Great videos! I'm soooo new to taking care of lawns. I learn a lot from you:) although, I am in Canada and it is so difficult to buy products you recommend here. I wish herbicide and all these products in the US were more accessible. My lawn has gotten more brown and bold spots from the heat and also myself walking around to water flowers. and also crabgrass and clovers are spreading. I heard RoundUp and WeedBgone kills grass too so I'mhesitating to use them. Before I found your channel, I had used TurfBuilder Pro (32-0-4) a few weeks ago and that didn't help.. I will check your videos and get some more tips:)

Hey Doc, fellow Georgian who stumbled onto your youtube channel about a month ago which coincided with the cancellation of my national lawn service company. I won't name any names but they Tru-ly left a lot to be desired. I started on your program a month ago with PGF, Duo, granular fungicide, & liquid fungicide. The lawn has really greened up and is looking much healthier, but I'm noticing a lot of nutsedge, clover, and other weeds sprouting up (whatever pre-emergent the national company used didn't do the trick). We're going to be in the 90s for the foreseeable future so how would you approach this with the concern being applying post-emergent could hurt the bermuda? or is it a necessary step back to get rid of current weeds, then apply the heavy pre-emergents in the fall and again in early spring to break the cycle of weeds? Thanks for your time, I love learning about all this!
@HowTowithDoc
@HowTowithDoc 4 жыл бұрын
It's tough to tackle weeds when your lawn is looking good and the weather is HOT..... Just be real careful and maybe wait for break in the weather to cool. You COULD do a granular PE without too much concern... but even still it's tough. It does help that we are getting rain.

My son-in-law made the mistake of using your national company a couple of years ago in Michigan. We were there visiting and I looked at the little ticket that tells what they did and noticed something interesting, their treatment was based on 2000 square feet of lawn but they are on an acre with 15,000 square feet of turf. I told him I don’t care what they put down, it will be ineffective at that rate. He gave them another chance and they were supposed to come and fertilize and aerate while I was there. He called me from work to ask how they did and I told him they hadn’t been here yet but two different trucks of theirs had driven by and went to other houses. He called me back and said the guy was adamant that they had been here, I told him I was out in the yard all day and I challenged the guy to come out and show me one granule of fertilizer or one hole in the lawn. He called them back and told them they were fired and would not be getting paid. Good riddance.

I have a fescue lawn and live in NC. My “lawn guy” fertilized in June. Seems like it was too hot and the fertilizer was too much. I can tell what lawns he fertilized in my neighborhood because they all turned brown and died. So I have to start all over in September. What steps first? Aerate? What type of fescue seed? Thanks :))

@sandieweatherup
@sandieweatherup 4 жыл бұрын
Don't try to go by the numbers on the spreader. Calculate the pounds you need for your square footage, & add that to the spreader. Use the smallest setting that allows it to still come out and go over your entire yard (twice if necessary) until the spreader is empty. Yes, I weighed mine the first time & measured it in a container like doc did with his gallon jug. Now I know what "volume" my poundage looks like. Hope that made sense.

Mushrooms are a sign of plenty of water and a healthy soil. As ugly as mushrooms can look, they are a great sign. Hit them with weed whacker between mowings if they bother you. You can't prevent them unless you want to hurt your yard.
