Why DON'T you use the striping roller always (aside for reasons of filming). Is it not recommended to do this or does it have something to do with the ease in actually cutting without it? It would seem to me that if I was to make the investment in a striping roller I would plan to cut with it for every cut unless there is a reason why this would not be best case scenario. Any light you can shed on this would be highly appreciated and thank you for such an awesome (and passionate) channel!

[@GCITurf]

Before lawn striping...I am 100% about turf health. I feel that using the roller EVERY time I mow is not productive as far as turf health goes...that is the only reason why.

@@GCITurf Pete, I'd love to pick your brain on this, but this comment opens up my eyes. I purchased the Toro lawn striper kit four years ago. For the past three years, my front lawn has basically gone from being immaculate to a fungus nightmare in the summer. I'm the only lawn on my entire street that has blown up like this. I've kept the striper attached. I wonder if maybe the constant striping (and not switching the patterns) along with watering and keeping the grass high has been the cause of this. I may need to rethink my strategy completely and perhaps only strip once in awhile, maybe once every 3-4 cuts, or maybe just in the fall. The stripes look amazing, but the fungue ruined my front lawn that had been sodded in 2012. I water heavy and not everyday or at night, keep it at 3-3.5". I've put down fungicides, grub killer. This may indeed be the cause. I appreciate the thoughts here, but you're saying using the striper if there are issues in the lawn will only make it worse.

[@GCITurf]

@@birdysboy5978 I only use my roller once and a while. I don’t use it every time I mow for the very reasons you are talking about

[@birdysboy5978]

Really appreciate the reply, Pete. Watching so many videos, I think I’ve fallen in love with seeing the stripes (and add to that I’m a huge baseball fan and just love seeing that MLB stripe type of pattern in the lawn). The more I look into it, I’m thinking this is the reason my yard has gone radioactive the last three summers. I’m going to ease back on the roller. I still don’t understand how the MLB grounds crews can do it. We went out to Seattle and did the tour at Safeco, and the guide said they keep the same stripe pattern until the All Star Break and then switch it for the remainder of the year. That grass is much shorter. I don’t know. Thanks again. You’re doing great work. By the way, this is one of my fav videos because of your short talk about being a dad and what that entails. Would love to pick your brain some time. Be good.

Love your videos!!! Since 98 until 2020 I have worked with my dad putting in yards. He had started his business in 75. I can’t state how much I miss working with him because due to health he had to quit. I am so thankful for those years. Thank you to you for your videos both informatively and inspirational. It’s a beautiful witness as well. May God continue to bless you!

Happy Fathers Day! Always listen to your kids, They have their own opinion and it will be sometime different from yours. Your kids are little adults and talk to them like it! Every time my kids came home I always sat down with them and ask how their day was and I listen , If they had a bad day I said you will have more of these days and just move on!

[@ourmissouriyard3739]

Know what I like most about your videos? The fact that we can all see that you are putting in the work. You get dirty, your clothes get sweaty. You are physically worn out at the end of the videos. Many of the other top "lawntube" creators, while putting out great content and great videos, never get dirty. I don't think I have ever mowed my lawn without getting sweaty or worked with dirt, mulch etc, without getting at least a little dirty. Thanks, Pete, for keeping it real! My big league striper is in transit, can't wait to try it out!

My next door neighbor is like you. Talks about his lawn and how green it is. Funny thing his faimly is always over my house in my built in pool oasis of a backyard enjoying themselves as he's picking weeds and watering 2 times a day. Not a bad guy by who cares... I have 2 acres and the day I spend money watering grass is a day of wasted money. BTW my landscape is very well maintained. Shrub beds,flower beds and landscape lightning. Just not watering and stripping lawns when it hasn't rained in the past 2 weeks.

As an atheist, I appreciate the fact that you are strong in your faith and not afraid to talk about it even though it probably turns off a lot of folks like myself. Keep being genuine to who you are because that's what the World needs more of these days.
