Looking into the Low N program with GCFC N-Ext Products

[@travisbrooks9660]

These products really work, bought the bio stimulant pack and already noticing significant color change and increased thickness after just 1 application at the minimum recommended rates, have applied RGS, Humic 12, and Microgreene, have not even applied Air8 yet. You will be a believer when you see the color change and increased density of the grass.

I became interested in the natural products that contain Kelp about twenty years ago. The literature from Aggrand had a liquid thatch product that was discontinued, the other products are similar to the N-Ext products but more simplified into a single product. The Shrub, tree and Palm package is attractive to me to use in my garden because I believe in the ingredients combined together that are not in traditional fertilizer products. I find real value in products derived from the ocean as a source of fertility.

[@lambert1702]

John, can you do one of these lawn program videos for warm season turf. Thanks.

[@TheMarialm66]

Good info thanks!

[@ProjectProof]

It's the middle of summer here in Illinois and my lawn looks mint because of your products. I pre ordered my punch so i'll be ready for the fall. Keep up the good work and thanks for offering these products to us DIY guys.

[@stealthcomp14]

Can you explain how the 18-0-1 causes a carbon and nitrogen increase into the soil? Is there a video on this?

[@yardsdoneright7653]

Interesting info on thatch, soil breathing and disease correlation. Thanks for the continuing education.

[@remdionisio7271]

Would you be able to do a video on a warm season turf plan to follow. I think everyone here really trusts your knowledge and it would be extremely beneficial to myself a customer of your great products

[@PaulsPrimeCuts]

I could listen to this stuff all day .... but I gotta get back to work

[@Gustavo-nu1kq]

Love all your informative videos. Would you do a video on warm season grass, ESPECIALLY CENTIPEDE GRASS? I feel like centipede grass is neglected and nobody wants to do videos on it. Why? I dont know. Is it because it is to delicate??? Maybe its time to prove people wrong with these N-ext products.

[@lazylearner967]

Thanks for this video John. It was most helpful! I need to power rake this year. My lawn is 12 years old and hasn't ever been power raked. Should I power rake prior to applying any product?

[@Lawncology]

You can if it bad, otherwise, you can start running D-Thatch as soon as the temps come up.

[@lazylearner967]

Lawncology thx!

[@jefchaplin6205]

Thanks John for the outline for an all liquid program. 👍

[@steved.5628]

Hey John, l cut my n rate in half this year on my own lawn and it looks just as years past. Plus not mowing twice a week to keep up with the growth. Thanks for the knowledge!

[@neverwinterfarms]

If you want to read the book that John recommends, Roman Farm Management The Treatises of Cato and Varro, you can purchase the Kindle edition for free: www.amazon.com/Roman-Farm-Management-Treatises-Varro-ebook/dp/B0084C41I8/ref=mt_kindle?_encoding=UTF8&me=&qid=1532246218&dpID=51aPnbZRgDL&preST=_SY445_QL70_&dpSrc=detail

[@dskrpncs]

I have severe nightcrawlers...anything tou recommend to reduce that or just let them thrive in my Greene County Soil?

[@WEALRO]

I've been spoon feeding bio stimulant pack , but I noticed some soil compaction so I'm gonna double the rate of air 8 in those areas and hope to get some dethatch soon , new smyrna florida its hot

[@matthewvitta5900]

Thanks for all your information. I am learning so much from you. I’m loving the N-Ext products by the way. I was wondering if using Air-8 and a Pre Emergent at the same would be counter productive? My thinking is that since a Pre Emergent creates a barrier on the soil and the Air-8 is breaking up the soil to push oxygen down, I would think the Air-8 application would make the Pre Emergent application ineffective.

[@PaulsPrimeCuts]

Why no P&K in the JP program? I use a lot of K in centipede and to help cool season grass survive the hellish summer here in eastern North Carolina

[@Lawncology]

Paul's Prime Cuts K is great to add. I usually get it from RGS, humic and air8. Those are where the foliar K comes from. Phosphorus comes from the phos cycle of life in the soil

[@chriselms923]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6OwfmBqja9omqM watch this..Ive suspected this all along

[@Lawncology]

Chris Elms link isn’t working

[@PaulsPrimeCuts]

Chris Elms can’t get it to work

[@PaulsPrimeCuts]

Lawncology RGS has K ? Or are u just making what’s there in the soil more plant available?

[@104yourmother]

Great Video. I was wondering if your recommendations for putting down Air8 in the summer applies to all areas of the country. For instance I'm in New England and was planning on only using Air8 in the fall and spring. Good to go in the summer? What you said made a lot of sense.

[@jdrobbi]

Thanks John! Killer stuff; very thought provoking. I was putting down 0.8 lbs/1k on my lawn. I'm doing exactly what suggest in this video -- stepping down. this year I'm at about 0.65. Next year I'll drop to around 0.4 lbs or less per application. Your videos really make me think and constantly reevaluate my program. A quick background: After we bought our house, I largely ignored the lawn. After about 5 years it was overgrown with moss & weeds. I have made tremendous progress, but still have a long way to go (I post regularly on Instagram - @jdrobbi - cheap plug). I'm always looking to learn and find better ways to improve my lawn. Thank you again, Jd

[@CMC_GOAT23]

John would be interested to create a program for eastern NC transition zone for both warm and cool turf. Hoping to use the “secret granular” coming out. Already using rgs with zspray and thinking of adding microgreen and air8

[@SerranoPE]

Someone else below asked this same question but there's no response. Will Air8 disrupt the soil and make your pre-emergent obsolete if applied now? Hope John answers or if someone knows. Love these products but still getting a handle on when/what to apply etc. Thanks!

[@Lawncology]

SerranoPE so there’s a myth surrounding aeration and pre emergent and Air8 will Not adversely effect pre-m. Understanding that there isn’t actually a barrier is important. The activate ingredient coats the early stages sees development and the reason that aeration isn’t recommended is because you are exposing more soil that can hold a deeper seed. Read this excerpt: Because pre-emergent herbicides create a barrier in the soil, it is a commonly-held belief that aeration will disrupt this layer, defeating the purpose of the herbicide application. However, according to Dean Mosdell, a field technical manager for Syngenta, there have been several published research articles that demonstrate no reduction of weed control with spring aeration. “I could see that tine aeration might be acceptable since the area disrupted is small but in the case of core aeration I would have some concern with the amount of soil being removed from a given area,” Loughner said. Reicher points out that lawn care companies shouldn’t be deliberately aerating after applying pre-emergents, but research shows it won’t do too much harm if you need to. “When you look at a lawn care company, clients sometimes don’t treat their lawns the way you might recommend,” Reicher said. “If they end up wanting spring aeration after the herbicide has been applied, you can go back in and aerate, but I wouldn’t do it intentionally on all of your lawns.”

[@mikenorton3377]

i asked this before and didnt get a responce. it could have been overlooked. can you run both machine aerator and also do AIr8 as well, or would this be a waste or overkill?? looking to start my lawn program in the fall. as in utah milo is tough to find. SO i have to order it online or drive to where i can find it. little bit nervous about the liquid program and my soil.

[@Lawncology]

mike Norton I believe I answered this before, if not, here’s the deal. No reason for both. The Air8 is replacing mechanical apps all over the country. It’s just a better response for the turf over all

[@trevorpotts410]

But if overseeding mechanical is better? This is what I was reading in the LCN plan. Please correct me if I’m wrong. Thanks for the knowledge.

[@MichiganWildcat]

I'm confused on all this, so if I were to switch over to a pure liquid program, what do I do for crabgrass prevent, insect prevent? And if I do switch which products do I need here in Michigan?

[@TheGreenerLawn]

Hey John, did you record this before or after we talked yesterday..... Man, nailing the conversation... love the recap! People need to realize how valuable these videos are... you personalize the video in a way, as if they were talking directly to you! Thanks for everything!

[@denisbrisebois7658]

Another very instrumental, educational and valuable video John. Once again thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us. Call me crazy if you will but this summer season , I have already done two applications of the Bio-Stimulants pack (29 May and 7 July) and I am noticing that my lawn is way more resistant to the heat waves we have been having compared to previous seasons. I am by far dominating the neighbours, all because of what I am learning via your channel along with Pete and Allyn and putting into practice those knowledge learned as well as using your products. So imagine what the upcoming years will be like as it’s my very first year using them....☝️.

[@dgoode2846]

Thank you, John

[@pwasylak02]

What would you recommend for someone in Massachusetts

[@Lawncology]

pwasylak02 I recommend the Lobster. Jk. You can follow the recommendation in this video and have stellar grass. You’re in a good growing zone for turf.

[@pwasylak02]

Lawncology love the lobstaaahhh

[@pwasylak02]

Lawncology do you do programs for homeowners or just the business end ?
