    OT: Who makes the BEST Pizza You’ve ever had?

    We have a wood burning oven we use for tailgates but to be honest, I like indoor 525 degrees. Either way works. Neopolitan is higher temp, lower cook time. Totally different approach/taste/meal.

    OT: Who makes the BEST Pizza You’ve ever had?

    Their sausage bar pie was really good! There are tons of different styles and recipes and I think it’s largely a matter of personal taste as to what is “best.” I’ve been making pizza since I was a teenager (was a classmate of Henry Rutgers). Anyway, I make a 63% hydration, 48-72 hour cold...

    OT: Guitar / Guitarist Appreciation Thread

    Operator is one of my all time favorite songs. I’ve been playing for 50+ years and to my ears and taste, Maury’s guitar on this song is among the best I’ve ever heard. As an aside, I heard Jim and Maury play at the Philly folk festival in August 1973, a month before the plane crash. So much...

    OT: Stock and Investment Talk

    She has been in the industry for several decades with different fund groups. I don’t believe she has performed well over time. This post is a few years old and was originally from the Boglehead site. It’s an interesting read.

    OT: Basement Gym

    We too have an unfinished basement. I have a bench, barbell and plates, dumbbells, resistance bands, a tread mill, and rowing machine. We have two heavy duty 8’x6’ mats. I would start with dumbbells either adjustable or separate sets maybe 5# to 50# depending on your status and goals. I’d...

    OT: Eternal Lawn Care Thread

    I don’t put it own until around Memorial Day but you can put it down earlier depending on your yearly application schedule. Too much fertilizer in the spring can lead to some lawn diseases. That’s not to say you can’t do it now or soon. http://rutgersnjfertilizerapp.blogspot.com/

    Good point! Personally I’m okay with preemergence before a big rain but might wait on fertilizer if you do it this early and if you have some slope to your property.

    OT: Eternal Lawn Care Thread

    Yea,I agree. I do a crab grass PM around now, then again in late June, then again in September for Poa annua and other fall germinating weeds.

    OT: Eternal Lawn Care Thread

    Not a problem. Depending on the preemergent and application rate, coverage is generally one month (Mesotrione) to three to four months (Dithiopyr and others). Getting it down early won’t hurt anything.

    Agreed, could be low nitrogen. I’d probably take it out with triclopyr, get a soil test from Rutgers, then up nitrogen or other add other amendments as dictated by the soil test.

    OT: Eternal Lawn Care Thread

    Clover can spread pretty rapidly. Some people like it in a lawn, I don’t. Two or three spray applications of triclopyr spread three weeks apart will control it. Triclopyr is the active ingredient in Ortho CCO Purple label that you can get at Home Depot, Lowes, etc. As always, please follow the...

    I may be a little late too, with soil temps 4” down about 55. But Dithiopyr and Prodiamine can control crab grass before emergent and also have some post emergent control to a limited agree. So I think—hope—we will be okay. Too windy in my area for liquid spray till maybe Friday.

    OT: Grass seed recommendations?

    Agreed, this piece on reading seed label is worth a look. By the way, I agree with your concept of declining germination each year. I’m somewhat astounded that I started some indoor pots of Bewitched KBG 15 days ago and have excellent germination???? I’m very surprised, but happy. But your...

    OT: Retiring early

    I don’t know how many employers do that but I’d strongly encourage people to invest time and energy to maximize financial literacy. Whether you have an employer who offers this or a financial advisor, people should aim to do their own analysis. I had neither the workshops nor financial...
