    I saw some crabgrass popping up in the yard the other day, and didn’t have time to hit it. Now I’m away for the weekend and I’m afraid to see what it’s going to look like when I get home Monday.

    Ortho makes a nutsedge killer. Only thing I know of that will control it.

    My neighbor just seeded a patch of lawn last year and it’s all nutsedge. He overwatered. I don’t think he realizes it’s all nutsedge. I don’t have the heart to tell him.

    Friends....

    There is a MILORGANITE shortage out there right now. Last year a bag was 8 bucks not it’s up to 13 if you can find it. Stock up on the goods.

    I don’t know it kind of looks like it. All this stuff pops up from the seedlings of trees. Maybe it’s a red maple.

    I got lots of clover and crabgrass in my lawn now. I have been so busy, I haven't been able to properly maintain it.

    But I got a question MickeyGooch. Is it time to lower the wheels on my lawn mower and get a closer cut?

    No, never lower it during the summer. Between 2.5 and 4 inches is fine.

    Cool season grasses thrive during spring and fall.

    I'm watching Alaskan Dooch on tv right now. Far more entertaining than rust belt Dooch.

    lowered the wheels on the ol’ mower and the lawn looks nice short. I got a bunch of clover and some fall weeds coming through and I don’t give a fuck. I’ll fix the lawn in the spring.

    No hit it with a spot spray, it can be very effective this Time of year.

    And put some milorganite down around mid November. It’ll give the lawn a nice boost come spring.

    Nick Cooch, your thoughts on a new product out called Slow Mow? It’s being marketed as a “lawn conditioner”. Basically it slows the growth of your lawn so you don’t have to mow it as much.

    I’ve heard of that product for certain shrubs like barberry and privets. They grow like crazy.

    I enjoy mowing the lawn, so I would never want to slow it. But if I had a privet hedge I’d rip it out. I had a barberry that I pulled out. Ugly bushes, constant maintenance.
