    Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application

    I moved into a new construction house 4 years ago during the month of June and had to deal with a newly sodded lawn. I always made sure the lawn received at least 1.5 inches of water each week. I don't have an irrigation system so I tracked rainfall with a rain gauge and supplemented with...

    I'm going to the Masters

    1. I think they say the gates open at 8am - be there at 6 or 6:30. Sometimes they open the gates early, but even if they don't, it's best to be at the front of the line. 2. Right next to the merchandise store is a check stand where you can store you purchases. I wouldn't bring personal...

    2024 Transfer Portal Tracker (Wrestling)

    Jon Reader is a former Cyclone wrestler who won a national championship about 15 years ago. He’s now an assistant coach at Wisconsin under another former Cyclone, Steve Bono. I think the rumor is that Reader is looking to take a head coaching position somewhere else and if he leaves then Hamiti...

    Duals this week (Utah Valley/Pitt)

    Don’t worry. 4,394 for Davidson 14,267 for Iowa Even if no one showed up for the other 4 duals, we’d still be close to top 5 with average attendance of 3,200+. I see official attendance for tonight is 4,151. Again, if no one attended West Virginia, UNI, and Missouri, we’re still at 3,800+...

    Kade Blume

    Moderators- Any chance this thread could be moved to some other forum? This isn't really about wrestling anymore - it's become a debate about criminal justice. Thanks!

    ***#8 Iowa State vs #4 Iowa (Sunday, 2:00)***

    I think they screwed that up. You can see the supporting official tapping the main referee and nothing is or was out of bounds. I doubt it makes a difference, but still scratching my head on that whistle.

    ***#8 Iowa State vs #4 Iowa (Sunday, 2:00)***

    I think if the official lets the match go for one more second, the takedown becomes undeniable

    ***#8 Iowa State vs #4 Iowa (Sunday, 2:00)***

    Why was the match stopped with 1 second?

    Biggest Dumpster Fire

    Here are things that I know about the Jackson situation: 1. Mostly out of the blue, Cael Sanderson and staff (and wrestlers) left for Penn St and ISU Wrestling was left scrambling. 2. There was talk about hiring non-ISU alumni to fill the open coaching positions 3. Kevin didn't want to see that...

    ***2023 Iowa High School Football Playoffs***

    It would probably be like a small college. Great depth at every position and the resources that the district would throw at it would be colossal. I would think they would be near unbeatable. I know you’re just playing “what if” but I think it would be too big for the students to have a positive...

    MLB: Trevor Bauer Exonerated?

    I don't think you are correct with your statement of "The probability that all of the other women are lying is .1%". This is a prior probability/Bayes Theorem situation. If we didn't know that the first woman lied, then, yes, we could calculate that the probability of all three women lying is...

    Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application

    It’s black medic. Use a weed killer that is safe for lawns. I prefer but anything you get at a garden center should do the trick.

    Question for Iowa Birdwatchers

    These pictures are from AllAboutBirds.org Adult Golden Eagle on top, Juvenile Golden Eagle in the middle, and Juvenile Bald Eagle on the bottom. In flight, key is to look for solid colored brown underneath for the adult and small, distinct white patches at the wing base for the juvenile vs...

    Northern Lights 4/23

    This what I could see from a gravel road north of Ankeny. Pretty hard to see anything with the naked eye - probably because of the Ames lights. Wish I had gone further west to avoid the light pollution.

    Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application

    These two spots are along the north side of the house foundation. Things were fine last fall but coming out of the spring and these are dead spots. Is this a disease or something else? Anyone had this experience?

    Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application

    Personally, I would wait until you start seeing the lawn green up a bit. I would be worried about tearing up dormant grass.
