Good thought, I’ll add to my collection.

Seed goes under the peat, the peat holds the moisture in for the seed to germinate better.

Thanks, it was hard to tell from the video if the seed was down already. 👊 Looking at picking up one of these spreaders for next spring.

@@chosenscv sorry, this one was just a feature for landzie so I didn’t do it as a seeding video. Here is the steps , a little slower but you can see the steps here kzbin.info/www/bejne/oInYoaarasuNm6Msi=_KR3SBcpsr_Ao7NY

@@eduardo13405 that’s true, I believe he I made these videos I was running a 14 gauge though. It does burn out then motor if you don’t have the proper gauge allegedly.

That’s exactly what happened to my older model sunjoe one with the twist height adjustment. I was so excited to use it in my overseed project and never realized about the cord recommendation and burned the motor out.

One last question I want to get another one there’s two on market place for sale the 15’ corded one for $120 and the other one is the 13’ for $80 which would you recommend ?

@@eduardo13405 15” is a better machine, and for 120 it’s a steal. I bough them at that cost and resold them at 160 in the last lol.

Lol

I actually don’t have clients use topsoil. It’s like adding pristine dirt to cement. It’s way better to use the native soil and unlock it with amendments. As the grass will get use to it and help am money the soil there. Reasons I don’t like it - roots don’t go out of the soil easily, as it’s going to stay where the nutrients are - can cause mushy soil or a soil that moves as you have a layer upon another - costs a lot of money, when amendments will cost a fraction of the cost.

Lol I can’t get down with ya on this one my friend. Iron will run circles around that source for green and for a soil biology product humic12 is king imo hands down.

@@baims8367 i’m always working with different companies and different like phases so I couldn’t tell you as you said that this is an older video if there was a reason behind what was going on. Usually it’s because I’m demonstrating or I’m creating issues or somethings going on for content. So you’re probably more than correct

@@baims8367 what if that client has high ph and this would assist to acidify the soils, as it takes a long time to drop ph vs raise. (If we are talking about one offs). Def to match need with results on anything you do, right? You’re correct some plants (evergreens are notorious) are acidic.

@@baims8367 thanks comma since this video it’s actually changed to black and white though

@@stevenclark5450 I have a local distributor. I have had to have them fix it under warranty, so I haven’t sourced other parts further. I’m sorry.

@@nestord.delgado7300 Any time

@@brodygoalie yes no issues. If your tank your mixing them in can hold enough water to dilute them to they can be applied at the same time as well.

@@brodygoalie nope, different actions. This is opening the soil for roots to penetrate. Thatch buster is eating the material on the top of the soil.

@@pjscho8161 depends on the species of grub, we have some beetles that lay their eggs in the spring and some that lay them in the fall. Identifying which beetle is laying in your area will tell you when to apply a preventative.

@@alcambero yup Maverick gas station that I made this vid at, could of really used an overhaul for their sprinkler system for sure lol

@@brodygoalie no prob, I got you. They can be alllied at the same time, same day, and if your concentration doesn’t clog your 4 gal sprayer, you can do it in the same mix. Just add 2 gal water into your sprayer add, your products into That water then fill it up with water to the top, shake, and spray it down. Key is to water it in afterwards to push it down into the soil with in a couple hours of application.

@@TheGreenerLawn much appreciated. Question. Judy put in a couple of pieces of sod yesterday. I did throw a little starter fertilizer on the soil and a little on top and of course watering these new pieces alot. Question. Is it okay or not to spray green charge on top of this new sod that I just put in or need to wait? Thanks

@@TheGreenerLawn so how much of each product do I put into my 4 gallon sprayer? I believe it will take like 2 or 3 fills to complete 8 to 9 k SQ ft of lawn??

@@brodygoalie so calibrate your sprayer to your sprayer to your self: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j362gHt6orqgjKssi=prDvNf5bTZZUaqRq start at 3:15 , this will make it so your sprayer is calibrated and spot on. Then we will go through how much to use each time.

@@brodygoalie so it is not advisable to ever add fertilizer to brand new sod, sod farms, have it so hopped up on fertilizer when they are growing it because they’re trying to get it to grow quickly and get it off their property as quick as possible so usually when it comes to you, you have the chance of burning your new lawn by adding fertilizer. It’s one of the worst things I see people do when they get sod.So do not add anything else usually so it is good for anywhere from 6 to 12 weeks depending on what fertilizer they send it out with.

@@brodygoalie it’s not as effective as a hosing sprayer, because it’s the water that’s behind the baby shampoo that drives the baby shampoo into the soil. But you can water it after you apply to do the same thing, so don’t stress it just make sure you water deeply behind it. So for 10,000 ft.² in a 4 gallon sprayer if that goes evenly over your lawn, go ahead and apply 20 ounces of baby shampoo, as it goes a really long way. If you use a hose head sprayer it’s half an ounce instead of 2 ounces per thousand.

Well I have hose end sprayer. So for 8 k SQ ft put in 16 oz of shampoo and the rest is water? Much appreciated for your guidance and help

@@brodygoalie seriously works really well when using a hose end sprayer (remember you will not hurt anything applying too much or too little), but you really only need 4 oz in your hopper filled with water to spray across your lawn. For baby shampoo and hose end sprayer.

Okay so will pour 4 oz of baby shampoo into the hose end sprayer then fill the rest with water and that should get me through 8 k SQ ft of lawn. ?? Thanks again for your guidance and help. Unfortunately I have cognitive issues so it takes me multiple times to watch and absorb. ​@@TheGreenerLawn

@@brodygoalie go the opposite way, water then baby shampoo. It will not suds up and be a pain. Here to help and assist any way I can for you!

@@ericrissler8388 remove the watering, and you have my love life.

@@brodygoalie thatch will soak up water, to mitigate that (if it’s above 1/2”) you will need to remove it. Baby shampoo will help it get past it, as it breaks it surface tension, and so it just doesn’t get stuck on the grass. It can actually just slide past. But if your patch is too thick, it’ll soak up a lot of moisture before moisture can actually get down to your soil, so you would have to remove it or use something that will digest it like nature

​@@TheGreenerLawnso that product from yard mastery called Air 8 does the same thing? Please advise. Thanks

@@brodygoalie no, two different modes of action here. This is the exact same thing as simple lawn solutions (they use a laurel sulphate (soap)backer just like this) or other liquid areation products. Air8 is actually a certain type of potsssium product that causes micro fissures into the soil, allowing air, water and mainly roots (when paired with rgs kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJWVeIlphrGdl5osi=G2Ysdb1YeTcT3-RQ ) in to the soil. Huge difference, baby shampoo will open the soil immediately allowing water to penetrate deeply (not air or roots), helping with hydrophobic (water repelling) soils. This actually can push water feet into the soil depending on how you apply it and frequency. Air8 takes a few days to a week to open the soil up and allows air to, water and roots into the soil a couple inches. Nope, air8 is its own beast vs baby shampoo… all other aeration products are baby shampoo in essence, do not waste your money and just buy dollar store baby shampoo if you look at those. Like I said air8 is a different beast all together:

@@porkchop10 I’ll agree it has more grunt … to disagree with your faster assessment raking is 2 passes minimum, one to manually rake it, 2 to pick it up, and a perfectionist would then sweep or blow the sidewalk to get this dust off you talked about… bagging is.. start mower push mower, empty bag… (one move 🤣)

@@michaelo1492 there are clear best times of day (ahem… morning between 2 am and 10 am)to water your lawn to combat fungal pressure and mitigate evaporation loss.

@@ibizablonde yup, just use Scott’s grub ex as an easy quick kill.

@@ejleon1 no issues with laying it during seeding. You can use it as you se problems or as a preventative through out the year.

@@TheGreenerLawn thank you!

@@jasonfisher9134 the killing power of other weeds included in this. You pick up 2,4, and its multitude of weeds (read LOTS) Dicamba and it’ eradication power for woody weeds (tree shoots, and shrubs that spread in lawns) plus all those other broadleafs And Sulfentazone (another tough on grassy weeds) And of course quinclorac, that has great grassy weed control and some broadleafs as well. Your taking the power of 4 products and utilizing them for an awesome, well rounded product

@@RubyRedDances lol 100,000’s of people have watched my video for using shampoo across their lawn… no issues. Ask golf courses (where I got the idea about baby shampoo) why they use surfactants / stickers other turfs… Do NOT use antimicrobial or antibacterial and you’re fine. 🙃

@@DebraCarpenter-m7g 1.5 gal for 300 linear feet

@@user-sd8bz2zr5j yup, that’s pretty much the fix. Avoidable, though with some preplanning, hopefully used by pros.🤣

@@Rbecker26 no I chose events. Either end of season or beginning after seed stalks and then depending if you’re warm season or cool season I go sharpen cool season in august and warm season around June and September (kinda depends where and how long your season is). What grass type?

@@jason3739 couple of factors to take into account here. What’s causing it? - poor watering (fix coverage with a cup test) kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3awf6GHi7hgesU - hydrophobic soil (this is the perfect one and done or a couple apps to get soil soils moisture into the soil. Has the lawn been effected by pests, fungus or disease as it was week? This might cause tou to baby shampoo then swap to a removal method for the issue you face (secondary to a poor moisture in the soil). Over all a couple of apps help, but if it’s just hydrophobia and this opens the soil, the grass could rebound easily and quickly. Mind sending me and email with pics? [email protected]

@@carpentrylover145 some areas be like that. Where do You live? Hoe often do you mow at 3”?

@@TheGreenerLawn Michigan. It goes brown most summers but always greens back up in fall. Depending on how much rain we get it can be once a week or can go 3 weeks without having to mow

@@carpentrylover145 understood! Good stuff!

@@242-f5u nutrients are key in helping develop this new grass. A starter fertilizer will make it explode with growth, helping fill it in and be way better in the long run. Meso will not hurt anything at this stage, you’re good to use this or a stand alone starter. Did you over seed these areas of existing or just certain patches? If you didn’t overseed existing areas and you get spring weeds you could put that pre down to help block spring weeds.

@@TheGreenerLawn .. I overseeded about 1500 square feet of existing turf. Naturally, I had some bare patches, as well, after dethatching. Had to be in because I had some grub damage or something. So perhaps I will put down the starter today or tomorrow. My concern was the existing grass pushing too much and shading out whatever new turf comes in. Thank you, as always, for helping out your loyal viewers.

@@242-f5u people over think this. Understanding grass is resilient and doesn’t shade out easily (as long as it isn’t directly laying over it), but fert does wonders for baby seed that has to have nutrients to grow. Yes it will promote the existing, but it’s not as big as a problem as folks would have others believe. Always here to help. If you need one on one vs using this ever, feel free to email [email protected]

@@TheGreenerLawn Much appreciated, and for providing the one-on-one option. I prefer this because others may have similar questions.

@@242-f5u BUT the reason I hate giving direct info out here is there situation isn’t the same and for people to think general info applies to them ruins lawns or gets subpar results when it can be dialed in. I don’t mind how folks get info, but I hate when it’s mis-applied or mis-used.

And that’s your choice. For others seeing this, Per most labels chemicals are safe after dry or watered in (as per label instructions). To pull crab grass you should have hug patches, what grass type do you have?

@@The1Music2MyEars well beyond that my friend well beyond that. Back when I put this video out, I had people using 6 ounces now, like four years later I have people using half an ounce because a little goes a long way.. When I have people flush dog urine spots, I have them put down 6 ounces over 1000 ft.² like seven days in a row. Zero ill effect and it flushes the soil really well. Safe? You’re nowhere even close to her anything. And lastly, the per gallon out of a sprayer is not nearly as effective is out of a hose and sprayer. It’s not so much the concentration of the surfactant, as it is the water that pushes behind it that gets into the soil after it breaks that hydrophobic bond.

@@TheGreenerLawn Wow awesome response my friend! Have you ever tried gypsum (calcium sulfate) to break up compacted soil too?

@@The1Music2MyEars yes, it’s highly used here in Utah, it’s a long term fix, not a quick fix like this. Humic acid and gypsum does wonders for compaction / clay soils

@@nardjessechaoui4942 since I made this I have realized a little goes a long way, use 1/2 per 1000 sqft in a hose end, it’s 2 oz in a pump sprayer per 1000 sqft
