I want to start this out by saying I do not work in the Lawn Care Business. However, I love taking care of my own lawn. I have about 3/4 acre lot, 36" exmark tthp with proslide and I use Lesco products for my own lawn. Last year I applied 4lbs of N and run into some trouble with some fungus. This year I decided to put down 0-0-7 with dimension and I will not put down any N until late may (by the way I live in Southern IN). I have recently taken a new job I am in a hotel for at least one night a week. Therefore, all the more reason I don't want to use Nitrogen in the spring, too much lush growth. Now for the story. I come home today and I see a tru-green flag in my yard with a receipt on my door. They applied 17-2-5 1lb N in Liquid form!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The receipt was for my neighbor. In addition they also applied barricade at 1/2 rate. After "talking" to the manager (talking = me chewing his ass and him listening), they informed me they now do split applications. He also stated, that there is no such thing as too much Pre M. I explained to him that I am not your average customer and do believe there is a such thing as too much Pre M. However, I do not know much about barricade. I put down 0-0-7 at .18 AI and had planed on doing this again in late May. My question is, should I do this again, or hold off since Tru-green put down the barricade? Thanks in advance for your help.
