Don’t know if you’ll see this comment or not, but your new fence with the honey stain on it is amazingly beautiful. No comparison with the fence pictured here.

I live in Ga and have followed Doc for about 2 years now and my lawn has totally turned around. I follow the recommendations religiously and it has worked. I have standard Bermuda and the weeds and other grasses are almost non existent. Waiting for the humichar to get in.

How much Dumor Poultry feed are we to use per sqft?

[@dons8563]

That code for the chicken feed does not seem to work anymore. Is there another code to find the exact product?

[@Funky4me21]

very small area to care for.. I have been tending to a 4 acre yard for years now... takes some time and a large water bill but the fescue has come in nice this year..

[@TheGrainSideUp]

Central Texas here. Interesting....our yards are looking almost the same. My back yard looks like yours green and mean. My front yard is looking like yours a bit sleepy. You see I put out PGF at 1.5x the rate in the backyard after scalping, but I ran out before I could get to my front yard and my neighbors. Lol I have started spraying Super Juice spray with a bit of the farm lawn food from your OG version of SJ. My front yard is coming along, but not as close to my front yard. I am going to follow your lead this year and keep my lawn short until my hot months. My big bag of PGF will be here later this week. Keep up the great work!

[@HowTowithDoc]

Peace out.

I’m going to have to do some micro boosting to my back yard I just rehabbed. It’s just junk soil now. But planting in the spring.

Thx Doc. About to fertilize my Bermuda for the first time! It’s mostly out of dormancy.

[@lubblegarage]

How often do you apply this? Sorry if I missed something.

[@ralphb4012]

What is the negative of putting down the organic without humichar or biochar? Humichar and biochar are a bit out on the high side of my budget. Can i put down small amounts of organic since the weather will be above 80?

[@alexlandscapes4892]

Can you use pgf complete in late summer?

Can you still use humic acid with the huma char a d fertilizer? I have very compact clay soil in San Antonio.

@Doc - What’s your recommendation for the amount of Recharge to add with the Superjuice?

[@bri0164500]

Doc. Just picked up my organic matter. PGF should be here on Sunday! Can the organic matter be added with the PGF complete? Also should I wait and add these after my upcoming aeration or apply now. Thanks, Doc

[@emeryhvac1023]

Another great video Doc. Thank you from Delaware

[@notaverygoodguitarplayer]

Is there a video of how to do those stepping stones leading to your pool? I love that and have never understood how to do it.

[@HowTowithDoc]

Yes, two years ago on the channel.

[@notaverygoodguitarplayer]

Is there a spreader settings chart for the poultry feed you could post on the product page? I have a cheap Scott's Edge Guard mini rotary spreader and not sure what setting to use.

[@ronaldstewart9629]

hey doc i love your video's but i live in fla and have a nice thick beautiful st augustine lawn do these actions work on my type of grass

Does this organic fertilizer work with centipede and also does humichar work with centipede?

Regarding your chicken feed recommendation-I can’t find a brand name or a list of products

[@henrytaylor69]

Great video fantastic website just to bad super juice a PGF complete can't be sold in calif most of Andrews product can't be sold in calif. I'm just trying everything and anything but thanks for the tips I can use.

[@jyoung1305]

Doc any idea when humichar will be available on amazon?

[@atshipp21]

Hey doc love the video and post! Can’t wait until the humichar is in stock and I can put all of this down on my lawn! Hope you and your family are doing well and aren’t getting too stir crazy during this time(I know we are). I haven’t seen any videos or posts this year(other than the Bermuda lawn guide) of you putting out dimension this year? Have you decided not to for your lawn(based on need or whatever) or are you still waiting for the right time? I’m trying to decide whether or not I should. I have no plans of overseeding, but I have sprigged a couple of places, and was planning on sprigging several more places. I read on the dimension bottle to not sprig until 3-4 months after application. Wanted to get your advice. Have you had any trouble with sprigging after dimension application? Also, I have already put out a medium application of barricade around end of February. Thanks and stay safe!

[@johndimarzio8966]

my county just banned all fertilizers (unless theyre organic). Any suggestions for ways to control weeds and grow strong grass?

[@larrycrum6673]

You say to use one teaspoon of the micro pack. Is that one teaspoon per 1000 square ft in the mixture?

[@HowTowithDoc]

For the whole batch.

[@-DexterMorgan-]

so how many tsp treat 1000 sq ft?

[@bawipengcin8591]

1st of all thank you for sharing.i am home owner and trying to reseed my lawn because I spray weed and grass killer by mistake last year. I am trying to reseed at the end of August this year because I live in Indiana. I would like to know what type of fertilizer and name brand I should use with seeding. I bought The Andersons Organic Humic DG Granular Soil Conditioner (Humic Acid), 40lbs Bag : Fertilizers : Garden & Outdoor from Amazon as you mentioned on your video, can I used that as soon as spreading new seed. Can I spray super juice after reseeding too. I am doing lots of research and watching videos before I reseed to avoid making mistake . I start watching your videos and it give me lots of knowledge. Since I have never taking care of lawn myself before, I am kind of confused and lost. Please kindly advice me. Thank you again

[@dustinzigmond371]

Hey Doc I have some Zoysia grass that got mixed in when I put tiff 419 sod down. Is there any way to kill the zoysia without killing the Bermuda? The zoysia seems to be over taking the Bermuda.

[@victropolis]

When is there microbial activity?

[@deals4hb]

Hey Doc.. morning.. can we apply organic material and spray super nice with microbial without humichar? Humichar is not available now in Amazon. Thank you

[@HowTowithDoc]

Yes as long as your temps are up.

[@markglonek490]

Do you do the same for Kentucky blue grass

[@fredrubble4305]

How often should I put down the new organic material? Once a month?

[@HowTowithDoc]

Yes, that's about right.

[@LittleRapGuy]

What Miropack?

[@thessclark1882]

I did as instructed but did not take me to the product.

[@johan-zs8nc]

We don’t have these products in Australia ? Or they just probably named differently?

What about Milo ie Milorganite? Can be used on Lawn-Trees - Garden & Flowers

[@HowTowithDoc]

6-4-0 is not a good ratio.

[@dons8563]

Could you address watering with urban water supply (ie. chlorine and chloramine in the water). Will it kill the microbes etc? How would you get around that?

[@HowTowithDoc]

That's what we have... and no issues.

[@user-mz7ub9bi1d]

So you have to use the microbial pack or it doesn’t work? This isn’t really cheap if you have to buy a $30 product on top of it for each treatment

[@HowTowithDoc]

No... if the temps are high enough and conditions are right it's fine without.

Can you put down the microbial pack if you just did the grub and Fungus treatments? The microb pack has good fungus in it.

[@tfmajka13]

Hi Doc, love your videos. Will humic acid lower the pH of my soil?

[@HowTowithDoc]

No... that's really not it's job. Use a product designed just for that purpose such as sulfur so you can control the amounts.

[@tfmajka13]

I guess Humichar won't be available for a long time. I cannot get Humic DG either.

[@christopherbagshaw6247]

Hey doc, thanks for the videos! I was wondering your opinion on how to rid my lawn of fescue and also grassy weeds (quackgrass, dallisgrass) that I don't want. I have some very nice bermuda patches and more Bermuda throughout the lawn. Would keeping it cut short throughout the summer allow the Bermuda to take over, or is there a killer (other than non selective) that you would suggest? I have pre emerge down as well as lime and ferts that you have suggested. Would appreciate the help. Thanks again!

[@tyuhles]

hey man, same situation i had this previous year. I used all of the recommended products per Doc, and the fescue survived the summer. at time times it would just turn yellow, but the bermuda never took its place. in february as the fescue woke up i went around with round up and just killed it all. NOW the bermuda is filling in those areas. so Id find a way to kill that fescue and then push your bermuda in this season. best of luck.

Doc. What do you think about malorgnite? Its $13 a bag in my area.

[@HowTowithDoc]

Stopped using years ago. PHOS too high and dogs roll in it.

[@preformancemustang]

How To with Doc I understand that but i was asking your thoughts on how good it works and your opinion on using it.

[@HowTowithDoc]

ALL LAWNS... need a 4-1-2 ratio unless a soil test shows otherwise. The high phos will cause issues if you get a spike.

[@preformancemustang]

How To with Doc so why dont you recommend on centipede grass?

[@saikman]

Hey Doc. Love the channel. Have you ever tested peat moss as an organic supplement? The Landzie Compost & Peat Moss Spreader works awesome. Nice even layer. I'd just like to know what you think about peat moss.

[@anthonylovelady4769]

Doc, Can you just put down Humic DG with the organic matter or does it need Humichar? Thanks for all you do

It won't do the same as the biochar but yes... it will help.

Chicken feed / humic has been used for a long long time in lawn care.

So what product is a must to use with the chicken feed if humichar is not available? The super juice or the microbial pack?

[@raphaelrivera6063]

I'm not very happy, I bought the pre emergent and because of the weather here I still haven't been able to drop it. But thinking positively it will give me time to wait for the humichar.

[@daniels.904]

Hey Doc. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Im trying to turn a weed yard into a Bermuda yard. Currently in north texas, / weather is heating up and the rains are coming. Due to the current supply chain I'll have super juice before the PFG complete arrives by perhaps 1-2 weeks. Would you go ahead with super juice application before PFG arrives? The lawn has been pre emergent treated already. Thank you sir 👍

[@HowTowithDoc]

Sure... just treat the weeds as soon as possible.

[@jeffdugan2846]

I live in Michigan and need to know when should you apply the emergent?

[@CP-rm7rz]

pre-emergent : soil temp low 50s , get a thermometer or check temp with your zip here www.greencastonline.com/tools/soil-temperature

[@catm4393]

Jeff Dugan .....apply pre emergent when soil temps are just reaching 55 degrees You can find the soil temperature in your area at www.greencastonline.com/tools/soil-temperature
