Hi from Palm Harbor. Plenty of rain, we're all looking like heroes with our green lawns up here! Just got my shipment of Stress Blend 7-0-20 and am champing at the bit to get some good fert down. Al, all of your great tips have paid off this year, lawn is keeping me up at night growing so much! Thanks for the video.
I'm a new nut to your page and really learning how to do it right I'm a mailman with a home depot on my route when I drop the mail off I always walk through the garden center today I found at the discount table 15K square feet worth of Bermuda seed and a bag of Ironite for $3 total Jack pot thanks for the knowledge
Yikes... I'm a certified operator in fl 9b. I've never seen your channel but nice looking lawn. This is attainable without so many fungicides... Reduce watering earlier in the fall and you can cut back on the fungicides... it's not easy but if you don't overfeed the lawn and don't overwater sometimes you don't even need to treat these fall fungus'... I only say that bc these fungicides destroy the soil biome... to each his own. Nice work man
Jacksonville here. It’s early December and we’re still having folks have us install sod. We did it last year and we had good luck. As long as the soil and sod quality was up to par first.
Love the use of the temperature data. It’s so useful to use when looking for trends in your lawn that are about to reverse and helps to prepare with really nice accuracy. As a full time financial futures trader, I love implementing data and trends into whatever I can. Love your videos. Keep em coming👏🏻
Love the app! And just ordered some stress blend. Excited to see how it helps the lawn! It’s been pretty dry and hot in OKC for awhile. The Bermuda needs some help. Thanks again for the video and the advice.
I put down Stress Blend a few weeks ago and it has worked great. I'm not seeing a ton of top growth, but it certainly is slightly darker green and it just appears healthier. I have centipede. I think this might be my new fert for all next season. Low N, nice amount of K, and other goodies mixed in.
Quick question. Recently purchased my home and the lawn is in disrepair. Recently i noticed some blades in my st augustine with a purple/red tint. All the research ive done says its due to cold season stress. However, im located in central Florida and it had been high 80s to low 90s with regular rain storms.
I see it periodically also. I think it comes from the grass having wet feet for too long, but that is just my guess. It will for sure recover once things dry up a bit and you fertilize it.
My question is on the lawn program calendar you say to use pre-emergent once in Sep and two times in Oct 2021. I sprayed 13grams per gal of water on my Bermuda. I saw on one of your videos to do this once in the fall.
Hi Allen, I live in Southern California. My back yard is fescue. I’m ready to feed it. I have a bag of Scott’s weed and feed. You think I’ll be ok to apply it? We are toward the end of September. Let me know your thoughts or recommend? Thank you Allen!
@@edwinjovel5701 if you have some weeds in the lawn that need killed off then I'd say yes. If you don't have any weeds and just need fertilizer, I'd recommending keeping the scotts WNF for spring and get something that is only fert with no herbicide included.
Hi! I’m looking for help with my Palmetto St Augustine grass. I live in Arizona and with the use of Greeneffect and microgreene together during the summer my lawn has been beautiful. With Arizona “fall/winter” coming I really want my lawn to stay beautiful. I am reading info online about soil temps, when or how often freezes happen in Arizona, and what type of fertilizers to use. Looking on the YardMaster app the calendar suggests what products to use and when. Are these suggestion geared more towards a certain region/climate or is it more of a general recommendation? I am leaning towards purchasing RGS/Humic 12 combo and potassium concentrate. Would this be a good combo to use during the fall/winter and how often. I just fertilized 2 weeks ago With the greeneffect and microgreene. Sorry this is long winded, with so much info on the internet/RUclips it’s hard to know what would work best for Arizona. Anyway, I enjoy your videos and the content you provide. I am learning a lot and value your opinion. Thank you!
Love your info and videos my grass has definitely gotten the dominating reputation from the neighbors. I was wondering if I use the Sunniland weed and feed in the yellow /purple bag is good enough as a pre emergent. I have Saint augustine and use a reel mower. I've used all the Bio stimulants, flagship and stress blend with amazing results. Thanks again for all you do.
This is a great question!! And I think the Sunni WNF for St Aug (and zoysia) is a great choice for fall or winter. It depends how far north you are. I assume for sure Florida but if you are in say Jacksonville, then you could use it here in the fall time, probably like early November and then it would carry you until you go dormant in January. You could then use it in the spring maybe like March when you start to wake back up. It would be good like that but my primary reco for the meat of the year like April - Oct - I'd juse Pennant Magnum.
I seen several suggestions to apply pre-emergent early fall to prevent weeds next spring/summer…. I did it last year and it didn’t work for my grass “Bermuda and st agustine “… suggestions on what pre emergent to apply now? I’m in Arlington Texas.
First I'd identify what weeds you were facing - because pre-emergents do not stop all weeds, only some. Once you know that then you can go back and see if you need to switch up pre-emergents or just get a stronger post emergent strategy inline for the spring.
@@TheLawnCareNut Dallas/dalis grass and crabgrass that’s the only two I have and I have Bermuda and st agustine grass. I’m in Arlington Texas. Thanks in advance for taking the time to reply to my question.
Awesome content! Love the Yard mastery app LCN, you have November as the time to drop the StressBlend AND Prodiamine...is this based on the soil temp in my town?

Quick question. I live in the Northeast, Long Island to be exact. The home I am moving into has what I believe is a Zoysia lawn at least 80% of it is. I’d like to know what I can do to prepare the lawn for winter and possibly spring this fall. This is my parents home so I can tell you will absolute certainty this lawn has never been fertilized, treated for weeds, de-thatched, aerated or even watered. Despite all this neglect it actually looks pretty good. Yes some nuisance weeds but it seems the Zoysia has been doing a pretty good job at keeping the weeds to a minimum. I started mowing this past season myself and allowing it to grow to 2.5-3” which I feel is open reason it has maintained its color and is fighting off the weeds. Once I move in this fall, I’d like to take it to the next level. Even though its only 75-80% Zoysia I’d like to treat it as if it were 100% in hope that one day it will get there. Any tips and tricks will be most appreciated. Thank you in advance.
First off, that surely is a VERY long island because I have talked to a lot of folks there over the years. I have also talked to quite a few who have zoysia. My assumption is that it was advertised in the Parade Magazine back in the 80s and 90s and started by plugs. That's why you are seeing it spread now to 80-90%. There are a lot of lawns outside of Chicago that have this same thing going on. Anyway, what is going to happen is the strengths of zoysia will continue to reveal themselves - once you start feeding it, it will get so strong it will destroy even more of the weeds all on its own. It will thicken up greatly. The challenge is that it's probably not going to green up until May when everyone else around you greens up in late March. You will still want to apply pre-emergent in spring when soil temps cross 55F, even if the zoysia is dormant. I'd use Celsius as my primary weed control if it's allowed in your state. Fert every 4 weeks starting as soon as it greens up in spring.
@@TheLawnCareNut a further question of I may? What would you recommend for a final seasonal mowing height for fall / winter? Would you recommend de-thatching in the fall or spring? Is it possible to find pre-emergent and or fertilizer over the counter that might work for spring? Any recommendations for winter applications. I appreciate your response.
Allyn! Any ideas on how to transition from Bahia to a different grass? (New to central florida) I am not liking the Bahia sod they put down, and want a better grass. What do you think??
Best to just rent a sod cutter and get it out that way, then sod your new lawn on top . St Aug and Zoysia can easily outperform any stragglers that remain.
Is it more beneficial and cost effective to DIY lawn care using yard mastery program or just hiring a company to do it?? I’m thinking the start up would cost more (getting the equipment,supplies, material) Also does the app tell you when to apply weed controls, insecticide, fungicide? Or is that just an if applicable situation? Thank you for taking time out to respond if you see this comment!
In MT...been throwing down the micros but no fert for probably 3 months. One place in yard not looking too good despite so threw down the stress blend (recommended by soil test last spring) AND some double dark so looking forward to the next week or two really popping. We had a really hot summer with little rain. Had a 390$ water bill in August 😬
I am so happy I stumbled onto your channel ! Awesome information ! We are currently building a new place in the Port Charlotte area.. What would you put down for grass for a brand new yard.. Flora tam, Bemuda or Zoysia.. I do like a nice green yard but dont want to be a slave to it. Whats your opinion ? Thank you !
I'm in VA transition zone with St Augustine, yard is dormant pretty much from Oct through May. Hate the look. Thoughts on overseeding with annual rye? Thanks for your time
I’m located in Orlando Fl so still warm temps and forecast shows around 85 degrees with minimal rain for the next 10 days. I still have some Flagship I’d like to finish off…would it be ok to still use flagship for this next application? I have irrigation so plan to still give it plenty of water
Thank you for the video. Quick question please. I have Zoysia grass on my front yard and Centipede in the back and I'm getting invaded by a bunch of mushrooms during this time of the year. I'm located in the transition zone area (NC). I hear it's a good sign I guess, but it just don't look good. Any way to prevent this? Thanks again!
Allyn, just purchased your backpack sprayer and am looking forward to using it. Quick question: my bermuda sod (55 pallets) is going to be installed in a couple of weeks, at my new house (soil test shows 7.8 PH). I am going to spray the GreenePop on the soil before the sod is laid, and then RGS after it's laid. I know I can't put any preemergent on it, I just wondered if there was anything I could do, Fall fungicides, etc., to assist in a quick response for next Spring. Thanks!
Your pH is a little high so I would for sure start working on that once the sod is rooted. Your coming to the end of the season so also make a plan to continue moving the pH starting in the spring.
Hi we are new to watching your channel and my wife and I have a question... in a video we saw you using a 3 in 1 lawn weed and feed. Now does that help new grass grow or do we need to have grass seed too? And in what order and waiting periods between if needed. Thanks, Deepa and Jared(and little Daxton too).
Thank you Allyn for the great content. Would like to know should I apply pre emergent if I have some bare spots for my Bermuda lawn? Will the PreE stop the Bermuda from growing back into the bare spot? Thanks.
Apply PreE on every part of your turf where you don't want any weeds to grow back, especially in bare spots. The PreE will not stop your Bermuda from growing or spreading into the bare spots. It'll only stop the weeds which will allow the Bermuda's runners to move in without interference.
I'll be making content all through the winter but for now, the 7-0-20 Stress Blend is a good choice or if you have been on a nitrogen ban like me, I'm going Flagship right out of the gates.
Bought this house recently & has St Augustine. Yard looks great! Question is, is that is it safe to apply pre-emergent & a month later apply fertilizer with higher potassium before it goes dormant?
Central Texas still going strong LOL 100 degrees tomorrow :p Cool front coming in Tuesday so we will see high 80s and lows in 60s. Im ready for next year already LOL
I love the vids !! Watch them all right away! I live in Ny and overseeded 11 days ago . I cut the yard short ,but still my existing lawn is like 6 inches tall and the new bluegrass is 1. Can I mow this weekend? (6 days from now ) and just cut high ? Or do I need to wait ? Ik this is a warm season grass channel but I think this is the same concept
if it's that out of control I would bag the clippings, but yes you for sure can mow - just don't dance on it - get out there and get it done and get off it.
Any plans for Yard Mastery to offer fertilizer that covers 5000 sqft? I don’t have a big lawn or a lot of storage to keep those big bags laying around. For now I go with Jonathan Green for fertilizer.
I've been looking at it and pricing it out. Chances are we can make it work so I hope to release at least one one of the line for spring and add a second later.
LCN Transition Season Friends here!!! Strategies please for fertilizer and weed control for Hybrid Kentucky Blue Grass! I have your app it’s geared for more warm season turf types. Transition zone season schedules/strategies would be awesome from the one and only LCN. I’ve thrown down RGS. Micro green and Stress Blend. Transition season lawns I have issues with dandelion spotted spurge and crab grass.
Im in Louisiana, what do i need to do with my St. Augustine right now. I do have other BS weeds and grass in there I need to get those out and start getting it right for next year.
I would use Celsius weed control right now to kill the weeds. thelawncarenut.com/products/celsius-wg this link is to a simple drop in for 2 gallons of spray mix. Includes surfactant and everything right in the little pack. For fert I recommend you apply this since we are a little late in the season, this will be a really good winterizer and includes some bio-stimulants for rooting and soil health thelawncarenut.com/products/warm-season-winterizer-pack
I'm so selfish.. I was super excited until I saw warm season. It's go time for us cool season people and I was hoping for an overseed or not video. I need to know when to preemerge!
My yard is so out of control I have no idea where to start. It is mostly St. Augustine but there are several other types mixed in here and there and the weeds are just hanging on for dear life(theirs) Central gulf coast of Florida area
I'm in bradenton - right now is a great time to get moving as we are coming out of our Nitrogen ban. The video coming this weekend will be helpful for you
Quick question. I throwed down some Flagship fertilizer last week. I don't know if that was a good call or not been so close to the fall. How long do I have to wait to throw down some Stress Blend Fertilizer? I'm on the southeast Houston area
I live in Columbia, SC and have Zeon Zoysia. I put out LESCO 0-0-7 pre emergent Sept. 15. Have problems (specifically) in wet area every year with POA annua. Any suggestions on prevent for this?
Hey Al, or anyone that can answer this. I just purchased Prostar 70 WG for my FL St. Aug that I have been having a persistent brown patch/large patch problem. My question is and I have read the label numerous times and contacted Do My Own as well; is this a foliar spray (if so do I need to use a surfactant?) or do I need to get it watered into the soil after application? Thanks everyone.
My yard needs help! I live in Northern Florida with St. Augustine grass. I used a Scotts weed-n-feed last Fall and in the Spring. However, over the summer my front yard has been overtaken sedge (?) and brown patches. My backyard has moles and dollar weed. We've had tons of rain. What should I do now?
@@TheLawnCareNut Thanks! I applied some herbicide on the dollar weed which help a little and fungicide on the brown patch with no noticeable improvement. Pictures sent
Thank you for all the great information and taking the time to share with all of us. Quick question, what would you suggest for products on lawns with a well? I'd love to bring our new house's lawn back from the 'dead' but am concerned with the possible issues with leaching into the well. We don't drink the water as we have a dispenser but we still would like to be sure before moving on a lawn plan.
Do you put down Pre E in the spring on Bermuta? I have been putting it down in the fall and not having Poa in the winter but last spring I fought it everywhere?
What variety grass do you have? 24 nitrogen is high anytime. You certainly don't want to use that on warm season grass. If you are trying to boost cool season grass growth that formula is probably ok for slow release. That formula will cause rapid growth which you don't want in warm season grass as it's just about ready to slow down and go dormant in next two months. Rapid growth will not be desirable
@@scottgay8389 Hey Scott thanks for the info. I have zoysia grass - I guess I will save the 24-0-6 bag for next spring that I bought and get the stress blend. Glad I asked. Not sure why the app is still telling me to put down that high of N right now.
Spencer, of you haven't fertilizer by now it's really too late on warm season except a blend like 3-18-18 or similar. That is low in nitrogen to prevent rapid growth but high in potassium and phosphorus which helps build the root system over the winter. I just applied liquid 3-18-18 Sept 19th on my zoysia/ Bermuda mixed. Plan to apply again next week along with promiadine preemergent. 4oz per gallon of 3-18-18 in pump sprayer mixed with pre will do you well. Save the high nitrogen till after greenup in spring. Augusta Georgia area I'm in
@@scottgay8389 I have a 7-0-20 bag I can throw down, you think I would be ok with that? Where did you get the 3-18-18 from? Thanks again for all the help btw!
You can but you need to he watering for sure ahead of the app. Also, if all the other lawns and yours has.not, then you may have a bigger problem to deal with.
I've found straight dithiopyr at Lowes in Florida. It's hit or miss. Just look for active ingredients either prodiamine or dithiopyr and go to HD, Lowes and also local garden centers. One of them will probably have something if you look on the back shelves.
Yes man I’m in Augusta too w Bermuda. Poa annua is the worst. I just did barricade DG 2 weeks ago but I’m scared that big rain we had recently washed much of it, so I just put down a liquid dimension app, wil probably repeat the dimension in early-mid December. If you have Any wisdom to share let me know!
Just my opinion here but I would do pre emergents now and then again in like early Dec, and again in Feb-March (depending on your product). Just let the crabgrass die in the cold, too much effort to physically remove and spraying may kill it but the grass might not spread to cover the spots in time. If you have post emergent it would be best to use that when they are young and coming up early in the growing season, though hopefully with the pre emergent that would be minimal
How many subs do we need to get you for you to move to a place without fert blackout haha. Thanks for the video I’ve been looking forward to this one for a wile. Alabama Bermuda.

@@TheLawnCareNut Thank you, one more question. can the liquid prodiamine be applied early morning when grass is wet from dew and can you overspray with Image Southern Lawn weed killer
@@marcnunes6429 dew is not enough to water in the prodiamine - if you apply and there is dew on the ground that is good but you should still hit it with 1/2" of water to gt it to the soil. You could spray post emergent weed killer as needed right after it's watered in
@@TheLawnCareNut I appreciate all of your time in responding to all of our posted questions. How much water is too much. you mention water in with 1/2".. I applied prodiamine wdg 65 this past weekend on saturday.. since then we have received probably on the high side of 3" of rain between sunday and today. is that going to damage the application where i would need to consider another application? thank you again.

I started mowing this past season myself and allowing it to grow to 2.5-3” which I feel is open reason it has maintained its color and is fighting off the weeds. Once I move in this fall, I’d like to take it to the next level. Even though its only 75-80% Zoysia I’d like to treat it as if it were 100% in hope that one day it will get there. Any tips and tricks will be most appreciated. Thank you in advance.
First off, that surely is a VERY long island because I have talked to a lot of folks there over the years. I have also talked to quite a few who have zoysia. My assumption is that it was advertised in the Parade Magazine back in the 80s and 90s and started by plugs. That's why you are seeing it spread now to 80-90%. There are a lot of lawns outside of Chicago that have this same thing going on. Anyway, what is going to happen is the strengths of zoysia will continue to reveal themselves - once you start feeding it, it will get so strong it will destroy even more of the weeds all on its own. It will thicken up greatly. The challenge is that it's probably not going to green up until May when everyone else around you greens up in late March. You will still want to apply pre-emergent in spring when soil temps cross 55F, even if the zoysia is dormant. I'd use Celsius as my primary weed control if it's allowed in your state. Fert every 4 weeks starting as soon as it greens up in spring.
@@TheLawnCareNut a further question of I may?
What would you recommend for a final seasonal mowing height for fall / winter? Would you recommend de-thatching in the fall or spring? Is it possible to find pre-emergent and or fertilizer over the counter that might work for spring? Any recommendations for winter applications.
I appreciate your response.
Allyn! Any ideas on how to transition from Bahia to a different grass? (New to central florida) I am not liking the Bahia sod they put down, and want a better grass. What do you think??
Best to just rent a sod cutter and get it out that way, then sod your new lawn on top . St Aug and Zoysia can easily outperform any stragglers that remain.
Is it more beneficial and cost effective to DIY lawn care using yard mastery program or just hiring a company to do it?? I’m thinking the start up would cost more (getting the equipment,supplies, material)
Also does the app tell you when to apply weed controls, insecticide, fungicide? Or is that just an if applicable situation? Thank you for taking time out to respond if you see this comment!
In MT...been throwing down the micros but no fert for probably 3 months. One place in yard not looking too good despite so threw down the stress blend (recommended by soil test last spring) AND some double dark so looking forward to the next week or two really popping. We had a really hot summer with little rain. Had a 390$ water bill in August 😬
Congrats on the epic water bill lol. I've been there too. I know you are getting some rain help now so you should be seeing some nice recovery quick.
I am so happy I stumbled onto your channel ! Awesome information ! We are currently building a new place in the Port Charlotte area.. What would you put down for grass for a brand new yard.. Flora tam, Bemuda or Zoysia.. I do like a nice green yard but dont want to be a slave to it. Whats your opinion ? Thank you !
Great video! I live in Central Fl and have St. Augustine grass, do you think it’s a good time to level my lawn?
I'm in VA transition zone with St Augustine, yard is dormant pretty much from Oct through May. Hate the look. Thoughts on overseeding with annual rye? Thanks for your time
Wow, this app is a Godsend, just what I needed!
I'm glad you like it, thank you!
I’m located in Orlando Fl so still warm temps and forecast shows around 85 degrees with minimal rain for the next 10 days. I still have some Flagship I’d like to finish off…would it be ok to still use flagship for this next application? I have irrigation so plan to still give it plenty of water
Thank you for the video. Quick question please. I have Zoysia grass on my front yard and Centipede in the back and I'm getting invaded by a bunch of mushrooms during this time of the year. I'm located in the transition zone area (NC). I hear it's a good sign I guess, but it just don't look good. Any way to prevent this? Thanks again!
Thanks for the incredible content and all that you do!
Thank you !
What’s the best way to combine a fertilizer and other product (lime, pre-emergent, milky spore, etc) in the same hopper? Can it be done to save time?
Allyn, just purchased your backpack sprayer and am looking forward to using it. Quick question: my bermuda sod (55 pallets) is going to be installed in a couple of weeks, at my new house (soil test shows 7.8 PH). I am going to spray the GreenePop on the soil before the sod is laid, and then RGS after it's laid. I know I can't put any preemergent on it, I just wondered if there was anything I could do, Fall fungicides, etc., to assist in a quick response for next Spring. Thanks!
Your pH is a little high so I would for sure start working on that once the sod is rooted. Your coming to the end of the season so also make a plan to continue moving the pH starting in the spring.
I still gota mow 3 days a week to keep it perfect out here in south Daytona
For Orlando, should I apply 24-0-6 Flagship Fertilizer or 7-0-20 Stress Blend Now? Thank you!
I have a ST. Augustine Floratam
Hi we are new to watching your channel and my wife and I have a question... in a video we saw you using a 3 in 1 lawn weed and feed. Now does that help new grass grow or do we need to have grass seed too? And in what order and waiting periods between if needed. Thanks, Deepa and Jared(and little Daxton too).
South Florida summer okay to spray liquid iron in November?
Thank you Allyn for the great content. Would like to know should I apply pre emergent if I have some bare spots for my Bermuda lawn? Will the PreE stop the Bermuda from growing back into the bare spot? Thanks.
Apply PreE on every part of your turf where you don't want any weeds to grow back, especially in bare spots. The PreE will not stop your Bermuda from growing or spreading into the bare spots. It'll only stop the weeds which will allow the Bermuda's runners to move in without interference.
Definitely apply pre-emergent! The bermuda might feel a little bit but it will grow and you dont want the weeds to compete with your bermuda.
I live in south Florida any suggestions on fertilizer for the fall? Any specific schedule?
I'll be making content all through the winter but for now, the 7-0-20 Stress Blend is a good choice or if you have been on a nitrogen ban like me, I'm going Flagship right out of the gates.
Bought this house recently & has St Augustine. Yard looks great! Question is, is that is it safe to apply pre-emergent & a month later apply fertilizer with higher potassium before it goes dormant?
Yes if you follow my plan you can do them pretty much at the same time if you want or spread them out. it's up to you.
The best tips as always Allyn
thanks bro!
@The Lawn Care Nut, will either of these pre-emergent prevent Virginia buttonweed? I have been fighting this all summer this year here in south Texas
Pre emergent will not kill VB. Try Celsius as Post emergent. It should work after 1 or 2 applications.
@@oliver.79 Would it be better for me to start using this next season?
No. I would start now anyway. VB is a tough weed to treat. The winter will not kill it in South TX.
Central Texas still going strong LOL 100 degrees tomorrow :p Cool front coming in Tuesday so we will see high 80s and lows in 60s. Im ready for next year already LOL
Me too !
I love the vids !! Watch them all right away! I live in Ny and overseeded 11 days ago . I cut the yard short ,but still my existing lawn is like 6 inches tall and the new bluegrass is 1. Can I mow this weekend? (6 days from now ) and just cut high ? Or do I need to wait ? Ik this is a warm season grass channel but I think this is the same concept
if it's that out of control I would bag the clippings, but yes you for sure can mow - just don't dance on it - get out there and get it done and get off it.
Any plans for Yard Mastery to offer fertilizer that covers 5000 sqft? I don’t have a big lawn or a lot of storage to keep those big bags laying around. For now I go with Jonathan Green for fertilizer.
I've been looking at it and pricing it out. Chances are we can make it work so I hope to release at least one one of the line for spring and add a second later.
LCN Transition Season Friends here!!! Strategies please for fertilizer and weed control for Hybrid Kentucky Blue Grass! I have your app it’s geared for more warm season turf types. Transition zone season schedules/strategies would be awesome from the one and only LCN. I’ve thrown down RGS. Micro green and Stress Blend. Transition season lawns I have issues with dandelion spotted spurge and crab grass.
Im in Louisiana, what do i need to do with my St. Augustine right now. I do have other BS weeds and grass in there I need to get those out and start getting it right for next year.
I would use Celsius weed control right now to kill the weeds. thelawncarenut.com/products/celsius-wg this link is to a simple drop in for 2 gallons of spray mix. Includes surfactant and everything right in the little pack. For fert I recommend you apply this since we are a little late in the season, this will be a really good winterizer and includes some bio-stimulants for rooting and soil health thelawncarenut.com/products/warm-season-winterizer-pack
I'm so selfish.. I was super excited until I saw warm season. It's go time for us cool season people and I was hoping for an overseed or not video. I need to know when to preemerge!
those tips are going out in email this tuesday subscribe here thelawncarenut.com/pages/lcn-newsletter
@@TheLawnCareNut Already a subscriber! I'll be patiently waiting. Thanks Allyn!
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...............LCN BAT SIGNAL.............BAHIAAAAAAAAAAAAA GRASSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
Haven't heard that in a bit!
Should I treat carpet grass like centipede grass?
My yard is so out of control I have no idea where to start. It is mostly St. Augustine but there are several other types mixed in here and there and the weeds are just hanging on for dear life(theirs) Central gulf coast of Florida area
I'm in bradenton - right now is a great time to get moving as we are coming out of our Nitrogen ban. The video coming this weekend will be helpful for you
Al, we gotta get yous some organization over there in that garage of yours. 😂
ha ha I know, there is a garage sale coming up and I plan to dump a bunch of stuff
@@TheLawnCareNut except no one will buy when they’re listed for 1000% above market since a celebrity owned them lol
Should I use prodiamine and dithiopyr ? Or one or the other located in Dallas texas
just choose one or the other. They both work the same.
So the fungicides hurt the mycorrhizae?
Quick question. I throwed down some Flagship fertilizer last week. I don't know if that was a good call or not been so close to the fall. How long do I have to wait to throw down some Stress Blend Fertilizer? I'm on the southeast Houston area
Wait a good 5 weeks. Then stress blend.
Definitely get the app. Very helpful.
Thanks Randy 👍
Question for anyone should you mow cool grass shorter in the fall and bag or mulch?
Bag only if it clumps
Sorry one more question… do you mow it shorter or keep it same length through out the summer???
I live in Columbia, SC and have Zeon Zoysia. I put out LESCO 0-0-7 pre emergent Sept. 15.
Have problems (specifically) in wet area every year with POA annua.
Any suggestions on prevent for this?
Hey Al, or anyone that can answer this. I just purchased Prostar 70 WG for my FL St. Aug that I have been having a persistent brown patch/large patch problem. My question is and I have read the label numerous times and contacted Do My Own as well; is this a foliar spray (if so do I need to use a surfactant?) or do I need to get it watered into the soil after application?
Thanks everyone.
apply it and let it dry. You can water the day after 1/2" - no surfactant or anything like that needed.
@@TheLawnCareNut Awesome, thank you sir!
My yard needs help! I live in Northern Florida with St. Augustine grass. I used a Scotts weed-n-feed last Fall and in the Spring. However, over the summer my front yard has been overtaken sedge (?) and brown patches. My backyard has moles and dollar weed. We've had tons of rain. What should I do now?
Send me pics. Closeup and far back allyn@thelawncarenut.com
@@TheLawnCareNut Thanks! I applied some herbicide on the dollar weed which help a little and fungicide on the brown patch with no noticeable improvement. Pictures sent
Can I overseed Bahia now? Or should I wait u til spring comes? Thank you sir!
Best to overseed Bahia in very early summer.
@@TheLawnCareNut thank you!
Thank you for all the great information and taking the time to share with all of us. Quick question, what would you suggest for products on lawns with a well? I'd love to bring our new house's lawn back from the 'dead' but am concerned with the possible issues with leaching into the well. We don't drink the water as we have a dispenser but we still would like to be sure before moving on a lawn plan.
Do you still have zoysia? How and when should I level it
Do you put down Pre E in the spring on Bermuta? I have been putting it down in the fall and not having Poa in the winter but last spring I fought it everywhere?
I started buying my lawn products from you. It seems they are a better value than what I was buying.
Good video/info AL
thanks bro!!
Hi Allyn, I live in transition zone. I just reseed and while detaching, noticed brown moths. What can I use to control and when to apply? Thanks..
I would not worry about moths this late in the season. Just concentrate on growing you seed in before winter and you should be fine.
Kill all the things!!! (Smdh)
How do I know what type of Grass my lawn is 🤔😀 I am In Toronto Canada
For sure you have cool season grass. That's really all you need to know to move forward!
yard mastery app is telling me to throw down 24-0-6 this week. I live in GA, is that still ok?
Same question for me in Lee county FL
What variety grass do you have?
24 nitrogen is high anytime. You certainly don't want to use that on warm season grass.
If you are trying to boost cool season grass growth that formula is probably ok for slow release.
That formula will cause rapid growth which you don't want in warm season grass as it's just about ready to slow down and go dormant in next two months. Rapid growth will not be desirable
@@scottgay8389 Hey Scott thanks for the info. I have zoysia grass - I guess I will save the 24-0-6 bag for next spring that I bought and get the stress blend. Glad I asked. Not sure why the app is still telling me to put down that high of N right now.
Spencer, of you haven't fertilizer by now it's really too late on warm season except a blend like 3-18-18 or similar. That is low in nitrogen to prevent rapid growth but high in potassium and phosphorus which helps build the root system over the winter. I just applied liquid 3-18-18 Sept 19th on my zoysia/ Bermuda mixed.
Plan to apply again next week along with promiadine preemergent.
4oz per gallon of 3-18-18 in pump sprayer mixed with pre will do you well.
Save the high nitrogen till after greenup in spring.
Augusta Georgia area I'm in
@@scottgay8389 I have a 7-0-20 bag I can throw down, you think I would be ok with that? Where did you get the 3-18-18 from? Thanks again for all the help btw!
Can I apply Air8 even if my grass is still dormant from the summer draught we had hear in the PNW
You can but you need to he watering for sure ahead of the app. Also, if all the other lawns and yours has.not, then you may have a bigger problem to deal with.
Question, can i put pre emergint on my st aug sod i installed this spring? Wanted to do a fall and spring split treatment. Glandular & spray. Thanks
you should be fine since we have come through this rainy season, I'm sure your roots are really well established and you'll be good.
What can you do to grow grass again I put too much weed control.
Any suggestions for pre-emergent found on big box stores that actually works for Bermuda and st agustine?
I've found straight dithiopyr at Lowes in Florida. It's hit or miss. Just look for active ingredients either prodiamine or dithiopyr and go to HD, Lowes and also local garden centers. One of them will probably have something if you look on the back shelves.
What was the other/new chemical for your bulletproof strategy?
I was using Clearys3336 in the spring against gray leaf spot.
@@TheLawnCareNut Thank you
I want to put Diphothyr down in mid October. Is this the most optimal time to apply it for a zone 8a ?
Mid Oct would be fine for you.
Awesome content!!
thank you!
So is this how I care for my crabgrass here in the Midwest? 🤗 Love ya Al 😘
Great info!
I'm interested in fall and winter care for Bermuda. Texas
I’m in Augusta Ga and I throw down Pre-Emergent on Sep.1 and again split apps on Halloween to prevent the poa it’s a monster for me!!!!!
Yes man I’m in Augusta too w Bermuda. Poa annua is the worst. I just did barricade DG 2 weeks ago but I’m scared that big rain we had recently washed much of it, so I just put down a liquid dimension app, wil probably repeat the dimension in early-mid December. If you have Any wisdom to share let me know!
@@Chyllbacca no apply again on Halloween in this area not December!!!!! Barricade pre-emergent
@@KDubb107 okay I’ll try it, thanks
I ended up putting barricade down again today because the temps are about to drop here. So did it a bit earlier but we’ll see how it goes
Can I throw down stress blend and pre-emergent (granular or wdg) on the same day?
Yes you sure can, water it all on together.
@@TheLawnCareNut Thanks and Happy Fall!
What should I do about crabgrass. I’m in South Carolina.
Just my opinion here but I would do pre emergents now and then again in like early Dec, and again in Feb-March (depending on your product). Just let the crabgrass die in the cold, too much effort to physically remove and spraying may kill it but the grass might not spread to cover the spots in time. If you have post emergent it would be best to use that when they are young and coming up early in the growing season, though hopefully with the pre emergent that would be minimal
How many subs do we need to get you for you to move to a place without fert blackout haha. Thanks for the video I’ve been looking forward to this one for a wile. Alabama Bermuda.
I love it here so much - I will never leave. Maybe one day I'll get some land inland where there are not restrictions and then I can still throw down.

This rain keeping my grass green
You mention as you approach 70 degrees. Does that mean 70 or below 75
Anywhere within 2 weeks of the day. You don't have to hit it perfectly, just in the range. Being a couple weeks early is ok.
@@TheLawnCareNut Thank you, one more question. can the liquid prodiamine be applied early morning when grass is wet from dew and can you overspray with Image Southern Lawn weed killer
@@marcnunes6429 dew is not enough to water in the prodiamine - if you apply and there is dew on the ground that is good but you should still hit it with 1/2" of water to gt it to the soil. You could spray post emergent weed killer as needed right after it's watered in
@@TheLawnCareNut I appreciate all of your time in responding to all of our posted questions. How much water is too much. you mention water in with 1/2".. I applied prodiamine wdg 65 this past weekend on saturday.. since then we have received probably on the high side of 3" of rain between sunday and today. is that going to damage the application where i would need to consider another application? thank you again.

I only have a 5,000 sq.ft. lawn and your stress blend bag covers 15,000 sq.ft. Will this product last me months after opening?
I have a smaller yard as well and use the bags several times throughout the year. have not had any issues. I just keep them sealed up as best as possible and dry in my garage when not in use.
All good, reclose the bag, keep it dry. Some people put it in buckets with tops too.
