www.howtowithd...
Doc explains how our soils can be improved by increasing microbes and overall soil health. He makes an all in one spray that can be applied every week. Doc adds organic material to the lawn to feed the soil microbes and good fungus. Soils must be brought to LIFE if you want them healthy.

Thanks for the info. I think one of my issues has been starting TOO early in the Spring. Patience is a virtue with lawncare!

[@gregau21]

Doc, you are the man! I know I can speak for just about everyone that we appreciate all your videos with all your knowledge you give us for lawn care. Really appreciate it!

[@sylvesterrandolphjr.4135]

Doc is a great teacher and makes it so simple to follow! Thanks for all you do Doc!

[@bertexsted3713]

I finally got around to watch your Gabe Brown video...several hours and Gabe videos later, I'm amazed by how 'regenerative' this ND Farmer is. His passion for 'adding value' from producing to marketing, so that one "signs the back of the check instead of the front" really shines. He reminds me of a Bermuda Lawn Doc, who has a similar passion in his gift to us all.

[@jaymetheaccountant]

Gabe Brown is a soil genius. I grew up about 70 miles away from his farm and I can concur it 100% absolutely works.

[@nickb2912]

I really wish Humichar and super juice came in 5000 square foot bags

[@jblove523]

Love your videos! I live in the Texas Hill country and the soil sucks! We grow more rocks than grass. But after watching your videos I have been able to grow some Bermuda grass in my yard. Every year it’s getting thicker and stronger just from following the Bermuda chart. It has helped a lot! Thank you for the videos

[@tannertravis4455]

You've been pumping out the videos. Thanks for all the content.

[@allisonconnors4701]

Thanks for touching on the wild bird issue I had asked about a few videos ago, I have wild turkeys. They will be nesting in the spring so we probably won't see them for a bit but I will report any issues with the chicken feed I see. They do scratch all around especially under bird feeders. Good video, very informative. Stay well, Tom

I’m in upstate SC, put down heavy coat of pre emergent about a month ago and still have weeds everywhere. Can I still spray a coat of dimension or is it too late for that?

[@billzens3664]

Hey Doc, Bill from Seattle area here. Thanks for the vid's; even though our lawn types (Fescue and Rye) and Season (doesn't even get to 70's until June) are different, the principles you talk about are the same. Thanks for that. Question, I brew beer, and at the end of each brew session I have 30-40 pounds of spent grain, which I have been giving to a friend to feed his chickens. Do you think that grain (mainly barley, bye and wheat) would work in lieu of the chicken feed for providing organic matter?

[@35057]

My soil is so sandy and it’s taken me years to figure this out. Sucks. 😣 I did some digging around on this. I’m wondering if I aerate and then throw chicken feed down with some other stuff down it will help get it down in the soil more. With peat moss also. 🤔 don’t have a ton to spend on this but the grubs already destroyed 1/3 of my yard already. 😣 had a nice yard for years. Grubs got out of control.

[@jeffcanaday3858]

I watched the video that Doc is saying to watch. It is really unbelievable how we as a nation have messed up our soil for so long. Watch it!

[@HowTowithDoc]

Worth it

[@gangstarib]

david brandt and ray archuleta are some sharp fellows as well with regards to soil health

[@jonathanwhite6593]

First off, your channel is absolutely amazing! I watch it daily! I’m in southeastern NC, and have a hybrid Bermuda, Latitude 36 that incur with a Tru-Cut 27. I have some sections that have become bare and I’m unsure if it’s due to shade (large live oak nearby), poor soil, or damage. I was hopeful to send you some pics to get your input. Do you have any initial thoughts? Thanks Jon

[@shutch4251]

Hey Doc! How often should we be putting down organic and microbes down?

[@RobyWanKenobi]

Dumb question but I bought the Hudson 2100 sprayer a few years ago when I started using Super Juice, what ratio does it spray. I have been checking on the Andersons bottles with no luck. Thank you for making me and my yard look so good to my wife.

[@TurfStooge]

How long can the Super Juice stay in the bottles before it goes bad, if it does? Same question for the super compost. Does it go bad after the heating process is complete?

[@HowTowithDoc]

If you have microbe booster in it, it's unclear the impact of time. Still testing. Without, about 1-2 weeks. The pile's fungus starts to degrade rather quickly but the nutrients are there for months.

[@JA-lc7nt]

Good information Doc ! How often do you put down the chicken feed?

[@RESlusher]

Doc, my SuperJuice bag apparently breached and the product is now a solid block. Can I just chip off enough chunks for the gallon and rehydrate it?

[@HowTowithDoc]

Sure... leave it in warm water.

[@Hondasonatta]

Great info. But how would I do this if I'm using a back pack sprayer?

[@SuperTA329]

Great video Doc.

[@josephpoferl]

Doc or anyone that knows - at what rate are we supposed to spread the chicken crumble? Looking for lbs/sq. ft. Thanks!

[@josephpoferl]

So, I got an answer for this on the FB group. In the video Doc states that he uses 5 bags of the 50lb chicken feed for his backyard which he has previously stated is ~18k sq. ft. Do the math and that comes out to 14lbs/1k sq. ft.

[@nickstayman2358]

If my doing a new lawn I have one perfect opportunity to make my soil really good at least 6”-8” deep. What should I do?

Can this mix just be added to the “my 4 sons” sprayer? Or does it need to be hose applied?

[@torencesmithsr1387]

Thanks Doc, great information!!

[@pappy906]

Hi Doc. how do you balance insecticides and microbes in the lawn, or do you just choose one over the other. I'm considering just putting an insecticide around the foundation of the house as apposed to the entire yard. Thank you for your knowledge and motivation.

Doc - I follow you and watch your videos all the time. I am new to this and very confused at the moment. I live in middle GA as well and I would love to get 1/2 the type of lawn you have. When looking at the Bermuda Grass Calendar for March, I need help. Am I supposed to Scalp, Apply Pre-emergent, Jump Start, PGF Complete, Super Juice, Treat for bugs, Humichar, and Aerate all out at the same time? Please Help! Much appreciated and I will be buying your products. Please let me know if i am missing anything or not understanding the process.

Put down PE and water in WELL like a good rain. Scalp, then put down PGF complete. That will get you on track.

Only one big problem for us in SWFL - if we spray in the evening the humidity and afternoon rains will guarantee big fungus (bad) problems!! I only water in the morning, will this system still work ok??

[@HowTowithDoc]

Exactly.... good fungus grows at night as well. It's a LIGHT spray not a deep watering and only done every 1-2 weeks. We're not talking about a "watering schedule".

[@salc9593]

Great video with a great deal of information. I do have a question which I hope you will be able to help those of "us" who have come across this issue in ordering these products. Super Juice can not be sold/shipped to those of "us" in South Dakota or California; Humi-Char can not be sold/shipped to those of us In Oregon, South Dakota or California and HumiDG (PGF Complete) can not be sold/shipped to South Dakota or California. Doc, could you recommend a substitutive for the Humi-Char and the Super Juice as I would like to stay as close to your receipt for your Liquid Lawn Supplement as possible. Keep up the Informative and Instructions videos they have been a great help to me. BTW. the wife really likes your ensemble at (min. 4:00), also having seen some of your earlier videos thinks you good far more handsome with your Beard than with out she said it really fits you. :-D May you and your family Be Healthy and Be Safe.

Hey Doc. I have a 6 year old Bermuda lawn that I'm having treated by a professional company. The lawn looks great, no weeds just solid Bermuda. My only problem is the lawn looks thin. What can I do to thicken up my lawn without affecting the treatments I'm getting? Thanks for you help.

[@HowTowithDoc]

Almost impossible to say... you really need to chose one or the other. Doing DUAL never ends well.

[@SwampFox007]

supplement the professional company with your own fert regimen... they most likely aren't giving you enough Nitrogen (I have to do the same thing). I generally treat the lawn with 1/2 - 3/4lb N per 1000 sq ft per Month during the growing season. If you look at what they put down, you're probably only getting half of what your Bermuda actually wants. The other thing you can do it cut it more often and force it to run horizontal when it grows instead of vertical. You basically teach it to grow a different way - after all, Bermuda is a weed and it will figure out how to spread.

where do I get those ingredients for that spray you use?

[@prettycleaver]

Doc you need to listen to Gabe Brown you missed the no till aspect, every time you till your garden you destroy your garden microbiome. You don't need to till if your fungal activity is high the fungi literally takes the nutrients too the roots. Proud of you trying to promote the renagade ranchers. You could plant a poly cultural mixing cool an warm season grasses and legumes crimson and white Dutch clover to add nitrogen to the soil.

[@HowTowithDoc]

We CAN... turn our soils because of what we are doing with the organic matter and extremely high levels of fungus and microbes we add. His "no till" method is for larger farms and VERY large gardens. Our soil has been analyzed and blows away any such "no till" based on level of microbes, fungus, and CEC levels. BUT... I get your point and Gabes message is not lost, just modified.

[@prettycleaver]

Another thing, might be a conflict of interest they try not to put synthetic fertilizers in as inputs since you sell them. Hence interspecies cover crops, can't do it on a lawn necessarily but you can do a poly cultural planting. Pre world War 2 it was very common. Clover benifical add nitrogen to soils through nodules. Dandelions are super accumulator and they grow like a weed they indicate that you have to compacted soil.

Hey Doc...off topic here but is there some kind of shipping/warehouse issue with Anderson’s? It is taking forever to get product from them and it’s starting to cause issues with missed timeline periods..etc.

What kills microbes? Reason for my question, we have our pest control people spray or fog our lawn for musqeutos. Apparently it seems to work on ants also. Maybe other things.
