The SAD TRUTH of Lawn Care... Five Things You May Not Have Realized

[@Kenjiro5775]

I don't mean to argue with you at all, quite the opposite. I switched from using gas powered lawn equipment to using a scythe to mow and trim my yard. I went from hating yard maintenance because of the declining build quality of lawn equipment, lack of replacenebt parts and the increasing use of plastic parts that crumble because of UV exposure. After getting my scythe about a month ago, my enthusiasm went from dread to anticipation of the next time I can mow in clean silence. In this case, for me, the instant gratification of my switch to scything brought me to your channel because I care again about having a healthy and vibrant lawn. ✌😁 As far as the work always continuing as opposed to have a finished car, there is a Japanese philosophy that may help you. To a Japanese gardener, the goal is to be perfectly in tune with nature to get perfect results. A lifetime of dedication is often spent in pursuit of that perfection. It is always elusive, but we do get closer with each passing season. Knowing we we never reach perfection is both OK, and not defeatist because it means there is always room for improvement. It goes further than that too. Let's say nature throws us conditions that destroys our work completely, it saddens us, but our response is what matters. If we adapt and find a way through, then we are back on the road to that perfection.

[@stepheneckert4006]

I have to constantly remind friends that ask me to help on their lawn that they need to be dedicated. There’s no renovation and then you’re done. If you truly want what I have, which took nearly 3 seasons to achieve, you need to work hard at it and keep up with it. It’s not a simple one-and-done solution. Loved this video!

[@LAWNLIFE]

Thanks Stephen. Definitely not a one and done. It's all about the long game with this hobby for sure! Thanks for watching!

[@diederikvandedijk]

You're confusing a nice lawn with the lawn care hobby. To have a nice lawn just mowing really is enough. You don't need fertilizers, nature takes care of it all. But as soon as you start using fertilizers and chemicals, you're taking over and nature doesn't work anymore. So you have to keep doing the work. En you can and enjoy doing so, but you definitely don't have to. « This is the sad truth about lawn care that you may not have realized.

[@gaurasrspublishing]

@@diederikvandedijk That comment just has to be from someone who knows nothing about what a nice lawn looks like.

[@diederikvandedijk]

@@gaurasrspublishing By definition a lawn is an area of regularly mown, short grass. You can't tell anyone what to consider nice and what not. So yeah...

Hey Jesse, I'll be honest with you bro, you have one of the best lawn KZbin channels out there . Your content is on point! And I really enjoy watching your channel. This video specifically hit me hard at the end regarding making friends. I know exactly what your talking about. I am a huge lawn nerd and I've talked to so many neighbors and have made some really good friendships on my street that I otherwise would have not had. People make fun of me all the time for being a "lawn nerd" but I wouldn't change it for anything. I absolutely love the lawn care community and to find others that feel this way about grass is a special thing..thanks again bro for the awesome video. Keep up the good work and God bless

[@LAWNLIFE]

Thank you so much for this comment man. Reading things like this helps me when I don't really feel like making videos. There's a ton of time and effort that goes into these videos that no one sees.

I mow my Bermuda 3 to 4 times a week, and yes...I have looked at a neighbors yard and wondered why I am breaking my back. LOL Truth be told, my lawn is beautiful, numero uno, but I am a driven. Another thing is, it is great to get a compliment, or a note in my mailbox asking for help. What kills me the most is I really want my wife to thank me for having the best yard in the neighborhood, and she rarely does...LOL.

Perfect MN weather for grass this year

[@lifeintornadoalley]

I've cut commercialy for a decade. By myself to a multimillion dollar landscape companiy. Our licensed arborist was on point before we'd mow in spring and cleanup for fall. Not 1 dead blade. He knew by grass blades and knew ratios in his head. People don't understand that your lawn isnt like house plants. You have to be assertive with it! Best way to start is as you mentioned. Know your dirt! Everything depends on dirt. If you don't have good dirt, you'll have bad roots, weak roots, no nutritional value. Your vegetable scraps will work fine for a bit. Great points! Just don't give up! It's science, it's tricky. You'll all get it. Each lawn needs its own personal care. No one will ever have the same ratios ect.

So funny, I was just talking to my neighbor yesterday and he said this about the neighbor on the other side of my yard. I just got into lawn care when I bought my current home and I’m lovin it. I’m doing strictly organic and while it’s true my no maintenance neighbors yard bounces back when the rains come and he mows it a few times a season, there is something to be said for the enjoyment of doing the work, and the things I’ve done just since Feb are really showing. Everyone has different priorities.

[@kevingebert4316]

Excellent Video and facts. It should be a prerequisite for anyone getting into lawn care. I'm in calendar year #2 of my renovation and still at least another season to go to get what I envisioned. I still have some bare spots to get tillered in with KBG and Creeping Fescue. Some spot spraying for various knotweed, etc.. But not only that, I have a new pup and nice burn spots to fix. Planning on making a raised bed full of KBG and using that for plugs to quickly fill in dead zones since seeding and dirt or peat takes too long or gets washed out before grass grows.

[@LAWNLIFE]

Thanks for watching Kevin! The raised bed idea is great for plugs. Reseeding is unsustainable year round with KBG. Glad the renovation is going smooth for the most part! I still have bare areas also that I need to plug/wait for the KBG to fill in also! And a couple of dog spots. Haha

I love it because it is a challenge. I have spent a lot of money and have made it much more complicated then it really is to your point. I am hard-headed but after watching your video I have decided to get a soil test. Really outstanding video. I also agree that relationships make the world go around my friend.

#3 hits hard for me. My neighbors have a lawn care company come in and mow their cool season grass to 1.5 inches year round, even in summer. They fertilize 3 times a year and that’s it. Greenest lawn on the block by leaps and bounds. No brown spots in heat, no disease, not even a boatload of weeds. First to be green in the spring, last to be green in the winter.

[@captainlarrynosleepfishing5350]

I feel your pain brother! Same neighbors? Let it grow to a foot high then cuts it down to 1 inch? I don’t get it??🤔

Agreed, the weeds and Mother Nature just quietly wait in the shadows for an opportunity to pounce!…I’ve been doing it for 30 years, my lawn doesn’t know what summer dormancy is, one would think you’d get tired of it but the pay off keeps getting in the way of potential slacking off, it’s a sickness that can’t be shook? especially when it’s striped up and burns your eyes out 110 percent of the time..John Perry recently touched on the perfect lawn

[@marcusj97]

Love your channel man. As a zoysia owner Id throw in lawn fungus as another big obstacle in lawn care. Which leads to high cost as well. Agree on some neighbors having a great lawn with no work. My neighbor has a different cultivar of zoysia and it never gets fungus no matter what. I have a fine bladed zoysia and have to apply fungicides all growing season. lol

[@skibo3522]

Yo Jesse, Thank you so much for this video, specifically. Especially 'Sad Fact 05'. For us Novice, first time home owners in this market, the lawns are almost ALWAYS trashed and in my case I have far less lawn than square footage of house. For the past year I've kept thinking what I'm going to realistically need to do to salvage this weed patch but before I spent one thin dime, (besides the mower of course) I started doing the research and then I found your channel. This is what I was afraid of most. 'Even If' I were to start jumping through some or most of these hoops, should my health drop even more than it has, any progress that would be seriously hard fought for to get it up to 'Normal', (which it is far from right now) everything will revert to whence it was. Now I'll be rethinking everything about this weed patch and save that 'Lawn Care' monies for that solution instead. Honesty is a rare commodity in this life but I greatly value yours, take care. ~Mark~

[@MegaCraptacular]

Just bought a new house awhile back. It's a great house but the backyard was severely damaged by dog pee. It was just your standard, crappy sod job to begin with. Now it's going to take some time to get to where I want it be. It doesn't happen overnight.

Your neighbor may have better soil. So many times during construction the top soil is removed but not replaced leaving you with subsoil to try and establish and maintain a lawn on.

I have above ground irrigiation that I set up with Melnor timers but this is really my first year after a reno and doing things the right way. I really don't know what to expect going into the summer because I did my reno in the fall and never ran my irrigation throughout the summer. I don't even know if its worth the money itst going to cost to keep things green. I guess there is only one way to find out. I do have a decent amount of shade on my front lawn so hopefully this helps. TTTF and 10 % KBG.

[@LAWNLIFE]

Yeah I wish I could give a number of what it's going to cost, but it really varies depending on city/state. My water bill could be completely different than yours. The shade will definitely help. Deep and infrequent waterings are you should start with and adjust accordingly depending on what your lawn tells you. How did the renovation turn out?

[@tite732]

@@LAWNLIFE The renovation came out pretty good except I have a few areas that TF is just not growing much. It seems like the KBG has filled in these spots and it is slowly coming along. I ended up transfereing plugs from my flower beds from the reno and noticed some spots I could not get my soil probe down deep due to what seem like tree roots or maybe rocks. I have been spoon feeding since the middle of April with Urea. Im really concerned about these spots checking out in the summer. I have been going off my soil test.

[@MyGreenLawn2019]

LOL - it always seems like the dude who just does not cares, lawn looks better then yours. lol I'm not sure your grass type, but if its tall fescue/perennial rye grass mix (some cool season lawn) be sure you are cutting high, like 3 inches. Some dudes that don't care about their lawns, they also do not mow regularly, so their lawns grow tall, and they usually don't water much forcing the grass roots to search deeper for water, so in guessing, without even trying they are making for a strong lawn. But with that being said, usually when you walk up on the lawn you can see bare spots and thin grass and weeds. Frequent mowing, regular water schedules and feedings will keep a lawn think and weed free. Keep up the good work, if you haven't already done so, do a soil test. A healthy soil will produce a healthy lawn! Check out my stuff if you get the chance.
