Timeline for new grass:
Guidelines:
- Growing season is 6 months in West Texas, roughly April to October (last spring frost to 1st fall frost);
- Apply 2 – 3 lbs of nitrogen fertilizer per 1,000 ft per year.
- Spring fertilizer: roughly 6 weeks after last spring frost;
- For initial application, till fertilizer into the soil with the seed.
- Mow when grass is 1/3 to 1/2 higher than desired mowing height.
April 1: Till ground, spread fertilizer, spread seeds, water.
May 15: Apply fertilizer that is four to six parts nitrogen, one part phosphorus and two to four parts potassium (16-4-8 fertilizer).
July: Apply additional fertilizer. Look for slow release.

Setting up Google Voice Voicemail on a T-Mobile phone
Taken from: http://www.entropyfarm.org/things/google-voice-setup-t-mobile/
As with other things on this site, I’m lazy and hate to run into a problem that requries hours of digging through forum posts for a solution. The following is (probably) what you should do if:
- You are on T-Mobile in the USA
- You have an Android phone (this may work with others but I have no idea)
- You have a Google Voice number with voicemail set up already
- You want to use Google Voice as your voicemail instead of T-Mobile’s VM
Setup
If all of the above apply to you, the solution is fairly simple:
- In a browser, login to your Google Voice account, and click on Settings. In the Voicemail tab, set up your greeting.
- On your phone, install the Google Voice App.
- From your phone’s dialer, enter * * 0 0 4 * [Your Google Voice Number] #
That’s it, pretty simple.
To disable forwarding, again from your dialer, dial: # # 0 0 4 #
