Speaker 1 (00:01):
All right, back at it we go twenty minutes after
the top of the hour at home with Gary Salvan.
A big part of our home is our homes landscaping.
That's why we bring in mister Wilson, and we bring
him in this time every weekend, every What should I
do today outside Charlotte. I'm kind of tired of all
(00:23):
this ron, tired of it, tired of it.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Well, Gary, you know what your landscape is pretty much
an established landscape. Yeah, you don't really need to add anything.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
True.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Your beds are edged and mulched.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
True.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Um, you know you've been watering the lawn, so you
do need a mow every now and then.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
True.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
So for the most part, I would say, you're at
a point where you know you really aren't doing anything
in the landscape right now, so you know you can
semi throw the trowel in and uh, you know, call
it or fall besides mowing, because you got to keep
as long as it's growing, you got to keep mowing.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I noticed in my yard and also in other people's arts.
Some bear spots this year.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yes, sir, drought, yes, sir. For the most part, you
know you will see some grub dammage start to show
up usually about late September.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Early I think. But I'm seeing a little bit of that.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
But you'll know that if you go out there and
try to pull that up and the and the turf
pulls up like sod and usually you might see a
few grubs underneath there, so that that could be possibility.
You know. There's also situations where in many turfs, even
the really nice ones, a warm season grass will infiltrate
(01:36):
in a thinner area like nimble Will for instance. It's
probably one of our worst and it's nice and green,
everything that's good, and then about now it starts to
lose its color.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I call it shaky.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah. And then all of a sudden you say, what
are those brown patches? Well, it's not grub dammage and
it's not drought. It's where another grass was there. That's
a warm season grass. It starts to go dormant and
over it's amazing overtime. Next thing you know, it kind
of spreads out in your lawn thins. It doesn't take
over the lawn, It just moves in where lawn thins
out right. I could probably find that in almost every
(02:09):
lawn that's out there, right to some degree. It's one
of those things you can just almost never get rid of.
But a lot of times that's what that is that
you start to see this time of the year.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
What about when you're your grass is beige and black.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
That's not good. That's that would be way. You have
to put the black in there or blaze, ah, it.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Looked like somebody poured water on Then freight it great.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
I know, it's beautiful, excellent.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
It kind of pulls right out. I seed it a
little bit of that.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yeah, rake that out and you know, and again, if
you've got some of these areas, all you have to
do is just rake that out, get that out of there,
because you need good seed soil contact. That's a key
that in moisture for getting grass seed to grow, seed
soil contact and cool season grasses. If you're doing bluegrass
right now, I would not do that. It takes too
long to Germany. But the fescues and the rise, you
(03:03):
still have time to do it. We're getting late, but
you still have time to do it. And do remember
one last thing. If you have a weed or two
that's popped up here in their broad leaf weeds, mid
to late October is actually the best time to go
after those, to spot treat with a broad leaf weed killer, dandelions,
things like that, not crab grass, not the annual grasses.
(03:24):
They're gonna die on their own, but those broad leaf
weeds that have been a tough one to get rid of.
This is a great mid to late October, great time
to go after those. It really works a lot better
because they're shutting down. Sure, they take that and they
shove it down into the roots and it just takes
them out. It takes a little bit longer, you know,
don't notice them browning off quite as quickly, but it
(03:45):
does a nice extended job.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
You know. I think on some of my beare spots.
I think they were Gary created. Uh oh, remember when
we were talking about nut grass. Yes, Mighty used the
wrong buff ah. Yeah, maybe I don't know, but it's
right in an area where there was nut grass and
that thing is dead, or in a doornail about the
size of a basketball.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I love it. Every now and then I'll see it
long where somebody went through and spot treated. And it
can be confusing because there is a brand out there
that that the brand name. They have all different types
of products under the same brand name, same color bottle. Yeah,
and it's round up and they and they do label
all different kinds of things underneath the round up labels,
(04:29):
and the vegetation killer is the main one. But then
there's broad if we killer and this and that, and
you get the wrong bottle and surprise.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
I'm pretty sure that's what happened, because it's right where
I had the nut grass, and I mean it's dead
as a doornail, and there's.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
As you got rid of it that survived.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Well, I got rid of it all. And I remember
I have people come in the store and be talking
about that, and you know what we talk about, just
like you talk about it, and I go, I just laugh,
like I don't know where we just pray the wrong stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
It's easy, it happens, but you know, in a yeah,
in a small area like that. And it's also easy
to pick up just one piece of sod from your
local garden center and just cut that out in a
nice little square, put that sod right back down into
that spot. It's instant fills it back in, keep a
little bit moisture to it, and you got it made. Hmmm,
And we got plenty of time to sod.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
You know what I think we got plenty of time
to plant grass seed.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
We got you know what serious Well, I'm with you,
but you don't want it, you.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Know, I know there's a gamble.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
You try to you always take the gamble. Mother Nature's
closing the window as we speak.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
But I remember used to say, in our area, you know,
after mid September, Oh yeah, oh, now here we are.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
We're first week of October. You were taking a big chance.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
I think you're kind of good, but there's still a chance.
Sounds like winter might be cold.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Though, so I'll take it.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
