Eric Covington's lawn has been through the ringer to say the least! His lawn has been through two hurricanes, fungus and insect damage. He was almost to the point of giving up and throwing in the towel. That was before he got a hold of the N-Ext Bio-Stimulant package! Now, he not only has the bio-stim pack but snagged 18-0-1 GreenePunch and 7-0-0 GreeNe EfFect to help bring his yard back to life. He called me up to help him put a plan together using what his got, and that's exactly what I did for this video.

Can you make me out a schedule please I just ordered bio pack.

[@JasonSells100]

Hi Paul!! Love the channel. Just started using the N-EXT products. Last week I put down RGS, AIR8, Detach, and green affect all at once. It seemed to look like coffee grounds but mostly all came out. Please tell me I didn’t ruin anything. Should I reapply Green Affect on its own!? What can’t I mix this as a cocktail. Thanks again!

[@DTH88]

I put down Milo last week and i just bought the N-EXT bio-stim pack, can't wait to try it out. I never did prodiamine but now I'm wondering if i should still put it down. My soil temps are in the 50s in May but I've already started fast growth. What should i do? Crab grass and corn speedwell is rampant

[@msmall107]

Hi! So I just got my soil sample back and my pH is 6.21, just at the lowest range. I have RGS and and humic12, will those help stabilize my pH naturally or do they have little to no impact on that?

[@juanrivera6530]

How long would it take to see the green punch work I just put my first

[@kmbernie80]

Would you get any results from using green punch at a smaller rate than 20OZ/1000? I will be trying out the N-ext products year and trying to decide if I want to go with liquid or granular fert

[@felixfernandez7071]

question just watch and printed like you said in the video you say we can mix humic12 and micro green 0-0-2 but on the pdf says *0-0-2 Microgrene should NOT be combined with any other products from the biostimulant pack so wich is it ???? yes to combined with humic or by it self ? thanks awesome video

[@NExtDIYLawn]

Great question and I am glad you asked. It says on the PDF *0-0-2 MicroGreene™ should NOT be combined with any other products from the BioStimulant pack in a hose-end sprayer! Backpack or any other bigger sprayer that is going to have water in it first, you can mix Humic12 with 0-0-2 MicroGreene SO LONG AS YOU HAVE WATER FIRST. I would mix in this order, water, Humic12, 0-0-2 MicroGreene, top it off with more water. Hope that helps. - Castleberry

[@jeffpoplin558]

Good job, Paul. Best of luck Eric! As for mixing the bio-stims, I did "read the .pdf" and printed an extra copy. To remind my old feeble brain I labeled the RGS and Air-8 caps with a big "A" and the Humic and MicroGreene cap as "B". Makes it easy to grab the correct bottles from the shelf.

Boy, that sounds exactly like my renovation that I did in August of 2017, Michael took it out, and I was loaded with Poa Annua last Winter/Spring. I had army worms late last Summer, and Irma did a number as well. I treated with Specticle Flo last winter, and I am looking at a weed-free lawn right now. Any renovation is going to take at least 2-3 years to get to where it looks really good. I scalped it down to the ground last Saturday, and I'm looking forward to my first good sanding and mow.

[@RVALawnLove]

ColonelK0rn two hurricanes and army worms sounds very familiar

At least you have it free of weeds! Hang in there and you will have it back to it's full glory soon! Thanks for watching Colonel! Always good to hear from you. - Castleberry

[@Alex-ns1ik]

I can feel for Eric. I lost my yard to Pythium. I thought it was Brown Patch fungus. Was to late when I found out what it was. Need a whole different product to treat it. Lesson learned!!!

[@lsturbointeg]

with all the N-Ext products are you pretty much eliminating any granular fertilizers each month like Milo?

[@NExtDIYLawn]

Correct! Going all liquid! - Castleberry

[@heavymechanic2]

Crabgrass, yeah, I have been dealing with that stuff choking out everything (driveway, lawn and garden) and I had a seed crop on 18K feet of lawn.

[@NExtDIYLawn]

That is rough! I heard John say someone should learn to market crabgrass as an actual desirable turf type haha. That stuff is rough! - Castleberry

[@carlhillman2326]

I put the humic 12 and 002 together per your 8 minute mark in this video and it clumped up and was unusable. I washed my containers and tried again with the same result. Wasted a fare amount of product :(

[@NExtDIYLawn]

I do apologize for the confusion but Humic12 and 002 should not be mixed together in concentrate inside of the hose end sprayer cup. They are ok to go together inside of a backpack sprayer, so long as water is put in first, then Humic12 and then 002 MicroGreene. - Castleberry

[@carlhillman2326]

@@NExtDIYLawn Thank you for the clarification. Is the Humic 12 the only one in the bio stim pack that will have this reaction? The Air8 and RGS went together without issue. Could I add the 002 Micro in with them and do the humic by itself?

[@NExtDIYLawn]

You are most welcome. 002 MicroGreene should not be mixed in concentrate, inside the Ortho Dial n Spray Hose End Sprayer with any of the products in the Bio-Stimulant pack. - Castleberry

[@carlhillman2326]

@@NExtDIYLawn So in short 002 is the only one that will react negatively with the others in the bio stim pack? Thank you so much for answering my questions.

Correct! And you're welcome! Happy to help. - Castleberry

Thanks man! Another good story to show how people overcome obstacles and make it right. Nice! Makes my situation of dealing with too much rain, which causes fungus, etc. and makes it seem minimal. Looking forward to EC's journey.

I know how he feels. I killed off my whole front. Pretty much did same things with Harley rake more top soil. Seed. Starter fertilizer with tenacity. Boom. 2 inches of rain in 1 hour. And I live on a hill. It was perfect smooth. Until rain. Redoing it now.

[@doncline6372]

I am in the RVA area as well and am ditto on the issues with my TTTF. Up until yesterday this heat has been a killer. I have irrigation and have been using it and your products. I have some questions. My TTTF was starting to layover at 4.25”. Two nights ago I went in with a high lift blade and cut back to 3.75” and seemed to have moderate success. Yesterday I went almost the full route...kill or cure method. I ran 3 oz of RGS, 9 oz of Humic 12, 9 oz Air-8, 16 oz, MicroGreen, and 9 oz of D-Thatch. I ran sprinklers 6 minutes and we got 1/3” of rain last night. No matter what rate and what I do, I just can’t seem to get my lawn dark green. My last N-P-K app was a month ago and it didn’t even do much. Suggestions? Can I run 18-0-1 at a low rate or 7-0-0 during the summer without pushing growth too much? The grass under my bird feeder is the color I want so I know something is amiss.

[@SUBDIVIDED]

What results did you get after the application of multiple Next products? Have you considered using a liquid iron to deepen the green? Asking because I have had a similar situation here in Northern KY with a KBG/TTTF mix that just didn't come to life as usual after a good dose of liquid N-P-K and consistent irrigation. Heat stress is definitely a factor- went 3 1/2 weeks with no rain and blazing sun for 15 hours a day.

[@Donaclin]

@@SUBDIVIDED I think the products may have a long term effect by helping to fix some stress areas. I did not get the affect I expected. The double green effect that is talked about just doesn’t happen. I got great results the first app of HyRBrix Lawn fertilizer but that has been it. I am wondering if it may be my varieties. I am working on my daughter’s fescue lawn and am seeing much better color results. I will be starting to overseed the next few years with hopefully better varieties.

[@HeavyMetalLawnsAndLandscapes]

So I hear you like getting to know people through this community. I'm waiting on a delivery of 5 gallons of humic12, a 5 gallon mix of RGS and Air8, and a 4 gallon box of some other goody. Trying to fix my FrankenHydeBermuda lawn. Not quite a story like Eric's there, but it'll still bring a tear to your eye. Love these videos. I find them quite relevant and extremely helpful. Thanks, Michael Segui

[@NExtDIYLawn]

I most certainly do sir! It is loads of fun and rewarding to help folks out. Sounds like you are ramping up for a ton of fun here soon! Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help! - Castleberry

[@benharrison1069]

Good video, Paul. One suggestion - For those that want to mix two or more chemicals together into a sprayer it's always a good idea to do a jar test BEFORE putting those chemicals in your sprayer. If you do not do a jar test, then you could be spending quite some time cleaning out every little crevice of your sprayer or worse, you could possibly ruin your sprayer which is not cheap. Better to be safe than sorry. We are all waiting for spring and getting our equipment and supplies ready to go. It'll get here and then we will be killing ourselves trying to dominate our neighbors. :-)

[@NExtDIYLawn]

Well said sir! Always a good idea to do your research before doing any kind of application. You are right, don't want to ruin your equipment from not understanding how products might not work well together. Looking forward to working my tail off this season! Thanks for watching and commenting! - Castleberry

[@michaelhutchinson9289]

If you were only gonna choose one which would best. Bio stim pack or soil activator?

[@NExtDIYLawn]

I would start with Bio-Stim. Easiest way to get to know how to use our products.

[@cduvall79]

I also live in the RVA and dealt with the same BS. Trying to salvage the turf I could grow through this mess myself! Thanks for the advise and I’ll change my plan accordingly. In the vid you said you couldn’t mix Green Effect with anything. I mixed it with 002 last year and it was fine. Should I spray that in a separate app?

[@NExtDIYLawn]

If you are mixing concentrates with water inside a sprayer, you should be fine. We just recommend not mixing concentrates together in the hose end sprayer cup. Great question and best of luck bringing your lawn back to its full glory! - Castleberry

Is it better to use a hose end sprayer or backpack sprayer to apply next products

[@NExtDIYLawn]

More water is better. Hose end works the best but you can use a back pack sprayer as well. Just have to make sure you have the right water to product ratio. Make sure to check the labels and follow the guidance on there. - Castleberry

[@NExtDIYLawn]

The thing with the hose end, we don't recommend mixing fert concentrates with the specialty products like RGS, Air8, Humic12 and D-Thatch. Those need to be tank mixed in a sprayer of some sort.
