I've been following LCN since his Indiana days. I stand by Allyn.

[@ranger2316]

B/S... I have been following the LCN for years, and have employed many of his recommendations. All I can say is, people have stopped me while I'm mowing and said, "How do you get this SA so thick and green?" Thank you Lawn Care Nut. Keep it rolling. PS BTW... he gave the same advice and application strategies when he was exlusively using Milorganite. He was correct then and he's correct now.

[@horrorbiz72]

Sounds like someone wants to ride some coat tails and is unhappy. 😂

[@andrewccolwell]

If you keep up with his channel, you will see him talk about pounds on the ground and getting into the math of the amounts of N, P, & K being applied. I have never heard him recommend doing more than a label rate. He’s essentially taking about ratios when he’s talking about having high N, and above a certain amount of K which is fair. You’re splitting hairs. My two cents: I would be more open to your ideas if you were creating your own content and not just knit picking others.

I'm standing with Allyn. Say what you want, he knows his stuff and he goes to great lengths to share his knowledge!! His products are great, but he even shares whenever possible, how to find comprable products in retail stores!✔️✔️✔️

Yes he has “steered you wrong.” Are you a professional groundskeeper? No. I thought so. Are you self employed in the lawn care business? No? That’s what I thought. Alan is wasting your time and money and that should piss you off. Stop stroking his already oversized & overinflated ego.

[@driximus]

I have always watched most of these lawn guys mostly for how to. Products are easy, directions on the bag, scotts makes it simple. Honestly my best results have been with Ammonium Sulfate, and drop Iron in the summer.

[@campbellpaul]

A higher amount of nitrogen as opposed to a steady amount of adequate nitrogen will not do anything unless the turf is under acute stress from heat, wind or an uneven ground surface. The need for more nitrogen in the early springtime is relative to the need for the turf to become physiologically active from a dormant state where it did not require as much. Iron oxide (if abundant enough) is also readily available once microbes have converted it to soluble iron, which does not take "decades" to do. It also hasn't been proven that foliage feeding of iron works all year round or when turf grass is under stress. A soil test is in fact the best way to find out what your lawn lacks nutrient wise, unless you know exactly what to look for in the leaves and roots of the plant itself. There are too many falsehoods surrounding ANY chemical fertilizer to rely on them to be ideal in any way (which is why organic gardening is the best way to go).

[@webeducation]

The bag also contains carbon prills which is by no means cheap. One also has to consider convenience of carbon w/ the fert and what that cost to do. LCNs channel is geared towards beginners to intermediate. It's important for a beginner to start not being overwhelmed while at the same time obtaining results.

Concentration equates to an amount. The bottom line is, results = views. People watch LCN because the results are reproducible; which is the benchmark of efficacy in research.

Scared to actually show your face. Classic

[@tiktoksister1915]

First things first: Allyn’s videos/methods are consistent in applying .75lbs of nitrogen at a time, a low dose by any measure. TruGreen typically treats between 1/1.5 lbs/1000. A few more issues with your “doors” 1. A couple of notes. The UT report you cited speaks mostly to cool season grasses. Zoysia is not. 2. The article you cite, from UT says “excess nitrogen fertilization…” can contribute. What is excessive? Certainly not .75lb/1,000? (Page 4) 3. In fact, the same report says: “Control: Adequate nitrogen fertilization and soil moisture levels will help prevent the development of dollar spot.” (Page 4) 4. In fact, AGAIN, it says: “Fertilizer should be applied in amounts to encourage uniform growth and avoid excess growth especially in the spring and summer.” (Page 6) 7. AGAIN, on page 7, from the very report you cite: “Control: Good soil and air drainage and low levels of nitrogen fertilizer will help reduce the severity of these diseases.” Man, you were so close. I know you figured folks wouldn’t check your citations. Did you even read them? But congrats on the clicks by trolling a big name on KZbin and siphoning off a few clicks!

I’ve used flagship for a while and always get a dark green and healthy boost. I’ve used the summer stress blend and RGS, Humic 12, microgreen, air8 etc. my lawn has never looked nicer. Some of what you say might be somewhat true but I also buy from Yard Mastery because without his advice and that of others in the KZbin lawn care community I would still be scratching my head wondering what to do. Real men pay it forward and just don’t leech. And because I’ve gotten results I continue to buy. 😘

[@thomasjack4899]

I'm 100% in agreement. The guy that runs this channel is a university type without much real world experience and has a snooty better than everyone attitude, which is typical of these type of people. He's jealous that Allyn was able to turn his knowledge and experience into profit. I'm not disputing what he's saying, but there is also anecdotal evidence (which he would shun) and my yard has never been greener, thicker, healthier...even through a summer of 4 weeks 100 degrees plus and minimal irrigation, my kbg stayed green. At Home Depot, a bag of 45 lbs Scotts turfbuilder is $48. Yardmastery Flagship is $55 and delivered to me. I don't mind paying a few bucks extra for convenience and to support a small business that's provided me a ton of value.

[@kcw131]

If you fertilize your lawn with Nitrogen, it will be healthy and green. His point is not that Allyn is selling snake oil, it's that you're paying way more than necessary for Flagship than a comparable fertilizer.

Hi @Jimmy Calderon. Perhaps it would be more simple for us to provide recommendations, but doing so would only place us in the same position as most DIY youtube channels. Instead, our intention is to show you the door. Everyone has access to the same resources we do, but perhaps people just don't know where find them. We are convinced that if people are shown the resources and develop their critical thinking skills, then they will be better equipped than if they rely upon a youtube channel for advice.

I have seen lawns that have been established for 20 years in Florida that never get anything more than a little fertilizer a few times a year and look better than Allyns. He only shows certain parts of his yard in most of his videos at certain times of the day but if you were to evaluate his entire yard you would see insect damage, thin spots, fungus issues... this is because he has nuked his entire soil biology with chemicals. I think this is not only irresponsible but dangerous to be encouraging average homeowners to do the same. These chemicals are extremely toxic and end up in groundwater and in our waterways.

Thanks John. It is rare that we receive useful criticism of our content. It is appreciated. TT

[@jasonmenken8910]

Some good info here, but... Allyn's target demographic is the newer diy guy. TT says several times that concentration is not important, it is the application rate. While true, you have to consider the inexperienced DIY guy is simply going to apply at the bag rate, not calculate pounds on the ground (which Allyn covers in other videos). TT also "debunks" that potassium will increase the green color. Again, true, but in this video Allyn refers to a stressed out lawn. So, how can an inexperienced diy guy make his stressed out lawn green, add potassium to help with the stress relief, thus increasing the green in the lawn. Allyn is the main reason I have learned so much about diy lawn care. The basic knowledge he taught me great affected my results. However, now that I have gained that basic knowledge and then researched it more, I have kind of moved on from him, Jake, etc. The type of science that TT is teaching may simply be above what an inexperienced newby can handle. Which is why the way Allyn teaches it is very helpful. I'll admit, at first, I bought the stuff he was promoting, and saw great results. However, as I mentioned above, the more knowledge I gained, the less of his products I have purchased. Just keep in mind, you have to learn to walk before you can run.

[@HungrySoutherner]

"So, how can an inexperienced diy guy make his stressed out lawn green, add potassium to help with the stress relief, thus increasing the green in the lawn." How are you determining that a stressed out lawn is due to a potassium deficiency? Turf Truth may or may not agree with me on this but that statement alone doesn't pass the BS test. If turf is just dry then only water is going to sort that out, potassium isn't going to help hydrate the plant ( and no I don't want to engage in the debate about stoma control and guard cells and potassium). My opinion is that potassium is being over marketed as a "stress" cure for turf, when good old fashioned H20 is probably better combined with better cultural practices like quit scalping your lawn every 2 weeks.

[@Lawnvolution]

@Jason Menken Your statement, “You have to learn to walk before you can run.” Unfortunately, when dealing with fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. A newer DIY person should learn the correct information from the very beginning of his/her new lawn journey.

[@TurfTruth]

@Jason Menken Thanks for the comment. No, we never stated that concentration is not important. In fact, at 3:00 we stated that the analysis is important. Allyn refers to what K does, but his assertion that applied K will green up turfgrass was clearly not specific to stressed turf. Even with stressed turf, applied K does not consistently result in greener turf in the field on native soils. If you are sincerely convinced that potassium will green up turfgrass, we recommend you read the chapter we cited along with the literature cited in that chapter. Or, contact a university soil/nutrition specialist who is knowledgeable on turfgrass K. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.2134/agronmonogr56.c14

In nearly every video you've posted, you're nitpicking at things and not providing solutions. You're doing this anonymously, with a computer generated voice and without giving your name, credentials, or showing your face. Why is that? Don't even try to compare yourself to Matt Martin, because this is no where close. He shows his research and provides references. He certainly doesn't just mention them in passing while saying they they back up his claims. He offers solutions, and he has a background and education in this field. What education do you have and what research have you done? We don't know. We don't know who you are. I might watch a few of your videos, but only enough to ascertain that you really don't have that many valid arguments and that you're just someone with a personal grudge who has resorted to nitpicking. Thus I won't need to watch any of the others you release in the future. Like when you say that Allyn Hayne should not tell his viewers to apply higher number nitrogen fertilizers because it's not the concentration that matters but rather the quantity of nitrogen being applied. Good point, but this is more of a "well, duh" moment. Allyn has dozens of videos in which he explains this to his viewers and shows them how to calculate the pounds of nitrogen being applied, and that knowing the pounds is what's most important. For all I know, he did this in the same video you've referenced, or he at least linked to the videos in which he stated how to do that. Allyn has also previously stated that using higher amounts of nitrogen can make you more susceptible to turf disease. But you say nothing about that here. All you say is that he is pushing his products and telling people they need higher percentage nitrogen fertilizers when he shouldn't. You're implying that people shouldn't watch him because he misleads his viewers, when you in fact are misleading your viewers in the very same video. I disagree with your claims about micronutrients, iron, and potassium in the lawn, because I've seen the results on my own lawn after applying these. I've been managing my lawn organically for the last 10yrs or more. No chemical herbicides or fungicides, and only organic fertilizers. After seeing some stress-like issues in the lawn, I ran a soil test, which came back showing that it was low in potassium. I began applying potassium (SOP) on regular basis and the problems began to go away. I also saw a differece in color response after applying nothing else besides the SOP. Hmm... I've seen the results in color difference from applying iron (as has anyone who has used milorganite, which I have used, or ironite, which I haven't used but I've seen the results from), and I've seen the growth response from applying micronutrients and nothing else for months. So your claims, in my opinion, are BS.
