great looking lawn otherwise!

 

Hey, you’re not alone. Sounds like some guys here in Augusta had a similar problem. Maybe you can copy their formula for repair 😳. Story is at the 4 min mark.

 

moment of silence

 

On a positive note that turf looks more level than a pool table

 

Oh man, sorry to hear. What happened? Broken hose? Any idea how old they were? Still havent been able to use my restored 2500a triplex. The one thing I havent replaced are the hoses. They look to be in good shape with no cracking.

 

It just split out of the blue. They didn't look that old so I'm wondering if I damaged it during my recent removal of the cutting units for grinding.

 

Spit out of the blue? eh?

 

Day 4: Nothing but a little extra water so far. Other than the small heavy spot on the right, I think it will easily recover. I’ll probably put a couple of plugs in that spot if it dies all the way to the ground.

 

10 day update: Most of the dying has happened and I’m already seeing some recovery in the lighter areas. The puddle spot is going to require a few plugs. We got some much needed rain today. Disregard my ugly beds. I’m in the process of redoing them but I keep having to do out-of-town trips.

 

not bad, you got lucky

 

Almost 3 weeks and it’s all pretty much fully recovered except for the puddle spot. I’m doing a HOC reset today so I took a before and after shot.

What is your maintenance hoc and then the reset hoc in the bottom?

 

My maintenance is 3/8”. I just reset to 1/4” and will bump the maintenance up to 1/2” for the Tifway 419. In the past, I’ve been able to reset at 1/4” and still maintain at 3/8” but I think the 419 does better around 1/2” to 3/4”. We’ll see…

 

I bumped my hoc on the celebration to 0.75 this week. I got off my pgr due to no rain and life. I had it at 0.5 in the spring. I’m getting tiftuf at our new build.

 

@Redtwin How is your Empire doing and what is your HOC? Mine's at 11/16ths with the Rolux at is looking pretty sweet. So far this year I have applied about a pound of N and a pound of K from AMS and SOP. All liquid, no more granular for me. The sulfur is helping a lot. I was very deficient according to my soil tests this year.

 

@Monocot Master The Empire is rocking! I'm overdue for a cut so I have some seed heads popping up. I'm not too stressed though since I know Empire can handle the missed mow.

 

I dug out a little soil and plugged the puddle area. The rest is still a little thin but basically fully recovered.
