Please don't feed the trolls/kooks. Thanks.

NOT a troll, just looking for answers!
You saw them spread the weed? How? Transplants? Seed? Herbaceous cuttings?

this appeared right after they areated my law.

And the weeds appeared in the plug holes!!!

Ahh! So *that's* how they did it! A core is removed, and a weed transplant
was put in it's place, all in the same pass. Brilliant!

And maybe the bugs I have now????

Most likely. I believe you when you say that you had zero insects living
in
your lawn. Congrats on maintaining such a sterile environment. You'll
probably live to be 100+.

Maybe I'm wrong, but, I think I said "what you would expect to see"

By the way, Steveo, Maybe you wouldn't think this funny if you came out
and
renovated my backyard in the 100+ deg. heat.

Maybe the heat had something to do with your lawn dying? Nah. I'm sure
your
yard didn't have heat until the lawn died. And, we all know that weeds
don't thrive in heat. And, insects usually take summers off. How often did
you water, btw?

The lawn was doing fine in the heat, the problem started after the heat wave
broke. Watering was done acording to the sod farms instructions.

Or, maybe the lawn didn't survive because you totally wrecked the entire
ecosystem that was in place in your yard. Let's see, you dug up the rest
of
the lawn. Then you "flooded" it with Sevin.

Could you elaborate on what rate per 1000 square feet, "flooded" is? I
couldn't find it on my bottle of Carbaryl. And, you know that Sevin is not
really a selective pesticide, right? It will kill beneficial organisms as
well as pests. And, it kills on contact.

I suppose I shouldn't have used the word "flooded", it was applied at the
recommed rate then watered in,as recommended by the UCSD ag.extension.

Then you tilled the lawn. How deep did you till?
6"
At what rate did you apply the compost? How many yards per 1000 square
feet?

2
Then you tilled again.

One last application of (I'm guessing, your "Bayer granules" was a bit
vague) Imidacloprid.

I don't remember the active ingredient.

That should take care of any earthworms, parasitic
wasps (which eat grubs, btw), and other beneficial creatures. Oh, and I
don't think I'd put in a vegetable garden in the near future. The label
stipulates that food crops cannot be planted for a year after Imidacloprid
application. Thus, two growing seasons would have elapsed before harvest.
I wonder if kids should play out on a treated lawn before that year is up.
Do ya have kids, Micro?

I don't think I'll be planting any veggies in the front lawn in the near
future. Yes I have kids, they're probably older than you and have no green
and purple horns growing out of their heads.

But, don't worry... the half life is only 720 days. And, apparently, it's
quite alright to treat yearly. Makes sense to me! I guess nematodes were
not on the list of possible solutions to your insect woes.

Appplied Bacillus thuringiensis when the problem first appeared before
renovation.


You had one "perceived" bad experience with some rinky-dink lawn company,

Trugreen chemlawn, natonwide, doubt it's "rinky-dink".

which probably had nothing to do with your lawn problem, and lumped *ALL*
lawn services into the "not a good thing" category. Ever had a bad
experience at a restaurant? Guess there's no good restaurants, then.

I suppose if I had a food poisoning in a restaurant and they passed they're
unwashed pots,pans and utensiles to other restaurants, I would lump them all
together.
Do you clean your tools between each lawn. Gosh, why do that, might hurt
business.

You come in, ****ing and moaning because you had some weeds,

Read the original post, it was not about the weeds.
