Summer Lawn Fertilizer

[@Wenningtonbilly1331]

11 seconds into the video and I’m already pumped! Lol I never would’ve thought I’d be so excited about maintaining my lawn. Thanks for blessing us with all of your knowledge Doc keep up the great work!!

[@ctcarnes1]

Doc...been following your advice since April. Just in this short of time, following the PGF, Humichar combo, my yard has dramatically improved! Even did a 1 Superjuice application a couple weeks ago. Wife LOVES it, says it's the best it has ever looked. Throwing in the Chicken Feed this week with the PFG and Humichar rotation. Thanks for all of your knowledge and insight! Much appreciated.

[@johnfilson8341]

This season I used humichar and now been using super juice every 10 days and this is the best my yard has ever looked thanks for all your helpful videos

[@PammyRock]

Doc, I really appreciate all the FREE information you share with us! My daughter could care less about the lawn, but she loves to watch your videos with me. She really enjoys the vegetable videos. She was "supervising" while I tended to my tomato plants.

[@HowTowithDoc]

Tell her Doc said HEY...................... 😀

[@jlo6388]

I stopped my lawn service last Oct. it was looking awful until I started following your advice. It looks so much better now. The rain in Georgia this week has made me skip some mowing. Some patches of Bermuda grows so fast I can see areas trying to seed;

[@pauldouglas274]

Been using PGF complete, humid acid before Humichar and Super Juice for about a year. Live in a HOA community that cuts our lawns, only issue is they don’t cut short enough. Regardless lawn is green and thicker than the entire neighborhood so much saw that several neighbors have asked why 😃

[@HowTowithDoc]

The ones you don't like... tell them pig manure... Man I hate that smell. 😂😂😂

[@fishhooks100]

My neighbors ask the same questions. I'm new to our HOA hood but have one of the better and biggest lots.... 27k sq feet of lawn. I use a push mower, Honda and its low is 2 inches but the yard with Doc's help looks great! By the way I have a riding mower as well. I don't like the way it leaves the yard looking after a cut. I like the exercise as well. My yard being newer is compacted so I'm workin on that as well as adding organics due to it being nothin but clay. It's funny how many of my neighbors swear by Bermuda having to be left long (over 5 to 8 in.) When I moved in and started listening to Doc, cutting it short they would all come by and tell me how it was a longer grass and wouldn't do well cut short?! Now lots of them cut shorter.

[@bradtaylor8624]

Just planted Arden 15 Bermuda in my back yard 12 days ago, and love what's coming up. Thanks for all the Bermuda tips, I am sure it will make a huge difference by fall.

[@MrErpman]

We had extreme heat in central TX this summer and I cut bak the fertilizer on my palisades zoysia. That was a mistake. In Sept and Oct I resumed and it really bounced back. Keeping a log now of everything I do so I do better next year.

[@reggieturner1604]

To my folks out there wondering if Doc’s program works on tall fescue in the transition zone (Waldorf, Maryland ) well absolutely. In fact Doc put out a fescue calendar recently !

[@ricardorangel2454]

Doc, thank you very much for all those advises, you are really helping me with my front yard Bermuda, i just follow your advice when i kill all old common bermuda and new seed with BlackJack bermuda with just PGF complete my frond yard looks amazing, the PGF complete is making me mow my lawn every 2 days, wish i can share a picture with the before and after; now is time for my back yard. Thanks Doc.

[@SuperTA329]

Hands down thumbs 👍🏻you have one of the nicest lawns here on the tubes in the 🇺🇸.

[@rodjack6853]

Wow, You have a great looking lawn.

[@vazz22]

I bought a hat like yours Doc...I'm about 2 months away (after a 2 year restoration project ) from having a bermuda lawn like yours...thanks for all your advice!

[@Tazz5590]

Very excellent info Doc... Thanks for the prescription of knowledge.

[@BertCollins]

Great video doc, I think I'm gonna try the chicken feed I need more organic matter and you have some good help she made it look easy.

[@jruehman]

Been following your advice and just got the 25" McLane...game changer!!!

[@mikepasquino4349]

Jim, how long did it take for it to arrive once you purchased? I have been debating buying the 25" McLane also and making the leap from rotary to reel. Can you share your experience and comment on how it has worked for you and your lawn?

[@SuperTA329]

My lawn is doing well. Thanks for all your help. 👍🏻🌱🌱🌱👍🏻

[@fredkaminski6138]

Summer fertilizer is great as long as you can water the lawn! I have a 2 acre lot , no irrigation. I'm not spending my time dragging hoses and sprinklers around. Let it go dormant, it will come back in September!

[@philipmartin7196]

Can you use off pgf complete together with pre emergent

[@Doug_E_Dee]

The new fence looks awesome !

[@garycain8050]

Good job and spent a lot of money on the treatment program. Someday I retired and would have time to pay attention to my lawn. My lawn yard is mixed with all kinds of grass like Bermuda, centipede grass with some St Augustin grass, and shade fescue grass around the trees. As regular mowing on 3 inches, looking real green grass. That's it!. Haha, your lawn yard is looking great! Envy you! Live in near Raleigh, NC. 👍

[@dwaynesullins768]

Great lawn info, putting your knowledge to use. Where can I get the hose nozzle used in video?

[@amirmay1935]

Ur lawn is unbelievable.. keep it up 👍 quick question tho . What does the chicken feed do ?

[@DesertFernweh]

Doc, Can you please to a video about lawn care in high heat areas like Arizona.

[@Justthemow]

In Arizona u have this awesome brown grass called dirt just water it once a year fertilize once every ten years and if you want it to be green stain it with yard marker super green

[@JBSpine007]

Yes I agree.

[@d.r49]

@@Justthemow 😂😂😂😂😂

[@DesertFernweh]

@@Justthemow you can have a lawn in AZ. It's going to be Made in China. But you never have to water it.

[@kathyramirez9711]

I’m in Fort Worth Texas... we are already hitting 100 today. I have Bermuda. We don’t have lots of rain.

[@stevenworley5716]

Perfect timing on this video Doc. I was just explaining to my neighbor about fertilizer timing with Bermuda vs Fescue. Your video quality has definitely improved with the new yard pros you are employing. Thumbs UP!!

[@jayb7675]

I just put down PGFComplete, Humichar, and chicken feed. What exactly does the chicken feed do?

[@JohnBlakeJr]

I live in southeastern North Carolina. The grass in my yard is the same crap the State broadcasts for shoulders of the highways. My goal next year is to have some other grass that I can pitch and chip golf balls on. Does your website walk through how to rework my yard.

[@mateo85tx]

I watch practically all your videos because you’re entertaining and smart. However would be really awesome if you could do a fescue project lawn 🤷🏻‍♂️ Good stuff thank you !!!

[@nickb2912]

Bermuda grass also loves 100 degree and 110 degree weather in Phoenix AZ

[@johncunningham3843]

Doc, I enjoy watching your videos. Thing I have an issue with is you only discuss Bermuda grass. Where I live we have the cool season grass KBG or TTTF are the most common. It would be a great help if you talked about how to work with the other types of grasses as well. Also, you have a great looking yard.

[@mastadroo]

We have water restrictions and are only allowed to water once a week during 95-100+ temps. Can I still apply Humichar and PGF Complete? Just PGF Complete? None of it?

[@sirdavid6543]

I really enjoy your vids and all the info you give us Question: at what rate/spreader setting do you put down the DuMOR 16% Poultry Layer Crumbles?

[@DoodlesofNC]

[@henrysmithsr7727]

Hey Doc, I would like more information on the crazy spike aerator

[@scottmiller669]

Me too

[@DJW701]

I believe it is a Billy Goat Plugger Aerator I saw one at an outdoor equipment store.

[@lynnemcdougal6795]

PGF works great. Be careful when using Super Juice. I went over a few bad areas in my lawn twice with the joyce and all those areas turned lime green

[@vincentliu3765]

enjoying and learning a lots from your videos, I don't have a cultivator, can I still use humichar?

[@richardsmith1161]

No summer fertilizer in Florida near the coast 😣

[@iwayned]

Is the spike depth adjustable?

[@kencee9213]

Nice lawn. Can you use the pgf complete with humichar on rye and centipede grass.

[@Richardville]

Doc I'm about to renovate my yard this fall. I live in northwest Indiana. I plan on using a tiller, leveling it, rolling it out some, then planting KBG. I think I'm going to throw out Humichar and chicken feed before tilling to really get my soil in good shape. How much humichar should I throw down? 8lb/1,000sf? I am doing approximately 5,000sf.

[@bybs54]

I am in Illinois....can I use PGF in June or July if I water it in if we don't get rain?

[@laloromero6860]

Great videos Doc, I have a question about pre emergent? If in Texas we can’t get Spectracide “Weed stop for lawns” and crabgrass preventer granules. What else do you recommend? Thanks

[@hugolira7174]

Doc,whats your advice for St. Augustine grass..im from South Texas

[@Frank_W.]

I am in White, GA and wondered if you can buy these products locally or are you buying from Amazon? I am referring to humi char, PGF and super juice? Also name of broadcast spreader?

[@kalinsybesma2063]

I NEED HELP. How do you get rid of little barley in my Bermuda grass. I have been following you’re steps for 2 years now and been great other than the little barley through out my lawn.

[@mikemorocco5409]

If you followed the spring treatment of chicken feed + microbial pack, do you add microbial pack again for this summer application or just the feed?

[@HowTowithDoc]

There should be enough naturally in the thatch and soil now that the temps are up.

[@grocho53]

does the same hold tru for Emerald Zoysia?

[@charlieflo9872]

I usually push organic fert with a push of iron during summer

[@HowTowithDoc]

PGF is high in iron.

[@JohnBlakeJr]

Do you use well water on your lawn or city water?

[@atlj007]

So I missed the interval between applying the pgf complete in the summer? How often

[@wincav]

Good info.! I live in the North. Do these same principals apply for cool grasses?

[@HowTowithDoc]

Somewhat... just cut the rate of PGF to HALF the bag rate and make sure you can irrigate. Typicality we don't fert cool season lawns in the heat.

[@santus444]

Hi @doc , is there any recommended rate of application for the chicken feed using spreader. I use Scott’s spreader so always depend on the instructions on the bag.

[@tpucky180]

Why put down chicken feed ?

[@whiskey_zulu]

Doc, does this same process work with zoysia?

[@kayper22]

Have you tried Highlander turf Bermuda seed? It's supposed to be very drought and shade tolerant.

[@guysammons1177]

Please talk about centepede in the South.

[@MsKay213]

Just purchased a home with a Bermuda grass lawn that might be the new “worst Bermuda lawn ever”. We are so excited to get to work on it after finding your channel. My question is on the bioadvance weed killer you linked on your website it says use between 50 and 90 degrees. I’m in Texas so in the morning it’s less than 90 but temperatures rise to over 90 throughout the day. Will this be an issue?

[@HowTowithDoc]

You really don't have a choice.... bermuda might get burned back a little but it will recover.

[@randyholmquist1978]

Will this application work well on Kentucky blue or red fescue

[@erniekanekoa9717]

Doc, I live in Hawaii. I am unable to get Dumor Poultry. Is there another product I can use instead?

[@HowTowithDoc]

See if you can find crushed soybean feed.

[@robertjordan3702]

Hey Doc, any tips or programs on tall fescue? I’m in Nashville, TN. Thanks

[@JM-yx1lm]

He doesn't mess with cool season grass at all. Check out gci turf channel he is the man for cool season stuff and very helpful

[@osgeld]

most of our lawns are half cool season half bermuda, his schedule has been working fairly well for me (also nashville) just don't cut too short

[@TMF-8400]

Although he does have a cool season guide.

[@jnash5137]

Your recent aerator video pulled plugs and this aerator only punched holes in the lawn. Is this aerator changeable? Which procedure gives you the most benefit? Thanks for the info Doc.

[@HowTowithDoc]

Yes... changeable tines.

[@andrewguerra4953]

What's the best ride height on my mower for my burmuda grass to be at??

[@Mike-ys7rh]

There’s a new star on Doc’s channel.....

[@cjs9099]

Doc, if you’re using about 18lbs for 6k sqr ft, what were you doing in the spring? I have that same size for my entire lawn and have been using that rate all spring. I probably wasn’t going strong enough.

[@hacevedo81]

Do these cutters come for very large yards? I have 3 acres and would love to do this.

[@coltonjones8982]

Can I ask what your Fertilizer budget is? Because I hear what you are saying and it makes since but it has to cost $$$

[@225mani]

Hi doc can you tell me how I can get the PGF complete up here in Canada?

[@Reeper1814]

I can't seem to find 40lbs bags of pgf.. did they stop making it? I used up all the ones I had..😢

[@HowTowithDoc]

They both go in and out of stock. I actually prefer the 18 but 40s should be back up soon.

[@Reeper1814]

@@HowTowithDoc ya but the 40lbs bags are a better value 😁

[@JM-yx1lm]

@@Reeper1814 heck ya 4 extra pounds to sprinkle around a tomato plant or shrub or something!....and they're on amazon right now

[@IJoshTurner]

Should I do this application before multiple days of rain or wait until I can control irrigation? I was thinking about doing this today before we have the storms roll through the east coast.

[@HowTowithDoc]

That's fine... that's why we did it and cut short.

[@IJoshTurner]

How To with Doc thank you. I’ve been using your techniques on my new sod in South Carolina and it’s working great so far! We have TERRIBLE hard clay here and one bag of humichar so far has made visible changes in the top soil already. My lawn is the nicest in the neighborhood.

[@estefi.ruiz23]

Hey Doc! Is the microbial pack not necessary when putting down the organic matter?

[@HowTowithDoc]

If your lawn is fairly healthy and thick and the temps are warm... no need at this time.

[@williamgarvin8159]

I have ducks come to my yard regularly ever since I put down the chicken feed!

[@loydpotter6901]

Doc, Your last spreader you bought, you said it had been reviewed. Where is that review? I have searched and searched.

All 3 products work for St. Augustine grass? Doc? Or anyone else tried PGF on St. Aug?

Amazing , thanks Doc .

That was great and although I don't have the equipment you have or the help my 27K sq. ft. lawn is lookin' real good from your products and your vids. All it takes besides those two things is a willingness to get out there and try. I thank you for teaching me and others. Speaking of equipment that aerator is awesome how much is that thing and what's the brand? Thanks again brother! I've learned so much from you and it shows.

Doc your palms get anything special fed to them other than your normal lawn treatments?

[@SlowSimSports]

Doc, first off the short game is lookin good.🏌️ So I put TurfBuilder SLF down 5/13. Been an annual subscriber to their fertilizer delivery service and getting nowhere near the results you are getting with the product you recommend. So I cancelled. Ordered all of what you suggest to put down. Question I have is, how soon can I begin applying PGF and the Juice? Also live in GA so getting same weather as you, more or less. If you actually reply, thanks in advance for all of these videos. You definitely know your stuff. Your lawn is by far the best looking one out of all the other channels.

[@HowTowithDoc]

If you're not seeing results do the same treat in the video right away.

[@jimmyturner4015]

Doc so will those treatments work on tall fescue in va thanks jimmy turner also where do you get chicken feed

[@ryansmith4081]

Hey Doc, I’m making a budget for my Bermuda Lawn. I may have misread the about of average sized application of PGF Complete needed per 1000 sq. ft. My Bermuda lawn is ~5000 sq. ft. So far this year I have not put anything on my lawn (no fertilizer, no humichar, no Pre Emergent, NOTHING!). I’m lucky, as right now my lawn is looking the best it ever has. I’ve been mowing and watering based on the guide. Do you have an email address for questions?

[@HowTowithDoc]

Just remember to READ all labels. You'll put down one 18 lb bag every 3-4 weeks. That should cover it.

[@stevehale7492]

Doc....if I am in a very hot area with very little humidity and getting VERY little rain...does that change your outlook on Summer fertilizing? How important is the humidity when dealing with Bermuda?

[@HowTowithDoc]

Not really... it's just a matter of watering the lawn which is a pain in dry areas.

[@CA-gk1bl]

Oh by the way can't get pgf complete either but I could last year!!

[@dionjones4025]

what type of fertilizer do you have/ recommend for tall fescue this time of the year

[@1414Gstevens]

Doc, I am getting a lot of flies and pill bugs from the chicken feed. Are we okay with that? Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to water it in more?

[@HowTowithDoc]

Just make sure you do the night time water in process. I have not seen an increase in bugs other than the normal hot humid increase we get each year.

[@joshrender8956]

As always, a great informative video! Following your lawn care guide and taking over from a lawn company has my yard looking it’s best! Couple of questions. Does it matter the order in which you put everything down or does it not matter because it all gets watered in at the same time? Also, what hose end sprayer are you using to push the feed into your grass? Again, thank you for all the help and info!

[@HowTowithDoc]

Just a shut off valve... I have strong PSI

[@trentonsemon8609]

anyone know where i can get the hose end attachment? I do not see it on the site

[@brianfletcher7942]

Not trolling, but This is merely a brass hose cut off from Lowe’s. Great time saver to keep from having to walk back and forth from the hydrant to turn the water on and off. Have one on both my hoses. Really handy for attaching hose to mower deck for clean off. Can also attach quick connects to the valve for easy tool exchange without all the steps.
