In Austin. We are done with freezing. Pretty much high in the 60's and 70's and lows in mid 30's and 40's.
When I scalp, is that the time I level or let it green up more first?

Ill put out a pre e this week.Ware said:I would wait until the lawn really starts to take off - which will help prevent erosion from spring rains.Suaverc118 said:When I scalp, is that the time I level or let it green up more first?
Me too!Mightyquinn said:I don't have a whole lot of green right not in the lawn since we keep having all these cold snaps with low's in the 20's but the forecast is starting to look better as we have high's in the 50's and 60's for the next 7-10 days. I'm really itching to get out and get this season started.
So you're saying I can wait until the rain stops to spray it correct?Mightyquinn said:I think you have plenty of time, if you are really worried about it, you can take a meat thermometer and stick it in the ground to see what the temp is.Suaverc118 said:About to get some rain and haven't purchased my 5lb Prodiamine. Can I still apply it? If I order it it will be in by Thursday.
I mowed it at the lowest notch setting on my Honda rotary. Do you think i should start mowing at the next notch(1.25")now or keep hitting the lowest, but leave those stolens alone now?Colonel K0rn said:I'd say that you should let nature do it's thing right now. You did a verticut on it last year, and already have a lot more greenup than I currently have (if you don't count the poa). I see dirt where the stolons were removed, and the top-growth has been removed. I'd say to just watch it grow for the next week, and when the temps move up, put down an app of fert, and watch it take off.
I believe at 1 lb N per 1000 sq ft I believe. I just verticut it really good and it was suggested to use 15-15-15.Mightyquinn said:At what rate?Suaverc118 said:I applied a 15-15-15 mid September last year.
Thank you MQ.Mightyquinn said:I wouldn't put down the 15-15-15 this year then and just go with the 21-2-11.Suaverc118 said:I believe at 1 lb N per 1000 sq ft I believe. I just verticut it really good and it was suggested to use 15-15-15.Mightyquinn said:At what rate?
Poor guyJ_nick said:Down on my hands and knees I can see a bit of green trying to show itself. We still have a night or 2 that might drop below freezing.

I believe I applied fert first week of November. We had a late freeze this past yearWare said:4-6 weeks before the first expected frost should be your last fertilizer app of the year.Suaverc118 said:...I wonder if the Lesco winterizer has really made this green up so quick this year...
