Obsession is not a healthy thing to indulge. If it's a hobby and an escape from work, that's different, but just don't become a yard-care Nazi who gets bent out of shape if your neighbors don't share your obsession. In the bigger picture of human virtue, lawn care is near the bottom of the list.

Haha. Moved to the northwest from the south. I never had to water a yard or even care for one when living in south. Now that I live in a more arid region, I have been obsessed with watering and mowing my grass to get it just right

We had a terrible lawn when we purchased our house in Pennsylvania 2 years ago. Lots of brown dirt, patches of unhealthy grass, and lots of stones/rocks everywhere! With your help it's beautiful now. It was a lot of work, but my hubby and I saved it. The best thing we did was spread about 7 yards of topsoil an inch deep all over the yard. Talk about getting some exercise! (not like spreading mulch which is half the weight!) Then we put the seed down, watered it, and we have a lush green lawn now 2 months later. Love ya, man.

Great video! Learnt allot. My wife and I just purchased a house in Fort Lauderdale, the previous owner didn’t do anything for the lawn, now have allot of work cut out for me and paying a lawn guy was a big mistake as they cut it too short and killed a large patch. As soon as I purchase a lawn mower and all the required tools it will change for good.

[@mqbitsko25]

I live in a high desert area with alkaline soil. My regimen: I water 3 times PER YEAR, but I flood the lawn. I mow 3 or 4 times, max. If you stand back about 50 yards and squint it looks great.

Thanks for the milorganite tip, I noticed the last number was 0. Years ago they used to say if you wanted to get rid of clover use a fertilizer with the last number 0 or close to it. The clover was taking over two large areas of my lawn last year. This year I used the milorganite you suggested and no more clover.

… I’ve never in my life heard of a lawn tech ~ I’m guessing this is something you have in America 🤷🏻‍♀️ we cut our own grass over here (uk) unless you’re really lazy and then you’d simply pay a gardener or a local kid a tenner or £20 to cut ya grass

[@alexfred8789]

@@autumn5852 I do fertilizer and chemical applications for lawns. Here in America or at least state by state there are different requirements like passing a test first to become a registered technician then go onto different categories like lawn weed control applications or insect applications.

I want to thank you for getting me to switch to Milo. It has made my yard come alive. I do not use the 11 setting on my scotts rotary spreader, as recommended on the Milo bag. I have about 2,500 sq. Feet in my front yard, so I use the 7 setting and it dumps a bag on my front lawn. I use the same setting in the back yard with a second bag and it will cover the back yard and both side yards, also about 2,500 sq. Ft. I want to put down some preemergent but I still have to much grass seed that has not come out, yet. I am pushing this application back until the first week in May. I am putting out milo about every 4 weeks in order to build up the organic content in my soil, otherwise known as concrete in some locations.

There's a lot of useless misinformation out there. It's refreshing to see someone giving basics and not recipes. I'm not a lawn nut but I am a garden nut and everything you say applies to PLANTS.

Beginner lawn tips? Thank u thank u thank u. I bought a gorgeous lawn and now it’s pitiful ha! I love doing my own lawn as I love being outdoors and getting some activity! Gives me an excuse to postpone other pressing needs... but ah I needed this A few thoughts: 1. Mowing every 3 days or twice a week sounds a bit much 2. Normally we don’t have much issues with water but I prob need a watering or two

Mowing is NOT the most important thing. Eating, breathing, and drinking beer is your most important thing (or else you'll be dead), then you can mow if you want. Or you can sit on your super wide recliner and mow only once every summer, and that's in Florida. Like some people I know. Let the grass grow until it reaches your waist, with all kinds of seeds that stick to your clothes.

Hey Allyn, based on your recommendations I resodded my 25 year old weed infested St. Augustine lawn with ProVista. It has been everything you mentioned and I love it. One question what is the optimal amount and dilution of RoundUp to spot spray stubborn weeds? Also, my lawn is not dark green, any suggestions for additional minerals? Thanks!

[@chillwill2673]

Hey Garry, did you ever figure out how to get it dark green? I have St. Augustine as well. Have you tired Turf builder?
