Alright, I've had it with the darn mushrooms popping up all over my yard! It's time to "Go To the Mattresses"!!!

So, does anyone know exactly what chemical or whatever I can use to get rid of these gosh darn things? And no, they're not Morels, if they were, I wouldn't be complaining. smirk.gif

I believe what you need to buy is a very good fungicide.I dont remember what brand name I used for a once a year application for two years.The first year it took care of about 80% and last year the rest.This year no schrooms and two years ago I had a very good crop.Try your local hardware store or a chemical plant like a co-op.I bought it in a aersol can and just sprayed it on.Dont get any on you and I would wear gloves and a face mask so you dont inhale it.The hardware store in Arlington is where I got mine. smile.gif

Maybe I should stop at Agri-Fleet here in town (farm supply store) and see if they have anything. If they don't, I'll be e-mailing you about where you got your stuff.

It's just crazy in my back yard right now. Got back from vacation, mowed the lawn, and in 2 days there were 5 different patches of mushrooms that popped up, with new patches seemingly popping up every other day. mad.gif

Thanks Tom.

Basscatcher -

A couple of questions I've got for you.

Is your backyard real shady??

Also, do you have an irrigation system??

Usually, mushrooms are a result of too much moisture in the ground. I've got a couple of commercial places that water the property so much they have a mushroom problem.

If you have an in ground irrigation system, I'd suggest maybe backing off on it just a hair.

If your back yard is extremely shady, maybe down the road look into clearing a couple of branches out to open up the canopy just a hair more. Not only will it help with the mushrooms, but your grass may grow a little better as well.

I'll find out what the name is for the chemical today when I get a chance, and post it tonight for you, unless someone beats me to it.

      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

      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.
