Start NOW! 5 Tips To Survive Summer Heat In Your Lawn

[@MrFergusonLawn]

Correction: I mentioned Propiconazole as a Group 5 fungicide. I misspoke. It’s actually a Group 3! Sorry for the error there.

[@sapphireheart8868]

Very informative and straight forward. Thank you for not wasting time on unnecessary information!

[@Commander_D]

Great in depth video! I’m in Maryland and my first year of lawn care and have used the RGS. Also have Hydretain in stock for use later in the month. Excited to see the progress by the end of the season.

[@jcmcdaniels6780]

Awesome information! thank you for what you do

[@MrFergusonLawn]

@@jcmcdaniels6780 Thanks!

[@robturner7853]

Also need to add-in , play the weather game!!! We both have Bi-Polar Weather lol 80,s the past few days and today wake up to 51 and 67 for the high. Another week-ish of that and We get smacked with that heat!!! Put down / Throw Down whatever Stress blend and Fungicides And keep those eyes open!!

[@ElevatedLawnscapes]

Good info on water being #1. By the way Propiconazole is actually a Group 3 Fungicide.

[@MrFergusonLawn]

Yep, someone caught it earlier 🫤

I live in Charlotte, my soil type is clay,still got it going nice

[@btu91111]

I am running the annew growth regulator on one of my yards that burns up in the sun every year in hopes of building more roots. No way you can water it enough. I guess I will see the results if any soon. Also running it to suppress POA triv on another yard. It does darken the color of the triv and that is good but I never get to mow any more so the yards dont look as good as I like.

[@robturner7853]

I just added Double Dark , Phusion KMS 0/0/12 with 15% calcium& 6% Sulfer

[@jonnyrozzo9168]

Great info! Not bashing Hydretain, but for what it costs buy a good sprinkler and use the rest of the $ towards your water bill.

[@MrFergusonLawn]

I think I would agree with that as well.

[@nealwhite1474]

Sea-K is a product I've wanted to try for some time now. Heard great things about how it helps roots to grow deep. Great vid!

[@MrFergusonLawn]

Thanks Neal. Yes sir, we'll be proving that here soon ;)

[@robturner7853]

All Great reminders Brother!!! Lookin Good btw, Keep it Fat-N-happy & Green!!!! I know you heard this a Ton , Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!!!

Love the channel and have been watching for sometime now. Just seeded new seed about 3.5 weeks ago and I live in the transitional zone 9b. We have hot dry summers. Would you recommend slow release low doses of nitrogen for baby grass or faster release for now until the heat really comes in? Also, I'm lower in Potassium and Phosphorus. My PH is 7.8. Thank you God bless.

[@MrFergusonLawn]

Hey Stephen, your ph should be priority right now! You want that below 7, and ideally 6.1 - 6.5. I would work on that for sure. Secondly, you can do higher N now for the grass to help it grow roots and shoots, and then just slack off as temps seem to get into 80s and higher. That said, def work on your ph! Here is JG Mag-i-cal plus if interested: shrsl.com/4hx5s

[@stephenjones6084]

@@MrFergusonLawn Ok, sounds good. Adding Sea-k and fungicide for new baby grass. Not sure if that's too much all at once for the grass. It's 2.5-3" tall.

[@stephenjones6084]

By the way, I seeded tall fescue.

[@dbk2a]

Love the listicle format -- add chapters to get it further up in the KZbin algo...

[@delrayharris6583]

I just water and use fungicide

[@woTrainingWheelz]

Your talking summer but Im still waiting for a workable spring. Just doesn't let up with the rain here.

[@MrFergusonLawn]

😳 It’s not summer here either, just getting your mind set thinking ahead. We need rain my way! It’s kind of stopped suddenly.

[@woTrainingWheelz]

You can take it all, just pay shipping lol.

[@I3arbarian]

I disagree about TTTF likes being tall. Most newer cultivars might as well take the Tall out of TTTF. Most of the companies that sell the seed recommend 2-3 inches for their TTTF cultivars. Obviously you can lower to about 1 inch but will require significant maintenance. I know you like GCI Turf so look at the cultivars in it. He now now uses MVS cultivars and the spec sheet for each of those cultivars recommend 2-3 inch HOC. I get your point though that the HOC should increase in the summer.

[@MrFergusonLawn]

No that's a great point. That's why I like hearing from you all in the comments. Things change, and so will the info. I've not heard this, so something else to look into and adjust fire.

[@NyTonyF]

I’ve seen GCI TTTT at 1 inch and it looks amazing.

[@btu91111]

Real tall fescue will hold back bermuda and all but then you are asking for fungus so how do you win? I hit a compromise and mow at 3 inches .

[@Los714]

I just seeded gci tttf on my front yard and I can’t wait to see the results

[@davidcrowson4745]

Great information... Keepn me motivated. Have a great weekend.

[@MrFergusonLawn]

You too!
