Good morning!!!!

[LouNY]

Afternoon all;

Between 14-16 inches heavy wet snow on a not frozen driveway, equaled 2 hours yesterday and 3 1/2 hours of creeping along trying to move snow and not gravel/mud.
Dang late winter / spring storms.

good luck to all

Has anyone tried corn gluten as an organic pre emergent?

Hold on to you hats boys, there's a new INSTANT POT coming out later this spring.
It's called the INSTANT POT MAX.
"In addition to pressure cooking, sautéing, steaming and slow cooking, the Instant Pot will now have enough power to go up to the 15 PSI needed for safe, at-home preservation." New Instant Pot Max | Tasting Table

I might need a fourth!

What’s the pre emergent application rate for sand burrs with Surflan? I’m asking because I have an area in back that is a former crop field and even with a thick grass barrier it’s full of burrs.

I used 50 pounds for about 6,000 sq. ft. . Max application rate is 200 lbs per 11,000 sq. ft.

Don, no have not tried corn gluten. This is my second application, first ones was last fall, after digging up the then current crop of sandburs. No sandburs have reappeared. Yet!

Thanks. Just looked the Surflan AS up, as I wasn’t familiar with it. Have you used it before on sand burrs? They didn’t show on the list of weeds controlled.

One of my neighbors tried DuPont Pastora (post emergent) with pretty good results. Application rate is 1-1.5 oz. / acre.

the documentation I got does show sandbur, wife picked this up at the Gainesville Coop, specifically to deal with sandburs

Don- I have seen quite a few walkers with built in seating in longterm care facilities. The residents that had them seemed to like them, especially if they fatigued quickly/easily and needed to sit down. The one model that I took on a "test run and seating" worked well and the seat was comfortable. The one that I "test walked" also had a storage area under the seat. I like the handbrakes, but I would make sure the wheels can be locked while seated. I think some models are self locking when someone sits on the seat. A seat with unlocked wheels can be a serious fall hazard.

I agree with Buppies about a potential weather event for the 12 -14th timeframe. The weather models have been bouncing around about this potential storm. A lot depends on just how quickly this present low-pressure system off the NE coast moves on out and how the different "pieces" come together as Buppies posted. I do not think the NE will be seriously impacted, but time will tell.

The police here are under orders not to give chase and the kids know it.

I have no idea what the rules are today, but back about 50 years ago:laughing: . . . we could, and did, stop motorcycles and issue citations when appropriate. But if they ran, we were not supposed to give chase.

I used 50 pounds for about 6,000 sq. ft. . Max application rate is 200 lbs per 11,000 sq. ft.

The area is 10,000 sq ft. 200’ x 50’. I put some homeowner stuff on it last year and didn’t see much good it did.

The problem now is unlicensed dirt bike gangs roaming the streets.
