Hey Pete! I've been in the business my whole life and I learn something every day. I just barely started using these Green County products and I am impressed, we'll definitely be using more of it here in Virginia! The Lord is Good my friend! I think he'd like all this green we're creating down here.
i did this samething in the spring. I woke up the next morning and my yard was so dark green i was jumping in excitement. Really freaking works. Thanks for the great videos
I love some iron on the lawn! I read somewhere recently about how there is a max limit of iron to get the greener or greenest effect. Basically, the notion that more iron doesn't mean darker and greener turf. Like you said, it's in the genetics of the grass that determines how dark green the grass can actually get, but iron definitely promotes a greener lawn. Just at some point the laws of diminishing returns takes place. Also, iron will stain the driveway, brick, fences, and siding so one should be careful when applying iron!
Been there done that. I'll never dose the Iron heavy maybe wait a day between. Only .. Only attempt if your turf is healthy green and NO brown in it what so ever. Not even two weeks after using Drive XLR8 to kill some Crab Grass trying to invade. Anything that is NOT green and living will be brownish black. Told neighbor it was herbicide for Crab Grass.
Hey Pete, been watching your videos for awhile and am impressed with your professionalism yet you still seem like a laid back guy. Just bought the bio-stimulant package and can’t wait to try it out. I recently built a house and brought in a lot of dirt and planted fescue last fall. Most of the yard took real well but there are parts of a hill that grew baby grass about an inch and a half and will not grow anymore. Hoping this helps. Love your videos. Very informative.
Hey Pete. Curious about that striper. It looks like a big league striper but it had two rollers. Looked like two different sizes. PS- Don’t let Lawn Care Nut see that crack weeds in your paver sidewalk. He’ll be up there with a blowtorch.
Once again, great video, Pete! But, there was one minor distraction.....that Tar Heel shirt! If you like darker colors, wear a UK shirt, they're darker blue than the Heels! Go WildCats!
This is hilarious. I just put down an app of greene effect and micro greene on my 9,000 sqft yard....did an oil change on my mower....ordered a pizza and randomly started watching this. Im going on vacation tomorrow, but we'll see if i get a color change over night.
My deepwell water has a lot of iron in it, i bypass my filtration system of the house and water the grass. It stays dark green with no products. Now if i could just get the dirt right, My yard wont look like it has mange.
What about magnesium epsom salts, Pete? I use them on my lawn here in the UK and it greens up real good. Designed primarily as a foliage greener for house plants, I apply it via a MiracleGro hose sprayer bottle. I believe it works by assisting with osmosis and helps the sward draw up extra nutrients from the soil, especially after the application of fertilizers/iron.
Hey...Pete, ever thought about doing a time lapse video on the effects of different applications. Depends on the weather obviously. You could do weed killer, germination, iron, etc. Love the videos. God bless you and your family.
I need some advice, this is my first year at my new house. Around April I used Scott’s halts for weed and feed, a month ago applied Milorganite and shortly after used ortho broad leaf weed killer, (weed killer had little to no effect). I don’t think I mowed frequently enough after the milo kicked in and racked up a bunch of brown patches of dead grass. Should I do another application of milo along with a post emergent or should I just be patient and mow more often, can’t stand the brown patches and crabgrass. Thanks
Just seen your video I live in California an have Bermuda temps are in the 100s An I’m getting a few not dead but dry looking spots....what can I add to my lawn for green An better looking grass...anything would help
You can definitely see the color change on camera. Assuming that is long leaf pine in those beds, where do you get that from? Do they bail it or box it and ship? Thank you
Pete, can you throw a video together on how you maintain your pavers? I saw some algea or moss growing in the cracks along with (dare I saw it) a WEED in there around the end of the video. Curious to know how you treat those areas without damaging grass around them. Thanks! You landscape looks incredible!!
Hey Pete, what type of gloves do you use with chemicals. Everything I see at the stores are so bulky but the ones you use look like that fit more skin tight
Pete, can you spray this late into the fall season (late November) to keep the lawn green longer going into the winter months? If so at what rate? I live in the DC area and have TTTF/BG mixture. Thanks
Yeah but i would rather use the 18-0-1 for what you are wanting to do. www.gciturfacademy.com/product/greenepunch-18-0-1-four-1-gallon-jugs-4-gallons-total/
Hey Pete...great video! do you know if speed has anything to do with the striping as far as the lines being defined? I have a riding mower with the striper kit and I don't know if maybe i'm going too fast or if I should be going slower? or maybe it doesn't matter?
Pete, the videos are always great. If you sound like a salesman its because we are. We use the same products as you and have great results. Appreciate you taking the time to do the videos as we know in our industry there is not alot of extra time to teach. Keep up the great work. By the way I buy a lot from site one however they do not have anything to match GCF and especially the prices.
Great question bud! To be honest i am not sure. I would think that touch of nitrogen+iron would be the main cause.....BUT The micro's also help with that...could just be a good combination of 2 products???
Hey Pete….videos are top notch and yard looks amazing! Wondering if you have a solution for Bermuda? Have a few patches that I’d like to eradicate with a spray rather than totally killing the yard. Thoughts appreciated.
We got the iron spray and the adjuvant, but what was in the third bottle? you kind of ignored that one, you also checked the ph level and said nothing about what its supposed to be (are we supposed to read you mind?)
Has Pete named that secret adjuvant, I would love to get more applications out of the product. This will help me lower prices just a little bit to have customers buying this service. TIA
When using only 4 gallons to cover your sq footage, do you just make it super concentrated? For example if the liquid iron product recommends 8 oz per 1000 sq ft and you have a 8000 sq ft yard, would you just add 64oz to the 4 gallons sprayer and apply evenly?
@kingzt1212 Typically, with a backpack sprayer with a fan head with an average walking speed, it is 1 gallon per 1k sq ft. In a 4 gallon backpack, mix 32 oz of chelated iron. You will do 2 treatments for 8k sq ft.
I, too, was hoping you would have a video on the "Pete" Way of doing it. I've seen a lot of videos on it. However, I always find myself wondering how you would do it.
Backpack 1st app then sprayed off the truck 2nd app cause I was on vacation when 2nd app was due so i had one of my technicians do round 2 fungi app. 3rd will be backpack
were could i buy a bag of your custom blend seeds just like you have on your lawn? i live in Tennessee and it should do just fine here.... was just wondering..thanks and keep the videos going! there great.
Hey Pete, it’s Brent again I’ve been blowing you up lately. Question again, when you mowed in the start of the video did you have the Exmark Commercial 30 on 4.5? Also let me know if you ever offer any promos, I want to order the Bio-Stimulant package but wonder if yuh ever put out a promo. Thanks again for your time.
Hey buddy, so I saw you check the ph there before application? So what was the desired PH a 7 or lower since you added in the acid? I’m completely new at the liquid game but have watched your video here about 3 times to make sure I 1. Order the right supplies 2. Mix it right so when I apply it on my 8,000 sqft lawn I do it correct. Remind me again what the purpose of the Adjuvant, is it to help not have to put as much down is my understanding?? Thank you for your time and I look forward to watching your latest video about how Jesus changed your life. :)
I am gonna try some of the green effect on my lawn. Put it says 8 oz per 1,000 and dilliution of 7:1 i am putting down half gallon per 1,000 26 gallon tank my sprayer is. What would the oz per gallon I would need. Thank you
Pete thanks for reviewing this product. I've been ready to take a chance on it but unsure if it would make a real difference. I know every yard is different but I think it has potential in mine too. Thanks again bro.
Best way to erase stripes is to not do stripes at all. Cut doing the shrinking box method. Blowing the grass to the inside for half then to the outside the last half.
Hey Pete. I have a 4 gallon battery backpack sprayer and a 16,000 sq ft yard. How do I calibrate my sprayer to cover my yard with micro-nutrients in one tank instead of 4 tank fillings?
Zman fescue grass loves cool temperatures (54 degrees to about 85) cant remember the exact temperature and good amount of watering. Oklahoma is blazing hot and not enough rain. You will see more bermuda grass there and crabgrass
German yeah probably true. Most of NC can’t grow it either. Pete lives in the NW part of the state so the elevation plays a factor which is probably why he can grow it.
GCI Turf Services I’m in the NE and we have had a decent amount of rain. But we had rain before my application of the next products and no mushrooms and since the application pretty big uptick. We have been pretty humid here though particularly after the next application
I do not know the answer to this question. Mushrooms typically show up after lots of rain. I am not sure how the Bio's would have anything to do with mushrooms...
Hey Pete! I've been in the business my whole life and I learn something every day. I just barely started using these Green County products and I am impressed, we'll definitely be using more of it here in Virginia!

Pete, your videos are awesome. Thanks for all of this! You and Connor Ward are my fav youtube channels.
Better is the enemy of good enough, and your turf is already at the perfection level!

Agreed bro!
Toby Howard my lawn is turning black.. too much iron.
Been there done that. I'll never dose the Iron heavy maybe wait a day between. Only .. Only attempt if your turf is healthy green and NO brown in it what so ever. Not even two weeks after using Drive XLR8 to kill some Crab Grass trying to invade. Anything that is NOT green and living will be brownish black. Told neighbor it was herbicide for Crab Grass.
Finally someone who cuts the grass as it should be! good job !!
This video was so informative man,and your lawn is looking absolutely killer, amazing job.
God is good! Thank you for sharing your talent and humbleness. Lord knows we need more!! Great looking yard. .
@ 1:30 Celebrate freedom and God and what He has done for this country. Amen Brother and congrats on the 19K

Can someone inform me with how long does this last when sprayed. I might had not heard him if he did mention it. Thanks.
Looks great Pete. Can’t wait to get started with your program next week.
Hey Pete. Curious about that striper. It looks like a big league striper but it had two rollers. Looked like two different sizes.
PS- Don’t let Lawn Care Nut see that crack weeds in your paver sidewalk. He’ll be up there with a blowtorch.
LOL that weed does not bother me friend. Its big league I modified it slightly
What lawn care nut don't know, won't hurt.... well... lawn care nut.
^.^
Once again, great video, Pete! But, there was one minor distraction.....that Tar Heel shirt! If you like darker colors, wear a UK shirt, they're darker blue than the Heels! Go WildCats!
Come on down to NC Mr Scott..... I will take you out to lunch in CHAPEL HILL! LOL
Ha! It's a deal! Hope you don't mind if I wear my UK shirt....
Scott Summers A darker blue shirt is a necessity. Go Duke!!!
Yes, Bob, darker blue is a must! I love Coach K and respect the Blue Devils, but Go Wildcats!
Scott Summers They are both great programs. Fun competing but we have to admit Pete is the king of turf.
This is hilarious. I just put down an app of greene effect and micro greene on my 9,000 sqft yard....did an oil change on my mower....ordered a pizza and randomly started watching this. Im going on vacation tomorrow, but we'll see if i get a color change over night.
Awesome....I am watching what you do and making videos by it!!! LOL
My deepwell water has a lot of iron in it, i bypass my filtration system of the house and water the grass. It stays dark green with no products. Now if i could just get the dirt right, My yard wont look like it has mange.
I have a 17,400 sqft yard and was considering investing in a pull behind 25 gallon sprayer like the Allyn lawn care nut has.
Green Giant. Overnight sensational green!
Have you done a soil test on your yard? I wonder what the results would show?
What about magnesium epsom salts, Pete? I use them on my lawn here in the UK and it greens up real good. Designed primarily as a foliage greener for house plants, I apply it via a MiracleGro hose sprayer bottle. I believe it works by assisting with osmosis and helps the sward draw up extra nutrients from the soil, especially after the application of fertilizers/iron.
Man that grass looks sooo good...whew man
Very impressive! One of the nicest lawns i have seen. Well done!
Hey...Pete, ever thought about doing a time lapse video on the effects of different applications. Depends on the weather obviously. You could do weed killer, germination, iron, etc. Love the videos. God bless you and your family.
I have.... I have a good time lapse coming up soon....If I can figure out how to do it with an iPhone LOL
I need some advice, this is my first year at my new house. Around April I used Scott’s halts for weed and feed, a month ago applied Milorganite and shortly after used ortho broad leaf weed killer, (weed killer had little to no effect). I don’t think I mowed frequently enough after the milo kicked in and racked up a bunch of brown patches of dead grass. Should I do another application of milo along with a post emergent or should I just be patient and mow more often, can’t stand the brown patches and crabgrass. Thanks
This lawn is something else great job....
Just seen your video I live in California an have Bermuda temps are in the 100s An I’m getting a few not dead but dry looking spots....what can I add to my lawn for green An better looking grass...anything would help
Did you say, "adamant or adjamint? What exactly is that, and how much do you use, and where can I purchase it?
Man your lawn is huge! Its awesome
You can definitely see the color change on camera. Assuming that is long leaf pine in those beds, where do you get that from? Do they bail it or box it and ship? Thank you
It looks good no need to worry
Loved the video. OMG love your lawn! I'm a new homeowner on a quest to "get my color right!" Lol
Pete, can you throw a video together on how you maintain your pavers? I saw some algea or moss growing in the cracks along with (dare I saw it) a WEED in there around the end of the video. Curious to know how you treat those areas without damaging grass around them. Thanks! You landscape looks incredible!!
Thanks sir....I could care less about that weed LOL I will get a vid together
Hey Pete, what type of gloves do you use with chemicals. Everything I see at the stores are so bulky but the ones you use look like that fit more skin tight
Allen Austin check Amazon for Black Nitrile Gloves. I have child size hands and was able to find some that fit perfect.
What's your recommendation of curing burn spots in the lawn from female dogs. Anything I can spray to help prevent this?
Should you apply this after you mow? How long before you can now again?
Pete, can you spray this late into the fall season (late November) to keep the lawn green longer going into the winter months? If so at what rate? I live in the DC area and have TTTF/BG mixture. Thanks
Yeah but i would rather use the 18-0-1 for what you are wanting to do. www.gciturfacademy.com/product/greenepunch-18-0-1-four-1-gallon-jugs-4-gallons-total/
God Bless you Pete !!!
Can we buy your custom blend of seed? I live in southern California and my local supplier says TTTF is the most common for my area.
Hey Pete...great video! do you know if speed has anything to do with the striping as far as the lines being defined? I have a riding mower with the striper kit and I don't know if maybe i'm going too fast or if I should be going slower? or maybe it doesn't matter?
Pete, I know this is a old video. Congratulations on your new family additions! Whats up with the double set of roller s in this mower?
Yard looking good Mr. Pete
Pete, the videos are always great. If you sound like a salesman its because we are. We use the same products as you and have great results.

Pete...what would have more effect on color in your lawn an application of iron OR micro nutrients?
Great question bud! To be honest i am not sure. I would think that touch of nitrogen+iron would be the main cause.....BUT The micro's also help with that...could just be a good combination of 2 products???
Steve Willey I would it my money on on iron in the short term.
Can you explain the difference between an adjuvent and a surfactant?
Not really any difference at all. Same thing.... 2 different names for it
Hey Pete….videos are top notch and yard looks amazing! Wondering if you have a solution for Bermuda? Have a few patches that I’d like to eradicate with a spray rather than totally killing the yard. Thoughts appreciated.
Pete was the best time to cut the grass ,some say between 6pm -8pm what do you think
I like later in the day when its cooler
Love the video. What type of lawn mower did you use? What make is the striping kit that was used?
Can you put down a granular iron in a smaller amount, and a liquid iron on top of it?
If I were useing lesco 12-0-0 iron and I wanted to mix 300gals for medians what would be the mix ratio?? Please answer
how does it take to get rid of bermuda out of my tall fescue so i can just do a yearly treatment
Hey Pete. Great channel learning a lot bout lawn care
The lawn looks awesome .
Great video Pete!
We got the iron spray and the adjuvant, but what was in the third bottle? you kind of ignored that one, you also checked the ph level and said nothing about what its supposed to be (are we supposed to read you mind?)
31acruz Greene county 0-0-2 microgreene
31acruz MicroGreene 0-0-2 by GreeneCounty
@@FescueFreak I think he meant the bottle to the far left. Any idea what it is?
Hey Pete I was just wondering what was the rate you used for the MicroGreene? God Bless
Pete. Why push when you have riders? And when you keep the same lines for months!? Doesn't it make rutts?
Great guy and great service. Highly recommended and backs his product!! Many thanks Pete!! lifetime customer here!
Damn that's crazy how good that worked
Whow
What kind of surfactant do you use? The iron product I have says to spray until run off but I thought that might be too much.
Pete, can you tell us what you're seed blend is, or is it proprietary?
Has Pete named that secret adjuvant, I would love to get more applications out of the product. This will help me lower prices just a little bit to have customers buying this service. TIA
When using only 4 gallons to cover your sq footage, do you just make it super concentrated? For example if the liquid iron product recommends 8 oz per 1000 sq ft and you have a 8000 sq ft yard, would you just add 64oz to the 4 gallons sprayer and apply evenly?

Question for you Pete how do you level out low spots in a yard ?? with dirt or sand or both ?
or top dress the area
Michael Paese Lot of folks mix dirt and sand. The sand helps keep the newly filled spot firm. Try 3:1 dirt to sand.
I, too, was hoping you would have a video on the "Pete" Way of doing it. I've seen a lot of videos on it. However, I always find myself wondering how you would do it.
You using your permagreen for fungicide apps or Backpack for all home apps?
Backpack 1st app then sprayed off the truck 2nd app cause I was on vacation when 2nd app was due so i had one of my technicians do round 2 fungi app. 3rd will be backpack
Keep us up to date on how long the darker color lasts..
were could i buy a bag of your custom blend seeds just like you have on your lawn? i live in Tennessee and it should do just fine here.... was just wondering..thanks and keep the videos going! there great.

Brent Markham ph adjustment is specific to my Adjuvant. Nothing else. If you do not have my Adjuvant then no need to adjust the ph 😎
GCI Turf Services Thanks I see your kit is currently sold out. May look into it once you get more in. Will also buy the Green 7-0-0 also.
Amazing. Just found your channel.. need to come back for more insights.
Thank you for the video! What stripper kit is that you use on the back of the mower? 🙏
Would like to see a review of simple grow solutions products
WOW... it's SOOO plush, if I was your neighbor...I'd want to roll around it 😄
For a 12,000 sq ft (kbg) lawn, would you recommend a Toro 30 inch Timemaster or 42 inch ZT?
Tom Peebles hmmm. Tough choice. I lean more towards the smaller unit for turf health reasons.
@@GCITurf can you refer or recommed a resource that dives into this topic?
Tom Peebles I guess I could make a video on it
Is this similar to super juice, and did you add dye.Can I buy already mix
Super juice 🥤 😂
What sound canceling head phones do you wear?
How short do you cut tall fescue ideally for hot summers?
Looks very nice Pete
What kind of camera were you using in those first shots? It looked incredible
It's a beautiful green!
I can apply that stuff every month?
I am gonna try some of the green effect on my lawn. Put it says 8 oz per 1,000 and dilliution of 7:1 i am putting down half gallon per 1,000 26 gallon tank my sprayer is. What would the oz per gallon I would need. Thank you
16 oz per gallon if my math is correct
OK thanks again for your help
love how he says "tall fescue"
Talk about ear protection for us.
What?
Pete thanks for reviewing this product. I've been ready to take a chance on it but unsure if it would make a real difference. I know every yard is different but I think it has potential in mine too. Thanks again bro.
1 yr later
Best way to erase stripes is to not do stripes at all. Cut doing the shrinking box method. Blowing the grass to the inside for half then to the outside the last half.
So is a good rule for backpack sprayers that 1 gallon per 1000 sqft?
Hey Pete. I have a 4 gallon battery backpack sprayer and a 16,000 sq ft yard. How do I calibrate my sprayer to cover my yard with micro-nutrients in one tank instead of 4 tank fillings?
Most liquid applications suggest 1 gallon of carrier (water) per 1,000 sq ft. You should fill your sprayer 4x to cover your entire lawn.
This is how I do it www.gciturfacademy.com/product/sprayer-nozzle-assembly-trim-nozzle-gci/
GCI Turf Services Thanks Pete. Just ordered it.
Amazing lawn
Can't you run the opposite direction in the same lines to basically stand the grass back up "erase" the previous lay
i suppose you could ...yes
What was the 3rd bottle you added?
So I need some clarification. Fescue in shade only is a myth? I live in Oklahoma and have never seen a fescue lawn in non shade areas.
Zman fescue grass loves cool temperatures (54 degrees to about 85) cant remember the exact temperature and good amount of watering. Oklahoma is blazing hot and not enough rain. You will see more bermuda grass there and crabgrass
German yeah probably true. Most of NC can’t grow it either. Pete lives in the NW part of the state so the elevation plays a factor which is probably why he can grow it.
Pete. How many applications will you apply this yr with the Green Effect product? Thanks
Hey Scott! I will do 1 more 1/2 rate app 2 weeks before July 4 and then I MIGHT do one in the Fall before Thanksgiving...maybe
Love your vids. Keep them coming. You should consider writing a book.
I just bought some Air-8 from you. Any tips on how to use it?
Hi Pete. I put down some of the next products (rgs, micro greene, and d-thatch) and have seen a big uptick in mushrooms. Is that normal?
Have you had tons of rain lately?
GCI Turf Services I’m in the NE and we have had a decent amount of rain. But we had rain before my application of the next products and no mushrooms and since the application pretty big uptick. We have been pretty humid here though particularly after the next application
GCI Turf Services I’m not seeing any brown spot
I do not know the answer to this question. Mushrooms typically show up after lots of rain. I am not sure how the Bio's would have anything to do with mushrooms...
GCI Turf Services thank you for your time Pete.
Make a shirt that says “green as a gourd “
What do you use as a surfactant?
Hi friend super lawn I got so bio from b and q in Chester got to try it yet hope yours goes well 🇬🇧❤️
what's that filler in-between you plants? looks like pine needles.
