I am absolutely obsessed by this channel and content. Pete provides so much great information! Just a wealth of knowledge all the time!

[@MontinqueErvin]

Pete, My husband is currently serving over seas. I was really moved by the love you showed all who have and are serving to keep us free! I am studying your videos in hopes to have the yard looking nice or with some grass still in it before hubby returns. I wish you were in Atlanta. I would cheat and have your company come and get yard on track. Wish this Army Wife luck. If I fail my mission, well at least I can turn him on to the channel once he returns!

[@jbynum67]

Hey Pete! I just want to let you know that I appreciate your personality and character. I have not been a fan long but I dont need a background to see the good in you. You convict me with your life and how much you love God. Now, the reason I'm writing is to tell you i did not doubt you for one second when you did the original probe in your yard. Some people need more convincing, more than others, due to their personal experiences. Just keep up the good work, stayed prayed up, love your family and most of all stay awesome. Peace

[@GCITurf]

John Bynum thank you friend! And I get it!!! This is VERY unusual to see this done in clay soil.

[@beteeho]

Bravo, sir. You certainly give new meaning to, "if it's worth doing, it's worth doing right." I admire your passion.

[@groussac]

Thanks Pete for sharing the concepts. The concept in fact is more important than the product. We can figure that part out for ourselves, factoring in cost, time and end result that we're looking for.

[@als2797]

Had a heat stress area in my side yard this past week. Looked into it and realized my irrigation nozzles were only rated for an 8ft spray on a 10ft area. Hit up the big box store and for less than $10 I got my irrigation right. Hate to say it but I enjoy seeing your yard with problem areas on occasion. Another great video Pete.

[@kevinbreitkreutz3678]

Very nice yard!! I enjoy your videos

[@Bkob1471]

I’ve been using the Greene County products on one side of my yard as a test plot this year after watching your videos. That side of the yard has never looked better! Zero heat stress from the Florida sun as of yet. Thanks for all you do and I can’t wait to see the new video with the Ventrac guys! 😏

[@revd6239]

Well done Pete! Solid video! Helps home owners know, it’s not always perfect! Our yards have ebbs and flows! 18oz of humic12 per 1000 sqft ehh?!?🤔 lol I always reference your compaction test results when I talk about humic products!

I agree 100 percent I had a yard that was hard as a rock ... one air8 app and I could push a long screwdriver in it that 2 weeks before wold go in a half an inch before humic acid is the real deal... the ag world has used it for years and those dudes don’t waste money on stuff that doesn’t work👍🏻

[@jayfirebaugh]

Wow! Impressive vid! Thank you!

[@Doober80]

If I had the resources, I would aerate in fall, spring and early summer. The top layer of the clay soil here almost become water tight when the temps heat up and we get no rain. It would be nice to open up the top layer to let water and nutrients penetrate deeper. I hop you have a great week bro! It was a fun holiday in these parts!

[@Travis-kw3mo]

Hey man thanks for the awesome videos. Love that hat btw

[@megabitebaits37]

I wanna personally thank you for the time you put into these videos to help people that have a passion for lawns. Very helpful and encouraging so we can see what is possible.

[@WEALRO]

Bio stimulant pack is kicking in real good thanks Pete

[@doncline6372]

Pete, just can’t tell you how much I appreciate what you do for us DYIers. I did start using the Greene County products about 30 days ago. I think I am seeing some difference. I just had a new house built in Richmond, VA last year and the sod I inherited was a mess to start with. Today, I have the best TTTF yard on the block....weed free, dense, and green. I am not as deep green as yours but it sure beats my neighbors. Sometimes I just want to ask them if I can take over part of their yards and use the Greene County products plus Milo and Ringers to bring them back. Anyways, I am a believer and I want to subscribe to the Academy program next year when I can take advantage of starting from the beginning. Keep up the great work!

[@stevenbrown6782]

Don Cline I just moved up here to from Hampton.....inherited a mess but now I'm on track ...im a ex lawn care semi peace

[@sheriffgongetcha5653]

Im new to the lawn game but ive spike aerated(manually) my lawn 3 times since laying new sod in may despite what ive read and Im down in sa,tx we've been in triple digits and drought i dont have a huge lawn but my grass is thriving! Im a believer , break up that soil!! Bio stim pack working well !

[@ronhart4166]

Those VENTRACs are amazing machines !!!! I have never been able to fit it in my budget:( People in my area never seem interested in aeration because the grasses grow so well without it . #Floridablues:(

[@aldoe9]

Hey Pete, looks like a Lesco Mechanical spreader. Do you mind letting us know what model your using or recommended? Maybe a review on spreaders? Push, Mechanical, tow behind types?

[@daflea66]

Another great vid Pete. Please dont get bored and quit them! Who the heck downvotes these?

[@viviangerard459]

i have never heard of the machine that works under ground i have my lawn arreated in the spring in bc very interesting

[@Chuy00quiles]

Man I really admire your work Pete. Beautiful lawn and landscape, keep it up! Can’t wait to get on the academy program, would you recommend me to start it now or fall or just wait until next year in the spring and start your program?

[@Doober80]

Need GCI to franchise to Tulsa Oklahoma area! LOL

[@stevenbrown6782]

Man that aerator its tight

[@bobfredericks6545]

Thanks Pete. Don’t worry about anonymous emails. To me anonymous people don’t exist. Your program absolutely works. Our lawn is living proof. Only a month and a half on the GCI Turf program and the positive difference is night and day. Long way to go but very very happy.

[@denisbrisebois7658]

Bob Fredericks totally agree w you sir. Since I live in Canada I can’t be on the same exact program but with all the tips I have learned so far and using the Bio Stimulant pack fm Greene County for the 1st Time ever this summer (I actually did my 2nd application today) I am blowing all my neighbours out of the water, it’s incredible. Last summer was a really tough summer for everyone and my lawn suffered a lot. To compare it this season with last season, I can honestly say it’s 10 times better. Thanks again Pete for sharing your knowledge with us via KZbin. I can’t thank you enough for doing so.

[@bobfredericks6545]

Denis Brisebois Pete is the man. Love his videos. Good luck with your lawn!

Another great video! You really know your stuff, and you talk to us in a way that we can understand. Can you recommend a grass seed for Pennsylvania? I have tried a few and haven't had a bit of luck! I need help! I am a struggling diy er!

[@benharrison1069]

Pete, thanks for another great video! After what you did to your yard for Independence Day I thought it might be a while before you got your yard back in order enough to do another video. While your yard was fantastic and very patriotic for the July 4th video, I was curious what did you used to color your grass? I hope that colorizing your grass did not damage your lawn too badly. Are you just going to cut your grass a little lower and give it a "haircut" and maybe bag the clippings to get rid of the coloring or can you as simply wash of the coloring by watering your lawn? Pete, I know you have worked hard in you business for years to be able to buy the various fancy machines, like the aero-vator and the motorized spreader, just to name a couple, and it's consequentially nice to have them at your disposal to do the work in your yard quickly and well. I, and probably all of us watching your videos, wishes we had easy access to machines like those to use in our own yards. Nevertheless, Pete, great video and it sure looked like you and your family and friends had a fun and safe 4th at your house. :-)

[@keithkreatives]

Pete, its funny you should post this, as I've been debating on doing this for a customer. I have this guy....(Elizabethton, Tn)....new construction, new fescue seed, w straw cover crop. When I got the account, it look sorta ok, but I noticed the grass grew very fast, yet sparse. I kept thinking "his contractor threw down WAY too much straw, and its blocking the seed". I was afraid to mess w it, but as time went on, I told the customer that he should try to rake what he could out. Now, in the heat, the grass is less and less dense, and the ground in between is hard as a rock. As far as I'm concerned, it couldn't get much worse. I told him I'm probably going to do a free aeration just because I wanna see if it'll help. Worth a shot? Then regular watering......maybe some Milo?

[@obadiah7771]

I think people wanted you to test the neighbors yard compared to yours... I believe you and I am buying some humic acid for my clay yard... God bless!!

[@GCITurf]

obadiah7771 yep. This is coming up soon

[@EaveeDoesIt]

Hey Pete, did you ever review the gear drive orbit sprinklers? I just watched one of your older videos that you used them and liked before your sprinkler system. I got them myself and they are by far the best sprinkler for me, outside of any actual sprinkler system. Easy to daisy chain too.

[@keneil01]

Impressive Pete! Im following you from Norway (close to the North Pole - haha). What type of tester are you using? Trying to search for it on ebay - would like to buy the same thing ;-)

[@johnnyutah1053]

By far the best looking yard I've ever seen. I have some heat stress sections just like your spots in my yard. What will you do to fix it? Will you make another video showing how you fix it?

What is the recommendation for aertion in the spring if soil is really compacted.

[@kevinleese8325]

Is this some of Mat Martin’s feet that your trying..... Hope it does really good if so

[@AaronCMorris]

What’s your take on aeration before and or after a preemergent app? If you do it after an preemergent app would that disturb the vapor barrier resulting in making the yard vulnerable to crabgrass? Then if you do it before a preemergent app would the holes make the app less effective because the yard has holes everywhere? Thanks in advance.

[@Methodical2]

Pete, is it ok to aerate and then put down a pre-emergence or should pre-emergence go down on undisturbed soil? Thanks..

[@bryantmountain202]

Heye Pete, what would it take for you to drive to Morganton NC and aera vate my yard? I cant find anyone that has one or a place to rent

Pete I have crabgrass in areas of tall fescue. What do you think about spraying Quinclorac 1.5L to those areas? Its in the 90s here. I am worried about damage to the fescue that is probably stressed.
