Thank you my brother! I'm learning a lot from you sir.

[@Terry11111]

Good job Pete

[@MIResident]

Pete, you have all the cool tools!

[@Rkelz9749]

I be so entertained being Pete’s neighbor..... always dropping knowledge and having fun.... be blessed

[@scottsummers6541]

I love my weasel! Never knew about it until watching Pete last year and I went out and purchased one, and it really does the trick

[@ec1ipse14]

I just used mine for the first time yesterday during my overseed. Thank you Pete for recommending it!!

[@duncanbrown7082]

As a boy my friend’s dad had one. I bought mine last month and it has done a great job throughout my lawn.

[@robertkuzak9311]

I love you grass

[@Arlcuts]

Hey Pete, Im in Charlotte, I watch you and Pauls' Prime cuts all the time. I truly understand what the NC red clay is and love it. Nice videos. One of my annual customers watches your videos and is all into what you are doing and watching from Charlotte. Thought that would make you happy. Keep it up. The stinger wheelie is a helpful thing lol. Im still bound by chains till next cycle if you know what I mean.

[@homeydirt2278]

Great channel, too notch. Even better you’re close in Reidsville

[@dccozine]

Thanks again

[@ChopOn414]

My man starts his video by doing a wheelie on the tractor/aerator lol Amazing!

[@jumboslice1514]

Morning Pete. May you have a blessed Sunday. I enjoy all the videos. God bless

[@upscalelawncaremonroe408]

Good info man!!

[@tylerpittmon7936]

Been watching your videos for awhile, whatever you have to say about turf people are going to listen. Your depth of knowledge far exceeds a lot of people tuning into your channel. Don’t shy away from sharing your passion for turf with us just because someone said “you talk too much.” Found your channel about a year ago, and let me just say, my knowledge in commercial lawn maintenance has been rapidly expanded from what I knew and what I’ve been taught from my dad when he had his business. Thank you for that man keep doing what you’re doing.

[@GCITurf]

Tyler Pittmon I appreciate you sir

[@matthewimi]

You're one of a kind, Pete. I appreciate you. 👍

[@billydurbin7053]

I’m 19 years old and I really enjoy every video ,I started a lawn company this year and you teach and motivate me to work and get my business successful like yours . Appreciate you god bless !

[@jjsq22]

Man I wish I had irrigation, just had my lawn renovated, been watering 10,000 sq ft by hand, I'm 5 days in, takes me 1.5 hrs each time watering 2x a day, so I'm 15 hours in lol. Of course it rained all summer, got the lawn reno'd and the forecast was sunny for 10 days straight. I water in the morning, then again in the evening, but it dries out before the evening watering, hope that doesn't screw up my germination. I do see some rye sprouts coming up. I'm 75% tttf and 25% rye. fingers crossed!

[@denisbrisebois7658]

Pete popping wheelies on the Stinger 👍👍.

[@scottfuller1406]

Pete anytime you get bored and want to talk all day ride over to Wake Forest area and come sit on my porch lol.Enjoying your videos learning a lot and hope my yard looks good next year.

[@mhuntercorrell]

I’ve talked about you and your company to my neighbor so much for the past several years, he has canceled his lawn spray service and is letting me help him with all of the bios and GCI Turf products. He is super stoked, as am I! Happy Sunday, Pete!

[@vinnypinatelli221]

I like it when you talk I don't think it's rambling its helpful and great content my brother!!!

[@typedbyben]

it is outrageous how fast that unit is. jiminy

[@repz0611]

Nice wheelie on the stander 😊, always great content. 3 weeks ago I did a renovation on my lawn with some Kentucky blue grass. It’s been taking sometime to sprout but I noticed this week it’s starting to take off. Can’t wait to see the results in a few more weeks.... thank you 🇺🇸

[@TReagan81]

Pete, you're totally taking the stress out of yard work and making it fun and exciting.

[@Keepgoing47]

I absolutely love your videos Pete. Very informative and very encouraging. Keep up the good work. I'm definitely a fan.

[@blankman6626]

It is good to see the garden weasel out on a seed job!

[@matthewburgess2471]

Great tips as always Pete thank you

[@chiefpoopydick]

That test plot already looking good.

[@andyrussell8510]

Pete, I’ve seeded my yard 3 times with your seed. I had two huge washouts early on and now this third time I’m praying for rain. Seeded 12 days ago and haven’t had any rain yet! Pray for some rain in Ohio! Please!

[@GCITurf]

Andy Russell talk about bad luck! Man I remember 2 years ago mine did this! Prayers up bro!

[@sirjustis]

Hey brother randy!! Just want to say God bless you and keeps us all in prayer. The Lord has been extremely faithful to me and my family this year, despite the chaos going on around us. Bless you, man.

[@seansmidwestlawn8991]

Garden Weasel is the most underrated lawn tool

[@robwright3064]

Stuntin’ on the Stinger! Looks fun.

[@tonybowman32]

The test plot is coming in nice!

[@FrancoisLecomte]

Cheers from France, love your content (your good tips and your grass) ! :)

[@grass-patch]

Bought one of those weasels and they do a nice job for shallow cultivating. ~ mike

[@wmf1595]

Those are some nice size dog... plugs. I had a service do my yard on Friday. They used a walk behind Stinger. The plugs were about half the size of yours. I use RGS, Humic12 every month, and Soilx spring and fall. I hope over time the compaction is reduced so good plugs are pulled.

[@shane6002]

You have tought me so much just wanted to say thank you and God bless

[@jimmy3180]

I could watch Pete do wheelies all day!

[@dlvh007]

Looking good Pete. You're just having too much fun though doing those wheelies with that Aerator. Keep up the Good Lords work in those yards!

[@103eaglecrest]

Gotta love the “Weasel”!!

[@macylandscapingretired]

Looking forward to getting my yard plugged and seeded Pete!

[@brianly3222]

The visual for the seeds was really helpful for someone new like me! Thanks!

[@Carolinagroundskeeper]

I got my stinger aerator in last week absolutely love it! If anybody’s in the market to buy an aerator I highly recommend buying one of the stinger aerator. Worth every penny!

[@josecito976]

Awesome! How many happy meals did it set you back??? Also, If anyone knows of a gently used one up for sale hit me up 🤙🏼

[@richscott2952]

What size ?

[@Carolinagroundskeeper]

30 inch paid 14k with The seed hopper

[@evyrapier3717]

I bought your product for the first time! Can you tell me the steps for overseeing!

[@PawelSiczek]

I just did this today! Laid down Pete's TTTF. Can't wait for it to come in.

[@bilalqureshi6667]

Hi Pete... Love the videos and the way you share the knowledge. You're the guy I'm trying to model my lawn after. I got my backyard on track and it looks great but I have a problem with my front yard. I'm struggling with an issue. I did a full overseeding project last weekend with aerate, cut, soil with triple mix, overseed with the types of perennial rye and then starter fertilizer and humic acid treatment. That whole process went well but here's the issue. This week was cooler than expected here in Toronto. No rain. I watered at least twice a day and tried to keep the seeds moist. Unfortunately I haven't had really any growth yet and first is day seven. I'm keeping up the watering but the lawn seems to have slowed down a lot and I am starting to see it browning. I'm worried I'm getting fungus from the over watering but I can't stop because of the seeding. What do I do?

[@kenny19879]

0:08 Smoooooth like a tofu 👌👌

[@82dupont]

Thank you for the video, I did this two weeks ago and put down GCI Cool Blue, I’m extremely happy with the results. Going to stick with your GCI Cool Blue. What I need is a better aerator, rented a Home Depot one and it was not bad but the hill was a monster to deal with. Thanks again

[@nedg3740]

I put cool blue down too. Cant wait to see the results come Halloween. Tttf germinated in 5 days, the kbg about 12 days.

[@MichaelRei99]

Great video! I know overseeding time can be very stressful especially when it’s hard to find time but it feels soo good when that seed comes to life. Thanks for the tips brother!!

[@josecito976]

I’d love to get my hands on that aerator 😍

[@ec1ipse14]

Just did my plug n plant with bluegrass seed yesterday and can get about 20-40% water coverage on my half acre plot. Was really worried with the dry spell we’re having that it was gonna be a total failure. I believe they call that fate that 24hrs later you mention watering if you could but it’s still okay to leave it up to Mother Nature so long as you accept it might not be as good as if you watered manually. For that I say thank you Pete and god bless!

[@blueprint20]

:) one of the best things for a lawn

[@Alex-us2vw]

I just go ham with the seeds than follow up with round up in the beds that got messed up with seeds 😂

[@Bradannas1]

Lawd have mercy! I thought that was Bo Duke on that stinger again!

[@nygrasshole]

Liked before watching. Then watched and tried to like again

[@musselmanmedia5236]

looks like you were having a ton of fun doing wheelies with that aerator!

[@justsayin7314]

I live in PA what would be an ideal grass blend for great color and grass health like a good sod

[@yardlab4936]

Killer thumbnail! That stinger sure gets it done. I really need to think about getting something better than the tow behind I'm using.

[@johnamin7858]

Your TTTF seed just arrived last night. Aerating today 😎

[@logansimpson305]

Great video

[@Smalltechguy]

I thought that wheelie was awesome...lol. Are you growing different grasses for your customers???

[@Lumpygrits76]

Wanted to do a core aeration on my yard. But the ground was wayyyyyyy too hard. Solid tines barely made a dent.

[@teammadcow]

Look at the seed grow in the test plots!

[@mteske1]

I hired someone this year that is a pro and has one of these units. The heck with doing it myself after seeing this thing roll.

[@samuelasamoah6906]

1)Why does the pine straw in the golf course look more dark reddish brown than the pine straw in residential subdivision? 2) how do apply pre-emergent in your natural areas with the pine straw in place, on the pine straw and water-in afterwards?

[@Thisandthatdude]

XSTart & Carbon Earth?

[@reelsroses3268]

Your Aerating pattern is a good idea with no wasted time between passes. I’ve often heard it referred to as a “Zamboni” pattern. You know, the big ice resurfacing machine used at ice rinks.

[@aresmicah3129]

You all prolly dont care but does someone know a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot my password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me

[@josemarquez86]

Pete, pop a wheelie show the world us southern boys how we do it.😂👍 God bless y'all🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Homegardener55]

I had a local lawn company come aerate my lawn, but they only got 1 inch plugs because our ground has been dry for a bit and no rain for the next 7 days even with me watering it, they did have a ride on and you could tell the pressure was turned up. Hopefully we get some rain I put seed down and its hard to keep it wet because my lawn is 20,000 sqft

[@mhuntercorrell]

Hey y’all! Can you mix tenacity with the bio stimulants? I’m trying to cut my steps. Thx

[@MeAlone44]

Core aerator vs Aeravator, which do you think does a better job? In which situations would you aerate and not aeravate?

[@claytonpegram6035]

Hay Pete need some help did a total renovation have some Perry winkle still left over I Have some 4 speed triclopier will this tack it out with a early December app.and a February !Thank you Pete Lv your help!

[@jeremymcclanahan2389]

I would love to see a video that showcases all of your equipment...it would give us newbies an idea of what the big dogs are using

[@BigAshTree8711]

When do you put the starter fert down? Before or after?

[@dippydodaa]

That's 2 steps Pete

[@5stardave]

I can see all that carbon escaping into the air.

[@terrypercy]

Hey Pete, I'm sure you know but another youtuber by the name of Cole the Cornstar, he's also a god loving youtuber with a great positive outlook used your seed for his yard! You're growing as quick as the seed itself!

Man you got that 13k toy it’s a beast

[@donnarizzo3510]

When I have disease or fungus, what should I do before seeding?

[@bobhaddock957]

please explain. = grass seed in random holes. how deep are the holes ? how does the grass seed grow out if the holes ?

[@rndm4642]

I’m hooked on the videos and learning a ton. Thank you for taking the time to make them. I’m growing some of your TTTF right now. Question - If there’s a need and irrigation is in place, can TTTF be established in spring with relative success through the summer heat?

[@GCITurf]

Yes. We’ve done that many times. Not recommended but can be done as long as watering is in place.

[@gregorysampson8759]

Its far too dry to pull plugs :(. Pulling 1/2 to 1 inch at best.

[@attheendoftheday8969]

I swung by The Hungry Hussie's house yesterday (check out his vids) and got his tow grass speader he was throwing out. He said this is a good time of year to aerate, seed, I spent my whole summer doing that. Am I still good to go?

[@An11inchPenis]

Awesome! Just sat down for my morning poo. Got something to watch

Hi sir Pete. Would you recommend a monostand of TTTF in Huntley, IL?

[@OLMasterChief]

When is the best time to dethatch? For eastern Massachusetts

[@FuriousNoVa309]

Did this man really pop a wheelie...

[@dlandes14]

What's the best way to ensure good seed to soil contact over the well established part of the yard (without using a slit seeder)? Can you do a light pass with a power rake to make sure that seed is down deep on the soil surface or would that potentially damage the seed?

[@GCITurf]

Dlandes 14 I like core aeration for what you’re talking about

[@steve2468]

Does the weasel move the seed around too much?

[@jeffreybryson]

Is your TTTF out of stock already? Website says 50 lb isn't available. Are you producing more?

[@quickstepz9250]

Here* I am with my hand held aerator, doing one step at a time. And at 40, it's starting to get a bit tiring. Over 200 meters square.

[@mark33545]

Quick Stepz i did the same but watch out, the hand held aerators make way too deep of plugs! Lots of my seed didn’t make it when i did hand aerating because the seed was so deep in the holes. The plugs were like double the length of the aerator machines

[@quickstepz9250]

mark rossi you know I was thinking it was some very deep holes. I should have went with my gut, and waited. I already seeded. I think it's time to maybe hire a machine.

[@griffincorriher8147]

Hey Pete, thanks for making all these informative videos! What would you put on top of the seed when you do a full renovation?

[@GCITurf]

griffin corriher peat moss. Top soil. Compost. And will work

[@griffincorriher8147]

GCI Turf Services awesome thanks for replying! I just never see it in your videos and wasn't sure.

[@edboggs4066]

I live in Texas (hot summers) what is the best shade grass in your opinion. It needs to be drought tolerant.

[@chadfleming8234]

Great Vid Mr. Pete! Loved the wheely on the Stinger! Does the stinger have a pressure setting on it for the tines? It would be cool if you could do a vid on the stand on aerators and all the bells and whistles on it. I can rent a Toro stand on locally but I would have No idea what pressure setting to set it on. I like the idea of going in with some friends and neighbors to rent one but I do not know the least bit about them, but I can read a manual, LOL! Appreciate the informational content my friend! As Always, Peace and God's Love to All! Chad Upstate NY

[@GCITurf]

Chad Fleming yes. 300 PSI is what I use it on soft ground

[@TheShelton1111]

Go Pete

[@dannypowers4995]

Looks good. How soon after you use the starter fertilizer can you switch over to apply more nitrogen? Example 13-13-13 without burning up your new seedlings.

[@GCITurf]

Danny Powers 30-45 days later

[@timadamany]

Pete, do you prefer this over the Ventrac Aervator?

[@beneua72]

How you deal with sprinkler heads? You flag them b4? I believe no sprinkler system at that lawn...

[@achance007]

I was going to ask too. I use a lawn service and I have to mark them before they will start.

[@HandyGuy2016]

Did you take the seed dropper off the stinger, or do you have more than one?

[@GCITurf]

HandyGuy 2016 we have 4 of these stingers. The one with the seed box is at my shop.

[@HandyGuy2016]

@@GCITurf Awesome brother! Owning that aerator is one of my future business goals 😎
