Will have to check this one out. 

You might have this one already, but someone on here recommended Urvashi Pitre’s Instant Pot book for Indian cooking on here and I LOVE the book.

VMware P2V migration. Fun stuff.

Lots of emails, phone calls, and learning.  Setting up a new back end for my wife's business, all while ensuring the current production is not impacted.

Her team is getting used to accountability and more structure.  They are not big fans yet.  However, my wife is.  It has already impacted her work flow in a positive way.

You would think it judging by the amount of circle jerking im dealing with. Have to send certified letter canceling the auto renewal 90 days prior. I sent it at 120…..we never got it. Ma’am, I have your signature on the receipt. Uhhhhhhhhhhh

Nothing like flipping the script on 'em.  In all the bull$hit you can get some small bit of satisfaction right there.

Very happy with my lawn thus far, but I’m seeing where the pre-emergents would have been helpful. I’m building it into my schedule for next year. Seems like I’d apply in mid-March or so, before the soil temps hit 55F. Seems like this is one of the more prevalent offerings here.

@GrateEggspectations yes a PreM would be very helpful with the weeds. I would think you may want to start in the fall but I don’t know that for sure. Maybe winter weeds aren’t an issue since you spend most of winter covered in snow. 

I can’t see what the AI is in that product you posted but I’m hesitant to recommend any type of fertilizer with a PreM. It’s just not very effective. If there is any chance you could spray a PreM I believe you would be much happier with the results. But if the granular is the only feasible option then I’m sure it’s better than nothing. 

Also, I’d say get the PreM down before the soil temps surpass 50°. Some seeds germinate in the low 50’s so that may be a touch late if you wait until 55°. 

BTW, what type of grass do you have? Fescue, Kentucky blue?

Ozzie_Isaac

I get my rocks sprayed every 3 months with a pre emergent.  Commercial company is more cost effective than me buying and spraying myself.  Don't know how they do it, but I am glad they do.

$100 for about 25,000 sq.ft.

That was a concern of mine as well, as I worry the fertilizer component may be at odds with my schedule, unless I time it just right. The product is here: https://www.lowes.ca/product/lawn-fertilizer/scotts-turf-builder-weed-prevent-corn-gluten-meal-10-0-0-138761?store_code=3708&cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=11543255263&cq_con=111377415086&cq_term=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=g&cq_pos=&cq_plt=gp&&cm_mmc=paid_search-_-google-_-shopping_aw_lia_generic_storage-_-71700000075235897&gbraid=0AAAAADiPpoIYzZTHGQNiqCN9v-soHJqk5&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgab7h8eg_wIVkqjICh3VFA5MEAQYASABEgIkVfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds The bag suggests a fall application in addition to spring. 

Thanks for the tip re: 50F. My Thermapen will find yet another use.

Not sure if sprays are allowed here, as we have a lot of restrictions on our lawn care products. 

According to Google, I have cool grasses that are probably bluegrass, bent grass, ryegrass and/or fescuegrasses.

@GrateEggspectations now is a good time to prevent the next round of dandelions from germinating but I am not a fan of this product because it also prevents grass seeds from germinating if you are overseeding.

Recipe for jealous neighbours:
Overseeding (now is a good time)
Fertilizer 32-0-4: early may, mid-June, early august
Fall fertilizer 32-0-10: mid-October

For weeds, at this point there isn’t much choice, manual removal…

Trying to figure out the best method to transfer without a mess.

Put the lid on and lay it on its side spigot up, roll to dispense

Drilled qty 2 - inch and a quarter holes. (31.75mm)

After 2.5 gallons came out, dispensing slowed as the weight behind it was reduced. Now the bucket is sitting in a sink full of really hot tap water to become more fluid.

I float a bucket in 120 degree water for about 18 hrs to get it viscous
