Basic Lawn Care Definitions

[@mwoody1958]

Pete, I fell in love with lawn care when I was 14. That was 50 years ago. Throughly enjoyed watching this video and seeing your products of choice.

[@jerrysims2476]

I think it’s time to have your own show! I watch it daily, Pete!

[@revd6239]

Yepppp....I'm looking at old video because it's almost SPRING!!!!

[@anthonymontes9425]

came here for some some advice on grass management and got a little Gospel as well! Love the videos. God Bless!

[@cooperw22]

I watched a lot of video’s about this topic trying to understand this. And that helped a lot. Thank you from south central Kansas!

[@JPU89]

You are awesome! I am a new homeowner and have been trying to learn from your videos to care for my new yard. I watched your videos in the past and sometimes it was like you were speaking another language. Now things are more clear. Thanks

[@denisbrisebois7658]

Another awesome videos. There is no stupid questions...just something misunderstood does not mean that the person is dumb. Pete, thanks for what you do !

[@GCITurf]

Denis Brisebois Quite true

[@rjon5624]

Pete Your 101 video is very informative. Nobody knows it all. Your knowledge and first hand experience is helping all of us have a better lawn. Thank you!

[@debbieduncan-sargent1276]

Pete you just made me remember a shipper we moved! The man split atoms for a living, but could not figure out how to put the shipping bolts in the back of his washer! God put a multitude of people on this earth. We’re here to help each other! Thank you for being a wonderful steward of the soil and education the many masses coming your way! GOD Bless you and yours!

[@bigjong.2176]

Great video Pete!!!! I thought I knew something until I watched this video. My wife and I enjoy watching all the different subjects you cover. We are in Charlotte and trying g to start new grass in the back, approximately 6400 sq ft. And salvage our sod in the front, approximately 2k sq ft. Can you recomend a good Humic product? Thanks again Pete, Jon G.

Always good to review the basics. Geat video.

[@kevinleese8325]

This was a awesome video Kevin GO WILD CATS lol Pete had to have some fun

[@Garage732]

Thanks for the wealth of info Pete. I am a DIY that has a company fertilize for me. I’m happy with them but wish to start fertilizing myself as I enjoy the yard. Bio Stimulants, is there a specific time to put those down? I plan on joining the Academy and getting seed this fall when I need oversees. Thanks

[@billhults8629]

I'd like to think I have a bit more on the ball than some, but even the basic info has some nuggets you didn't know...for me, in this vid, it was systemic vs. contact for fungis and bugs. Good stuff. Makes all the difference in knowing when to use what!

[@Cenlalowell]

Definitely learned something systemic and contact never knew this

[@kevinleese8325]

Pete what do think is the best for grub worms I have Already have seen some this year in my lawn

[@tonygring5533]

How do you get on the list to possibly be picked for the bio stimulant package I am a subscriber and have been for a while I'm not sure if I missed something that I needed to sign up for

[@GCITurf]

Tony Gring if you are subscribed you’re on the list friend. Thank you for watching .

[@Grassology-vs1hn]

Pete, I have 5,000 sq feet of turf what do I mix prodiamine per 1000 and how much RGS to add to that ?

[@GCITurf]

Grassology4610 3oz/1000 of RGS. And go by the label rate on the prodiamine. If you are an academy member you can email me this same question [e-mail]

[@Grassology-vs1hn]

GCI Turf Services, so 12 oz for 4 gallons of water ? I don’t have any labels for the prodiamine

[@ricrenee2803]

Nailed it! I’m just learning, so for me, it would have been nice to see or for you to recommend a brand you can find in the big box store. Still a great video. Thank you.

[@GCITurf]

Ric Renee I would have to buy them and test them to see how well they work before I could give you my word on them. I simply prefer commercial grade products simply because of cost and effectiveness.

[@ricrenee2803]

GCI Turf Services I am so sorry. You have a store of your own products, why would you recommend anything else! Lol. My apologies.

[@GCITurf]

true this is...but seriously I have no clue how those big box store products work. i wish I could tell you what to use...but, I just don't know friend sorry

[@jordanrichards9220]

Hey Pete, what’s the best way to get rid of fairly well established wild violet in tall fescue? Thanks! Love the channel

[@jordanrichards9220]

[@GCITurf]

NO sir. Thats a little out of our reach. Sorry

[@benharrison1069]

Another informative video, Pete. Thanks! Pete, since you stated in this video that you don't know how crabgrass grows I thought I would pass this along to you and others. Not to plug another KZbin channel but there is a guy called the Lawn Care Nut (actual name is Allyn Hane) that I know you are familiar with but others may not know of him (search "Lawn Care Nut" on KZbin for his videos). He has been doing lawn care videos for years. One of his videos illustrates very well the life cycle of crabgrass. If you haven't already seen this video, you (and others) may want to watch it and learn how that weed grows and when and how is the ideal way to attack crabgrass. He, too, makes informative and entertaining videos about lawn care. Take a look at it. Nobody knows everything and we can always learn more from each other.

[@GCITurf]

Ben Harrison ha ha. LOL. That’s funny. I simply said it that way to keep the video as simple as possible so that the utmost novice would understand the basics of what these chemicals do. Yes, I know Allyn and he’s a smart guy. But take my word I am extremely versed in most all life cycles of pretty much any weed of grass you can think of. I’ve been doing this for a living a very long time. Again, a lot of my vids are “dumbed” down so that first timers can “get it”. Not calling anyone a dummy but sometimes things taught in their simplest form are best learned. 😎 great comment!

[@benharrison1069]

GCI Turf Services Pete, I hope that you didn't take my previous comment as an insult. It certainly was not intended that way. If you did, I apologize. I would, of course, think you would know about various plant and weed life cycles so your statement on the video surprised me a bit. Allyn does explain crabgrass life cycle well for those that might want to know more. I do agree that to teach a group of people with varying degrees of knowledge it is best to go for the lowest common denominator so that everyone can understand what you are trying to teach. That way all will have the same stepping stones to a better education. Thanks for all your great videos, Pete. I am learning a lot from you and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experiences with all of us.

[@GCITurf]

Ben Harrison no worries bro. It’s all good. I just tend to keep things low key is all. Keep it simple so folks can understand. Just with till the Natural Adjuvant Video! 😎

[@JsCrazyCutzLLC]

Hey I'm one of those guys who is just starting to experiment with his yard with fertilizer and post emergent herbicide . I've never used a pre emergent yet. Im in Louisiana (St. AUG.)They say put it down before ground temps get in 50's. How long does it last on the ground? Can I just put it down in early Feb?

[@GCITurf]

Thats too much info to type out. Short answer in your area mid feb should be good. Read the label for the rates

[@PaulsPrimeCuts]

J's Crazy Cutz, LLC not Pete it’s Paul, usually the rule of thumb is for spring apps is to get it out before the dogwoods bloom. It doesn’t prevent all weeds just the ones with seeds that will germinate in spring crabgrass is the biggie. How long it last varies sun light breaks it down fast so if the grass is very thick and the ground is shaded it could be effective for months if a lot of sun light hits it it would be much shorter

[@jrrn96]

Great video Pete...I've got dormant sod that has visible crab grass - Never Been mowed...new house...while that crab grass is 3 inches taller than the grass should a go on a spray it with some blue marking die and tenacity. PS..I've got a bag of your premium turf seed I plan on watering in about 6 to 8 weeks after I deal with these weeds. I'm back n forth...Just do the seeds here in the next 2 weeks or take out them weeds while I know where they are because it's new grass never been cut.

[@GCITurf]

I need to see what you are calling crabgrass. Email me some pics of this [e-mail]

[@jrrn96]

Appreciate it, really excited to have my first lawn, my Honda mower I scooped up on black Friday - gotta figure out the best way to do striping yet probably 3inch pvc, sand, and some brackets, and lastly I'm excited about the best blend of no weed grass seed ever know to man. 👌Thanks!

WOW!!! Yeah gotta spray the right thing in the right place! Thats a FACT!!!

[@rbljackson]

Pete....when using the bio stimulant packages, do we need to also have the adjuvant starter pack as well in order to get the PH right for the applications? IM a bit confused on that part....Please advise, and thanks!

[@GCITurf]

Not really you don't need the adjuvant. But I can say that I do not spray a liquid solution without an adjuvant in the tank......ever. The pH adjustment is specific to Natural Adjuvant...lowering the pH has nothing to do with the bio's

Just to pull some math out, there are 8,000 different possible NPK combinations of fertilizer (20 cubed). The effective number of fertilizer options is actually 7,999 (I'm sure that 0-0-0 is largely useless)
