Great video! it explained the basics for beginners thank you very much !

[@RonHenry]

You're very welcome Kenneth! Appreciate you watching.

[@donnellburrell1691]

Another Great Video Ron! Thanks for the advice on growth regulator on the edges! Just like you said in Georgia, the heat and rain in Alabama makes my Bermuda edges creep on the side walk with a vengeance! Seems like my edges are stronger and it takes 3 passes sometimes to get that crisp edge! I think it's time for a stronger edger string and blade! 😁 Thanks again Ron! Blessings!

[@RonHenry]

Glad to help Donnell. Growth regulator isn't something a lot of people consider when it comes to edging and it can make a serious difference in how long your edge looks nice. With as much work as you put into getting a clean edge, I think you'd really like the results from PGR. Let me know if I can help with anything else. 👍😎

[@LawnJourneys]

I still love those curved sidewalks! I use a blade edger too gives such a nice look. Although with 4 weeks of 90’s I stopped edging my KBG because the edges along sidewalks were stressing. Now looking better but a bit overgrown, get back to sharp edges when things cool down.

[@RonHenry]

That's a good point lawn Journeys. I didn't think about the potential stress to the turf for cool season grass.

[@E.ElderGilbert]

Ron always on top of the game.

[@RonHenry]

Thanks Elder. Just trying to put helpful content out there. Thanks so much for watching! 👍😎

[@everetttokio5405]

My wife always said "why do you have to edge the yard after you mow?" I told her its the same concept of putting on tire shine on your tires after a car wash. It just makes it POP. Also, that top dressing has filled in really nice! Loving it.

[@RonHenry]

It's coming along pretty nicely Everett. I'm still going to release the videos showing the recovery process but wanted to get this one on edging out.

[@morelandcapitalgroup8694]

I told my son it’s like getting a haircut. Lawn mowing is like using the clippers. String trimmer is like using the scissors to clean everything up and edging like like getting that line up to make it all come together. What’s a haircut without the line up?

[@StephSassano]

I use my hand tool grinder with a mason blade for my lawn edging

[@RonHenry]

Seriously Bifur? How does that work?

[@SativaVerte]

Thanks for this update two things I would like to see, maybe a part 2 ? I’d like to see you doing the task, maybe a review on using a Home Depot rental edger, and I would have liked to see a ground level at the sidewalk of how the edging looks when it’s healthy. I see a lot of people edge in my neighborhood and the quality of the looks varies some people have a lot of grass roots showing other look manicured. I just want to perfect the art and need a little more insight. Thank u for your hard work

[@RonHenry]

No problem at all Sativa. You asked about edging a few weeks ago which is why I made this video. I’ll crest a follow up actually doing the edging work so you can see. I thought about it for this one but it would have been really noisy. That’s why I went for more of an explanation approach. 😎 Thanks again for watching.

[@baims8367]

Ron folks who have healthy lawns like u and me u know soft soil “real grass”. Lol. Well Huscavarna has a battery powered edger works like a dream! So rz so light weight and so powerful, relatively quite compared to gas also. The extreme light weight is what i love and when doing edges is something u habe to be precise and focus on. The huscarvarna battery operated edger is the only thing that should be owned and used! The gas yard tools are almost a thing of the past. Imo. Just wanted to recommend to try it sir youll love it. Huscarvarna 325ilx.

[@RonHenry]

Nice BAims. Tony has an electric powered edger that seems to work pretty well. I'm not sure that I can switch at this point. I have so much invested into my gas powered setup. Will see though.

[@baims8367]

Ron Henry totally hear ya Ron. But you have a very solid platform and do a very nice job w it. Imo id imagine that you could contact even w all thats going on w this “Lie” virus mess. Id bet if you were to contact and even ask your viewers to also recommend you to the companys Stihl, Huscarvarna, ez go, green works ect but you could get a company to sponsor all the battery tools as there what is the Future (now). You do a damn nice job with the channel and your vids and hands down deserve or are worthy of such a sponsorship. Thanks Ron and all the best sir. Brian

[@RonHenry]

I really appreciate that Brian. Perhaps as the channel grows a bit bigger companies might begin reaching out. As long as the product produces a better result on the lawn, I’m happy to try it out. Just have to keep grinding. Thanks for the support. 👍😎

I really think so RolexDSSD. It makes a huge difference as far as getting a consistent result. I love mine. 👍😎

[@smokey0066]

Have you tried power rotor scissors? I picked some up this year and they’re a pretty solid option for trimming.

[@RonHenry]

I keep eyeing that tool smokey. I'm trying to refrain from buying more lawn care tools this year. I already got the Greensmaster recently. 😎

[@tonejac]

I just purchased a rotor scissors attachment for my Ego multi-tool. It works really well, and prevents the 'browning' effect that using a line trimmer attachment was creating. Just nice clean cuts that are nice a crisp. Plus it kicks up way less debris than the string trimmer.

[@JG-oo1lc]

Thank you! Very helpful.

[@RonHenry]

Thanks for watch J G! :-)

[@jvcyt298]

I don't know if it's the fact that I have cheap equipment, or it's because I have a bad back, but I sometimes have a problem even with my blade edger, and If I use my line trimmer, it's just a disaster. Does a blade edger do a better job? definitely.

[@RonHenry]

I find the blade edger does a much better job. Important to keep a sharp blade on it.

[@bradwilliams4921]

Your edges look great!

[@RonHenry]

Thanks Brad!

[@mr.greenthumb4293]

Great video!!! Quick ? For u. I always hear people say to push your lawn during the spring. What exactly does that mean? Lots of nitrogen, or just basic nutrients for the lawn?

[@RonHenry]

What they're referring to is adding f nitrogen and the other macro nutrients to cause the lawn to grow in and green up faster. In the spring warm season grasses are coming out of dormancy so ensuring that the turf has everything it needs to be healthy makes good sense. Does that help?

[@mr.greenthumb4293]

Perfect sense! That’s what I thought and so I did. I thought I pushed it way too much because my lawn was growing like crazy. It got out of hand to the point where I had to keep raising the deck and now I’m at 3 1/2 inches. That was before I found out about the PGR that you did a video on and it really helped reduce the growth rate.

[@RonHenry]

Totally Mr. Green thumb. PGR is amazing stuff. It’s a great addition to any serious lawn care program.

[@adamreed1750]

I sharpen my trimmer feed by spinning it on the concrete before i edge.

[@RonHenry]

You do that to sharpen your trimmer? Seems like it would break the string.

[@adamreed1750]

You just barely hit the tips. It evens out the line and puts a tapered tip on it. Test it and see. It won’t hurt. It cuts way better. Any good trim guy knows what I’m talking about. I’m a surgeon with a trimmer.

[@adamreed1750]

I use a heavier line too. I like the gator line. Its heavy and you can put a tip on it without it breaking.

[@Skialta2024TX]

Hi Ron - What kind of feedback do you have on your Kombi system? Any pros/cons? I'm looking at it but the connection between the two units seems like a possible failure point. Great videos!

[@RonHenry]

Hi Clay. I absolutely love mine. I've had it for going on 3 years now and it's been flawless. Starts every time and the attachments have also worked great. I'd highly recommend it. No issues at all. 👍😎

[@Skialta2024TX]

@@RonHenry Which power head did you select? Like with anything I don't want to regret not buying one with enough power. Thanks Ron!!

[@RonHenry]

Clay Godshalk I’m running the 91R. Alex just recently got the 131R. That thing is a stump puller. Crazy amount of torque.

[@nickc2124]

Clay Godshalk I also got the 91R, and I have several attachments. I have the weed trimmer, edger, reciprocator, and bed redefiner. They all work perfect and never get bogged down with work I do (personal residential lawn). If you’re not doing anything commercial the 91R should run any attachment you can put on it with plenty of power. Been using it since the beginning of growing season this year. I use it at least 3 times a week. So far no issues. It is quite beefy, and I’ve seen professionals using Kombis as well.

Thanks Will. Is your lawn Bermuda or Zoysia?

[@paulaward2894]

@@RonHenry It is Bermuda. By any chance, do you have a 'schedule' of some sort on when to apply what chemicals to your lawn, and which chemicals? I use a fertilizer company but I would like to begin doing it myself. Thanks so much!

[@paulaward2894]

@@RonHenry Also, do you do tine aeration or deep core? If so, how often do you do it? Thanks so much again!

[@RonHenry]

I'm working on putting one together Will. This year I've started using carbon products pretty heavily so I'm going to recommend incorporating those as well.

[@RonHenry]

Hi Will. I do aerate using one of those Ryan machines that you can rent from Home Depot. I aerate once per year unless I'm top dressing. In that case, I'll aerate right before top dressing. It's not hard to do. Just a bit of a a workout.

It is recommended to use tnex during summer months, can't it injure d grass

[@RonHenry]

I've not had issues with applying it during the summer Samuel. No problems.

[@samuelasamoah6906]

@@RonHenry ok i see, thought differently.

[@RonHenry]

Figure that the grass is growing vigorously during the summer so if there’s anytime to suppress growth, it’s then. 😎

[@Dstromb232]

You can have a bad looking lawn but a good trimming can improve the look! In my neighborhood only about 10% home owner has a good looking and I think it is much less. A great looking lawn can add $3000.00 value to your home if trying to sell. People who see a great lawn thinks home was taking care of too.

[@RonHenry]

I never considered that D S but it does make sense. If the lawn is being neglected, it's unlikely that the rest of the house was well taken care of. At least that's the perception. Yet another reason to ensure you do a good job edging the lawn right? :-)

[@chicagomike2111]

Mr. Henry, I thought this was a great tip and a good video, thank you. I gave it a like at 42 and noticed 1 thumbs down. Not sure why some idiot would thumbs down this video but it seems like there are always a few morons on here. As a newly ordained lawn nut I say please keep up the videos they are appreciated..

[@RonHenry]

Thanks so much Chicago Mike. There are a few people that consistently give my videos a thumbs down. Not sure who they are really. Maybe other KZbinrs! 😂Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching the content. Let me know if I can help answer anything.

[@chicagomike2111]

@@RonHenry I believe it very possible they see your passion and are jealous..as the old saying goes Misery loves company. Quick question.. your thoughts on Drop vs Broadcast spreaders. I guess they both have their up and down sides. Possible video material on which is best for grass seeding/over seeding, which is best for fertilizers. specific examples possibly on the need for both and which one if you could only afford one type.. Thanks again and keep up the great videos..

@@RonHenry While you're offering it: I am experimenting with humic acid on my clayish soil at the moment. Any videos or thoughts on that topic?

[@RonHenry]

I think they're a great idea Andreas. I've got 2 videos on the topic. One discusses a liquid product and the other a granular. Both contain carbon and humic acid. I've seen great results with both since I started incorporating them into my lawn care program. Granular video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6bNoaiinp14p8k Liquid results: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emikg5aMhaukjqc Short answer is: YES. Add them to you soil. 👍😎

[@andreasplattner]

@@RonHenry thanks Ron. Trying to figure out the corresponding products here in Europe as the market seems a lot thinner on those kind of products over here

Hmmm.. Hopefully there are some options Andreas. Surely lawn care pros in the in the EU are using carbon and humic acid products. Least I'd hope so.

I edge the old-fashion way. A small wheel on a stick.

[@RonHenry]

If those are sharp, they can produce a pretty good result too Eric. Do you get a pretty clean edge with yours?

[@throatoysters]

@@RonHenry it edges just fine. Clean and crisp, just like yours. Buts it's a little tricky on sharp curves. Personally, it's more of a nostalgic feel of when I was doing yard work as a kid.
