Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application
Can you wait until Sept. 1st to seed? Do you have irrigation? If you have at least 50% grass, I'd take great care of it through the summer, including fertilizer, pre-emergent etc. and wait until September 1st to seed. -

Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application
5-day average soil temp is just 44 degrees in Omaha. Still early. Wait until it's into the 50's -

Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application
Any brand of pre-emergent is fine for the most part including store brands. Look for prodiamine or dithiopyr as the active ingredient. Both work well. There are a couple of other relatively common pre-emergents but stick with prodiamine or dithiopry. Almost all pre-emergent sold at big box... -

Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application
I like Milorganite but it is super expensive now that it got super popular, when you compare the nitrogen content to synthetic fertilizers. Keep in mind that the typical analysis on milorganite is like 6-4-0. That means you're lawn can eventually build up too much phosphorus over the course of... -

Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application
That Pennington Pro Care is exactly what you're looking for. Sometimes people do split applications, once in April and then a second in June. If you do the split application, you'll need to read the label and stay under the yearly max rate. Also, the June application can sometimes interfere... -

Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application
It's a good goal to use the least amount possible. I haven't needed pre-emergent in the front yard in a couple years and most of my fertilizer is sourced from chicken manure these days. I don't generally recommend weed n feed products either unless specific conditions are met. There is a... -

Too early and irresponsible. Waste of chemical and fertilizer. -

Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application
This is 4 inches deep. Syngenta has a website that has surface temps. No need to put down pre-emergent herbicide until daily surface soil temps average 55 degrees. -

Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application
Yes, but you'll need to go to a lawn and landscape supply store or order the powder concentrate and apply as a liquid. The granular type has an analysis of 0-0-7 , so it still contains potassium but no nitrogen. Active ingredient is typically prodiamine (barricade). -

Do you have high levels of belly fat? I'm not a doctor, but honestly if that's true that's the first place to start. It's not a pill or quick fix, but can have dramatic impact on testosterone levels. Adequate sleep and lowering stress and thereby cortisol levels are my next recommendations... -

It's not necessary to train at all to build muscle, as studies using exogenous testosterone have shown it to be extremely effective for muscle gain on it's own when raised above natural levels. Low testosterone men generally gain muscle mass as well when levels are raised. It hasn't been... -

Star Wars episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker
I think the problem with this part of the story is that it's just presented in an abrupt way and we're just supposed to accept it. This part of the story needed to be set up over the first two films to some degree. It rings hollow. -

Star Wars episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker
I get where you are coming from and don't disagree for the most part. Everything should have been better. A coherent story and significant character development are absent. What I'm saying is that the Rise of Skywalker had so little usable framework from 7 and 8, that I didn't expect even a... -

Star Wars episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker
Let me preface this by saying I hated The Last Jedi. Episode 7 and 8 were mostly devoid of character development, resemblance of a unique plot in episode 7, and I think 8 tried to take a dump on Star Wars. I give JJ credit for polishing a turd in 9. It was forced and rushed in plot because it... -

*** Official #23 IOWA STATE VS Kansas State Game(Day) Thread ***
Either the perceived level of talent is not what we collectively believe or this team underachieved. I honestly think with this senior laden offensive line, this was a disappointing season. We didn't "prove it". Special teams are deficient in strategy and our highly ranked kicker can't even...
