I told you St. Augustine is a weed lol. Funny stuff!

[@piercesplayground3578]

this was very informative thank you!

[@MrColinALewis]

Take the St. Aug plugs with the massive roots, place in container and pour in acrylic to make a piece of indoor lawn art. Like a jellyfish paperweight thing ma bobber.

[@MsNcM1218]

Wow!! Your grass looks freaking beautiful and not just that your house is beautiful, too!! Umm....this is your house, right? Lol

[@gladysorama]

I smash down brush the same way in the bed of the truck!

[@ericlevchuk5176]

U should show ous the old house lawn how it came out looking

[@Truthteller100]

Yep I'm jealous and want to move to a warm state just for the lawn lol. My poor babies still have snow on top of them..

[@flopezwake]

The weed identification in this video was really helpful. Thanks and keep them coming.

[@miguelrodriguez9962]

Very cool. Can you place them in bald spots in your lawn to cover?

[@sylee2113]

Great video! Now where can we buy that green start? Wow !!

[@Rick-uu4iu]

I really enjoy your videos. So I bought some MSM Turf to spot treat my St Augustine lawn using a pump up sprayer. I was hoping you could please help me with the mixing rate per gallon. Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer my question. Rick

[@JamyRyals]

This video is one of the best lawn videos I’ve ever seen! Showing something super cool and new

[@mn9689]

Thanks for identifying the different weeds which I feel every season brings new and different ones here in south Florida !

[@reneshumaker8328]

I did a full dip in the green start full concentration and my plugs died, somehow I missed that it was a 3 and 6 ounce dilution. Lesson learned

[@JakeTheLawnKid]

See you Wednesday bro!

[@bobzilla6618]

That was cool seeing the end results of the test you did! That was crazy how thick some of those roots are! Once again another great video! Thanks for what you do!

[@Thelawncarenut]

thanks Bob!

[@juliocs5483]

For sure! Most people in KZbin conduct test and don't show end results...very informative regarding the root growth! Now I want to order some of that Green Start! 😬

[@jesusgarces8905]

As a new homeowner I looked for advise on KZbin in lawn care and every sense I have not stop watching your vids man! You really made me into a LCN! Keep up with the vids!

[@Thelawncarenut]

thanks bro!

[@jason-ge5nr]

Ahh my 20 minutes of sunshine for the week.

[@Thelawncarenut]

mine too ha ha!

[@1Tim3Man]

man, st augustine is a savage beast

[@matthewbartke4424]

Florida grass is so different than Illinois grass.

[@matthewvitta5900]

Great Video. Best video in a while!! As a fellow south Floridian lawn care nut I appreciate the weed identification. I see a lot of the one’s you have pointed out.

[@tomaratari3847]

When will the Carbon-X be available on the LCN shop??? I'm getting the night sweats worried about not getting this in time for the spring up here in MICHIGAN! :D

[@robbiegolding1831]

2nd request, can we get a "paint it Black "shirt ?

[@flyslow2096]

Did you giggle after saying "A tip in your box"? ;)

[@EuroYardService]

Those test pots were amazing product show case! Impressive those roots.

[@danielballester134]

Those plants look awesome, I’m copying that!

[@ronfurro4161]

Love the new Laws Across America pod-cast! What was the control you mentioned that helps St. Augustine fight Bermuda invasion?

[@TheGreenerLawn]

When your first question when seeing this thumbnail... what was the growing medium to have clean roots like that..... then you realize.... SAND! That is nutz! Lawn care NUTZ!

[@CCCC-tq8yo]

Ya mader super green lol

[@christopheralegria71]

You've sold me on GreeneStart. I'm doing a lawn reno this year and I'm building my arsenal for the year.

[@reallybadaim118]

I like your weather pattern. It's perfect for shorts, a button down shirt and flip flops.

[@matthewhoward5366]

The weed identification in this video was good. That's the stuff I like to see so I know what to buy kill it. But as always, good content bro!

[@denmarksoul1184]

Your music selection is golden! 👍

[@JimmyLewisMows]

Those roots are magnificent! I hope John Perry was sitting down when he watched this.

[@Stefan_Smith]

Where is the Frankenstein concoction plug?

[@NJBackyardgarden]

Good video! Man do I wish u still had a cool season lawn ..... I’m from NJ but I still love watching u dominate down there

[@thomasdipaolo2349]

Please reply with link for the exact green start used. Also, product for ridding bermuda from st augustine lawn. Thankn you in advance

[@chasingthefish9042]

Next time you need to remove bushes use a pruning saw all blade and cut all the roots then use a engine hoist or a truck to yank them out!

[@whiteout628]

LMAO, a tip in your box every single week... Those innuendos, Hayne

[@FresYESLawnDude]

I could watch these videos all day!! Great stuff Allyn! 😎👍🏼

[@donalddurand9455]

Some of us have lawns that are all white still!

[@RaulSachsCarrillo]

Great video those roots are insane, love those red sister Ti plants.

[@johnfetter3252]

Giant Stolons of St. Augustine. Great name for a progressive rock band.

I live in northwest Indiana and have built a new house. we have lived there for only a year. the backyard was seeded. we have a lot of clover and looking for recommendations on how to get rid of it. Larry

[@HartheMan]

Looking forward to the warm season Turf guide update. I got it last year and it save my yard the updates will just be icing on the cake.

[@bjoernobrecht5081]

Great video again Alan. Can't wait to for the latest episode of the podcast. Thank you

[@natebolton9385]

Loving seeing that green grass. We just got 4 inches of snow yesterday and another 2-6 coming Tuesday night into Wednesday.

[@Thelawncarenut]

I got plenty of sun here for you now until spring!

[@djmandolivechicago2844]

hello there .. QUESTION? spring is around the corner..(what is the purpose of grass irrigation v.s power raking) thank you .which you recommend

[@the-handy-fixer]

Crazy stuff. Your roots are 🔥bruh.

[@jgt157]

What happened to your updated version of warm season lawn digital guide? Have you sent that out yet, because I haven't gotten mine yet. Guess I should have waited until the video was over. Duh!

[@Thelawncarenut]

this week by Friday!!! :)

[@brianacker1027]

How do you feel about using one of those husqvarna automower? I know you like cutting grass often. Curious how 24/7 cut grass would do. Love to see you do a test with something like it

[@Thelawncarenut]

I would never touch one of those hideous things 😂😂😂

[@nekton.avenger]

V. Helpful @LCN, thanks!

[@redtwin1968]

That Floratam looks awesome!

[@JsCrazyCutzLLC]

👍really liked this one

[@kevinscott6372]

When you sending out your new cool season plan???

[@Thelawncarenut]

early March for sure

[@ARon82]

Hey Allyn love your lawn keep it up down there.

[@Greenway1214]

Keep hoping for the day you redo your garage. You should paint, put in some cabinets, work bench, hangars and organizers for all your stuff, and more lighting. I just painted mine this weekend, next will be building cabinets and hangars. All using a French cleat system.

[@jerrylopez6237]

5:43... palm on the left kinda looks like a bottle palm? Or is it just a queen palm?

[@mattcondit356]

Looking forward to the updates and then some weather to put it all into motion up here in NJ.

[@jefchaplin6205]

Great stuff bro, thanks (three inches of snow today). 👍😎

[@jonhawkins2374]

Hey LCN , great video grass looks Amazing & palms. Question are you using Prodiamine 65 WDG for you pre-emergant....????????

[@Thelawncarenut]

I will use Pennant Magnum but will apply prodiamine granular in one spot just to show how it goes down

[@carlbird4737]

Those Sister plants look really good buddy :)

[@RCJOE]

Can you use green start on the yard as a normal treatment?

[@gladysorama]

I'm also going to have to get that greenstart for the hot summer months. Looks like it worked great! My neighbors would definitely be jealous during those dry hot days when my lawn stays green and theirs doesn't!

[@AsLawnandLandscaping]

Them roots bro! Nice video!

[@MarkAJ311]

Al, could you touch on Poa Annua, maybe in the podcast? I live in Western, NY and had a lot of Poa last year. I used Dithiopyr in the Fall and am curious... will that prevent Poa Annua entirely this season? Should I be expecting to see 90% less in year 1, or does it take years? Thanks.

[@Thelawncarenut]

if you get it down prior to temps falling to 70F in fall you have the best chance. As far as effectiveness there are many factors that contribute there but def if you got down a proper app (which I know you did!) you should see a marked improvement. Plus, hope for the best !!!

[@MarkAJ311]

@@Thelawncarenut Always! Thanks, Al. Look forward to seeing how it turns out. I always wondered why my lawn looked all different shades of light green. Took me a while to learn about Poa. Definitely a subject that beginners could use more info on!

[@Homegardener55]

Could this work on vegetables or is it best suited for turf

[@Jeffhuebner]

Dang, those roots!!!!!!

[@Abeckerme]

Do you know if the Green Start and Hydretain are safe for pets and kids?

[@YardGuy]

He almost laughed 😂 when he said tips in your box.....

[@TheLawnGuardian]

Those roots in the test pots are crazy! Very cool. I think I've seen bermuda grass climb bushes like that St. Aug did as well! Great video, bro! The weekend is not complete with a good LCN video.

[@jasnoc]

Could you give us a brief mention about app rate? Curious as to what that might be. For carbon-x

[@Thelawncarenut]

3lbs/1000 with give you .72 lbs/N

I will watch, and thumbs up a vid of you planting trees! I like any vids you post where your not promoting something or sponsored by something. I go way back with you and your Channel though! Keep up the good work brother

What can be done on my Saint Augustine lawn? It’s like walking on a mattress!! I was told to add sand. House and lawn is only 2 years old. HELP……

[@jayfirebaugh]

That's a lot of work on those bushes! I had a pro tell me they use a come-along to pull the whole root ball out for bushes like that but I've never tried it.

[@gregory8901]

Should I buy plugs or relocate cut out my own plugs from healthy are to fix a dead area? I'm on a budget... your videos are awesome. -Los Angeles

green start?

With roots like those would they naturally keep your soil uncompacted if it was like that across the lawn?

yes that is the idea!

Those stolons and roots need to go in the Smithsonian, unbelievable. Dreading pruning my hibiscus back soon because I've been putting humic 12, and rgs on them and they are absolute monsters now. Any advice on how to prune flowering shrubs?

You should buy a bag of mini pink bark nuggets to put over the potting soil in those pots.. it will look nice and keep the soil from drying out..😎

I would like to buy some CarbonX- the company website directed me to your website. I live in Texas. I think whatever I clicked/put my email address in on your website just signed me up for your newsletter again. (I already get it.) Is it just wait for you to announce it or is available to buy now? I know availability is low while they get started. Just wanted to check to see if I was an idiot and somehow clicked the wrong places? Thanks!

Dang! Green Start, RGS and Hydretain are no joke !!
