OK I'm tired of mowing. Every time I mow the grass is too tall clumps I have to mow two or three times around the yard it's exhausting. I feel like I have a life I should be living otherwise. Which is funny because I always say I love mowing calms my mind and I can't wait to get home and mow, which also is true.

My lawn is thick enough and I'm happy with it so I think I'm ready for PGR. Is that correct?

Again, if there's a thread let me know. But if not maybe this could be it… I don't know.

So here's my question, where do you get it, how much you apply, how much does it cost, is it harmful to pets, is it harmful to bees, how often do I apply it, is it granular or liquid, if it's liquid can I apply it with other apps like fungicide, insecticide, or humic acid?

TL;Dr;

Foliar application every 2-3weeks. Use between 0.6-1oz per ksqft. Pretty safe. A gallon is ~$150. I don't mix it with other stuff. It does increase the risk of fungus issues.

It does increase the risk of root fungus issues.

you mean PGR increases root fungus issues? or the mixing with other stuff?

I ask because I recently saw this in my yard and am certain it is fungal

I should not type stuff in bed half asleep, the word root should not be there. I think I meant not root.

The fungus problem comes from the leaf growing slower. It good and bad. Some PGRs have some fungicide effects to them. T-nex doesn't. With the leafs growing slower, any fungus could sit longer in the leafs before being mowed. It also slows down recovery. On the flip side, any foliar fungicide you do apply will sit longer in the leafs, so it protects for a longer duration than without PGR.

I used 1oz per 1k. Think you can go 2oz but may get a lot of yellowing.
