God bless you. Thank you for your constant education. You are a true example of love thy neighbor. With your academy education, I cant wait to see my yard pop next year :)
Watching for these bermudagrass turf fields. I have a chance to get a sports field with three softball fields on it. That would take my business to the next level. Thanks for sharing Pete.
I like that 46-0-0. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel on ths project. especially with the help of the irrigation system. A fun project. Will be following this. Man that is a sweet machine.
I can't help but to grin when you were talking about the Ventrac. It's a cool machine, very versatile. I wish you would have taken an aerial shot of you spraying the "double-dark" application of GCF products. I've done some heavy apps on mine and my grass was still dark 3 days later. I credit all of the NEX-T products for the success that I had when I had a 60% winter kill of my bermuda renovation last year.
No, it was actually a phrase that Allyn Hane coined for doing a heavy application of Humic 12 on his lawn, which he thought he originated, but he actually heard it from Jake The Lawn Kid years prior. In May, my heavy app was: AIR-8 - 6 oz/M, Humic 12 - 12 oz/M, RGS - 6 oz/M, GreenePunch - 16 oz/M and FEature (for iron) at 2oz/M. My yard was dark from the humic, then held beautiful green for a month. I've been doing bi-weekly AIR-8, Humic 12 and RGS applications, but not at that heavy rate. That was just to kick the green-up into overdrive. It worked like a charm. I'll send you some pictures via email.
Oh man the pun ... "a butt load of Milorganite" this pun was brought to you by the people of Milwaukee, WI and Pete from GCI turf. Love this content keep it up! I can't wait to see how the rehab goes, I just went and bought my first 2 bags of Milorganite today and put it down after manually thatching and having my 6 year old help me cleanup the thatch. Too bad the fescue didn't work out because I love good tall fescue or kentucky bluegrass.
Slinging these videos out like a BOSS! I hope you have a great week, PETE. The heat finally broke over here; only supposed to be 95ish for the next week or so!
GCI Turf Services right on bro! I have an idea to try and help you get more out of these videos. I will shoot you an email sometime this week with some ideas.
Gonna be interesting to see how the dominant Bermuda takes off with all that your throwing at it. I'd like a video to see that soil come back in a week, see the paul bunyon screwdriver test before and after air8, great video tho bringing a soccer back to life!
GCI :lovin your new toys I need one of them spreaders I have a average size home 2 lots but I’ll admit that would be so much more fun fertilizing if I had me a machine like that ..... I’ll admit it I’m alittle jealous lol god bless keep making kool vids
This project is a good one! Sorta doing same on 100 sqft weed patch with a yard fork, got about 10 ft done in an hour, the aerovator would take 2 seconds to do it all. Too bad no room in my garage for aerovator, it's a cool machine.
Nice work! I love when you bring turf back to a thriving stage I can see this is your passion. Where are you getting Milo from ? No store in my area in PA has Milo. I was on vacation in VA last week and I stopped at a Home-depot store and they only had 8 bags.How Do I mix urea in my 4 gallon sprayer?

for a normal cool season lawn do you recommend aerating after applying fert & over-seed in the fall? or doing it before? maybe you talk about it in your cool season academy program - which I'm thinking I'm going to join
Why not just come back 30 days later with the ammonium sulfate vs milo? Seems a lot cheaper. And why not do a round of msm or 3way over the tribute? Might save some $
That's a "butt load of Milorganite!" Just imagine putting that down on that soccer field by hand with a manual spreader. :-O Pete, I may not own a lawn care company or have a huge yard that could "justify" having the fancier equipment to take care of the yard, but it never hurts to dream. :-) Nice video, Pete. Looking for the follow up video(s).
Love watching you troubleshoot/work through projects like this. Out of curiousity, as a self professed Milo newbie, why the choice of Milo for a project this scale vs something you know well?
I would like to hear your recommendation for getting rid of creeping Charlie or ground ivy. It's the only thing in my turf that I haven't been able to control. Love your videos Pete. God bless. Thanks.
Great video Pete. Wow , 1,000 lbs of milo & 150 lbs of 46-0-0 on 50,000 sqft. That was 2.69 lbs of N per 1,000 sqft. Why not just apply Screaming Green 16-2-3?
Pete can you please tell me where you get that kind of milo I got the regular stuff from home depot that Allyn hane uses. But I’ve never seen what you got
I bet you could have thatched those plugs right out of the ground after the break up !! Are you going to be cutting the field also. I would be curious about your cutting height in your area. I can not seem to get Bermuda any shorter then 3". The sun seems to burn the grass any shorter :( Florida)
I believe he said he was going to put some Tribute Total on it. The bermuda will smother it with its lateral growth and cutting it short will eventually take care of most of it.
Pete = just so you know, we can't get Milorganite in Richmond, VA. I was lucky enough to get some about 2 months ago but zip, zero, nada since then. I just got back from Home Depot and they said 0 in whole area. So... Scotts for me!
Hey Pete, im not sure if you are aware of this but there are sponsored ads just above the title of this video and they are trying to sell your viewers 3 bags of milo for $250 !!! Thats crazy and outright robbery! I know its not your choice of ads but just hope your viewers know that 15 bucks a bag at Lowes or tractor supply.
Someone has some money to burn! That Tribute Total is like $400 for 6 oz wtf? I was going to throw some down on my yard till I looked up buying some holy crizap
Michael Amurgis Menards and farm and fleet have it by me. I have always bought what I need for the season as soon as it comes in late winter. Also, if you live near a big city, they usually have it cause the don't feet concrete jungles!!
Still waiting for someone to make a 10-10-10 "balanced" fertilizer with all the macro's and micro's in it. Tired of all these so called fertilizers that only have say two ingredients. Your lawn is missing out on a lot of other nutrients.
This is the fun part of the business. I wish I had more “projects” like this.
You are exactly doing the projects with the same steps I’m dreaming about when driving about and seeing my own business property!
God bless you. Thank you for your constant education. You are a true example of love thy neighbor. With your academy education, I cant wait to see my yard pop next year :)
Thanks Pete thats 2 warm season projects for us creepy grass lawn guys. Can't wait too see where this goes!!
milorganite will bring any lawn back to life,,a friend of mines is living proof,,great video,,load it up,,,
You said it, that 46-0-0 and Bermuda is a match made in heaven.
jim davidson amen to that! Keep the blades sharp for sure! 😂😂
Love to see that you’re always prepared, even during work on an empty sports field.

Did you ever take on the work? How are you doing?

Methodical2 I use it on my Bermuda too. Keep blades sharp. Lol 😂

ColonelK0rn sweet. What’s a double dark application? Is that code for something?
No, it was actually a phrase that Allyn Hane coined for doing a heavy application of Humic 12 on his lawn, which he thought he originated, but he actually heard it from Jake The Lawn Kid years prior.

Awesome to see what happens when done right. Looking forward to ssi g updates on impact of these applications.
Don’t wait a month to show us. Give us a lil update every time you go to that property. We like seeing progress. Thanks
Well done man. I am proud to say I use the same aerator on my Jacobsen 4x4 with dump bed. I need one of those riding spreaders though. Very cool!
This video is awesome. Thanks for blessing us with your knowledge Pete. Can't wait for the follow up video
Slinging these videos out like a BOSS! I hope you have a great week, PETE. The heat finally broke over here; only supposed to be 95ish for the next week or so!
nice getting better i see....bro!!! I have like 6-7 vids already filmed and edited just waiting to post!! whoop whoop

Grass seed
Seeding Equipment
Manifold build
Setting up sprinklers

What a project. Fast fwd 1 month pls!
Oh man, your analogy of the sprinkler head vs the aerovator just cracked me up. lmbo
Superman!!!
Can’t wait to see the Bermuda progress!
Gonna be interesting to see how the dominant Bermuda takes off with all that your throwing at it. I'd like a video to see that soil come back in a week, see the paul bunyon screwdriver test before and after air8, great video tho bringing a soccer back to life!
Great videos Pete !
That Ventrac tractor looks like a very good investment ;)
Nice too learn from the master
GCI :lovin your new toys I need one of them spreaders I have a average size home 2 lots but I’ll admit that would be so much more fun fertilizing if I had me a machine like that ..... I’ll admit it I’m alittle jealous lol god bless keep making kool vids
Dude! That's quite project! Man, I love that aerovator! Look forward to seeing the results of all that 'goodness'. Take care, brother
I love watching the aera vator in slow motion!
Thanks for the Bermuda video man. If you get a moment can you link the product used for killing the fescue?
What is micro green? All i have is Bermuda. Love it! Great video!
This project is a good one!
Sorta doing same on 100 sqft weed patch with a yard fork, got about 10 ft done in an hour, the aerovator would take 2 seconds to do it all. Too bad no room in my garage for aerovator, it's a cool machine.
Can’t wait to see this in a month. That Bermuda is going to go hog wild!
Cant wait to see the follow up to this video, to see difference.
Great video as always !
Nice work! I love when you bring turf back to a thriving stage I can see this is your passion. Where are you getting Milo from ? No store in my area in PA has Milo. I was on vacation in VA last week and I stopped at a Home-depot store and they only had 8 bags.How Do I mix urea in my 4 gallon sprayer?
Thank you so much for this video!!
Lotta stuff involved in bringing back a field that size... what drone do u use for youre aerial shots. It has really good video quality
DJI Phantom 4 PRO

for a normal cool season lawn do you recommend aerating after applying fert & over-seed in the fall? or doing it before? maybe you talk about it in your cool season academy program - which I'm thinking I'm going to join
this order - 1 - fert 2 - plug 3 - seed
Thanks again Pete for another cool video.I may not watch the equipment video if do I'll go out and buy something.(I'll be watching)
ha ha
I can't wait for this one!
Dang brother I wanted to see it get done, good video
Why not just come back 30 days later with the ammonium sulfate vs milo? Seems a lot cheaper. And why not do a round of msm or 3way over the tribute? Might save some $
Hey bro how would u push tall fescue get that growth going on none established yard
Got to love that equipment!
That's a "butt load of Milorganite!" Just imagine putting that down on that soccer field by hand with a manual spreader. :-O
Pete, I may not own a lawn care company or have a huge yard that could "justify" having the fancier equipment to take care of the yard, but it never hurts to dream. :-)
Nice video, Pete. Looking for the follow up video(s).
yes sir
I do my 1 acre lawn with a hand spreader....2 years later half the yard has started LOL!!!! I need to buy a real spreader.
Is it green yet
love this guy
Love watching you troubleshoot/work through projects like this.
Out of curiousity, as a self professed Milo newbie, why the choice of Milo for a project this scale vs something you know well?
Hi pete i just put some IRONITE 1.0.1. DOWN PLUS SOME WEED KILLER MY QUESTION TO YOU IS CAN I PUT DOWN MILO NOW TO MY FESCUE PLEASE RESPOND
Lots of fun!!
I would like to hear your recommendation for getting rid of creeping Charlie or ground ivy. It's the only thing in my turf that I haven't been able to control. Love your videos Pete. God bless. Thanks.
Gene New dismiss should do it.
Q4 plus. The creeping charlie is the hardest weed ive found so far to get rid of. The Q4 plus helped. Isnt cheap tho. 200 for a gal!!
Yea! Bermuda rocks!!!!!
Bermuda sucks....It is a weed!
Sounds like you smoke da weed bro!
thanks, man. now I have hope
I myself would've used a triple 10 or 12. But I like Milo
Great video Pete.
Wow , 1,000 lbs of milo & 150 lbs of 46-0-0 on 50,000 sqft. That was 2.69 lbs of N per 1,000 sqft.
Why not just apply Screaming Green 16-2-3?
Mr Efficiency because of the iron content? Because it’s an organic fertilizer vs a synthetic
Absorbs differently
If you could only use one fertilizer, would you use Milorganite, GreenePunch(by NEXT), or RGS(also by NEXT)?
RGS is not fertilizer. It would depend if you were set up to spray or not. If so use the 18-0-1 if not use the milo
Thank you.
Pete can you please tell me where you get that kind of milo I got the regular stuff from home depot that Allyn hane uses. But I’ve never seen what you got
I bet you could have thatched those plugs right out of the ground after the break up !! Are you going to be cutting the field also. I would be curious about your cutting height in your area. I can not seem to get Bermuda any shorter then 3". The sun seems to burn the grass any shorter :( Florida)
we do not mow it
I would use Primo on it if you want to get it to spread. Make it grow horizontal instead of vertical..
yep but is not in their budget
Why would someone plug fescue?
Are you doing anything to get rid of the fescue or will the bermuda choke it out?
I believe he said he was going to put some Tribute Total on it. The bermuda will smother it with its lateral growth and cutting it short will eventually take care of most of it.
Tribute Total will wipe out the fescue.
Pete = just so you know, we can't get Milorganite in Richmond, VA. I was lucky enough to get some about 2 months ago but zip, zero, nada since then. I just got back from Home Depot and they said 0 in whole area. So... Scotts for me!
Jay Firebaugh Order it on Amazon. Get it delivered for free.
Hey Pete, what is that piece of equipment that you're using to spread the milo and the one you're spraying with?
Permagreen sprayer spreader great machine
So its the same machine?
yep permagreen
You left out something important...is that common Bermuda or hybrid improved Bermuda?
Steve Willey Common.
common
He mentioned it was common, you must’ve missed it. Around 1:45 secs check it out
Jake Gump I told Pete that was my bad. I didn 't understand cultivating common over hybrid.
Updates on this lawn right now?
Do you like kentucky blue grass?
Never had the chance to grow it but thats gonna change soon
With how much invasive bermuda that I have in my yard, and it keeps spreading, Im seriously considering letting it take over.
No wonder there has been a Milorganite shortage!
How do you get rid of Bermuda?
pylex or round up
Ahhhhh you can do the same thing with fescue... psssf!!
From Michigan btw
And second question...reel or rotary mower?
koomo801 Bermuda does so much better even just with a pull behind hand me down one . Spreads faster and balls
will roll a lot better .
I have no clue what they mow it with
If you put studs in the tires of your spreader you would have a two in one almost.
Hey Pete, im not sure if you are aware of this but there are sponsored ads just above the title of this video and they are trying to sell your viewers 3 bags of milo for $250 !!! Thats crazy and outright robbery! I know its not your choice of ads but just hope your viewers know that 15 bucks a bag at Lowes or tractor supply.
Who does have access to an areovator? I have been searching and I cannot find anyone even offering this as a service.
Subbed!
🚜🚜🚜🙌🙌🙌🙌
Dang bud I just joined today and your sprayer nozzle is out of stock. Getting a late start I know.
#GetYourSoccerFieldRight
Just in case you gotta feign an injury and roll around on the lawn a while.
Sorry Pete....listened to video again and you cleary stated it was common bermuda. My bad!
No worries bro
Where the update video
👍
I can’t find milo anywhere.
Arock Hobama Amazon w/ free shipping.
You're right. It's a big mess. Cant wait to see the results. Can you expand your business to Michigan so I can work for you? lol
“Don’t do this to your fescue”
Listen to Pete!
yeah PLEASE don't!!1 LOL
Man that’s a lot of 💩🤣 your just having a ball with that new tractor. Are you gonna put a PGR on the field?👍🏻
no sir was not in their budget
No wonder there's a milorganite shortage!
Someone has some money to burn! That Tribute Total is like $400 for 6 oz wtf? I was going to throw some down on my yard till I looked up buying some holy crizap
allthingshigh yeah same here. But not at $400 for 6oz
Milo sold out in area. I'm literally up sh**'s creek! lol
Michael Amurgis Menards and farm and fleet have it by me. I have always bought what I need for the season as soon as it comes in late winter.
Also, if you live near a big city, they usually have it cause the don't feet concrete jungles!!
Capt Murf yeah, I just got more requests this year than ever so I just flat ran out!
Michael Amurgis that's an amazing problem
Capt Murf you're right there are definitely worse problems lol
He said butt load of milorganite. 😂🤣😂🤣😂
yeah LOL was waiting on someone to catch that Ha Ha
Don't do this...my gosh... Don't do this.
1000 lbs of milorganite....no wonder there's a shortage. haha
Don't plant fescue
The Grass looks horrible lol
You can all my garbage Bermuda weed
