soil temp. Iastate one is at 4 inches. Crabgrass isn't germinating at 4 inches. It's germinating at the soil surface or just below. -

Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application
Way early folks. Don't need to put down pre-emergent herbicide until average soil temp is 55 degrees. Currently: Des Moines, Iowa Current Soil Temperature : 53° 24-Hour Average : 42.3° 5 Day Average : 38.2° -

Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application
When temps warm consistently into the mid 60's or 70's during the day and the weeds are actively growinguickly. Herbicides work best when the plant is actively growing. -

Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application
No. The commercial guys have more things to worry about than just perfect timing. They have many lawns to get done and have to get that done in weather windows. It's still early and you're wasting product efficacy by throwing down this early. Throwing down this early makes it much more... -

Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application
Maybe but not with great results. The pre-emergent hurts baby grass. If you try it, use dithiopyr as the active ingredient as you can wait a little longer into the Spring before applying it. Be prepared for sub-optimal results and possible killing of your new grass. The summer kills most... -
