🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Just got my order in for the year. Thanks for the church service link and all you do for all of us out here tryn to be mini LCNs, making our neighbors envious and keep them asking us why we’re out in the lawn all the time or staring out the window at me. The neighbors kids today asked me to stop mowing all the time (every 3 days). The yard is waking up strong here in western WA just nice.

[@Thelawncarenut]

Never stop mowing ha ha!

[@DIYDad1]

Happy Easter to you and your family! He is risen! I am doing the spoon feeding thing this year. Put down about .4 lbs N last weekend. Huge green up from the Lesco 24-0-11, has 3% iron as well, which really helped. Going to put down the other half of the bag in about 2-3 weeks, then organics from there on out through til fall when I do the fall N blitz. We’ll see how that works out this year. Really need to push that new baby grass from last fall to start spreading.

[@arkrainflood]

[@msmall107]

Super cool to have my lawn in one of your videos, even if for just a second. You wouldn't believe how many people have stopped and commented on my lawn now that everyone is stuck inside. I always refer them to your channel when they ask my what products I use

[@Thelawncarenut]

thanks bro!!! great work on your lawn!!!!!

[@killjoyous1060]

Great video Allyn. Thanks for featuring my lawn. Hard work pays off. Comment about throwing down. I regularly put a 1/2 lb more product in the spreader. I feel the product spreads more uniform at the end of the area with the added weight. I then make sure to have that amount left in the spreader.

[@Thelawncarenut]

yes I agree - keeps the flow consistent - good tip bro!

Just fertilized my lawn with 16-0-4 up here in Jacksonville, FL. Bought my house 2 years ago, finally ready to pay attention to the lawn. It's super trash grass, though lol. Lots of silver dollar weeds and a smorgasbord of other weeds mixed with St. Augustine. See what happens with it, may just till the whole yard next year and start fresh. Love the channel! Thank you!

My neighbor has seen the results of my yard and has starting asking questions. I started following you last year and the results are amazing. So my neighbor is wanting to change his yard to look like mine, I told him I follow the lawn care nut. So I got 2 projects going on this year. My parents are wanting a yard like mine and my Nieghbor does as well. Having said that my neighbor has subscribed to you and has also bought the bio stimulus1 gallon set to start. 😊 thanks Alan for everything. I can’t mow my front yard without Nieghbors stopping me and asking questions. I love it.

Hi Allyn, Oxcart Blackbird here. Just wanted to say it was an honor to have my picture selected to be with my fellow LCN. There were truly some beautiful lawns on here and in the original post. Shout out to you and your hard work for helping folks like me be able to transform our yards. The biggest appreciation is how much I was able to learn and carry that knowledge and become a lot smarter on how to approach the task. Your humble student ;). Happy Easter to everyone and may your days be blessed.

[@Thelawncarenut]

Nice work bro - you have come a long way my friend!! 👊👊🤘

[@PesaJoe]

One of the issues I’ve found in the past with pushing nitrogen in the spring is when we get those rainy periods and the lawn gets super overgrown. It becomes a mess! Also worth noting is pushing nitrogen may disguise issues you have in the lawn. It’s growing so fast you really have to pay attention and know your land. I like the idea of backing off a little and trying to push root growth. I’m going with 8-1-8. Really into the liquids now and can’t wait to try the N-ext products this year!

[@Thelawncarenut]

Yes very true! I agree that once you have your lawn established and healthy, slow play with lower N is the way to go for any grass type. Have a great season Joey!

After about ten years of neglecting my lawn, I started to take care of it last spring. I'm in southern NY State and after following a plan, things worked well and the lawn started picking up slowly. Fall came around and put down some Milo on Labor Day, then overseeded mid September and then threw down some Milo right before Thanksgiving. Early March I put down some lime on the lawn and last week I put down some fertilizer with baracade from a company called the Andersons. Well, I have to say, I'm already dominating my neighbors, I've already mowed twice this season before anyone else has mowed once and the grass is really starting to thicken and green up which is amazing. The front of my house still needs to get better but the back is out of this world great. One thing I did notice was the robins are looking for food in my lawn, I thought automatically it was grubs so I dug up a test area where I saw the most pecking holes and didn't find any grubs, rather I found lots of worms so I gather that the soil is getting a good amount of nutrients now that I started taking care of the lawn. Your videos have really helped...I don't follow to a tee but I do follow what I think will work best from your videos and they really are working. Great feeling seeing the dominations lines...its a feeling of success!!!

[@BasikVids_4_Life]

You have found the formula my fellow lcn. The trick is you feed your soil and make it happy, all else falls into place including the lawn! ✌

[@benharrison1069]

Allyn, great video and well explained. The pics of other lawns were beautiful and impressive along with great music. That certainly gives everyone some motivation to do the same to their own lawns. Question -'I was watching a Ryan Knorr video on applying fert to his lawn. He, too, weighs out the amount of fert to be applied to a measured area usung a scale. He, however, adds an extra pound into his hopper because at the end of his app he does not want his hopper to be running low and sporadically. He is trying to do an even coverage over the area measured. He then will weigh the remaining fert in the hopper to make sure the intended amount of fert was applied to the measured area. Do you agree with this practice?

Allyn- love the content! One thought, why not show the math for N calculation a different way. Goal application / N fertilizer content = lbs to apply 5 lb. (0.75 / 0.15 = 5 lbs) its Easier to calculate the lbs needed showing the math this way. Just my thoughts as a viewer, and new lawn care enthusiast. Thanks again!!
