8/19 - SEED DAY!
The weather is looking almost perfect here over the next 7 days so I took an impromptu half day off work and got my seed down this afternoon. It was a little windy so spreading seed was a bit sportier than I would have liked. But hey, if you wait until the timing is perfect then you'll never get it done. My process was:
Rake (tines down to create channels and break up top layer that was compacted)
Seed (4lb/k KBG and 1lb/KG PRG)
Rake in opposite direction (used back of rake to lightly move dirt back over seed)
Roll
Spray (Tenacity @ 0.5tsp/k, Azoxy @ 0.4oz/k, and RGS @ 3oz/k)
Spread peat moss
Water in
My watering is currently set for 4min/zone at 5,8,11,2,5,8. I am running HEVAN heads with somewhat small zones so I can put water down pretty quick.
Dahlias opened up today too and looking awesome, hopefully a sign of good luck!
