I see that almost the entire state of MN is going to experience their first frost/freeze of the season this week.

If you are someone who has problems with creeping charlie, clover, violets or other hard to control weeds this is a great time to give them the gusto. Many of these weeds have strong defenses against herbicides during the growing season, but they all become vulnerable late in the season and especially after the first frost.

Find a product that is right for your weeds and let them have it at the recommended rate. Its a great time to hammer on those tough perennial weeds!!

How long should one wait untill after this rain to put down some chemicals and also how important is to put them down on a sunny day so that it will get sucked in and put an end to my mob of creeping charlie. Any help at getting rid of it is greatly apprecaiated. thx

Once the plant is dry, you can spray. Read the label of the product you're using, it'll tell you how long the rain / water should be off.

Hopefully something came up and you didn't get to it. With all the rain you guys are going to get, there's going to be a good chance it'll not be as effective.

nope, did not spray, and still havent. been too wet, and the next 2 days arent looking good either! probably wednesday. I did get down winterizer before all the rain started last week though.

How should a person handle weeds growing in a yard that was seeded about 8 weeks ago? The grass is at a point where the overall length is between 3 and 5 inches long. Is it best to pick the weeds by hand or spot spray? How will this affect the grass? Is it best to leave it be and address it this spring?

Thanks.

I reseeded my backyard this spring and hand picked them as i saw them pop up for the frist two months. then spot sprayed after that.

on the spray or seed container you have, it should say how long to wait before spraying, if the grass is to young it could kill it. but 8 weeks i would think you shoudl be fine

Generally speaking, after the grass has been mowed for the 3rd time.

You're probably going to wait to spray until spring.

LMN would be much more creditable than my opinion but I think it is a little late for the weedkiller, but this is perfect time for fertilizer. I did the weed killing 3-4 weeks ago and everything is dead gone now. even the creeping charlie.

You're still good to go until freeze up. Get it down now / soon.

You won't see the same quick reaction as if you did it in the spring, summer moths, but that chemical will all the way until the roots freeze, and some chemical will still be there in the spring.

Kill them buggers.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
