How To FIX Your CRAPPY LAWN for Guests // Results in 7 DAYS!!! (Double Dark Green)

[@shion_lwn]

Hello from Canada! I came to your channel from LCN. I'm very impressed by your knowledge and videos! I'm super new to lawn care. Learning a lot from you :) I do not have easy access to Surfactant and many other weed control products/fertilizers from the US..but at this point of my level, I need to learn when and how to use fert/weed killers and other basic stuff. Excited to watch more of your videos!

[@markg6860]

I'm mowing my St Augustine twice a week at the moment here in Texas. It's growing like crazy!

[@CDPMATH]

Hi Mark, I have St Augustine grass as well. Just wondering how often you water it and what fertilizer do you use to get explosive growth. I’m in Southern California. Thank you.

[@markg6860]

@@CDPMATH I throw down some Scotts Weed N Feed (for Southern Lawns) in the spring, just to keep weeds under control. I then drop some Milorganite a couple of times during the growing season. I water a couple of times a week, even during the hot weather, just to make the roots go deep. My grass seems to grow faster than my neighbors, but I mow twice a week (at about 3.5"), which makes a lawn much thicker. (Mine feels like carpet). I hand-sharpen the mower blade every few mowings and I use a grass box about a third of the time, just to prevent possible thatch build-up.

[@Gettingthebasicsdone]

My Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue is about 4". Should I put a Scott's summer guard fertilizer down in July?

Your blooper reels at the end are gold.

[@LawnJourneys]

I did the DD for Memorial Day and it’s went well. Going to hit it again this week for the 4th!

[@andyslawncareandoutdooradv]

Great tips Jake! I put down Milo and DD 5 weeks ago and the color is still holding well BUT.... TruGreen came and sprayed several neigbors lawns and put down fertilizer. So today I put down Purely organic(aka Ringer lawn restore clone) along with DD. Perfect timing for 4th of July!

[@Iexpedite1]

If I may, the cheated iron works on the leaves but doesn’t help much on the ground. I put down 7-0-0 using an Ortho on two different lawns. I got a decent green-up. I later purchased a powered backpack sprayer and tried it with that.. I built an adapter so that I could use teejet nozzles. I put the 7-0-0 down at the labeled rate mixed with two quarts of water per 1K...dark, dark, dark. The low water volume ensured the mist of iron/water stayed on the foliage instead of being washed away by 2 gallons of water per 1K that the Ortho puts out. Added bonus, I used a flat spray nozzle and two passed to put down the 2qts of water. The flat nozzle enabled me to get close to Fences and sidewalks without overspray.

[@TheLawnSensei]

Going to put down your coined DD next week! First time ever and can’t wait to see results specially on the front lawn where is looking already amazing!

[@brandonhyden9454]

Dropping the knowledge. Lawn domination. You got that right JTLK. Love it. 🤣🤣🤣

[@abernad0544]

We are in Georgia, we purchased the N-ext Rgs, Air-8, Humic-12, Microgreene for Bermuda. How should we mix this cocktail? When mowing, what length should we now the grass? Can we use N-ext system with weed killer Blindside?

[@JakeTheLawnKid]

You can mix all four together at 3oz/1000 each. Bermuda does well at 2.5" with a rotary cut. No problems with the blindsided either.

[@abernad0544]

Thank you

[@jamzach4]

Thanks Jake !! Giving a Double Dark treatment on Tuesday getting ready for the Fourth !! Can’t wait

[@saliston]

Good info love the end

[@Brendan6602]

That meso 4c select weed control what’s the base iron or 24D?

[@AsLawnandLandscaping]

Great video bro. Going to do a video getting my lawn ready. Can't wait to stripe it up!

[@themowerman]

Grass is going brown here just had so much heat.. good video mate

[@stevekarch8505]

Jake, Im planning on doing the DD for the first time. Temperatures are 87 high in afternoon here,can i spray early am (70’s)even though its hot in the afternoon? Let it sit on turf for 24 hrs before irrigation?

[@jimmartin9711]

I have the same question, looking forward to hopefully a answer.

[@upscalelawncaremonroe408]

Real good info, stripes always set you apart!

[@liamslawncare9300]

Love the video keep them coming

[@torotodd3028]

I know this is 2 weeks later but Jake I have many years of experience with zero turns and you should change the pattern of the strips every week! You can leave ruts in the lawn and it will mess up the cut quality! And it don’t look to good when it happens!!!

[@grassgr00mer88]

Hey Jake, would you recommend the ortho or electric sprayer for the double dark application?

[@JakeTheLawnKid]

Either or works perfectly fine 👍💯

[@michaelbotto4382]

What height do you cut your lawn at

What hight do you cut your lawn at

No rain up in northeast hurting bad

[@MICHIGANMIKE12]

Same in Michigan... gonna be nice next 8 days no fireworks, no parties, just doing the mow and putting down the water which we have plenty of right now.... enjoy the mow.....and double dark.

[@richp5064]

How about triple dark....2 weeks out I put out Xgreen 8-1-8 at 6 pounds per 1000...so .48 N/1000. Adding K for plant stress and iron. Then 1 week out hit it with the double dark. BOOM!!! TRIPLE DARK

[@MICHIGANMIKE12]

Triple green...

Thanks Jake but no partying here.. for a while. Rona roni🤢 cool video🤙

Aww yes, no one wants the coofer around.

Where’s the link for the microgreene. Is that available at any store?

I got that same tie hanging out your closet

3.5-4” on KBG and Rye and my clients would call it shaggy.

Jake where do you get the Meso 4C your talking about?

[@aryanhernandez5336]

Great video! Btw, I have a question. When you were younger, maybe 12, 13, 14 years old, how did you manage both your business and school at the same time. I've been wondering this for a while now. Thanks!

[@JakeTheLawnKid]

Simple. I just make time for the things I want to do.

[@markg6860]

Check that room for allergens and possible mold. If you have an a/c system, those can be problematic for some people.

So no crisscross patterns then?

[@stevemilewski4995]

Higher Lawn = more moisture = FUNGUS!!!!

[@JakeTheLawnKid]

That's part of why I typically recommend mowing 2x/1 week or more. The act of mowing provides airflow down to the soil surface when done frequently.

[@bigdrumnc378]

Any one or most any one who is watching this or who would attempt this-are probably following a strict fungicide schedule.

[@minoutv7347]

Fish Duck not necessarily. We’re mowing 4” tall fescue, twice a week, plus deep water early mornings, 1/2” twice a week. No fungus here.

[@Cenlalowell]

This would get real expensive on a big yard
