It's the stuff that feels wet and it's been constant here in OH. it's actually somewhat sunny right now so I put my 2nd app of RGS/Humic12 and some broadleaf weed treatment. I really need to get a battery operated back pack sprayer cause this manual pumping is BS and my shoulders are on fire! Probably 2nd app of fertilizer next week if it's not raining

Haas avocados are the best variety of all avocados.

I installed my Rachio gen 2 sprinkler controller. Super easy to install and setup. I highly recommend it.

I have a sprinkler system throughout my property but i wanna convert the flower bed sprinklers to drip irrigation. Looks pretty simple to do since they sell them at Home depot

Put down some Sevin's Insect, ant and grub killing granules as I saw moths flying out of the lawn yesterday when I mowed. That the first sign of them laying their eggs. I must've sweated at least a gallon being it was so damb humid cause of all the rain we've been getting

Fortunately our new home came with both Sprinkler and Drip irrigation.Definitely more eco-friendly.

That's what I heard so I started spending some time researching on how to convert it. Looks pretty easy from some of the DIY's

First time using aeration shoes. They kinda suck.

We had pouring rains every day for over a week and I saw some signs of gray leaf spot starting to show. Then it stopped raining for a few days and got really hot (but still pretty humid). The fungus seemed to resolve itself. Maybe you'll also get lucky without needing to treat it.

Took a closer look and it shows all signs of fungus. Went and bought 3 bottles of the Bayer Fungus Control that uses the hose and sprayer. Wow the whole yard smells now with that stuff

Pulled some weeds put of the flower beds and man...they come right back up 10x as much!

I'm more terrified of Junebug grubs than moths.
I've been applying Seven years. Good stuff.

I use to tie 2 June Beetles together with my Mom's thread and let them go as they fly up in circles when I was little lol

Woke up this morning and opened the windows and all I can smell is the fungus treatment
