You are a plethora of knowledge! I've learned so much watching here! My first year my lawn stayed green and full all summer!

[@NEWLIFE-is7bm]

wow! I've lived in Florida my whole life and this video was even very helpful and reassurant to me. Thank you Mr. Alan

[@GrassDaddy]

Very cool video. I'll never move down south so I depend on your videos to get my warm season fix. Crazy how different it grows.

[@bofslime]

This question comes up all the time for those just getting into lawncare. Great video explanation!

[@Thelawncarenut]

Thank you Brian.

[@vinnypinatelli221]

Great video man I loved tremors when I was a kid great movie!!!

[@richardharwell]

This was a great video. I decided to move my cutting height up from 5/8 of an inch to 13/16 of an inch. My yard is very green and growing. in the Pacific Northwest. Temps have been consistently in the mid eighties. " Yard Mastery stress blend" has been awesome, I also used "green punch" with "green phite "as a stress blend liquid experiment. It worked well.

[@natewalls4850]

Love it Allyn, thanks for the info as always. I guess if you’d be seeing all that top growth, that would be a good sign, because that would mean that the stolons are spreading vigorously around. My guess would be that it would be bad if you didn’t because that would mean less turf density and more area exposed for things like weeds or unwanted grasses like the wild Bermuda, try to come in and take over those uncovered areas.

[@bobshelton2812]

Good video, bro. I love the alpha St. Aug also, and have a lawn full of it.

[@Boomer_Sooner]

Very informative mi amigo!!! Thanks again for a great video. I do like how you respond to questions down in the comment section. A lot of KZbinrs do not interact with viewers. Much respect to you Alan. My Bermuda is looking best it has in 10 yrs thanks in part to your tips.

Wow ... excellent video! That is exactly the way my SA is looking up here in Pinellas County. I also have that wild Bermuda growing as well. 😢 How about this rain we've been getting over the past couple of weeks? I can almost hear my SA growing! I mow at 4 inches ... only because Honda doesn't make a lift kit for their mowers. I wholeheartedly agree with your point about cutting height, some of these lawn companies are cutting too low. Looks nice and neat ... but they're cutting all the green out of it! Has a pale green look to it.

[@Thelawncarenut]

I think sometimes the customers demand it. Most people here are from up north and are used to seeing KBG at 2-3"

[@ranger2316]

[@jameshickey9393]

Growing St Augustine in Florida has been a huge learning experience. I had several yards in Texas with St Augustine in North Texas where the soil is clay. We also went through periods of drought every summer. Watering was pretty easy, water pretty often. In Florida i've only owned my home since Feb and yard was in pretty good shape until these last weeks of heavy rain. I was freaking out until I watched your videos and did some research. good stuff!

Hi, just like to ask a question. People tell me to fertiliser twice a year but you mentioned every month isn't that to much..👍👍

[@VMH.]

Allyn, does bermuda have the same growth habits where older blades died off for new one to come?

[@Viewer-dj2qk]

I screwed up. I did not do post emergent early spring, I thought I did but the product I used did not have post. I've been routinely spreading Milo all summer. Watering twice a week with supplemental rain (I'm in central FL). The back and sides are looking fantastic, but of course the front... I have an attack from weeds. I did an Image treatment a month ago, but these weeds are prevailing. Any tips? I was thinking a granular with atrazine (I haven't had an app yet this year), but I know it isn't fall yet. I'm desperate for advice. Literally everyone's lawn looks amazing on our street. I don't want to switch to a lawn app company because I enjoy the DIY.

Alan, I live in Louisville Ky. I killed my whole front lawn. The lawn was nothing but crabgrass, nut sledge etc. No real grass after i had a company renovate my lawn and all they did was tille my whole front yard. Throwed down grass seed and straw. The only thing that came back was weeds, mainly crabgrass. Now I killed it all again. My question is what do i do now with this dead lawn? The ground is really hard. Please HELP!!! Thank you

I would spray some air ate on the lawn and start watering to soften the ground. If the grass is dead I would cut it as short as it would go Keep watering anything that comes back kill it then use Areator Is top dress and throw seat down.
