I'm 13, now my yard every weekend in the summer. Today I tried your slanted double-fat stripes technique. I am now dominating my neighbors by far.

[@TheKingIgnacio]

I live in Virginia and My St. Augustine began suffering from brown patch disease early last month. It killed half of my lawn! Threw 2 applications of fungicide, bagged the clippings, and held off throwing Milo down. She's slowly recovering. Thanks for reinforcing the tips!

[@timkorth]

Alan thank you for all the lawn care tips and suggestions. I have not been able to work on my lawn for the past 4 years due to a major back injury. I always dominated my neighbors in the past. Five weeks ago I was finally able to get back out there and work on the yard again. My lawn was infested with plantain weed, with your suggestions the plantain is gone. All the places were the plantain was, six days ago I reseeded and already have new grass coming in. The rest of the grass has thickened up allot and is much greener. The person who was cutting the grass was cutting it too short, thus getting very thin and brown. Thank you again to helping dominate my neighbors. Tim from Wisconsin.

[@chuckkowalski6360]

Another great video and information... thanks to your Sons for their service, good to see you and Jake making a video together.. thanks !

[@TheLawnCareNut]

thans bro

[@nicksmith1363]

After dominating my neighbors all summer the last two weeks this issue has got me not dominating as hard! Thanks for the video.

[@captainhiltz73]

Allyn. A big thank you to your sons', and to you for service to our country. My lawn thanks you as well. She's lookin' fine here in Colorado. I'm a young guy and it's always nice getting compliments from the old guys in the neighborhood.

[@shawnamison2485]

The Nutt and his prodigy back together again! Awesome! I was wondering why my lawn has been so brown this year. We've had a very wet and cool summer so far, raining several times a week so I know it's not drought stressed. Now I know why those lawn diseases are taking over. Once again I learned something new. Thanks again for the vid!

[@DS-gb7um]

I swear the "Thrower dowwwn" edits randomly in the videos are hilarious! Great videos Alan 👍🏼

[@TheLawnCareNut]

thanks bro, I have fun finding spots to throw them in.

[@fernandojalon5033]

The Lawgn Care Nut Great job on this video. Can you put a video on Stacy on the lawn and how to remove it Thanks

[@CCCC-tq8yo]

Ya

[@mcnell311]

Its these kinds of videos that set you apart from the competition. Nice work LCN, appreciate it.

[@TheLawnCareNut]

thank you!

[@MrFussPantsChicago]

Guys, thanks for another great video. The cool lawn season people appreciate it! Covered a lot of typical things that we see regularly and solutions to those problems. Jake, way to dominate the yard business in the neighborhood, great work!

[@chriszuccaro7074]

This video was fun to watch. I could have watched you and Jake walk and talk for hours!

[@JealousLawnCare]

Yes 2017 was a rough year for a lot of us in the midwest. Glad to see you still remember us every now and then! :-)

[@dblood8529]

So true @ 14:00 when LCN talks about sod. I patched my lawn with sod and it's the first to struggle when it gets heat/drought stressed. It's the first to brown up. Thank LCN for validating that.

[@randyrejer4219]

I really enjoy watching you and Jake and have learned a great deal about taking care of my lawn. Every time I start to apply my Milorganite I yell "throw er down". Thanks for another great video.

[@brentpeluso8690]

This video was really engaging. It's awesome how many lawn tips were provided. I liked that you guys walked around and critiqued other people's lawns. I won't tell you I don't do the same thing. :) Keep it up

[@whiteout628]

Great video, lots of great tips! And thank you for continuing to cover cool season lawns even though you no longer have one.

[@Azone14]

Hello from Michigan. This was one of the most informative videos anywhere for the issues we are facing this year. You Nailed It!!!

[@lawncaredad1883]

Absolutly awesome video brother! Can't even tell you how much I enjoy watching each and every post!

[@bitterchild7133]

This is a good vid of different lawns and problems... I like the walk around and Jake's mowing skills but I do live for the domination

[@manhbeachscanner6171]

Glad to see you back on the air.

[@martinwittig4739]

One of the best videos on lawn related issues I’ve seen so far. Great work!

[@AbbyMacy67]

Thanks for all the great information, I'm adding a little baby shampoo to my ortho weed killer, has worked well except for clover. Also a little humor is always good people need more of it these days, love the vid!!!

[@elraymy]

hahaha i love it when the pop up line comes up "THROW ERRRRR DOWN" LOVE THIS!!!!!! makes me laugh

[@checkerrs]

Finally a new video! Glad you did not forget the cool season grass.

[@davidcranford7382]

Congratulations, 101K Subscribers. Another Learning experience. Glad to see you and Jake together again.

[@jasonpalmer1552]

Oh man this was the video for me! Seeing brown patch starting to form up in Connecticut in my lawn. I already treated once with Patch Pro but was going to put down milorganite. Now I won't.. I'll dry it out and treat again with Patch Pro. Excellent!

[@rmb5858]

It's funny that you made this video - this was the first year that I applied a fungus control product at the "preventive rate" to my lawn pre-problems. So far, so good. I started having some red thread pop up, so I hit it hard at the "curative rate" this past week. I agree that we in the north (Mass in my case) are having a weird summer (summah) as it's hot then cool then hot, then rain, then dry then rain (too much as was the case last week) and humid! Humidity kills the grass! And what I see around me is people water too much when it's hot and humid and that only compounds the issue with diseases. Too much water is a grass killer. It's such a tight rope.

[@thefamousdave856]

Good to see you and the lawn kid acquainted again! 🤙

[@Legacy_125]

OMG! I this episode was packed with information. I will watch this a few times.

[@yarvargas209]

I have my crew watching these videos now lol. We work at Tracy unified school district in Cali, and take care of West high school grounds and irrigation. keep up the vids man. We also dominate the city and other schools lol.

[@chrisnovelli-n3architecture]

One of your best videos of the year.

[@LawnTips]

Loving the drone shots! They must be getting all our winter rain, cause we have had the driest winter on record.

[@oscarmayer0123]

Great video! Love the humor. And congrats on 100k people satisfied by your tip!

[@AmazingAirshowVideos]

AWESOME VIDEO! This one comes in #2 of ALL your videos!! ...obviously Domination is #1. (Its gonna be hard to knock that one out of first place.) Really great video. Like the long form of it too.

[@rjmiller2553]

It wasn't even 2 years ago when the Lawn care nut was all about education with a big focus on saving us money from scummy products....now his education of viewers always teaches the importance of certain things we need and he will sell us.

[@Methodical2]

I think he left his regular job and has made this his full time job now. I have no issues with the direction he's taken because he still provides the education on every product in his videos. He gives you the information and you can take it or leave it. It is up to you to do your due diligence and some research of your own to determine if the product is right for you. If you follow anyone blindly without doing some leg work of your own, well.... I can't blame that man for trying to make a living.

[@MayweatherjrWONandsoTrump]

Those sun shades are killer!! What brand and model are those? I was glad to watch Jake side by side with Allyn. That kid knows his lawn very well

[@jackpage5338]

Need a bloke like you for Aussie lawns!!!

[@matthewscelza4761]

I really enjoyed the walk and talk style video. Great job Al!

[@TheLawnCareNut]

thanks!

[@SunyJim]

Awesome tips for us Northern Lawns. My big trouble is that our provincial government here in Canada banned most of the pesticides. All these fantastic chemicals to kill off problems are off the shelf. I get weed be gone with iron instead of 24D I think my lawn is doing better than most, with cutting tall, and good starter fertilizer in the spring, but I'm not sure how to get rid of the clover, and wild violets that have growing, and crabgrass (other than to pull the weeds manually)

[@petergriffin383]

I like this guy, he cracks me up. Had to sub, I love the "Dominate your neighbor" theme...its great and dude really knows what he's doing. Keep up the good work!

[@rooster3019]

The tall fescue crowns you showed reminded me. I used a foam paint brush attached to a long roller handle to precisely paint the tall fescue weed with Round Up without painting the turf fescue under and around the crowns. At the end of week one post treatment it looked promising, the tall weed fescue was sick, the turf was OK. Now at three to four weeks post it is failure, Everything in the root zone of the painted weed fescue is dead almost the same as if spot sprayed. RATS! But, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

[@mikeleroy2282]

Thanks lawn care nut. My lawn has improved with your videos. My wife says our lawn is best in the neighborhood. better than guy who had his delivered on a skid. LOL

[@Americanfamily-uq1nh]

It's about time! Been a while since you've made us a nice video! Thank you

[@TheLawnCareNut]

I've been a little busy :)

[@itsonvideo]

If you get a tervis cup sponsorship....I can't argue with that one. Tervis cups are the best!! I want in on that one! I subscribed around the time you were moving to FL so I was salty I would lose northern lawn tips! But NOPE.....you went lawn care deployment back north! Thanks!

[@lambert1702]

Bayer granulated (they also have a liquid) is propiconzole and Fertilome F Stop is Myclobutanil.

[@mikeys7772]

Excellent video as always. Looking forward to a Fall rejuvenation vid for cool weather grasses. WHEN do we start? WHAT order do we seed, fertilize, aerate? WHEN do we cut again? HOW do we prepare for winter? Thanks for considering my request.

[@sitizenkanemusic]

Crabgrass is going crazy this time of year here in california. And since we had had record rainfall this past year, Nutsedge has been a big problem for a while now. And chemicals do work, but it leaves the area brown from dead nutsedge. But your videos are helping! I'm thinking about sodding areas in the back yard. Can you make a video on how to lay out sod effectively so water doesn't "puddle" and the sod would be even?

[@mattw2062]

This video is exactly what I needed. Definitely having some of these issues up here in CT. Thank you for the help!!!

[@davidhintz1806]

This is great! If there are enough nuts is a certain area, people get paranoid and they start looking at satellite photos and comparing their lawns.

[@davdrums]

Love this video. I like how you were identifying weeds. Keep up the good work LCN.

[@dberg1964]

One of your best videos!! And let me say something about sponsorship's. If you have personally used a product and like it's performance then it's absolutely no conflict of interest to be "sponsored" by them. it's easy to see that you're a dude with integrity. I know you would never recommend something that doesn't work the way it should. Take Toro mowers. Is there a better mower that a typical homeowner could buy? No. I've run them all. Ease of use and quality of cut. There simply isn't a better mower out there for the money. As a matter of fact. If somebody is looking for a mower but can't swing a new one buy a used one off of CL or something. Better to have a used Toro than a new of just about anything else. That's what I did, 7 years ago. Somebody just gave me another one because it stopped running. It was a bad kill switch. Easy fix. Now I have two. Dominating my neighbors weekly. And that's a chore. I'm the only one on the block that isn't using a lawn service.

[@JeffSmith-eq3kc]

I've begun using a lesser version of my fungicide regiment that I use on my bentgrass putting green on my low cut ryegrass. I was running into terrible grey leaf spot with a lesser fungicide program. I use posterity xt, banner Maxx and Daconil Action as my base rotation and in combination. Works great but stupid expensive unless you have a putting green and need it.

[@mtrotter325]

no cool summer grass in Ft Worth, I tell ya that man. but I still enjoyed watching the entire video. while my yard isn't a prize winner, its certainly looking better than my neighbors thanks to you! I love that they have "landscapers" (GED people) that run through their yards and scalp their grass. mine is about 3in and much healthier looking..muah haha...

[@Prtygrl44]

I Love Love Love your Videos, I am a Lawn Fanatic myself and it's a wet summer here in Pittsburgh, PA and am getting a few brown spots in my lawn as well but don't seem real bad yet

[@TheLawnCareNut]

give it a few days and if they spread it may be too late!!! thrower down!

[@Prtygrl44]

I Bought Bayer lawn fungus granular, and I will Mow tomorrow then "Thrower down " Lol Love that ha ha ha and I wanna ask though when should I water it in???? its 90 here and super HUMID and HOT in Pitt Pa Thanks so much I Love learning more and more about lawns ..super OCD w mine too

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

mcflyyyy....

[@Marmocet]

I see the guy with the textbook problem lawn also has a tree (visible at 8:52 and 10:08) with a textbook problem of its own. The crown dieback and thinning foliage on lower branches are the result of a number of causes that all trace back to that ring of mulch he's got piled up against the trunk of the tree. If he gets the mulch away from the trunk of the tree right away, he _might_ be able to save it, but its structure will be permanently compromised. Stress and death caused by excessive and improper mulching is probably now the single biggest problem facing US landscape trees.

[@henrysimmons6767]

Man, long but great episode. I look forward to your video every week ky friend.

[@patg4246]

The Fireworks were super cool!!!! Loved this video!

[@lisettezambrano8359]

Thanks for this video. My front yard is Blue Grass ( North East-Philadelphia) and this year it got very bad due to what you just explained. I had applied the fungus treatment 3 times so far, but I think the damage is already done and my front yard is really ugly. I would like to know how and when I can start restoring my front yard after this terrible disease. How much longer should treat the lawn with fungus?. Thanks and great videos

[@torotodd3028]

Thanks for the education. I've learned what my issues are, and how to treat them. By the way, not how I'd thought to treat.

[@jaredmeyer8806]

Allyn, would you suggest mowing a little shorter than usual to help with drying out the lawn? I have tall fescue and usually mow it at 4" twice a week. Or will the fungicide take care of the brown spots even if the grass stays tall? Thanks

[@SRM_NZ]

Hey - what advise would you give to people struggling with cool season in a place like Auckland New Zealand? Our climate is such that it rains non-stop for 4 months of the year during winter, never gets cold enough for winter dormancy and becomes extremely dry during summer not that hot but with no ozone, it's best described as - intense! 99.9% of our native trees are evergreen and it's hard to get full sun to any lawn. I have to blow most of my lawns during winter and shoulder seasons because they are so wet. Our main cool season grass is Tall Fescue - for perfection I spray with fungicide fortnightly and monitor very closely my fert's as I run a N-P-K of 6-0-12 late spring to summer and 16-7-8 fall to winter. I get problems with $spot and red thread in rye and fine fescues in winter as I have these for my shadier lawns where tall fescues and the warm seasons won't grow. My shadier lawns are a nightmare! I am considering upping my npk for rye to 16 summer and 24ish for winter - because of brown patch in the summer which is a total nightmare.

[@mrqarmout9086]

I love when Doc Brown meets up with Mcfly....great vid

[@GradyWhite2007]

That was cool with the drone! My son has one..About down here in west central Florida...This week we are about to get a lot of rain. I plan on applying a fungicide at the end of this rain occurrence... Some bug treatment as well. And don't forget...get your fertilizer before the June ban here.

[@reygomezhvac8346]

Great video, by the way that air conditioner sounds like it might have a low capacitor, I recommend a new capacitor and a hard start kit. keep that baby working in that Florida heat.

[@WilliamChangphotography]

How much Propiconazole - 14.3% should we mix into one gallon of water? Also, do you recommend I use Milogranite for nitrogen after the first applications of Propiconazole - 14.3%? Are these the right steps for this product? 1. Apply Propiconazole - 14.3% 1st treatment 2. Wait 2 weeks then apply fertilizer 3. Wait another 2 weeks then apply Propiconazole - 14.3% 2nd treatment? Thank you!

[@codymorrison3323]

What if I don't have a fungus but my neighbors across the street do. Should I take preventative measures? What may these be, if available?

[@fillowtree5505]

Great video. Can't wait to see the landscaping on the LCN homestead.

[@zachthiesing7011]

I have a question: I love watching your videos by the way. I live in Kansas and I just mowed in the middle of June. I had a lush green lawn. And I set my mower to the highest setting so I can make sure to keep the grass as long as possible. And after mowing the yard looked fantastic. We've recently had a rain drought. But we've had rain droughts before. I normally water 3 to four times a week maybe more depending on the heat. But 1 week later after I mowed. It literally looks like my grass is dying. I'm getting really big brown areas, it almost looks burnt. I don't know what I'm doing wrong or what happened. What do I need to do, and will my yard come back? I'm worried that the grass is just going to die. Please Help!

[@jogger1987]

I had a beautiful lawn last year this quite of few areas filled in with clover and noticed even brown through out not dollar spots. I didn't aerate, should I still do that now ? I did use a fertilizer April 6th, and put down another application July 6. I'm assuming that lack of aeration created some of my problems. Should I do something different in the fall to prevent the clover and dandelions over taking? What about for the rest of the summer now.

[@Americanfamily-uq1nh]

I've allowed my lawn to go dormant due to water restrictions. I'm hopping with my 4th of July application of milo it'll grow back strong

[@l9ikjam]

I just overseeding my lawn and it's looking nice and green. I went out to start my sprinklers and out of nowhere clovers were all over the lawn. I think I might have been over watering my lawn.

[@DukeMaster1956]

OMG! I think I have serious brown patch and I’ve mistook it for heat stress and watered the heck out of the brown discolored area which was about 60ft diameter. (Was watching this video while watering and RAN OUT AND SHUT SPRINKLER OFF when I heard part about DRY OUT YOUR LAWN!). Should mention in the BEGINNING! I have 2 acres of lawn I mow and have no means to catch clippings. ARGGGGHHHHHH. I have ordered the 128 oz jug of fungicide to begin treatment however. This brown patch has been getting progressively worse each year. Hope I can end it with your guidance.

[@BrandonStellmach]

Finally another video. Seems like forever

[@Truthteller100]

MIAGaming I thought I was the only one thinking that lol.

[@krismueller7843]

Great video! I'm in Kansas and my tall turf type fescue is definitely going through a brown patch phase. Thanks for the tips, I'll quit watering for now and make sure I aerate and over-seed this fall.

[@mattbeazer5896]

Clumping tall fescue is the bane of my lawn's existence. I got frustrated last year and took Glyphosate to it and ended up with a third of my front lawn dead. I had some spots as big as 3'x4'. Then my sprinklers went wonky and I couldn't reseed the spots, now I'm stuck with big bare patches probably until fall... how embarassing.

[@wayneessar7489]

Matt Beazer It is part of some seed blends here. I haven't tried them yet, would you say to avoid it?

[@mattbeazer5896]

Clumping tall fescue grows in patches of thick wide blades that slowly expand and take over. As they're lighter color than other grasses you get these weird lighter green patches that are a rougher texture too so it stands out. I thought it was crab grass at first but no lawn-safe chemicals will touch it. My house was an estate sale and the lawn wasn't maintained other than mowing for 8 years, as a result I had/have a huge problem with it. It's supposedly good for pasture land though as it's really hardy stuff, so I suspect that's why some have it in the mix. If you see a small patch dig it out. I had huge patches where digging wasn't feasible so I had to go with grass killer chemicals.

[@drewrobinson36]

Alynn your videos are next level now with that Ariel view

[@michealfink1089]

Okay.. i have a cool season "salad bar" yard.. will not call it a lawn.. been working on it since last fall.. kinda over it.. what are your thoughts on "harley rakes" to start over?

[@wesleyb82]

This format is super helpful, tons of info in there thanks

[@ColonelK0rn1]

Allyn, you should bring up the necessity for a calibrated sprayer. Also, that drone footage was pretty amazing. It looked like you were in the land of the above-ground pool. Nice landscaping at your home. I'm interested to see your choices for your color additions.

[@corey13]

If the fungus happens because of dampness does that mean you should stop irrigation?

[@melissavalentin8245]

What's the best over the counter weed killer?

[@leftisttears8080]

I live in south hot and dry but lawn gets Ton of water through irrigation’s . I have a ton of shade and have brown patch I think. Is fungicide the way to go? Will the brown spots come back or just stop it from spreading ?

[@modmatt89coupe]

hey just came across your channel i have this all over my backyard this year. it looks terrible lots of dead brown spots with the grass laying over it looks dead to me. should i rake up all the spots when i aerate and seed this fall? or leave it and some areas might come back? thanks for the lawn info wish i would have seen this earlier subscribed.

[@gutpileman]

I love the goofy stuff you do in your vids. Great stuff LCN!!

[@scottnew6157]

What about dethatching in the fall along with aeration to help the restore process?

[@petehefferon8192]

Hey Alan. Not related to brown patches in my lawn but mushrooms. I kick ass dominating my neighbour's lawns and take huge pride in keeping my lawn thick and green. But How can I kill off the Mushrooms??

[@kamrynheroux9456]

Hey Allen, Im trying to get my lawn back in shape, I think I have a couple different types of grass including Kentucky blue and tall fescue. How can I tell the difference in them and should I try to kill one type, oversees it with a mix, or kill the whole thing and start over, thanks

[@kennethtreadwell6447]

What kind of palm tree were those, I had one just like it that was killed in a freeze this winter, want to get another but don't know the type

[@JohnLeibfried]

I've got what looks like brown patch in my predominately fine fescue, prg lawn here in Connecticut. Random spots are dieting off quick and we have had a lot of rain lately. Going to bag the clippings for a while. Does mowing shorter help it dry out quicker? Seems like it could help.

[@mikemorgan8895]

Great channel, I definitely dominate my neighborhood. But this year I have brown spot in the planting strip between my side walk and the curb. I’m going to go with the fungicides. Could you do a video about lawns in heavy pine areas and sandy loams. My vacation home in NH is a tough place for nice lawns . I usually mix topsoils and seed and over seed this area in the spring after a de thatch.

[@sitizenkanemusic]

In a certain section in my dad's lawn, there are patches of grass that grows sideways because there is "carpeting" of dead grass that looks like a hat on top of the grass that grows sideways. What is it and how can I kill the "hat" of dead grass? Because it seems to be connected to the grass that grows sideways. In addition, I've been pulling patches of brown grass from the root, and notice that there are white spore-like looking stuff on the soil around the root. Is it a fungus killing the grass?

[@workinprogress5936]

I'm still not getting anywhere with my clover, it's seems to be getting worse. I am going to be getting on my hands and knees soon to start pulling that stuff out but it's really outta control. Do you know if that bayer stuff will help prevent it when I'm done?

[@BooTangClan]

JTLK, the yes man’s yes man.

[@caterpillarman]

Excuse me Mr. Nut, I have compacted clay soil. In the fall I plan to core aerate, overseed and topdress with homemade compost. Do you think I should add some washed sand to the topdressing to improve the soil? I live in the northeast and have had GREAT success following your tutelage.
