Overseed - Does Scalp Really Mean Scalp
Comments (8)My idea of scalping is as low as any given mower will go while still able to move across the turf. This depends on the smoothness of the turf, the type of turf, how thick it is, whether it is dead or not, etc. When I scalped my toasted RUed KBG yard, the only thing keeping the mower from moving was the level of the lawn, so I was on the second to lowest setting. This left close to nothing on top of the thatch layer. When I came to the areas that I had missed with Roundup the first time and were still green/living/thick, I had a real problem at this level. Mower bogged down big time. All depends on the conditions of the turf and what the mower is trying to roll over and trying to knock down. The long germination time of the new KBG was the reason I went ahead and killed the existing lawn. I didn't want to go to all this effort just to have the old KBG fight off the new elite seed....See MoreLawn Tractor Is Scalping My Lawn
Comments (5)This is a common problem for mid-mount mowers. They normally ride suspended from the belly of your tractor. If your tractor wheels dip down, then so will the mower. It has anti-scalp wheels to stop this, although you don't want them to be normally riding on the ground. My lawn has one spot with a sharp rise. At the very crest, I would always scalp it, even with the anti-scalp wheels set reasonably. The simplest solution, if you cannot solve it by dropping the anti-scalp wheels, is to fill in the deepest holes. John...See MoreUnintentionally scalped my lawn
Comments (5)If you have a bermuda lawn, then keep mowing it at the low setting. Otherwise raise your mower to the highest setting and mow when it gets back up to 4.5 inches. You may have to wait a month, but it will get there....See MoreTiny brown spots on ficus audrey leaves and sores (?) on leaf stem?
Comments (1)It sort of looks like you may have spider mites. They are tiny nearly invisible to eyes. A hand lens will be useful if you have one. Spider mites tend to thrive in warm, dry indoor conditions a lot and especially under mature leaves. The brown spots that you see on top of leaves could be a result of damage but it does not look that bad. I usually spray the leaves, especially the undersides, once in a while and that keeps them at bay. You can use a diluted rubbing alcohol spray (50-50 with water) or insecticidal soap spray for an instant knock out effect. But they will keep coming back as long as it is dry and little air circulation. So spray the leaves with plain water every now an then. Those little bumps on the stem are normal. They are dormant buds where new branch may develop. It is a tough ficus and should be OK. Like any ficus give it plenty of light and water only when the first few inches are dry. Better yet use a chopstick and dig it deep in the soil to get a feel for how dry/wet the soil is. That is Ficus benghalensis or banyan tree as it is called in India. For some reason it acquired the name 'Audrey' here in USA....See Moreruthann
