I completely understand. I had made my mind up to spray twice but after the hit the sedge took after the first spray I almost passed on the follow up spray. I'm sure glad I didn't now. I've been dealing with sedge for over 20 years in my plots. I finally decided to get serious and be done with...

I thought mine was dead too. About 90% of the plant was burned pretty good but it was still a little green near the base. I thought about just doing one app but I was advised to hit it again or it would bounce back next year. It was barely hanging on until I hit it again. Now it's completely...

Basagran needs a follow up 10-14 days after first spray to take out nutsedge.

Mine looked the same as yours until I hit it again. 10-14 days apart from your first spray and you should see a big difference.

I like it low 70's at the most. We have been a little above that here in Central IL.

Did you hit again with another 2 pints per acre?

It's been too warm to hunt where I'm at so that's pretty much all I've been doing.

I don't think it needs it unless you add cleth.

Not diy but still pretty cool. https://www.firewoodprosizer.com/

I had a spot like that this year that I ended up having to reseed and topped it off with rye and oats. It was a carpet of green a couple of days ago in spite of very little rain. That field edge looks great!

I mixed cleth and basagran with great results. I did my follow up basagran spray about 14 days after my first application minus the cleth for round 2. I completely wiped out my nutsedge which was my main focus. Hopefully it will not return next year but we will have to wait and see. I broadcast...

I was told by BASF rep there is no residual with Basagran. They also sent me the below additive rate chart.

If you're drilling do it now. Throw in some cereal rye while you're at it. I would still take a chance with broadcasting within the next week, especially if it's a smaller plot.

Ravin strings are better than they used to be that's for sure. I had no concerns at all with a custom set once my Ravin strings were done. But omicron is right, use custom strings at your own risk.

Material is part of it but Perry Valley is a true "custom" string builder. PV does not mass produce strings like WC does. He builds them all himself, one at a time. More or less strands has nothing to do with the life of a string. The number of strands is dictated by the required string...
