You are an excellent teacher, as an educator I just wanted to compliment you on your ability to encourage and teach.

[@nunocoelho8979]

Beautiful comment all the way around..

Dude, first time seeing your video, it's GREAT!!! I am a brand new homeowner and have absolutely no idea how to care for my lawn, lol. But I am super excited I found your video cause now I feel like I got the power, ability, and wisdom to care for my lawn!!!

[@AkilBBoy]

I just bought a home, didn't know how to start, what to buy, this video came just in time. Thank you

[@tryhardfinessedyou]

1:50 I been only weed whacking my entire yard for about 3 summers and it's always looks so bad, and I mean baaaddd. All sorts of weeds and ugly bs. Even to a average yard mine looked horrendous. Bought a lawnmower this past Thursday cut it friday and now Monday I already have tons of fresh grass stalks shooting up. I was blown away.

[@gavinistheawesomest]

Initially I wanted the perfect lawn as it seems to be a status symbol. I was doing all of this and had a perfect lawn. I then decided to buy some trees for ornamental purposes, and stumbled across fig trees. I now collect fig trees and several exotic fruit trees and shrubs and vines. My perfect lawn is gone now. Covered in wood chips and trees. Neighbors hate me now, but when it’s harvest time, they always come over to talk and get free fruits and veggies. Sometimes I miss the lawn you inspired me to create, but I’m still happy with my mess of wood chips. Lol

[@harleydude-xo8pu]

I can't believe I have to go back to school, I did not realize there is so much to learn when it comes to grass, I moved from an area where you plant a cactus, let mother nature water it and it grows, to an area where I have centipede grass, weeds and crabgrass all rolled in one lawn, I have to learn how much to water, what types of fertilzers/weed killers to use, when to use. Channels like this are a real help and watching them is giving me hope.

[@doctaedwards]

As a new homeowner, I never thought I’d enjoy mowing my lawn on the weekend. Great videos!

[@mrcuboid]

Me too! I hope your enthusiasm hasn’t waned yet

[@pshort8086]

As a homeowner for 22 yrs, that enjoyment fades. Lol. But you learn how to do things more afficiant & affectively so it's not so bad.

You're one of the few lawncare channels that talks about the important of soil temperatures regarding fertilizer and herbicides. AND you actually give specific minimum soil temps necessary. Greatly appreciated!

First. Even for those more experienced it is always nice to have a refresher of the basics.

yep yep! thanks bro!

[@JustTiga]

Great day Lawn Care Nut, The Lawn Ranger here. Ive watched your video clips for quite a while now and after 11 years of research and trials, we have established an all organic lawn care and treatment line and want to know if you’re be interested in trying them out and reviewing them for us?

[@spawn1086]

Yes it is

[@dwayne4630]

I started here in spring of 2017. Im now making good decisions in the lawn without consulting youtube over ever little thing. I am still learning but much more comfortable making decisions thanks to the Lawn Care Nut and his entertaining lawn tips. My front yard is beautiful Bermuda and weed free, starting fall this year 2019 i plan to take control of my backyard.

[@justinblakeman1364]

I love your channel. As a Floridian (North Florida Atlantic Beach) not everything on the internet works for the climate we live in thanks there. I also have both St Augustine grass in the front yard and Empire Zoysia in the back. It’s the lawn version of a mullet business up front party in the back. But they need different care. Now that I am teaching first grade online from home I have the time to give my lawn the TLC it deserves. You rock very fun to watch. Plus I live on a golf course so my grass is in the foreground and these rolling hills and fairways carpeted in perfectly manicured Bermuda 419 is always in the background. It’s hard not to compare the foreground to the immaculate background Just saying it’s good to have you as a resource thanks.

[@texaspridetrailers]

This video is awesome. Great to see humor with a dose of reality.

[@fakeascanbe423]

"I admit, I sometimes over complicate things. And here are 15 reasons why..." This guy is awesome. I'm going to start going through his video catalog

[@couchpotato7862]

you're not a nut - you're neurotic! and it's catchy! Just found your channel and been watching your videos all week. Went out and have been working on my lawn. Put a new blade on the mower and mowed 2ce a week - put iron on the lawn - dug up the clumpy fescues and reseeded (watering 2ce a day). Threw down top soil in the more barer patches and seeded that. Holy crap what a difference a week makes - I'm already lawn dominating my block. Very satisfying!

[@JasonWho]

As a fairly long time lurker who has yet to actually start on my lawn there was plenty of hilarity to be had in this video. Really good compilation of tips from a lot of your past videos and if anyone is interested in more detail they can just go back to get a longer length video on those tips. Nice job, thank you. Hopefully I get out there this season!

[@TheLawnCareNut]

you got this! 2019 is your year.

[@HappySunshineDay]

I've measured my yard, printed my lawn map, and learned that the spray weed killer I bought should wait a few months until the daytime temps get below 90F. I'm shopping online now for my rake (to pull out the big, already dry weed patches,) a spreader and some beginner fertilizer. Oh! Remind me to shoot my "Before" pix for my Garden Diary! Happy mowing, y'all!

I just bought my first home and it is on an acre of land. The lawn care portion seemed like it was going to be a pain but after watching many of your videos I am so amped to get out and enjoy my mow. I went out and found a Honda HRX and tomorrow will be my first day mowing my own lawn. Thanks for all the great information and tips!

Love this guy. I'm down the road in Lakewood Ranch. 3 years ago we moved to an HOA neighborhood that includes landscaping. A new landscape contractor took over almost a year ago and has nearly ruined the common areas and many homeowners' lawns. I notified them two weeks ago, that they are suspended from landscaping my yard. I am a Florida boy who knows how to care for St. Aug. Imagine my surprise when I found (and bought) a slightly used Toro Turfmaster 30"! Did my first cut yesterday and am well on my way to correcting the ruts, pits and dead areas the landscaper caused. I love the channel! Please keep it up.

The Lawn Care Nut got my ebook, next products, and BORAX lol. The good old borax video for that damn guy Charlie that grows out there time to time

[@Mmunchies]

Summary of video for all you "very busy" people: 1. Mow your lawn 2x a week (3:04 for grass heights, 3-4" safe choice); 2. Fertilize with organics due to less chance of frying your lawn (synthetics are recommended for more experienced lawn owners). Measure your lawn and apply amount evenly to match sqfootage on the bag; 3. Preventing and controlling weeds. Everyone has weeds. You must use a weed control method. You must prevent (pre-emergent applicants), and if that/when that fails, must kill (post-emergent applicants).

[@tanmay_6363]

It's also what we, the homeowners, see and notice when we come back homr and makes us feel good about all our hard work and loving care to make it look that way.

@@TheLawnCareNut I could sure use your help. I just purchased a home up the road from you in Seminole just west of st pete up 275. I have an uneven lawn with like 3 different types of grass. The grass was dead pretty much when I purchased it. Had to have irrigation fixed first to water it. I bought a toro rear wheel self propelled to mow with. I'm not liking what I see so far with different grass types and alot of brown spots. I put spectra cider triazicide insect killer and scotts turf builder bonus s weed and feed. Any help and advise you can please give me would be greatly appreciated. I'm a rookie, so this is new to me. Thanks Mike

[@insAneTunA]

I have a very small lawn and I also have a small fishpond. Recently I started using some of the fish waste from my pond filtration system as a lawn fertilizer. I have a rainwater barrel and I put the fish waste in the water barrel and I added some bio start for pond filtration, as well as some worm castings, some molasses, some minerals called chelated EDDHA iron and GH+, and some air with an air pump and an air stone and I let it brew for several days. I use a watering can to apply it to my lawn. Now my lawn is coming back to life and it has a nice healthy dark green color. It's a never ending supply of fertilizer as long as you keep the air pump running.

I see you talking a lot about dandelions and crabgrass. I have those also but my biggest problem is henbit. I have used a lot of the so-called pre-emergents that are supposed to kill henbit with no results. I have mostly common bermudagrass. Have some tall fescue in shade areas, but henbit is taking over. Last year I scalped and even took edgee and worked area like it had been tilled and raked all of it. In fall I sewed rye, but I have places that rye didn,t even take but full of henbit. I mean 3' x 12' areas. I plan on sewing bermuda around May 15

Best "Lawn Care Theory" channel on YT!!

[@cityofoaks]

This one came up in my "Up Next" feed even though I'd already watched it and I just had to comment to say "You have really helped our lawn!!". We bought a house in 2011 and used some fert (that ended up having a recall) which burned our centipede grass. Got most of it sodded again and hired the company who re-sodded to maintain the applications (we still mowed) - oh and we don't have an irrigation system. The short of it was that company ended up killing our lawn. My husband and I had Jamur Zoysia delivered last fall after he tilled up the old, dead "lawn" (I'm using that term loosely) and we raked up all the junk. We hauled more crap to the landfill than I care to recall. Anyway, we put the zoysia down ourselves and followed your advice on Milo, watering and mowing. We've gone from the worst lawn in the neighborhood to the best. People stop me when I'm out mowing or weeding to compliment us. Thanks a bunch!

Listen to The Lawn Care nut. Last year my lawn was trash. Weeds, grubs, ugly, dead and damaged. I followed his instructions (buy his online guide, it's totally worth it) and in 3 months I started seeing good results. A year later and my lawn is beautiful!

I don’t know if I am wrong for doing this, but I like to pull the broadleaf weeds (root and all) by hand when my soil is moist. I do sections at a time and it is very relaxing.

Looks like you are in FL and that is St. Augustine grass. Easy - Apply 1⁄2 pound of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet in June and August and 1 pound of nitrogen in July - 1 inch of water per week, all at once - aerate when the grass is actively growing and capable of recovery - If thatch is 3⁄4 inches thick, mow grass to 21⁄2 inches and use a power rake with 3-inch blade spacing.
