Keep up with the great work! Your channel is refreshing. You're not flashy, you're right to the point and you talk to us like we are standing next to you.

[@bhan9637]

Absolutely love your chanel, your story and everything you have going on. For the first time in my life I im in a period of unemployment and after watching some of your videos (spring overseeding) , it inspired me to start a chanel (DIY peat moss spreader was my first video). I have been at it a month and am around 450 subscribers. I have tons to learn about editing, and am constantly working on being more comfortable in front of a camera. I am constantly working on yard projects and doing home improvements so thats what my channel will be about. Anyways thanks for always putting out great content and shareing your knowledge, I have never been so excited to take care of my yard!

[@matthorsman13]

Inspiring to read your comment. Even moving backwards is better than not moving at all. Never stop moving. Keep your head up and good luck!

More of these please. I am super interested in knowing more about these different products from Lawn Supply

[@DaivG]

Your minimal effort is what I’ve been referring to my Medium Effort Lawncare. I’ve been telling people minimal effort is three things: to sharpen your blades at least twice a season, set your mower above 2 1/2 inches, and cut twice a week. Medium effort involves fertilizer regiments and some kind of appropriate watering schedule. Thanks for covering a spectrum that different people can relate to, it’s motivational to see what’s possible without going all out because for some people all out is beyond what they’re willing to take on, but they’ll take steps to get there if they can see what’s possible at each step.

[@chelseamiller6208]

Ryan, we live in DSM and our yard needs your HELP!

[@backpacker3421]

For me and my lawn/soil, I have finally settled on a hybrid granular and soluble approach. I use a granular heavy in micro nutrients and fairly well balanced in macros as the growing season starts in the spring, and again in mid to late fall. I have started adding biochar to that because we have soil pretty poor in organic material. Then I supplement with a high nitrogen soluble monthly in between, and use solubles to lay down humic and liquid kelp when appropriate.

[@enzomoya1689]

Congrats on your company and and channel success! Your channel is one of the biggest reasons I’m interested in my yard now.

[@frankposterello1628]

You're comment about the prill size was so timely enlightening! I'm struggling with spreaders because I was essentially trying to 'spoon' feed with granular. And my spreader is very inconsistent at low rates, and that's why - the prill is just too big for the small opening at low rates and it's very erratic and inconsistent. I end up turning it higher and jogging. I think I need to search for nice small prills!

[@geeq502]

Just bought GreenORR sp and glad I found this video. Maybe a new video using your products and how to use in the future would be great for us new newbies.

I am curious on adjusting your tap water to allow the foliar to dissolve better. Went down a rabbit hole of looking at my water I use for irrigation and possible effects it it doing to soil.

Ryan, quick question/ scenario. I used your perennial ryegrass to overseed in the middle of April. Mowed and used weed and feed by Scott's last weekend. Watered in the morning and applied it shortly after and didn't water again for about 30ish hours. Now Thursday, all the weeds are dying in the lawn, but some of the grass has some brown to it. I water about 6 hours gor about 15 minutes. It's not too bad and you can't really see it unless you're right on top of it. I was wondering if you had any thoughts about what happened and any suggestions. Washington State is my location.

[@johnds6621]

I use Anderson PGF Complete I like the ratio of NPK and the smaller particle size. i buy it off of Amazon and it comes to my door. I use to use a Lebanon product but never was to happy with it.

[@recordman555]

Great information, Ryan! One question: If it's summertime, how long can a granular fertiliser sit on the lawn before it must be watered in? I'm trying to find that happy place between work schedule and anticipated rain. Thanks!

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

That would depend on which granular you are using/rate/and weather factors as well. Hard to answer specifically

[@cesarcamposmartinez]

A complete amateur here! We recently bought our first house and I am trying to learn how to take good care of my lawn; I am also trying not to be overwhelmed lol. Your channel has been extremely helpful! In regards spreaders, between rotary spreader and drop spreader, which one would I need? What would be the advantages or disadvantages of one over the other? I am looking at the Scott Elite, but not sure if I will be alright with it or if I need a different option. Thanks in advance!

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

For years I only had a rotary type and I recently got a drop just for seeding because it helps to put the seed down without it flying everywhere. Otherwise rotary is fine.

[@cesarcamposmartinez]

@@ryanknorrlawncare I understand. I think I will start with the rotary first, and then evaluate if I also need a drop as I move on. I appreciate your response!

[@adamlittle595]

This might be a random question. But I have two dogs and I'm wondering how long after application do you wait until you allow your dog back on the lawn?

[@wwmilanl]

I have a question for you, are you happy with that Scott's elite? do you recommend it?? Thanks for you videos very informative

[@trekkie1981]

So I have distinct dark green stripes on my yard. Looks like the Scott's spreader sends more spread on one side.

Great vid thanks!

[@matthorsman13]

Dude, get the micro-nutrient soluble suited up and ready to party and I'll try it out down here in GA on my bermuda. That would replace my Super Juice...which I can't buy anywhere anyway. Would love to add it to my Recharge and liquid FE program.

[@matthorsman13]

P.S. If you see my 18 year old self walking around, please don't tell him I used "micro-nutrient soluble", "recharge", "liquid FE", or "super juice" in reference to my lawn. I will definitely get beat up by myself.

[@matthorsman13]

P.P.S. Also don't tell my wife.

[@shaunconway1603]

Another great, informative video. Could you do one on grass going to seed? My tall fescue went to seed heavy this year (despite frequent mowing) and I've been reading it could cause thinning, etc. Info on preventing if possible, but also what to do once it happens would be great.

[@raymond8929]

Mine too!!

[@mikedeboer7447]

Do you use cold or hot water when you mix it. I've read that using hotter 105' to 120' so that the dry product will break down quicker and more easily. I've used the Scott's 4 step programs will very little to absolutely no positive results I live in Nebraska so also cool season. I don't apply any other products to the yard ever but the 4 step program. Recently I've noticed an extreme increase in ALL weeds including thistle, broadleaf, clover, and many that I don't recognize I'm not looking for a perfect lawn ( I don't have the free time for it ) the back yard is along a field that gets far less care other then occasional mowing far less then I give my own yards and most of the weed infestation is from that area. I can't or probably shouldn't use anything that could be hazardous to a cancer patient for obvious reason any suggestions of ways to combat the weed issues would be extremely appreciated. Excellent work on the you tube channel great video. Thanks

[@cameronmelendrez8706]

Hey Ryan, do you have a video or can you recommend one, that goes over how to calibrate a backpack sprayer? i've seen a few different ways to do it, and I'm not sure what is the one right way. Thanks!

[@benhessler2594]

What are your thoughts on the EZ flow fertilizer system or similar products that can be added to your irrigation system?

[@ldware9]

For the first time I used a Scott's brand weed and feed that a friend that moved gave me. Ended up with some burnt grass and weeds on steroids. I'll be going back to my spray application in a week and for the fall. I got TTTF in the front of my house but high and KBG mono strand in the back cut low.

[@ddteamrc6461]

What fertilizer should be used if you're soil is under 5.1 ?

[@smetljesm2276]

Great overview! Than you. I am just getting back into my small lawn I loved the soluable professional fertilisers for my oast hydroponics hobby. - My plan is to get it to fertilise the flower beds using drip line system and venturi valve fertiliser pickup. I even thought about underground line for my small lawn since sprinklers seem ackward for it. Your information about foliar application seems to contradict the effectiveness.

Hey Ryan I watch your vids and learned alot from them. I overseeded this year. my lawn has looked the best it ever has. But I'm afraid cuz my lawn always yellows and starts to look bad in July and August especially around the edges closer to the cement. I water at night. My house faces south I get full sun all day. How can I keep my lawn lush and green like it is now in May in July and August.

I’m looking at your 21-0-0 ammonium sulfate how can I figure out how much N on the ground I’m putting out if I use the 8oz per k rate? Thanks

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

You would calculate just like a granular fertilizer so 1 lb of product would be .21 pounds of N and half pound (8oz) would be .11

[@catherinemullaney8413]

So I think I realized what I’m going wrong with me spreader. Getting dark streaks..I was trying not to overlap the granular Scott’s step1/2/3 but according to how you did it (with your spread going to the previous wheel mark) you are overlapping quite a bit??

[@markchase8128]

I prefer granular applications, but being able to supplement sounds good. I dislike doing liquids now, only applying for occasional spot herbicide and pesticides around the house. I can't imagine walking the lawn weekly on top of mowing, and the 8-10 granular apps I do right now. I find it too tedious, but you do learn a lot about your lawn by slowly walking it like "Oh, that weed wasn't there last week". Maybe if I had a nice push sprayer, the backpack is pretty annoying.

[@dlandes14]

Is it okay to apply granular fertilizer to already wet grass? I really want to get some down but all week where I'm at looks pretty wet.

Couple questions. What's your take on those Weed N Feed fertilizers, and second, will the fertilizer still work if you don't water right away as well? Thanks.

[@michaelrichter9462]

Ryan I'm curious if you have given any thought to using using Iron HEDTA (fiesta, Iron x!, etc.) as a herbicide, and a dark green kicker? Based on the the deep green of your lawn, I assume Iron is use? If so, what (lots of chelated irons to choose from), how much, and how often? My lawn is a complete mess, and now on the ferrous sulfate , Meso 4SC, and 2.4-D/Dicamba recipe. Thinking I can eliminate two of them with feHEDTA . I'll leave amendment/fertilizer discussion for another day. Zone 4A here if that helps.

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

Check out my video from yesterday

[@stephaniefrazee3955]

Ryan I love your videos...Beginner question: Do liquid ferts with nitrogen and iron need to be watered in right away? I've heard some say they will let them sit overnight if they have iron in them for the foliar effects. But, then because of the nitrogen some say water in right away so as not to burn the lawn...Wondering what you would recommend. Thank you for such great content.

[@ryanknorrlawncare]

My go to is apply around dusk and let them sit on the leaf until my usual watering time which is about 4am

[@keanuwick1082]

So I did the spring overseed to a T from the video a year ago. I'm a week and two days in and so far all I see is a light whitning on some weeds....which just started to happen with the past few days. No new grass growth yet that I can see fromthe seed yet. Water like a mofo....only 2 or 3 sunny days in that timeframe though.....should start seeing new growth 2 weeks in right?w
