[@TriniDB]

My boy is back at it!!! I’m on this overseed journey with you as well bro! Keep up the great work. 💪🏿

[@LawnAmateur]

Yes sir I gotta get this yard right for this upcoming season. I appreciate the support

[@1WilliamsBrian]

Always amazed at how much the Sun Joe pulls out!

[@LawnAmateur]

Yea its crazy how much the thatch hides underneath the grass

[@devin9880]

more videos bro keep me motivated , I have a house too

[@CGatta71]

My lawn greened up early this year…hard work pays off…

[@LawnAmateur]

Yes it does

[@rbworthem1]

Let's get Bro! I'm already on it using your tips from last year!

[@LawnAmateur]

We back for another year. I hope all is well. I appreciate you for tuning back in

[@davidgonzales-ec8bo]

You have the best lawn

[@LawnAmateur]

Thank you

[@wayne1362]

i do my dethatch and overseed in fall P/S nor easter tomorrow night you might be getting little snow in Connecticut we have freeze warnings tonight in jersey oh well😮

[@LawnAmateur]

Me too I normally do my dethatching, aerating and overseeding in the fall myself but I missed out last fall so I had to get it done my thatch layer was too thick to let it go until this fall. My forecast ahead looks pretty good I hope mother nature doesn't throw a curve ball in there lol

[@obriancannida9572]

New to ya channel big dog! I definitely need this! Great guidance!

[@LawnAmateur]

Thank you I appreciate it

[@HomegrownHowTo]

Bro, that sunjoe is a tank! I’ve got one myself and I’m amazed at how much it pulls up, every time!

[@LawnAmateur]

Yes it is for a DIY machine especially for the price. I definitely can't complain

[@HomegrownHowTo]

@@LawnAmateur no doubt! Great work as always!

[@cristobalroman16]

Awesome video brother 👍 👌

[@LawnAmateur]

Thank you I appreciate it bro

[@nelson6936]

I appreciate the video.

[@LawnAmateur]

No problem I'm glad I could help

[@foxbodyboys4483]

Good video bro! Thanks for all the good info.. hopefully you do a video of the next steps.

[@LawnAmateur]

Thank you, I'll definitely be doing follow up videos all season long.

[@edwardopaul6585]

Great video

[@nramdeen1]

Excellent video. I'm definitely looking into getting that sunjoe dethatching machine. Well done, Sir. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@LawnAmateur]

Thank you. I'm glad I could help

[@ticky468]

Wow 😮 its amazing how much came out and luckily the front is a smaller area enough for you to rake so not too many tools lol looks good though 👍🏾 #tunedin

[@LawnAmateur]

Thank you and yea it hides underneath the grass so from the eye test it looks like nothing is there but once you start using the machine it all comes out.

[@stevedemeter5629]

You are correct. Sun Joe does the job. It's work. However the results are great.

[@LawnAmateur]

Yes it does and its very smooth. Thank you for the support

[@Nomadistar]

Thumbnail looks like you are The Reaper fighting off some Brown-Algae!

[@LawnAmateur]

🤣🤣

[@TanyaScorpio]

Hey Darryl was waiting for your videos... yes i have to thatch myself. It's still looking a ton better than previously. Yes i need to seed... I'll wait a few weeks normally Easter then I kinda doesn't get cold again... i love my Sun Joe. Here's a tip use your lawn mover to pull the thatch up.

[@LawnAmateur]

How's everything going I hope all is well I definitely understand waiting because this weather is very unpredictable here up north we got snow this past Monday so I'm glad I didn't seed earlier but I definitely started dethatching and preparing the yard a few weeks ago.

[@allensadicario5196]

Thanks brother that was awesome info how to use that machine 👍

[@LawnAmateur]

No problem I'm glad I could help and thank you for the support

[@johnlerario8068]

Love my SunJoe works great

[@LawnAmateur]

Its definitely a great tool for DIY lawn home owners to own

[@310cityboy]

Damn good 👍🏾

[@LawnAmateur]

I appreciate the support bro ✊🏾

[@DropTheBunny]

Numbers seem backward on it. Wouldnt dropping the height adjustment all the way to bottom lift the unit further off the ground, or is it adjusting the roller underneath and not the entire unit? If the highest setting is indeed at the top where have it, then labeling them as negative is backward thinking. Negative numbers are lower than positive ones haha. Like the video btw, got one of these in the mail and cant wait to use it.

[@doghouse010]

If i were your neighbor I'd want to be your intern to learn about both lawn maintenance and making youtube vidoes! How do you mic your voice? It sounds perfect coupled with the birds singing in the background! really high quality information thanks!

[@LawnAmateur]

Lol thank you. I appreciate the support

[@randyr6610]

Awsome video I just bought me a machine and I have lots of runners in my yard, should I use the blades frist? Never done this before.

[@LawnAmateur]

No you don't have to use the blades first you can use the tines. The tines will pull up all that dead material very easily. Just test out the different settings depth to see which one fits your liking on a small part of the yard first before doing the whole yard.

[@achiado1]

Have u ever tried the N- ext Dethatch product.... it's a liquid Dethatch priduct....

[@LawnAmateur]

No I haven't maybe in the future

[@netm203]

Good Job sir! You in the 203 or 860? May have to mirror my lawn season around these vids lol

[@LawnAmateur]

Thanks, I'm in the 203

[@xgtlxnooblet69]

would doing a low cut and bag before dethaching help?

[@LawnAmateur]

Most definitely cut your lawn lower and bag the clippings before dethatching. It definitely helps with the dethatching process

[@jacklavoie2523]

I will need to overseed my backyard, my weather is slightly colder than yours, from southern Indiana, next week temps will be 50s,60’s, a couple days in low 70’s but next weekend will have four days with lows in mid 30’s, my question, should I wait or overseed now?

[@LawnAmateur]

Me personally I would go for it. I've overseeded with temps mid 50s during the day and lows of 30s at night and never had any issues. As long as there is no snow popping up you should be ok.

[@jacklavoie2523]

Thanks, appreciate all you do

[@markhousman8447]

When do you think is optimal time in the spring to re-seed turf type tall fescue lawn in CT/northeast USA?

[@LawnAmateur]

I live in CT myself and I just put my Turf Type Tall Fescue seed down April 2nd. I'm confident that the weather from this point forward will be ok. No more surprising snow like last Monday 😡. 🤣🤣 I hope this helped

[@MrRtms24]

When do you start using the humic acid like you did last year? How often do you apply it?

[@LawnAmateur]

Around Early May I'll do the first application. Then maybe once a month if you want to get aggressive with the applications if your soil is in bad shape

[@SeahawkAz]

Looks to be good for my 80 k sq ft

[@musicfame]

I was just wondering what fertilizer do you use and how often do you fertilize? I enjoy your videos man!

[@LawnAmateur]

Thank you I go back and forth between scotts and milorganite throughout the season

[@musicfame]

@@LawnAmateur yea I generally use milorganite as well because I want to be organic. But I feel like my lawn is missing something so I might alternate as well with organic and synthetic fertilizers. I use humic acid every month as well

[@1WilliamsBrian]

Do a soil test....it will tell you exactly what you need or don't need. They are pretty easy and not too expensive

[@LawnAmateur]

@@musicfame you could be missing potassium if you're only using milorganite because milorganite does have potassium in it. But like the comment above said you could definitely get a soil test to find out what's missing.

[@shion_lwn]

which area/state in the US are you located? I'm in southern Ontario, Canada. Just wondered if our climate is similar

[@LawnAmateur]

I'm in Connecticut

[@DasZuberRevisits]

Man it’s insane how much material is hiding in the grass, that’s wild

[@LawnAmateur]

Yes it is, and it hide itself very well but does alot of damage to your good grass if you leave it there.

[@TDC4LJ]

I had to google what dethatching was….

[@americanpatriot4080]

That's a lot of debris in a nice looking lawn.

[@LawnAmateur]

It hide underneath the good grass eventually causes the good grass to die

[@garykellettjr4825]

Wow I can’t believe how much comes out kinda crazy…

[@380stroker]

You should probably scalp the lawn first.

[@petunias4442]

I still need to do mine too. The machine you have works nicely! Do you have a lawn care Instagram account?

[@LawnAmateur]

Thank you, this machine definitely gets the job done. And not yet I'm working on it...... coming soon
