@@jaimepadilla9548 thank you so much. I will actually have a video on how to run an aerater soon. You can go up to 5 passes in St.augustine grass. I recommend 2 to 3 for most lawns. Each pass should be in a different direction to maximize coverage.

Real Deal

[@bettercallchadd]

Thank you!!

[@frankiecesenes5538]

First thing you should do is test your soil prior to any application, that way you know which npk you need to use because too much of any of those and you are in trouble so if you deside not to test your soil, you need get something that is level across the board like 14/14/14 or 5/5/5 just an example.

[@bettercallchadd]

You can't test Nitergeon levels in soil unfortunately.

[@senorpappy6556]

Great video Chad. Simple and to the point. We are considering firing our $80/application lawn service. We live close to the ocean just north of Daytona Beach. If we continue our bi-monthly regiment to treat our St. Augustine, what are your N-Ph-P recommendations for Spring, Summer and Fall/Winter?

[@PONYBOY1443]

I have a fair bit of bare spots in my lawn. Would more phosphorus be beneficial or should I stick to more nitrogen and potassium?

I got my soil results back and I was high in all three and copper for st Augustine what’s next for me to do?

How does your lawn look? With those test results your lawn should be in pretty good shape. Is it thick, healthy, and green?

I'm trying to seed this weekend with zoysia grass seed, what fertilizer do you recomend. As a starter fertilizer????

[@Folkintherye]

My st augustine is dormant.. some areas are green but mostly yellow brown. Its been mowed weekly and watered weekly. We are getting close to spring.. should I thatch, aerate then fertilize? Im new at this.

[@bettercallchadd]

Check out some other videos on the channel. I go into detail about spring treatments. You cannot thatch St.augustine grass. Aeration and fertilization will be great, though. You will want to wait until march/april before doing all that. Check out my spring fertilization videos for more details!!

I heard on a different channel it was ( up, down, all around) just asking if that’s true .. I get from you it’s ( up, side, down). Please let me know thank you

[@bettercallchadd]

Thanks for the comment!!! Really neither way is technically wrong. I wouldn't say phosphorous for down because you don't want to use a lot of it. If you are going for root growth and needed to apply a lot of fertilizer potassium would be the best route. Potassium does more then just help the root system so saying all around for potassium is accurate as well. But for shrubs phosphorous is what will make the bloom. You would not want to add phosphorous to a shrub for root growth because it will use its energy to bloom. That's why potassium would be the best for down (roots). Phosphorous would be better for side growth and blooms. I hope this answers your question!! Thank you for the support.
