Feed Your Lawn

There are three easy things for a nice lawn. Mow it, Feed it and Water it. Thats it. it is that easy. I feed my lawn every three to four weeks during the season. In this video i will show you what the difference is between a lawn that is fed and a lawn that is not. I also will tell you what I use throughout the growing season and how I apply it. I don't worry about measuring the pounds of fertilizer. I use Scotts fertilizer along with a Scotts spreader and just set the spreader on the bags recommended setting and I throw it down. It cant be any easier than that.

That’s great just tell it, like it is 👍🏻

Strong domination line. That lawn is looking great, sir.

[@aroundthehousewithpat31]

Thank You! It is! But I’m not even trying to do that. Thanks for watching!

I get Sam Elliot vibes from this gentleman, and that is pretty damn cool. Solid video, thank you.

[@aroundthehousewithpat31]

😂 I have heard that from others. 😂 Thank You for your nice comment.

Now with the hot weather here in the pacific northwest I'm going to mow my grass at 4 inches. A few days ago i dropped my spreader with fertilizer inside on accident and the pile burned a small area on the lawn. LoL. Oh well I'll reseed. Anyway, you are straight to the point. No BS. Love it. Keep it comin.

[@aroundthehousewithpat31]

It’s about to get real hot here. We are going into a heat wave next week with temps in the mid 90’s to 100 and it supposed to be very dry. It’s about to get ugly for lawncare here. Lol. I once accidentally dropped a pile of fertilizer on the lawn. I was out there with a shop vac cleaning it up to avoid a dead spot. I’m sure a looked ridiculous doing it but it worked. Thanks for your comment!

Man I wish I stay next to you. You would think your grass is lime green.

Beautiful home! Just seeded my backyard here in Vegas and have seen great growth despite the hot temperatures but I’ve had to water it more. Used Smart Seed

[@aroundthehousewithpat31]

Thank You! Good luck with your new lawn. Water is definitely your friend when it comes to new seed.

I use Green Max only all year long. I'm in Canada, so we have snow. If the ground isn't frozen, I will fertilize anyway. I run a three week schedule. I fetilize with the rain cycle if I can. I don't weigh it because once you see how much you need, the quatity would be the same. I use a hand spreader set on whatever number it takes to run out as I walk the lawn. I have a huge "domination line" between me and the neighbours. What is great about Green Max is that you can determine the uptake by the lawn greening up. I water every other day in the heat. I don't use a sprinkler because the areas by the hot driveway and hot curb (where people walk on ) need more water. Mow with a sharp blade because it does make a difference when you shred the lawn instead of slice. The shreds dry out and turn brown on the peaks of the blades. Bag the grass clippings so they don't fall between the blades of grass and choke the grass out. Remove debris ASAP so it doesn't choke the grass out. I run KB, Fescue, Perennial Rye mix. when it gets hot, the KB will go a little dormant, but I'm mowing taller then, so you don't see it. One final thing you do need is soil amendment. In an area with less than ideal soil, the uptake from the grass isn't as high. I used powdered Humic/Fulvic acid with powdered seaweed extract. The lawn will then uptake the fertilizer even easier and be more drought resistant. All you need is a Scotts hose end sprayer. Add powder to water, stir, pour in sprayer and apply to lawn. I did this last night just before it rained so I didn't have to water it in.

Thanks For Your Comment! You are pretty much doing exactly what I do. I’m not even trying to dominate the neighbors. I could cut what I do in half and still have a greener lawn. His lawn is nice it just lacks food. If he would feed it just a few times it would look green. I have put humic acid down in the past but it’s been about 2 seasons since doing that. Like you I used the powdered form and used an ortho hose end sprayer. I do have some but just haven’t thrown it down. Your comment will have me doing so now since you mentioned it. I really didn’t see a difference in my lawn when I was using it but you are right that it helps the lawn with nutrient uptake. I DO NOT DO SOIL TESTING. 😂 I don’t think as a homeowner you need to. I Mow I Feed and I Water. that is it. It has worked for me for almost 40 years and I am staying with what works not to mention it’s easy. ThankYou for watching!

@@aroundthehousewithpat31 I was late with the Humic/Seaweed this year. Usually I get a green up from GreenMax within 3 days of putting it down. This didn’t happen this year. I put the Humic/seaweed down a week later and got a green up in two days.

[@aroundthehousewithpat31]

@@Todd.T oh wow. Maybe I’ll spray some humic acid since I have it. It can’t hurt it. It’s a good day here for me. Finally getting some rain here today after going a week without any. I did a round of green max a few days ago expecting rain but it never rained as was predicted.

[@SilitoRivera-bz5vi]

how did you divide the line between both lawns

[@aroundthehousewithpat31]

Great question. The spreader I use is a Scott’s rotary Edge Gaurd spreader. So there is a little Gaurd door on the side of the spreader that blocks the fertilizer from being thrown on the one side. I just walk the spreader down the property line with the Gaurd engaged and the fertilizer does not go on my neighbors grass

You got to ring your neighbors door and confiscate his white New Balance shoes.

No issues applying every month in July and August?

[@aroundthehousewithpat31]

I do not. I have a sprinkler system so the lawn is well hydrated.

[@followrobthomas]

Would you if you didn't?

[@aroundthehousewithpat31]

@@followrobthomas Oh Wow. Your putting me on the spot here. 😂 I would still fertilize but I would dial back the setting on my spreader to maybe 3 and I would only fertilize when there is rain in the forecast and I would only do one application each month. Having irrigation I fertilize on a rolling 3 week timing. If I felt I wasn’t getting enough water I would be out there moving a hose end sprinkler around. I have never had my lawn go dormant in the summer having a cool season lawn. I always did what I had to do with watering to prevent it from going dormant. It definitely is challenging in July and August with no irrigation system and a cool season lawn.

Iron.

[@aroundthehousewithpat31]

I have put iron down from time to time but I found that using the green max I really don’t need to and the green max does contain some iron. Thanks For Watching!

[@mikesecor6074]

I just mow when needed, it rains too much. Must be a hobby
