Too Late To Apply ??

Postby sickticket » November 7th, 2011, 10:56 pm

Did my renovation over Labor Day weekend and the lawn looks great. Because of the heavy rain then the heavy snow I only got the chance to apply Tenacity the first of four stages before we got hit with frost. I will hold off the Tenacity until Spring (your suggested application date in Spring).
Question is, I have enough milo and sbm in stock to hit with one application each. Is it too late in the season and therefore I would be wasting product? Should I just hold off, save that stuff for the Spring and just apply the winter slow release fertilizer?
Anyother suggested prep work on the lawn before the real winter sets in Southeastern Pa?
Thanks for all the help. The lawn looks great and my wife did not throw me out after I killed off everything.

Personally, I've got 3 bags of milo left I'm going to dump today as its going to be in the 60's here in Massachusetts. I figure it may do some good, the bag calls for a thanksgiving dormant feeding so I figure I'm ahead of that. Real reason for dumping however: I like the garage space and hate to store it. lol

I'm two weeks out from my last drop of milo, but my weather is probably two weeks behind most here.

Late or not (and I don't think you are), I'd definately dump the SBM. Unless you'd like some furry company over the winter.

+1 Ronert. Don't store it over the winter, not in the garage. Storage on the grass is OK. :-)

I ended up with a mouse living in my car's ventilation system one winter from storing grains. Never again.

Excuse me for asking, but why were you storing grains in the ventilation system of your car? :razz:

Advice: don't do that.

I asked myself the same question, but it did seem to keep them warm.

The mouse thought the same. :-)

That was the year I saw the "very large cricket" in the garage. Then realized the cricked had ears and...a tail? That's a MOUSE! Fortunately I have no phobia of rodents (and rather like to observe mice...in their native environment, which is not my garage, thanks).
