Fixing Lawn Problems with N-Ext RGS™ and N-Ext Humic12™

For most of you, it is full on Lawn Game time! You're out there, doing everything you know to do, following the plan laid out prior, and then all of a sudden, you start to notice a problem. Maybe it's weeds, maybe its lack of water, or too much or lack of something applied in the past. In Paul's case, the front yard that is all Bermuda, a warm season grass, it is thin and need help filling in. So, in this video, he will show you how to give it an extra boost to help it fill in using N-Ext RGS™ and N-Ext Humic12™.

Awesome! I am having the same problem with my Bermuda so I will adopt this plan of action as well! Please continue to give us updates of this process

[@TheLawnGuardian]

I always enjoy your work, Paul. Keep it up, my friend! Looking forward to seeing how this area improves.

Already starting to look better! Have some heat stress going on because we hit triple digits over the weekend. Having to up my watering game but not too bad! Thanks for watching! - Castleberry

Thank you so much! Fun one for sure. - Castleberry

[@jdrobbi]

I have areas I that didn't survive the winter. Thought they'd bounce back when temps warmed up. With the wet & cold spring, they more or less just died. After fert & RGS at start of season. When these areas didn't respond, I sprayed D-Thatch & Air8 - going heavier in those spots. Then I painted those areas black with Humic12. Starting to see some green poking through. I'll go out next week w/RGS again. Keep up the great work, Paul

[@NExtDIYLawn]

Glad to hear they are responding! Keep on keeping on and it will bounce back! Thanks for watching. - Castleberry

[@HeavyMetalLawnsAndLandscapes]

Yet another great video. You know, you told me last week to be patient with the compaction cure on my bare spots. I like what you're doing with the weekly apps. We have several days, maybe weeks, in the 90s. And little rain. I have just about everything in the N-ext arsenal, minus the 18-0-1. I think I may go full nuclear unicorn snot to safeguard and continue the progress and protect the lawn.

[@NExtDIYLawn]

Thank you very much! I wish I had rain coming. We hit triple digits this weekend and it is wrecking the lawn! Have to up my watering game for sure. Keep on keeping on! - Castleberry

[@BOB2pointzero]

Not sure if you are still repling here, I found this vid after purchasing these products. Following Allyn LCN warm season plan. I searched his blog for sod care and bare spots, and found info to buy these. So, questions, should I alternate weekly as you mention for sod and bare spots? or the painting the bare spots and apply rgs, but how often to repeat? St aug, gulf warm season. Thanks.

[@towersong]

4k baby!

[@NExtDIYLawn]

Done! - Castleberry

[@SerranoPE]

Nice video man!!! Quick question..I had to spot seed an area along my driveway that got some Belgian block installed and a patch where a bush was removed and the area was filled with a nice topsoil. The seed has germinated and growing but I wanted to know if any of the Greene County products would work nicely with new seed? I have the Bio-Stim pack so I'm ready to make it rain on that seed!! LOL

[@NExtDIYLawn]

I would do a follow-up fertilizer application of 18-0-1 GreenePunch 15-20 days after the seeding. I would do 12 ounces per 1,000 sq. ft. of that and 3 ounces per 1,000 sq. ft. of RGS. Resume regular fertility program at 30 days Post-Seeding. Meaning, rotate back to label rates and timing of GreenPunch and the Bio-Stim pack. Hope that helps! - Castleberry

[@brentsherrod9133]

👍

[@RVALawnLove]

Got some spots I might try this on

[@NExtDIYLawn]

It will work! Your yard is looking awesome! - Castleberry

[@k.emond148]

Great information... I have a question about summer heat and the product application. I have been using the N-EXT products since the fall after my re-seeding (starter pack purchaed from GCI) So, now that the HOT weather has arrived do I understand correctly that de-thatch and Air-8 should be applied together? And these products should be applied every 2-3 weeks at a rate of at least 3oz per 1,000 sq ft?

[@NExtDIYLawn]

Great question! Heat is going to help D-Thatch do its job really well. So now is a great time to apply it. Apply at a minimum rate of 6 ounces per 1,000 sq. ft. and a maximum rate of 9 ounces per 1,000 sq. ft. Dilute with enough liquid to cover 1 acre. Do not apply with less than 7:1 dilution with water. Product can be applied as often as every three weeks depending on thatch layer thickness. For the Air8, you can stick to the 3 ounces per 1,000 square feet once a month. Hope that helps. - Castleberry

[@k.emond148]

@@NExtDIYLawn thanks for the information Castleberry..Can they both be "thrown down" at the same time??

[@NExtDIYLawn]

I like the every other week approach. RGS one week will help drive the roots of the turf while Humic12 the next week will pump carbon into the ground to strengthen and extend nutrients to last longer. So by rotating between the two, we are training the turf to do something different each week, which will in the long term, will make it healthier and look better. We want long term gains, not short term!

[@jordannarlock5767]

What do you and Mr. Perry suggest for a good mid-summer potassium additive, in case you are not trying to push growth in extreme heat up north in cool season grasses? It's always a problem, and feel like that is when i start screwing the lawn up a little...Thanks!!!

[@NExtDIYLawn]

Great question. John likes 7-0-0 and Air8 for summer time.

[@jamespope2407]

I have same issue spots thinning out. RGS did the trick till the heat hit. I have a lot of bed rock (Pebbles) in my soil. Not real sure what to do at this point. I let it grow little over 1inch still will brown up a bit till I water in evening and it bounces back. Top dress maybe??

[@NExtDIYLawn]

What turf type are we talking about? - Castleberry

[@dwright7943]

🍀

[@JasonDurso]

You may want to consider getting rid of that tree also. Root competion and once it gets larger shade.

[@NExtDIYLawn]

That might happen in the future. Good with it for now! Thanks for watching. - Castleberry

[@MarkAJ311]

Gotta work on that sprinkler management! Haha

[@NExtDIYLawn]

Yeah...that was a real pisser offer for sure! - Castleberry

[@FluffiB3]

Can you store N-Ext products in your garage that gets up to 100 degrees in the summer?

[@NExtDIYLawn]

So long as you do not store it in direct sunlight, you should be fine! - Castleberry

[@drewmadere9935]

Thank Big Guy! Having same issue..... are you 💦 watering every day the troubled areas? Are just doing the Special treatment.......

[@NExtDIYLawn]

Most welcome! Aiming to get an inch every week! Just moving the old school sprinkler around the yard. Its a task but helping! Thanks for watching. Keep on keeping on! - Castleberry

[@Jjredred]

Do you plan on irrigating manually on regular basis? Only asking because I don’t have irrigation and going to try to not do any manual irrigation this year

[@NExtDIYLawn]

Going to aim for getting an inch of water down every week! Especially since we hit triple digits over the weekend! Hope to have a system put in one day in the future. - Castleberry

[@lesliechiodini9118]

Dethatch soon? I thought this step would come closer to fall before seeding. I have never used the product but want to instead of power raking. I usually rake before over seeding in the fall.

[@Jjredred]

leslie d thatch product just digest the thatch and dead grass , feeding your soil after it breaks them down. This should be done from now until fall cold temps start

[@NExtDIYLawn]

Heat helps D-Thatch do its job better. I wanted to wait until temps were consistently 85 or higher. Well, this past weekend, we got into the triple digits!!! So, yeah, time to bust out D-Thatch. I will have a video about that one here soon. - Castleberry

[@NExtDIYLawn]

Thanks for jumping in and responding! Now is a great time to incorporate some D-Thatch into programs. Keep on keeping on. - Castleberry

[@andrewbrackin6149]

How do you like the chapin push sprayer? Can it use a 2 nozzle boom?

[@NExtDIYLawn]

Love it! Makes for an easy task spraying down the N-Ext products. It needs a bit of a modification to use a 2 nozzle setup but it is possible. I am going to do something like this... thelawnforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=74&hilit=chapin+97900&start=320#p34768 Thanks for watching! - Castleberry

N-Ext DIY Lawn good deal, I’ve read that whole thread already and forgot haha. Thanks for the reminder!

[@bossthoughtress]

Brother, I need some advise I have been using these products since last summer and me and my grass are still struggling. Short end Irma took out a corner of my house via the next door neighbors 200ft rotten Oak tree. Soo, i cut down 10 of my tress just in the front yard. I hygroseeded bermuda in the front cause dude said , it will blend with the centipede... NOT. So then I seeded perennial rye over it last fall , Looked great for Christmas, when company came. But now I got 2 different colors again. 3k Centipede and 5k half ass Bermuda On a corner lot. Don't know whether to kill it all this Fall and try titan Turf type, or....? Come see me Please Im in Stone Mountain. I can't be trusted with this decision.

[@kevinscott6372]

What's up man? Question for you. I painted a few areas black 6oz of humid 12 gallon of water. It rained and I put water on it. And I can see where I sprayed. Is it stained or what's the deal? Thanks for your vids

[@NExtDIYLawn]

It will leave a stain for a little while. All is well. - Castleberry

[@kevinscott6372]

@@NExtDIYLawn Thanks man. I figured that but wanted to ask the dude that's deals with this stuff.

[@u-town3233]

Paul, do you hit the lawn with GreenPunch every month....didn't say in the video! I know from previous videos that you hit the lawn with Bio every month, but the GreenPunch should it be hit every 6 to 8 weeks or monthly?

[@arttully7982]

Paul- how do you recommend using Greeneffect vs Microgeen

[@NExtDIYLawn]

7-0-0 GreeNe EfFect is best used during the summer months when temps are high. For warm and cool season lawns, apply as an additive to regular fertilization program during summer months at a rate of 8 ounces per 1,000 sq. ft. for chlorotic or iron deficient plants. Mix with water at a minimum 7:1 dilution. Apply directly to foliage. Hope that helps! - Castleberry

[@arttully7982]

when applying N-ext products do you need to take into consideration applying before of after mowing or can it even be applied same day as mowing?

[@NExtDIYLawn]

Awesome question. I am leaning towards an after mow application, though it can be done either way. Whatever works with your schedule. - Castleberry

[@arttully7982]

@@NExtDIYLawn so no harm if done right after mowing- same day?

[@rogergrant992]

Does RGS help with rhizome growth/spreading in bermuda as well? Or humid and fert?

[@rogergrant992]

Humic...

[@NExtDIYLawn]

Yes it will! A combo of both RGS and Humic12 will make that Bermuda sing! That is how I got mine to fill in. Thanks for the question and watching! - Castleberry

[@BrianVaughn]

Why not mix the two together in one application?

[@NExtDIYLawn]

RGS and Humic12 are going to do different things. RGS will give us foliar uptake from the fulvic acid and kelp. Humic12 is humic acid in its purest form and will help make things function stronger. - Castleberry

[@KenyonPayne]

Can I buy next products if I live in Ottawa?

[@NExtDIYLawn]

We are currently not setup to ship internationally. - Castleberry

[@BooTangClan]

Please could you explain the reason for applying RGS one week and humic the next, instead of putting them both down weekly at the same time

[@BooTangClan]

N-Ext DIY Lawn Thanks, I’ll try that. I still don’t understand why the turf couldn’t manage both at the same time as well as it could when split, unless it’s like trying to multitask, and effectively you end up doing neither task as well as you would have been able to do just one by itself? Kinda allowing the turf to focus on a single goal weekly?

[@BermudaBrian]

Where's Paul at now?

[@koomo801]

is your yard old enough (and has it cycled enough) to warrant D-Thatch? That will be interesting!

[@NExtDIYLawn]

Put an application down this weekend! Looking good. - Castleberry

[@brianschmitz6188]

Makes sense, but why not just really throw down and put both on at the same time and really paint the bad areas black?
