[quote]What are your normal places to buy Bermuda seed in bulk (25 lbs-50 lbs)?[/quote] I’ve bought several hundred lbs of Bermuda Royal TXD from Hancock Seed and have been very happy with it. I’ve also bought from Outside Pride....

The equity in your current home will not factor into the construction loan aspect. They will only loan you enough to cover 80% of the estimated build costs. That includes the appraisal and payoff of the land, so the land equity will be rolled into it. I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking be...

[quote]What pipe sealant did you use? Worried about a paste melting. Figured teflon won’t hold up[/quote] I don’t recall exactly, but it wasn’t a special high temperature sealant. Just a readily available NG compatible product. They do have high temp ones but I did not feel it was warranted. I...

Your source (generator) is only putting out 30A maximum and has its own breakers to protect itself. You can use an adapter to plug the 30A source into the 50A inlet box without any issues.

Last time I bought roundup from a store that wasn’t a a farm dealer, it didn’t really work[/quote] If you want a kill-all solution, glyphosate is by far the easiest and best bang for the...

Centipede is easy, but it just doesn’t look great. It’s never marketed as a quality turf. Its only advantage is cost and ease of care. You can cut it once every 2 weeks and it’ll be fine. No need to fertilize. But it’ll never look “great”. Our weather in LA is also still a little odd for ou...

As ronk mentioned, with new topsoil there’s no need to till it. If you want to mix in any amendments or anything like that, you could, or if you’re only going very shallow with top soil, it wouldn’t hurt. I killed and tilled mine when I planted, but I was not bringing in any soil, and needed ...
