The most important tip on preemergents
I use contractor paper rolls. They're thick and will break down overtime, which is great if you want to amend the soil and for worms.
Can you use cow manure
Yes, "black cow" is a good one I have used in the past
I put a ~5 inch deep trench (not wide) around all my beds that are next to bermuda. Looks great and don't have any more problems with bermuda sneaking through and into the beds.
I know landscape fabric sounds good in theory, but in practice it seems problematic. The deterioration and ripping of landscape fabric - as you found out - seems to be inevitable in all landscapes. One possible solution to prevent bermuda from creeping into landscape beds is to insert a physical barrier between the lawn and bed. I have heard about this but haven't seen it commercially sold, but it would be something like a 6" deep, thin "wall" that prevents rhizome spread underground (the above-ground edging would prevent stolon expansion). I think a DIY barrier out of wood, plastic, or treated metal could work, but I just haven't figured out how to go about this.
Does need water in after application? Thanks
If you are applying granular, yes.
@@TheALG not granular, same product you recommended, the propiconazole . Does need water in?

Hi here in Cali zone 9. Can I still use a fertilizer like Scott’s Weed and Feed this month or can I use a pre emergent? Thank you!
A yard of concrete delivered is like 250 bucks. And its mixed.
I tawt I taw a puddy tat…😂
I always use a commercial grade landscape fabric. The stuff I use comes in a 100 ft x 36in roll. If you are going to put stone down, this is my go to fabric. If you are landscaping a flat area with mulch, then use this fabric. If it is a raised bed with mulch, I never use the fabric, because the mulch will just slide down. I use alot of stone in my beds because we have alot of cottonwood and maple trees that dump seedlings into the mulch. Good job!
Watering can full, simple solution, thanks man :)
Thanks for this video. To the point.
Nice job!
I'm all for raising the height of a tree, but I'm not cutting down trees in favor of better bermuda. I value the curb appeal and the beauty of nice trees better than a slightly more green yard.
Good technique- I watched this similar video with two white dudes. One of them ripped off the frame and it damaged a large portion of the slab and they under watered the slab so it was totally shit job.
Lots of steps but worth it. I had such a fly invasion but now realize what I need to do
Doesn’t work in Florida. I’m out there weekly doing this and it still makes it into the beds. Gotta put an underground edge about 6-8” below ground. That’s the only way to prevent it.
My lawn in 5000 sq feet which is better
Love my Honda HRX217 twin-blades and keep thinking of…. modifying my Milwaukee Mower to twin-blades.😊
Concern I have with this is that mine is down on one end about 2 inches. By design the box has a cut out for the water line to go through and I'm not sure they cut off the material on the bottom. If the did, great, If not when I pull to box up, I'll be pulling on the water line.
Will it kill the grass ?
No
On average how many more mow less days can this PGR buy users ? If i can get 2 to 5 more days between mowing then I'll walk the walk spraying pgr, especially for a greener lawn. My lawn is palisades zoysia, it is greener and slower in growth but time is money saved!
Depends on the application rate. Applying half dose will allow me to only cut every 4 or 5 days. Applying full does maybe every 8 days. If you are starting out, I would do only 1/4 dose to see how your grass does then step it up.
I bought SedgeHammer to deal with a small nutsedge outbreak in my yard. Unfortunately, when using the granules you need to mix up a large batch at a time (at least 1/3 gallon or more), which is way too much for my yard. I should have gone with that smaller spray bottle of Ortho Nutsedge killer instead.
Yea, sedge hammer is a great product but was too much for what I needed. That packet I show in the video was brought 2 years ago and I still have not used it because the ortho spray bottle is so effective.
Is it safe to apply in 90+ temps to Bermuda?
Nothing on the label states you can't apply it but I personally avoid applying anything mid day.
Actually, it's turned out pretty good. 👍👍👍
Anyone seeing this comment please reply . I've made a place like this for my 3 year old gsd . We have just shifted to a new place few days ago (3 days) , due to my busy schedule i wanna him to use that place for poop and pee but till the date he has been holding his poop for nearly 3 days ( 2.5 days ) which i think somehow affects his health , he is eating properly and is quite healthy but this after coming to here he has not pooped even once . Plzz help me how to train him to do there only cuz after researching a lot I can't find a proper way for it . Thanks :(
Is there another time of the year when it would be appropriate to level out the lawn?
I imagine you have to keep the backpack sprayer tank pressurized so you need to hold the blower and pull the trigger with one hand, squeeze the trigger to release the fluid into the nozzle with the other hand, and then periodically stop and pump. Is that right? Didn't really show that in the video.
I used a battery sprayer, no pumping.
The rule for screwing is generally thin to thick. That is, screw through the plywood into the 2x4's. But, that is just a pointer for a job well done!!!
Thank you
After scalping, it would have been a great time to aerate, fertilize, than top dress. Did my reset aug 1, and in 12 days was completely green. Do u have issues with ur rev when turning, scuffing up the grass? Keep the informative vids coming 👊
For a big mower, it moves very easily. Some minor issues with cutting on one side but I believe I fixed it. I need more testing to make a video about it
This video long for no damn reason😂
You got a Rev 26! I got one back in April and have been using it all summer long. Great mower!
What is the time schedule you used to water it everyday? 10 mins? 20? ??
First 3 days twice a day morning and evening for about 30 mins. Once a day on day 4 through 7 for 30 mins. Every other day until it was filled in.
Level my yard two weeks ago with masonry sand when I bought my Rolux X20
when you were tamping the gravel, I don't see the cinder blocks...did you dry pour over the blocks? looks like you formed around the blocks, is that right?
Cinder block down first, rebar in between the holes, dry pour concrete in between the cinder blocks, gravel over everything, tamper down then dry pour everything. Hope this makes sence
@@TheALG very nice work thanks
Paid over 800 on my EGO and I regret it every time I cut my grass! Bogs down and pulls grass....would never buy another battery powered lawn mower!
Great job! Much needed.😊
Should I wait 2days after cutting to apply (per label). Are being the cave man I am wait 1day, lol?
I don't recall what the label says but most post emergents want you to wait 2 days
@@TheALG I'm just going to spot treat it. Ty,
Thank you for the follow up. Maybe it would be a good idea to have a bucket of pea gravel nearby that you could just scoop into it kind of like a kitty box you could disguise the or Ben to look like something pretty on the outside.
Great idea
It seems like it would’ve been a good idea to make it a little little bit away from the fence. Also would be good to add a border all the way around and if you use landscape fabric stake it down and maybe make the potty area a little deeper
You probably can't see it on camera but there is a slope. I did think about stay8ng from the fence and it probably would have been a good idea.
My dogs love to eat rocks and other materials. They have a fenced-in area with nothing but sand. They love to dig. But it makes cleaning up the mess so easy.
I got 3300 sq feet but i like my perimeter cover with it looking like dirt. However i see people use it for their lawn to control bugs. I dont want a lawn and want to gravel my land and will use it as dirt ...
You’re a very nice lawn. I liked your video. It was short and to the point.👍🏼
The moment you start to have very thick grass electric mowers do struggle. I started with electric and now moved to petrol because there is way more torgue
That is true, but the flip side to this , if you allow a long time to pass between mows, all mowers will struggle but more so the battery mowers.
@@TheALG I was moving my lawn every week with my electric mower and as my lawn got healthier and thicker my Electric began to struggle really badly even setting a high mower height. I'd do 2 strips and I'd have to stop as the mower deck would clog and I'd have to stop. This was with a high end Greenworks 46cm v40 mower. I decided to get a petrol mower and now Im not having to stop at all as the mower just chomps away without slowing down or even struggling! It's made a massive difference to the mowing experience
I never used the greenworks
I want to use the sise of my house but its slanted? Will slanted ground deter my dog from pooping?
It shouldn't, the main deciding factor that will determine where your dog goes is the training, and I mean consistent training. Where I built the spot initially was not sloped, but after the pool was installed, the surrounding land got raised up, creating a slope. This did not stop my dog from going to the spot.
Excellent video chock full of simple and effective strategies to build a healthy Bermuda lawn. Thank you.
So you’re saying if I have Bermuda in my front yard and I wanna do a rye grass I have to completely cut the Bermuda all the way down and then throw seeds and it’ll come up perennial dry grass. What about the Bermuda grass is they gonna grow into it?
