@@albertlovshin7791 thanks I’ll make sure to stop

It never actually looks brown because as I mowed it just kind of disappeared you’ll just notice over time that the nutsedge that was there is no longer out growing your grass as that was always the big indicator to me.

@@miguelpasillas1391 yes! I had a summer video recorded this year but was unfortunately corrupted and didn’t get out in time. I will be doing a lawn leveling video later this year as well!

@@treasuredLawn best time to do the leveling?

@@miguelpasillas1391 ​​⁠best answer is when your lawn is actively growing. If you have cool season lawns that’s going to be spring and fall and warm season lawns will be summer.

@@treasuredLawn thanks so much for the info

@@miguelpasillas1391 anytime!

@@oneandonly317 like a tree right? No you should be fine. Mesotrion is selective so just double check the label but it only targets weeds.

Yes you can use dish soap as a surfactant

It’s resilient 😂😂

Thank you! Unfortunately my lawn took a turn while I was out of town and summer has been kicking its ass…we’re gunna have a lot of work to do in the fall

So I know that if you lose power it won’t run that would be the same for all controller systems. If you lose wifi with this system though there is no way to manually run the system.

I’ll be honest I’m not fully sure if you can run two controllers off the same app or system. I couldn’t find anything online about it. I switched over to the imolaza system which does have a 12 valve system. I reviewed this one as well and personally think it’s better. Imolaza Sprinkler Controller Review. Is This The Best On The Market?? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWamlp1ti6eSjbM amzn.to/4c1eHuN

Thanks. I was on a bit of a time crunch. I opted for a HiOazo 8 zone system. It looks like a clone of the inkbird and uses the inkbird app. My hope is the app will recignize both controllers independently of each other...so one iic600 and one HiOazo 8 zone on a wifi network. Let the testing begin...Its a gamble, but so is life! 😂

@@brent9165 yup I get that! Let me know if it works! Usually why it has to be one system is because you can’t run two valves at once so I’m curious if this works for you. Please report back!

@@sunnyb4078 I’m glad I was able to help!

I would use any lawn nitrogen fertilizer right now I’m using turf titan lawn commander. You don’t need a lot of it just enough to trick the plant so maybe for 2gallons you can put in like 2-3 oz that should be more than enough.

@@treasuredLawn Thanks

@@user-io1xz6gh3r of course! Anytime!

Once it’s dry you are good to let your pets and children on the lawn. Mesotrione is rain fast at around 4-6 hours when doing spot spraying.

@@ricktaylor7835 we’re just outside of Boise! How you liking Florida?

We lived in Rockhampton II We lived on The Big Island of Hawaii before moving to Boise, Florida is similar in many ways to Hawaii. It’s definitely fun learning how to dominate new grass types here. Had Kentucky Bluegrass is Boise, now I’ve got Palisade Zoysia for my front yard and Bahiagrass for my backyard.

@@ricktaylor7835that’s funny my neighbor is from Hawaii as well. I love it out in Boise I can’t do the humid weather y’all have on a regular basis

@@Champagnegame0 this kit was a game changer in my opinion never seen stripes like this before from a rotary mower

I hope so cause I don’t know how to act 😂 this thing really got me excited

@@kamalakrsna something I think more of these companies should add. I use it a lot

You can even try combining this with quichlorac if you wanted but let me know how it turns out

@@treasuredLawn Definitely will let you know.

@@treasuredLawn Applied the mesotrione with surfactant about 4 days ago and it’s definitely bleaching out the crabgrass. We shall see if it kills it in time.

@@treasuredLawn Will the crabgrass eventually shrivel up or might have to go in and rake them out manually once they are killed. I learned with crabgrass this season you have to kill crabgrass at a young stage with quinchlorac and MSO. Once the crabgrass is mature way harder to get rid of. I couldn’t use quinchlorac at first because I seeded in late March and the grass was too young. Now I know why it’s so important to do a renovation in fall.

@@catherineagarcia7964 once it starts to brown out I mowed over it and it just started to go away you could pull it yourself if you want to speed that process up

Yeah pretty similar I’m not a fan of the dial on the side of the ego versus where it is on the green machine ego also has less volts and I think the ego only comes with a 2.5AH battery versus the 4AH. I think both look sick though

@@treasuredLawn true.. I gotta get me a GM, I like the integrated hole to hook and hang. Also the usb feature is a plus! Thanks

@@ayosjay yeah I love that the hanging feature is already there like nothing is more annoying than having my tools on the ground or having to buy a hanging system. I LOVE the USB feature on the batteries because it gives them more than just one use. When I’m filming I have things plugged into them usually.

@@DirtygardenCA this one was a huge upgrade I loved all the features and the batteries are awesome

Great questions, it is safe for some warm season lawns be sure to check the label and still use it as directed. Not all lawns are the same so there can be some issues when using it improperly. General rule of thumb is don’t mow 3 days before or 3 days after. This gives the herbicide plenty of surface area and time to work. The blue dye washes away and fades after time. I can’t tell you how many times it’s been on my concrete and then just gone after a good rainstorm comes in. Tenacity is the brand name of mesotrione which is what I use in the video. A lot of people just call it the popular brand name kinda like Kleenex for tissue lol I get your anxiety when it comes to lawn care. We were all there at some point so if you ever have any other questions please feel free to reach out I’m here to help!

@@treasuredLawn really appreciate you getting back to me, also as quickly as you did, thanks so much! Answered nearly everything I was curious about. Only other one was the question about the Tenacity vs quinclorac... Why do you prefer Tenacity/Mesotrione? Just my own reading it seems some prefer one over the other? Thanks again, truly! Last time I should be bothering you for now haha! You have a new subscriber in me 👍🏻

@@jays566for me it was what I had on hand and because these lawns were not even a year old I wasn’t comfortable putting. Quinclorac on it yet. I might try it though this year on my neighbors lawn so stay tuned for that!

@@treasuredLawn so quinclorac is a little stronger then it sounds like from your reply. Thanks again for your replies, and the video! Keep up with the spreading of your wisdom 👍🏻

No not anymore, I switched it up for this year to make it a little easier on the lawn

@@Control-Freak so it’s best applied when temperatures are below 85. If you can get out in the early morning and spray you’ll be okay.

Oh man I envy you warm season folks sometimes with your creeping grasses but then I remember the bulk of your work comes right now when I’d rather be inside 😂😂

@@sal6830 it’s best applied when temps are below 85 degrees

@@mattb9664 this grass game is tough too watching a lot of the weather forecasts and trying to predict things even the weather man can’t predict. I need to desperately aerate our lawn it’s struggling with the heat but I have to just wait it out

Is yours for a riding mower? My checkmate is bolted in to the wheels so there’s no way to move it from one to another

@@treasuredLawn No it attaches to the handle of a troybilt walk behind

@@mmangredi3776 interesting, I wonder why they came down that with all of their systems

@@treasuredLawn I just bought mine this spring. It maybe a new adaptation. But when I don’t want it on, I just pull the cotter pins.

@@mmangredi3776 quite possibly a new adaptation

I feel like the bags that come with these things are so sad and small and fill up way too quickly. I wish they were bigger but I can see how they are still useful. Should do a test to see which is faster running with the bag and just bagging with the mower

@@treasuredLawn Yes that’s what I always hear. Yes they feel up fast, but I’m alright with that. I’m more philosophical, so I look at it as a patience builder. Plus I like to take my time. I’m not in a hurry. I’m enjoying my yard and the process of it all. At the end of the day we all do what works for us. You do a good job sir. Keep rocking on!

@@individualthought3844 anytime! I appreciate the love!

Sedgehammer is rainfast in 4 hours you just want to make sure you give it a good spray. So as long as you wait about 4 hours you should be fine. My system would be to spray sedgehammer in the evening and then let the irrigation do its thing in the morning.

@@treasuredLawn Thank you so much.

@@KickinChick06of course!

@Obscurefollowing Sorry, last question. Do you just leave the dead nustedge in the ground or do you try to pull them out once they die off?

@@KickinChick06 good question, if it’s in the grass I just leave it anywhere else I’ll basically weed wack it once it’s dead and brown but I never pull it

Where are you located you can’t get tenacity?

@@rjm2010 I used it on rye but it is safe on zoysia as long as you follow the rates on the bottle which may be different than the rates I used.

Yeah absolutely same rules apply obviously those are used in larger areas with like a zero turn or something similar but same rules should apply still

@@treasuredLawn sweet. I do residentially and commercial mowing but looking to expand my services offered into this as well

@@ryanyoung2368 yeah that’s pretty solid I have never used one of these before specifically but should work the same I believe

Is it wasted time if you enjoy it?

This would be preferred I wish more companies did this for rotary mowers

It does right? Like it just edges it out a bit more and I think the ability to remove the kit is an added bonus

Perhaps it’s heavier. But it’s definitely better and concealing your wheel marks 👍 I like it

Oh man I should have put them on a scale! But getting the checkmate off is a pain 😂😂

Just go get that green machine 😂 but I won’t be surprised if lawn stryper eventually designs the piece for it the ego I’m sure it’s just gunna take a little time to get it built up. Idk though they had so many pieces to use.

@@troybalster3687 ego has their own stripe system fyi.

I agree! The checkmate is just a bummer if you need to remove it. It stripes well but if you need it off it’s more of a hassle to remove and put it back on.

Thanks for subscribing! What kind of lawn do you have

Sedgehammer is safe for people and pets once it’s dried unfortunately there is absolutely nothing about what happens if your dog eats a sprayed area once it’s dried…as for lakes and water areas are you living on the lake or like it’s near you? If you have a good distance and no breeze you would be okay I think you can’t just spray it right near those water ways

I haven’t tried this but I’m not sure if it removes the root which would just cause it to come back. Worth testing out though.

@@treasuredLawn This would be a control measure as we do not want to use insecticides. I have noted with the hand rake approach the majority of CC is removed (I know it will grow back over time) and was questioning anyone's use of a drag dethatcher or power unit. Thx

If you can get it on sale sure currently I can’t find it less than $330. I’m not a fan of auto loading though I like to have some control over the length just a personal opinion. This one also has a little more voltage but I don’t think when it’s that close you’re going to see much of a difference. Ego’s are great machines no hate on them from my end!

@@treasuredLawnyea I just finished the video. If there’s a free battery in there, then that’s a good deal. But powerload and autofeed are different things. Powerload you just push a button and it loads the line IN* on its own. Autofeed - feeds it OUT^ automatically. I’m also not a fan of that. I’ll just bump the head when I need time

Powerloads with charger and 2.5amp batt is $250 here regular price. Could be a regional thing. Not sure. I do like that mower tho! Enjoy your much quieter mows 😂

@@Brbn right they usually run the sale with a free battery so it’s a good deal and I like their battery’s And yeah sorry I the fast loading is cool on the ego when I was talking about the auto feed I went off on another direction my bad 😂 both have pros and cons for sure. If I could get a machine that has some features from both that would be awesome.

@@Brbn might be a regional thing and also which stores are selling them. The mower is awesome, still could use some updates but I think they’ll dial it in eventually.

Honestly I can’t think of a better looking color scheme the cub cadets maybe with the black and yellow but this one is awesome

Thanks for subscribing! That Bermuda can just take over a lawn at any point

Which I get I think these two batteries would easily take care of 6k square feet but I agree I I think if you have large yards you definitely need to look at far more details to make sure it works for your yard.

I got mine on Amazon, there should be a link in the description of the video of everything I used for you :)

If it’s really bad you can mix a little with some quinclorac and you should be able to get it under control. Once it’s a huge infestation though it’s tough to get it under control so I’m wishing you the best of luck! Report back!

How did it work!?

Curious myself also what you used exactly and how it's working?

@@jays566 I used the product he recommended. I probably mixed it too strong. It turns the grass and weeds a sickly and very noticeable white. So, the neighbors are going to notice and maybe laugh a little at you. The product seems to have worked best in the front yard. I have a large area that is sparse now with St Augustine because the crabgrass died. It will turn your grass white too. I came along and mowed later and I hit the top of the affected blades of grass with the weed eater to hide the look and to hopefully nip the affect of the weed killer at the tip of the grass. I don't know how much it has hurt the grass but it doesn't seem to be dying but it didn't help it. I'll need to use some more of the product. My neighbor behind me has nothing but crabgrass, dollar weed and so on. The crabgrass seeds look like Bahia shoots but much smaller. Those seeds are very fine and impossible to keep out of the air when kicked up by the mower or the wind. In short, the chemical worked but not as much in some places. I have bits of crabgrass all over the yard.

​@@jaxflfreebirdthanks for the reply. Interesting. Tomorrow will be day 4 for me and so far, everything is just as it was for him in the video. I'm in New York and the level of heat and humidity this summer has been extreme. I have the worst crabgrass I ever had. It is spotty but there are endless amounts of it. To this point I'm only seeing the crabgrass wilt and turn brown and some white, my grass seems unaffected. I've been curious what others'experiences have been. I'll know more in a week, and even more the week after that

Man this seed is great! I can already tell it’s darker but as it matures I know it’s really going to show out even more. My neighbor was shocked too how much darker it is now. Great job getting this seed together man!

amazing results bro 🔥🔥. Random question for you , what kind of tree is that in your front yard? 🤔👌🏼👀

@@peupeuguy310 it’s a maple, not exactly sure what type, it was here when we bought the house I have a love hate relationship with it lol

@@treasuredLawn oh relly? i need some shade bro , my fescue out here is getting torched :-/ what would be the negatives? 👀

@@peupeuguy310 well this one has some surface roots unfortunately so my lawn has a couple areas you can’t see with roots and when I eventually move to reel mowing I’ll need to take care of those somehow. This tree is also massive has to be close to 15-20 years old so when fall comes in out there almost every day collecting leaves or mulching them. Also it will drop its seeds in the lawn and I’ll occasionally find sprouts in the lawn I have to pull out every year. It’s great for the shade because my house does face slightly west so I’m thankful for that and it is a beautiful tree. It’s a love hate for sure lol
