Hello all,
First post here, but I have been reading the forums for a few days now and learnt so much from all of you. Thank you!
Two weeks ago I laid down 3000sqft of Zeon Zoysia. I have been watering it twice a day since install, and I have done an application of RGS and Air8.
My soil is clay, and not great. But before the sod was laid it was churned up by a Dingo and some "soil booster dirt" was tilled in. At that time I also added some mag-i-cal to address a PH issue. I did roll it afterwards, but not enough because it is still pretty bumpy. My goal is to keep it alive this year, and bring in the sand next year.
Overall it looks pretty green. Pictures to follow. Last Friday (four days ago) I had another 500sqft delivered. I used this to fill in gaps around bedding, etc. That stuff looks pretty rough right now - but I am hitting it with plenty of water.
I am expecting the local water company to be sending me a Christmas Card.
Is it okay if I use this thread as a sort of journal, and not just to ask specific questions? I am not sure of the etiquette of doing that here. It is okay, if not.
I do have a specific question that I would love some help with....
In another Zeon Zoysia thread a farm that helped to develop Zeon suggested hitting recently laid sod with the highest N fert possible. I have two bags of Sunniland in the garage (and two bags of milo). Should I throw either down? My initial plan was to wait until each section is a month old and then add fert.
Temperature wise, it has been a bit up and down here lately. Later this week though we are likely to hit 90, and I would not be surprised if the majority of the coming days are in the 80s.
Thanks all,
Midfielder (John)
