I live in the transition zone so last year decided to renovate my front lawn from tall fescue to bermuda, my back yard is still tall fescue. It's been warm here and my bermuda is waking up and ttf out back is growing vigorously and spring weeds are trying to come in. And we are redoing our front flower beds. Lots of work to do!

@allyn have you read about no dig, where you don’t dig or disturb the soil surface instead you apply organic matter/compost to the surface. This allows the structure of the soil to establish and support plant roots better because the soil provides anchorage and the soil microbes work better because they’ve established connections. Less weeds as the soil not recovering, weeds normally grow when soil been disturbed and is recovering. I

Great video !! I started mowing twice (sometimes 3 times) a week last year. Made a huge difference.

My lawn now looks the best it ever has this time of the year because some lawn care nut told me to use Bioadvance 3-2-1. And it worked.

[@andrea.rivers]

Last two seasons I've used a liquid aerator and it HAS made a difference. We have a very rainy winter (PNW) and it definitely wasn't as sopping wet this last winter. I am having core aeration done this year for the first time. I have clay based soil so it definitely will need it. But for the most part, I will attest to the liquid stuff working on my lawn.

[@LawnJourneys]

Being in the north east I sharpen monthly but hold up in spring until after first cut. I cut lower than normal and inevitably hit debri. Picked up 3 barrels of sticks today!

Greetings from a Lawn Care Lady from Germany 😄

[@robertjones7023]

Hi Allyn! I am in Upstate NY, my soil temp was 47 yesterday, but at the road, in my neighborhood, next to the curb I saw 3" tall crabgrass clumps. I decided to throw down! I started with Scotts 3 in 1. Also, I have a huge moss problem! In a few areas, it is 2" deep!!! I threw down Scott's moss killer. So as a beginner, this is my first real investment to take control of my lawn, it is looking horrible now. First, I measured my lawn areas and did the math for pounds on the ground (18,000 sf, all in, I spent about $200ish). I applied with a hand spreader because that is what I am comfortable with. My goal this year is to kill the moss, get healthy infill growth and reduce weeds, I have crabgrass, plantain, and creeping charlie, and a few other minor weeds. By far my biggest problem is moss. Am I on the right track? Thanks for all the information, I love your videos!

Wooo boy that lawn is looking nice Al. Assuming the rain holds out I'll be swapping snow clearing for mowing stuff from the shed this weekend.

[@anthonyychapa]

In Texas and recovering a poor lawn. It was in good shape prior to the freeze. I mowed a notch lower, threw down the starter fertilizer, applied some RGS, and gave it a good soaking. Hoping this will help kick things off before I start applying more bio stims on a regular basis.

[@kylebacc]

Kyle from Naples here. Hair and beard look great. Lawn looks great. Got your stress blend sitting ready to go. It's going down on Tuesday morning. Sprayed your prodiamine 65 WGD week before last. I'm pumped for this summer! Cheers bro!

[@alec5545]

Glad to hear you say mowing is half the battle. Last year I went a little overboard with granular apps every month, all the "cides" and liquid biostims. This year with a toddler and another on the way I'm planning to keep it simple and focus on the fundamentals.

[@thefpvlife7785]

Soul temps here in NJ are still to cool at around 46 degrees. Just a gentle rake.

[@charlesgregorio9890]

I have tall fescue in Las Vegas. First day of spring. I did my first mow of the year. I took a chance and instead of 3in1 I put some patch master in some big bare spots that I have from my dog and threw some seed down in thin areas along with starter and organic fertilizer and I know it’s a pass/fail in the spring but had these open bags that I wanted to use. Front and back yards total barely 1000sqft. One of the few remaining lawns in my neighborhood. If I get some gains great. If not, I’ll hit it hard in the fall. Your channel influences me greatly to take care of my small plot of land. 🙏

[@TheLawnCareNut]

with a small lawn like that, all the rules are out the window - just push it!

How is mowing the most important thing if the grass won't grow. I coined the term "can't mow if it don't grow"

[@chevyvega6622]

a note on the green county products, 18 0 1 and micro green. I applied both of these on the same day at the lowest rate to TTTF, and ended up with an off brown dull colored grass with dark almost purple speckles on the leaf blades, indicating way too much iron. Im sure it will recover, but have learned never to use two or more products together at the same time with iron in each, creating a total above what is healthy for the grass being worked on, even if there is no indication on the labeling

[@crocrum]

Just learned in turf school that a study was done that mechanical aeration has little to no affect on pre emergents in the spring due to the fact that you’re taking so little surface area out of the lawn

The lawn boot camp clip was awesome... GI Joe-ish...lol The liquid Air8. I buy the Stim pack from you ... But I use Air8 as a suppl to my mechanical aeration and to my other applications. I just can't wrap my head around a liquid doing the same thing as mechanical.... Mechanical, we are plugging actual plugs and opening the ground up. Then we are able to get air. Water. And nutrients 4-6" down. I also do a pre-emergent appl after mechanic aeration.

[@cvolante8032]

I'm in South Florida and I feel like I really have to adjust most of the advice I get on this channel and other lawn care channels because the conditions are similar, but such a different animal even from Central Florida. I've been putting down Sunniland's Iron Plus and Weed n Feed periodically throughout winter and a few small apos of Milo and my lawn is poppin. I'm about to try the N-ext bio pack, minus the Air8 which I sub'd with D-Thatch because I don't really have compaction issues at the moment. My point is, repitition of Allyn's advice has brought me to the point where I finally truly understand what is going on in my yard. "Eventually it will all just click" is something he says frequently, and it has. It really is all about good soil health in preparation for the summer months. Preparedness for battle. I'm a former Marine and I live across the street from a former sailor, so when he comes over to ask what I'm doing to my yard that makes it look like the 4th of July is next weekend, the natural order of everything feels alligned. Ironically, I had to borrow his truck to go get some new palms. Go figure. Thank you, Sir.

Last year, here in NJ, my lawn was looking beautiful by following your channel and I thought I was a pro until Pythium came my way and did a number on my grass. I thought it was lack of watering and I made it worse. But this season I am ready to include a treatment into my calendar to prevent fungi infections. What do you think about liquid copper?

[@teter129]

Can you, or have you done a video on sandy soils? I'm on the panhandle and the contractors here just rolled out turf directly over sand. So I'm trying to determine if I need to add top soil periodically?

we have sandy soil here too - it's actually great but it just drains water really fast. Hit the sod with this at 3oz/1000 now and again every 2 weeks thelawncarenut.com/collections/liquid-fertilizer/products/n-ext-rgs-root-growth-stimulant

I want to have the protective layer against crabgrass, but I want the bare spots to (hopefull) fill in from last summer's mini drought. Also, could you do a video on how to properly mow with a zero turn mower? I purchased one last summer and loved cutting the grass, but not being proficient on the new mower and mini drought caused ruts and bare spots in my lawn. Love the videos, please keep them coming!

[@3mt696]

Hey Alan, I know your busy but I have an important questions. My local stores seem to only carry lesco 0 -0-7 my weather is 50’s right now but some days high 50s. I bough 6 big bags of 007. But I am not sure when to put down. The bag says late April which seems to late as the grass is looomg greener each day and by late April it will be green. It’s fescue. Each bag covers 17k and my yard is about 4 times this. I use a Scott’s mini spreader. Also, can I put down seed after I apply the 0-0-7. I don’t want to screw up my lawn. Last year crab grass took over my lawn so I need some help. I called a local company to just spray but I don’t trust them. They didn’t seem all that knowledgeable and smelled like they had a few beers before arriving
