Love the sprinkler stuff. Makes me feel better about procrastinating that project myself. Thanks for showing how you do it. Moving that bad boy to the edge will really help weed control. There is no need to water areas that dont need it, just encourages the weeds. I moved 4 of my bed zones to drip and its awesome, soooo many fewer weeds.

I bought some Imodacloprid from your store and will be applying tomorrow. Would’ve done it today but we got hit with some rain in South Florida. No complaints here, as you said it’s been dry. I too couldn’t remember the last time it rained, and I check the weather forecast daily. Love the content Allyn, l can’t wait for more summer videos. 👍

[@ConchienceClothing]

Greetings from Nassau, Bahamas! There is a saying when Florida sneezes we catch a cold lol That holds true when it comes to climate shifts and droughts. It has now been about 28 days since we had any significant rain which forced me to re-do my entire irrigation scheduling and coverage. I have been doing the manual hand watering day after day to cover areas where the irrigation was a bit lacking but I decided this weekend to buckle down and run some new lines for more coverage. My new lines aren't as pretty but its getting the job done so my lawn can survive this drought. The positive thing is I am absolutely dominating everyone in my neighborhood and probably most of the entire island but continuing to watch your videos and staying motivated to ensure my lawn remains lush and healthy!

6:29 - thats a PVC "coupler". Learned that one recently doing some hose-spigot repair thanks to yanking too hard on a hose lol. This piece is designed primarily to repair/extend a run of PVC or CPVC (outdoors here in FL) piping. Crack your pvc pipe? cut it straight, put on a coupler, and now you can keep running the pipe to wherever you are going.

[@tedheierman1181]

The GrubEX contains a much lower concentration of active ingredient. 0.08% vs 0.2% in the Acelepryn. I think the Acelepryn will pan out to be a better value.

[@wroll77]

It's cheaper per application too

[@maddy4549]

I believe that straight inline connection is a coupler

[@rw3619]

Hey man a little tip if you would have cut the flex pipe further down the line you would of been able to coupling the pipe back together and still been able to use the existing threaded Leno to attach the head.

[@ingramleedy]

Does the Acelepryn G Insecticide also have the same duration of protection as the Grub X? Want to put it down at the optimal time. Thanks!!

[@johnfetter3252]

Yes. Essentially 6 to 9 months. Great product. It has fixed my grub issues which were horrible 2 years ago. But that's only part of the story. The half like of the active ingredient, according to the EPA, IA about 1000 days. So you could skip every 3rd year.

Hello…. Live in Dunedin FL and grass has been looking good until now. Starting to turn brown in places and some of the tips are cut and brown. As you know we have had a ton of rain since end of June. I have never put a fungicide down. I think after watching your videos I need to do this. Also how would I know if I have Cinch bugs or need to put down an insecticide?

[@markbratt6058]

Allyn, another good and inspiring video. One question about the sprinkler in your beds. Is the logic that the roots of the trees are in the lawn already and will draw water from that area anyway? I'm just asking because I like to work on my own sprinkler system if I can and have a couple of trouble areas due to evergreen trees being installed after the sprinklers were installed. It creates a dry area in the hotter months and the grass really suffers. I'm going to try to think of another way to get around that problem. I always love your videos. Enjoying the mow in Northwest Ohio! Sorry, but how do you deal with spraying any "icdes" with your dog? I want to spray for dandelions etc but the vet said to give the sprayed area 3 days to cure. Right now, I plan on spraying the front yard where the dog doesn't have access too unless we take him out there and skip the backyard (his domain).

Longtime landscaper here 🙋🏻‍♂️… My theory is that most hotspots suffer from reflective heat and reflective light from the sides of houses, buildings, structures, parked vehicles, house windows, white vinyl fences, sheet metal sheds, and blahblahblah…. The spots are already getting the heat from the sun itself, then a window or whatever just reflects and shines down on those spots like a magnifying glass on an ant. Most hotspots I find are almost always on the southwest exposure of the house where the sun lives all day long. I went with chlor-AN-TRA-nili-prole Last…. A lot of herbicides, pesticides, and ferts are pretty thick and end up clogging the screen at the end of either a hose end sprayer or even commercial backpack sprayers. Especially trying to be efficient and spraying all at once. Dilution doesn’t seem to help and can be counter productive, obviously. What do you do when you make a super thick herbicidal milkshake in your sprayers?

My understanding - per watching their product videos - is the “convenience” of not “having” to water it in “right away” - but allowing you to wait until your next irrigation cycle or rainfall. It’s not harmful to people or pets if it sits on the grass prior to irrigation. But, yes, eventually, it DOES need to get watered in to become effective.
