Quoted from "servicetechMA" Quoted maybe try some lime to lower acid level,cut a few low branches,and constantly clean up the needles,and then miloganite, if they have it around you,im sure they do,miloganite is dirt cheap but incredible,i hand dug in a couple zones at my house, i put a bunch of miloganite on it,more than i had anywhere else before, and in like 9 days,the 6'' wide by 100' area,was 10 inches high perfectly green and it looked crazy, the whole lawn was brownigh and then there was...
Quoted from "Mitchgo" Unfortunately there's not much you can do. When the pine needles drop , they have a high acidic base. So the dirt is damaged for grass. As well, the shallow feeder roots from the tree will suck up all the water, stealing it from the grass. You can replace the dirt and re-seed / re- sod. However by this time next year it will look like it does now. The best thing to do is to convert this to a mulch bed with native plants and the tree's Will think about that,thanks

Quoted from "Mitchgo" What kind of valve, care to take a picture? There's only one kind of solenoid where you push the wires in to make the connection.. It's a horrible valve and solenoid Sounds like you should just replace the solenoid to the valve and re-wire up the connections. I don't know the exact brand of the valve but it's quite similar to this one.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCDKA5zD1Uw&feature=related There are 2 wires that i think is not tough enough,i am very sure that the wire...
Hello guys,new to this forum but been a lurker since 3 months ago,my friends garden has 8 zones and all are working fine except zone 6 now after few days of troubleshooting,we found out that a wire connected to the solenoid is loose,on manual run,it won't start but if we touch the wire and kinda push it little bit,a click is heard and the zone will start,we are both new to this so we both have no idea,is it possible to reconnect the faulty wire and solder it?or we have to replace the solenoid?th...
