I thought we had a thread for this, but couldn't find it. What did you buy today?

My wife’s wedding diamond fell out of the setting and is lost. Probably going to get a lab grown one for a fraction of the price. The only difference I can see is the earth mined diamonds have a trace amount of nitrogen and the lab ones don’t.

Par4QC white vinegar, dawn and salt will kill anything, especially spurge. It can also ruin the rubber gaskets in your spray tank, depending on what you use. Which is why I like to use Spectracide.😁

Does it kill the grass too(fescue)? I need a herbicide that just kills the crabgrass.

Not at Rex's place!! That is exactly what I used.
Spectracide, Roundup, hot water/salt, vinegar/Dawn/salt and finally straight ol' gasoline. It still thrives in NW IL!!!

It even relishes the weedeater prior to treatment. Like getting a fresh haircut for it. Then....a li'l dab'll do ya. 😅

As a side note.....I have not tried pissing on it yet.🤔

It does to grass what Raid does to bugs. I use it. Have some in a tank right now.

So I used this yesterday and 24 hours later Spurge is dead, crabgrass is dead, dandilions are dead. 2 ounces per gallon in a sprayer.

As I mentioned earlier, I bought it at a “Site One” place. Not sure they have one near you. I also buy my Lesco Fertilizer there. They carry commercial grade products, not the Home Depot Crap and half the price.

You'll have to reorder that Maverick you originally wanted. I sure love mine. Decent power with the 2.0 turbo and I got almost 32 mpg on the way home from Texas last March. The only detractor that I've found is that the box could be a bit larger. 90% of the time it's fine but if you want to haul something larger it's a bit tight.

Here ya go!
The butterfly/F1 type wheel....a bit of work to use this steering wheel.

New 13" round wheel much more user friendly!
The Moza wheels use a quick disconnect system just like a real race car!👍

Wifey taking the Ferrari P4/5 for a spin.....I don't think she ever got out of 2nd gear!😁

This thing is blast to use,a bunch of unaffordable cars to try and some really cool tracks to go haulin' ass on.
Biggest issue,my old soundbar doesn't want to pair up with the pewter half the time......🤔

Sneakylong Got to live another 10 years for that to be a good investment

So you got 17 years of living invested including solar!

Typhoon With this hot-as-Hell heat here and my scalping 3 days ago, I think the crabgrass has had it. Thing is, the whole front yard is brown now. The spurge is along the drive and the backside of the house; never gets into the yard proper, so I don't worry too much about it.
And those chemicals cost too damn much for my experimenting.

Oh no need for experimenting… I did that for you. It was 64 oz for $75. And it’s 2 ounces per gallon mix.I probably 5 gallons of spray… that leaves me 54 oz left. This will last a long time, just like the guy said.

No screwing around with Roundup, Ortho, Spectracide anymore.

candukid

At least you guys can buy selective herbicides. We can get some that are environmentally friendly but they don’t work very well. I have a stash of Killex that I use sparingly.

Par4QC

candukid I think this Roundup they sell now could be used as a mixer in bars. With no ill effects.
You can almost hear the weeds 'slurping' when spraying it on them.😅

Even the stuff they sell as a 'sterilizer' is nothing but bullshit.
And everything grows well under bullshit, as we know.

We use Roundup 365 in all our gravel areas and works great.

I was wandering around Ebay earlier and found some brand new Adams Pro DHy hybrid heads from DTG. Never tried them, but I will probably later this week😆.
$25 + ship/each.

Par4QC I have one. 100 percent. Need a Fuji shaft?

Par4QC the mini pros they are selling/sold, the weights are fixed*/not OG......they spin after some.heat but don't come out.... ymmv. Almost put my rotator cuff in disrepair and ruined.my PXG wrench trying the first time. Almost worthy of a WRX post🙃

You scared me....thought they may be .335, but rechecked (.370) and I'm good to go with many shafts here already. Thanks!

Typhoon Just send 2 oz.. My place isn't all that big.

😅

Typhoon

Par4QC I was surprised how much is used. I usually dig dandilions but I wanted to see how this did on them. Crabgrass, I have a little here and there, I don’t worry about it but wanted to hit a couple to see how it worked. 4 gallons I could see.

I’ll cut the lawn this week and hit what ever I missed, probably one gallon.

Maybe you can split a jug with a neighbor 😂
