Love the videos gets my excited about the new season to come. Thanks for making the great videos. Learned so much. Thank you sir.

[@milesherbst2172]

Thanks so much for the awesome video as well as all of your others! This is our first spring in our very first house and I'm excited to get the yard in top shape. I'm ordering the Bio-Stimulant Pack right now!

[@denisbrisebois7658]

Pete...every time I have a chance, I am watching your videos, sometimes 2-3 times the same one. I am learning so much and I like it. I am like a sponge. Taking it all in. Thank-you so much for doing what you do and teaching us what you know best. A+++

[@brobert2.077]

Thanks Pete for another awesome video.

[@gerrenshaw8265]

Your pure honesty immediately won my like and subscription. Much love and respect.

[@Ptcountyfarmer]

Mind blown, jumping out my socks with excitement, what a great and knowledgeable video Pete! Thank you Pete! Looking forward to taking the lawn to the next level 😎 God bless #getyourdirtright

[@HeavyMetalLawnsAndLandscapes]

Just now finding this video. This time last year you were under 3,000 subs. Now you are over 31,000. That's incredible.

[@billhults8629]

GREAT vid. "Watched" this on the way in to work today (eyes were on the road). First, excellent blow-by-blow on these products. There's a lot here, and a lot to choose from....but what do I choose?! This helped, immensely. Second, I think you're moonlighting for the Snapple Corp - you just love you some Sun Drop. Those bottles keep popping up!

[@scottterry4590]

Thanks, that helped me and I have my friend ordering the Stim Pack as well.

[@JohnLeibfried]

Great explanation on the products Pete

[@troyhenry3267]

Pete, appreciate your explanation of the products. I've recently started applying the bio-stimulant package, and I'm already seeing results. Thanks!!

[@csjr9]

Really appreciate your breakdown and explanation of stimulants for the soils biology! #Salute

[@NanaNana-zk4ky]

I love their product it’s works like crazy

[@DarElBarka]

Thanks Pete - this Video is what was missing for me. I'm gonna go ahead and purchase the Bio Pack. By the way, i'm a member of ur Academy under Issaga.

[@sneedoh3186]

Thanks for the info, bought humic12+rgs combo from your site. Hope it ships fast!

[@Legendary_UA]

Great video. A perfectly laid out program explaining why each is there.

[@Cenlalowell]

Got some for Christmas can not wait until spring

[@DavidSchertz]

Thanks for explaining everything. I really like the educational portion of this video. As a professional film maker let me give you one quick tip. The reason everything kept getting out of focus is you that didn’t have enough light. If you need to film in the evenings maybe pick up a couple, that should help.

[@jcompton001]

Pete, Great video! Thanks for all the information. I live in Indiana. Is it too late to get the started with the bio stimulant package this summer? Should I wait til next spring?

[@paulc9973]

Thanks for that video. I hope you'll be doing the Poa video and spot treatment. I only had Speedzone and I just ran out and waiting for the Academy post herbicides and videos.

[@GCITurf]

Paul C I’ll be doing the post vids real soon

[@relaxmeditatechill3323]

Yessir.....will be ordering all 3 systems...please put together a warm grass program.....

[@GCITurf]

sure kleen thanks! The warm season program is just about done

[@henrytaylor69]

great video which package would be the best for SOD prep an care for the new SOD.

[@BermudaBrian]

Great explanation of all the products.... Layman terms

[@neilwines3024]

We have mean clay in South Carolina!!! Going to order some of your products. Thanks and keep the videos coming.

[@GCITurf]

Neil Wines yes sir! Same mean clay here in NC! You’ll be impressed at how well this helps your clay soil!

[@jammkemp]

Hey Pete, Love the channel. I'm most likely going to have to a full restoration this fall to get my lawn where it needs to be. I've already started working on the weeds. What other steps can I take this spring and summer to help prepare for this fall. Would it be beneficial to start using these bio-stimulants to help the soil?

[@GCITurf]

Thanks you for watching. The bios will most certainly help!!! #getyourdirtright

[@kevinmitchell8056]

Hey Pete got another question for ya. I'm in Louisiana and have a mix of St. Aug, Centipede, and Bermuda grass in my yard. I don't think your Academy program would fit my yard so where could I get a Bio program to know when to put down the different Bio-Stimulants in my yard? Thanks!!

[@danwilliams667]

What's your thoughts on how many days you should wait before you cut your grass after you apply bio-stimulant.

[@grasshopper2522]

Is it recommended to use a surfactant with the bio stimulant package? Also should I use the citrus acid to level out the ph?

[@FrankieKennethL]

Is this a good product to apply to recent planted sod to stimulate their roots integration into new location?

[@benharrison1069]

Very long, but very informative video, Pete! Thanks so much for explaining each product. I learn a lot watching it. One question though - Can you/should you put down combinations of those products in one sprayer application or would you recommend separate applications for each product? Also, do you recommend a mechanical aeration plus using the Air-8 or is using the Air-8 sufficient enough? Thanks for the great videos, Pete, and keep 'em coming! :-)

[@GCITurf]

Ben Harrison depends on how much water you are putting down with it as to how many different products you apply at once. Not sure on the aeration/Air8 deal yet. I’m still testing that.

[@danielfifield3340]

What's the ratio, and can you put down more than one at a time?

[@bangarang74]

You just cost me hundreds. Thanks, I hate it, but I also love it.

[@BrettSucks]

Nice video Pete , please make this a available to the uk , pleeeese.

[@craiglarbes1546]

Hey Pete, Is there a shelf life for these products? I’m starting to get more into taking care of my lawn this year.

[@tomguertin7713]

Good job Pete. Hope they work for me.

[@dewayneoverton466]

Lawn looks great during the growing season except for late July and August. Hoping the air 8 and rgs will help combat that this year.

[@maggarlion]

This is my second yr working on my lawn as a DIY. Did a complete reseed with Perennial Rye and Tall Fescue with some Kentucky BlueGrass. Now the lawn is looking great apart from a few weeds here and there. I guess these weeds is the other from my grass seeds. This yr I deliberately didnt do any preemergent for crab grass because I didn't see any. I applied weed and feed. I add fertilizer twice since coming out of winter. Now I am preparing for the summer and thats where RGS, NeXt Aerate , Next Detach , Next Micro Greene comes in. I have already added Hydretain and. I will be working with them during the summer while cutting back on high nitrogen fertilizer . Stay tuned.

[@mikenotta7079]

Hey Pete, I know this is an old video and you're a very busy fella, but I was wondering if you still use Air8? Can it replace mechanical aeration or supplement mechanical aeration. Thank you!

[@roylesueur7510]

Morning Pete, I make by own humic acid and kelp blend by buying powder form and mixing with water, I also make a special blend mixing soap and yucca, what are your thoughts on these. Does any of your bio stuff contain sodium lauryl sulfate which is basically soap???? Or yucca???

[@GCITurf]

Great comment. Ive been mixing this mixture for 10 years before I found RGS. It does not have those in it but my Natural Adjuvant does have yucca as one of the ingredients

[@dnjimenez12]

First of all just wanna say awesome job........where can I buy your products?

[@tonybowman32]

Thanks for all the great info on all these products!

[@bowmadman9562]

Pete, I really enjoy your down to earth, common sense approach to explaining these products and all things turf for that matter... I am curious if there is a way we can buy these products individually?

[@GCITurf]

Bow Mad Man you’re quite welcome friend. We can only offer these packages for right now. I do have some pretty Cool ideas I will run across them in the near future

[@bowmadman9562]

GCI Turf Services OK thanks Pete... Looking forward to more updates!

[@littlefinkle7757]

I just bought a home that has a good stand of Bermuda. We are in summer, what can I do to get it to choke out some of the weed or wild grasses? The front yard is in lots better shape than the back. I have 1.5 acres and 0 trees. I live in the northeastern most part of Mississippi.

[@Justsomedude64]

How does Air8 compare to just using gypsum for compact soil?

[@tkskagen]

How do YOU recommend that I take care of "KILL" the Shotweed in my lawn? It has taken over 1/2 of my 6,000sqft Back Yard... Sadly, I have a serious back injury that limits my ability to physically pull weeds... (3 degenerate discs in my lower Lumbar to my SI joint) Many thanks for sharing this video with me! Take care, and I hope that your family had an AWESOME Easter, 🤓-Thomas

[@fatboy601000]

the bio pack do they all to get watered in or jus what you spray down and not watered in

[@neighborhoodlawncaremainte9847]

Thank you. I'm in Georgia. Near Savannah. Primary Centipede and Bermuda grass. Can I use the Bio Pkg ?

[@kingkon164]

I have the same setup as you with centipede in the front and bermuda in the back. Did you purchase any of these products and if so would you recommend?

[@Thisandthatdude]

Can you spray the flora green on spruce trees for extra growth?

[@MagnumVideos]

Hey Pete: Does Air-8 help really compacted soil? Or RGS? I'm going to put down some Humic acid this week and see if that produces any results in loosening the soil. I've heard mixed reports of gypsum so I don't know if that helps or hurts.

[@johnmininger7472]

Matt just released a video explaining why gypsum is a waste of money in all but very rare cases.

[@thricecrazy33]

humic acid is a byproduct id organic beakdown. its a chelating agent as it serves to communicate between plant and soil. when a plant chemically asks for something, chelators will make that available.

[@rodgersandrodgers8191]

Fulvic comes from humic. Fulvic is a small molecule coming from a breaking down of a larger molecule. It is considered an older molecules because it took longer to break down. You can remember this way, F is a smaller letter than H. Smaller things come from bigger things as they break down. Think of a rock. A rock will turn into a pebble eventually.

[@BooYahPower]

How did the test of Air-8 workout? Very interested

[@rbljackson]

Pete...I just ordered the bio stimulant pack. I picked up the sprayer nozzle and trim nozzle too. I considered the academy but is the academy primarily Tall fescue based? We don't have much of that here in west Texas. primarily Bermuda and St Aug.

[@GCITurf]

rbljackson it for now. But that’s about to change. I’m building the warm season program now. Will release it soon

[@aldoe9]

rbljackson I'm in west Texas as well. Del Rio to be exact. Lots of compaction and extremely alkaline soil. Using granulized sulfur for PH and the Next biostimulant pack to help unlock some nutrients. Order coming soon. Well see.

[@dangross7894]

Help! If I do not want to use chemicals for existing weeds can the bio stimulant package be used to build a healthy soil and slowly eliminate weeds? If so, what "general" sequence and amount of each product do you recommend?

[@dskrpncs]

I have carbon-x and the cousin of x kit from LCN. Cousin of x replaces RGS with Dethatch. Does the 3lb/1000 of carbon x provide the same amount of RGS as 3oz/1000 of the liquid RGS?

[@BennyGeorgenewyork]

Pete, can Bio-stimulants be used in Vegetable gardens?

[@fabianbartalos]

Just ordered my biostimulant pack here in Va. and cant wait to apply it, but also applied some pre-emergent for crab grass. Do you think that the bio-stim package with RGS and Humic is good for nitrogen hungry hop plants? I need to add some to stimulate some early growth for the hops. What is your take on that besides grass? thanks

[@GCITurf]

Fabian Bartalos air8 and Humic12. But here’s the plant and shrub pack. This would probably be best www.gciturfacademy.com/product/shrub-tree-palm-pack/

[@MrColefaulkner]

What do you recommend to try first, the humic 12 or the rgs?

[@tashrayt4398]

Can you combine the four biostimulants at once when spraying in late spring?

[@nnahler]

It’s a year later but the answer is no, it can be redundant and clog the sprayer. In the directions they said you can mix two at a time but I can’t recall which two.

[@kerlonbrowne653]

When using a 2gal spray can with the recommended rate at 3oz per 1000 sq.......do I fill the can to the 2gal mark?

[@airforcelogistics3301]

Thanks 🤩

[@hdmoviesource]

Hey Pete, I have a 32 ounce hose end sprayer, how many ounces of RGS from the bio-stimulant pack would you use? Thanks.

[@BMETFerg]

HD MOVIE SOURCE 3-6 oz per 1k. Using the lower setting on the hose end sprayer until all of it has been sucked from the container.

[@MikahBoxer1]

Would need to know how much coverage each product and how often to use

[@genemanning2236]

Hi Pete! i have about 20,000 sq ft of lawn. will the BioStimulant Package be enough?

[@bradflood7112]

Hey Pete. Is the turf academy store out of pre emer. I don’t see an option to order

[@roylesueur7510]

Morning, can you put this stuff down with hose end sprayer?????

[@GCITurf]

Roy Lesueur I don’t see why you couldn’t. It should work fine

[@rogerjohnson4998]

Hey Pete. I know this is an old video and I hope to get a reply back. I just bought a house and my lawn is over ran by wild violets and other weeds. Now I know nothing about this lawn care stuff but I’m wanting to learn so I can have a beautiful lawn like all the lawns on my street! With all that being said I have put down some of Scott’s weed and feed 2 weeks ago. Doesn’t look like it’s doing anything noticeable on the weeds. I’m about to join your academy so I can get some more info on the how to. What do you sale. That you would recommend for me to put on my lawn this late in April? I live in Elizabethtown.Kentucky I’m struggling so I hope to here back from you

[@jeffwilliams6101]

Please do a video soon on how to take your yard to the N-ext level? :-D

[@PaintballFreak817]

Can you please explain how Greene Start works. I will be seeding this fall and not a single KZbinr or webpage covers, in detail, about this particular product. I’ve got the air8, rgs, and micro green, ready for purchase off the gci website but I just need one more product for the box. Considering I will be doing a renovation and then seeding in the fall, “Greene start” (hence the “start”) sounds like a product I would be using for a new lawn.

[@PaintballFreak817]

P.s I didn’t mention Humic12 because I will be ordering Anderson’s Humic DG which is pelletized/water soluble. Best of both worlds and longer shelf life.

[@DK-pr9ny]

Hey Pete, is that all TTTF? Looks like you got some KBG mixed in there. Looks amazing. You are dominating! Your neighbors need to get on the GCI program!

[@GCITurf]

D K All TTTF. No KBG that I’ve intentionally put in the yard. I do have like 5 clumps of poa triv that I’m gonna do a video on how to get rid of it. 100% fescue to my knowledge

[@Fedex211]

GCI Turf Services poa triv? I think Tenacity can handle that. I'm having issues with Orchard grass. Any suggestions? Think I may just have to blow some holes.

[@GCITurf]

[@frankc1430]

How about a video on a biostimulant plan?

[@juliocs5483]

Mr. Pete I received my package and wanted to ask if I could combine the RGS and AIR 8 together? Or combine any number of ways the 4 products? Thx

[@GCITurf]

Shouldnt be a problem

[@onecrazywheel]

@@GCITurf You can combine all 4 together? I purchased them as well. You can combine the RGS with Air 8 with Mircrogreen and the Humic 12? Thanks!

[@cotygiles6213]

How long will this pack last in a season Pete? Say with a yard your size. I have a spot in my yard that fescue won't grow over and inch tall. Was tilled up by a Harley rake 3 years ago. Did I mess up the soil composition in this area. ?

[@GCITurf]

Coty Giles soil will be fine. The bio pack covers about 147K squ ft

[@jayq6767]

@Coty. Sir, for 147,000 sq ft is alot. Do you purchase the bio stimulant pack? Do you still today have any of that same pack left over?

[@dbrinson1982]

Pete - I have a backpack sprayer with manual pump. How do I know how much of your liquid product to apply? Thanks for all your videos. I’m a fescue guy and live not too far from you.

[@BMETFerg]

Dwane Brinson measure off your property for 1k-2k sqft areas. Apply the product at 3-6oz with a gallon of water per 1k sqft.

[@sfelmey]

I have construction damage on crappy clay soil. I did a soil test and its basically low on everything (surprisingly the PH isnt bad). Can I spray Humic12 and RGS on the soil before/after tilling and seeding? If not, what would be the optimal way to do it?

[@GCITurf]

EnterNameHere you can apply those both before and after

Pete that lawn is already looking like you can do the backstroke across it. I applied the same 3 products and mine still looks like your test plot. We are getting a couple days of rain so I’m hoping to get that breakthrough soon. I’m in a stiff competition with the guy across the street from me and I can’t wait to bust his tale this year.

[@GCITurf]

americantroy77 did you fertilize in conjunction with the bio stimulants?

[@americantroy77]

Sorry sir I didnt see the attachment

[@scottgaither9195]

Pete, One more question when comparing your grass seed to others like Scott’s, Rebel etc. why does it appear there seed only adds up to about 50% of the bag along with 50% of some fertilizer/coatings and yours is almost 100% seed ?

[@brobert2.077]

Pete I did email you on this question you can answer the question here or just email.As a member: is the Adjuvant starter package different than the N-EXT?

[@GCITurf]

David Schram yes. Green county fertilizer makes the n-ext. the Natural Adjuvant is my brand

[@indialewis7320]

Will there be a way to only buy 1 gallon products that at need instead of an entire package? For example 3 gallons of Air 8, etc

[@GCITurf]

I am working on that to make it possible

[@brobert2.077]

Same question

[@chrisnasser7337]

Hi Pete, I am interested in purchasing the Bio Stimulate package and had a few questions. Can you mix all 4 at once and put them down at the same time? Also I'm going to aerate and seed early September should I put it down before, during or after aeration and seeding?

[@GCITurf]

I would mix 2 at the time and spray then mix the other 2 and spray. You can apply them at or before or after seeding

[@chrisnasser7337]

Thanks Pete my 4 year old son and I love watching your videos! He goes around yelling "Pete GCI turf, Get your dirt right!" Going to purchase the Bio Stim package and some seed now. Thanks for all the great videos. Waiting the results on your test plot. Do you know when those are coming out?

I have been doing mainly mowing on the side for a couple years, but last week I made the business an official LLC but to be honest, I'm more passionate and interested about the type of work your company does and would love to transition into more turf services. I want to further my knowledge on this, I see you offer the turf academy and was wondering if this would be a good fit for someone like me. Also what other avenues do you recommend me seeking out to learn more about turf services. I apologize for the lengthy question. Thank you in advance!!
