very nice. I have Mazama and Midnight monstands in my front and a mix of the two in my back. The Mazama is in the part of my front that only gets morning and evening sun. Just ordered and Allett 43B and the scarifier, coming in June

First cut and it felt so good.

Close-up on "yellowest areas"



"worst" overhead shot of areas that look concern from far away:



The areas that had the greatest overcrowding from washout last year are showing the yellow/dull colors on the lawn. I'm attributing that to many plants competing for limited nutrients. I believe the strongest will survive there and that color should catch-up. Interested what the regulars think about those areas. I shouldn't have fungus pressure right now. @g-man

Lots of green in the overhead shot - don't think any worries there either.

Let me know what you guys think!

This looks great! I had the same issue with the washout areas you are seeing. In the end, I gave them a light raking plus plenty of N. Nature sorted it all out.

yeah I think KBG is known for a lot of "melting out". Gotta turf rake it regularly and it'll get the yellow out.

Good callout. I plan on running the turf rake at least once a month. The great thing about the cartridges is the ease of use.

Threw down 100 #'s of Mag Turf Pro (Limestone).

Hello Blue!

 

[bf7]

Nice! Talk about a 180...

It's begging for some fresh stripes!

 

[shadowlawnjutsu]

Nice green up, show us some fresh stripes! The weather is starting to get a lot better here in our area now. It's gonna keep us busy in the next few weeks.

 

[SumBeach35]

Looking good. Cant wait to see the progress you make this spring

 

[fairwaysupreme]

@JerseyGreens How are you buddy? Got any more pics for us?

 

[psider25]

@JerseyGreens how's it going? How did your heavy seeded spots from the washouts turn out? Mine ended up very crowded and those spots are now petty yellow compared to other parts of lawn. Wondering if there's anything to be done.
Your 4.14 pic looks awesome!

Going well thanks - good to hear from you!

The heavy overcrowded areas have yellowing issues as it has mature plants mixed with young ones that never had a chance. It's working that process out in a few areas. The mature ones should win out over time getting rid of that yellow.

 

[briansemerick]

for those areas, I would power rake. Any wimpy grass will be pulled out.

 

[JerseyGreens]

Getting better. 3/4 inch. Sharp cut.



Tried the criss cross but no luck. I need to burn in the longer/wider ones first.

 

[shadowlawnjutsu]

Looking good buddy! You should have continued the criss cross. You think all areas are actively growing and greening up now? I still have some slow and thin areas. It looks like it's still sleeping.

I should have kept going but said I'll do it in 2-3 days. All areas are actively growing. Some are slower but still growing now for sure.

 

[SumBeach35]

Looks good, will only keep getting better!

 

[bf7]

Definitely getting greener. Still early. How much N have you given the little guys so far?
