    My lawn stands very little chance. I have 15,000 sq in HEAVY shade, transition zone, terrible clay, no irrigation, and I'm lazy. With your tutorage I've managed to have a fair lawn most years. Thank you.

    Dang I just got called out. I live in Florida so we are now in the upper 80's to low 90's daily. I got excited to water and get going and just put down some Turf Builder Triple Action 2 days ago. You live and learn though. I still have no clue how often to water right now with these temps but I'll give those videos you mentioned a watch! I'm new to caring about my lawn and you are my favorite lawn guy to watch. Great content my friend!

    I might have to get that exact shirt from ya 👍
    mowed one notch higher already yesterday....but my buddy rented a lift basket('cherry picker'? or whatever you call them, but he used it to take down a very tall thin tree that was damaged in his yard) and I gave him $100 yesterday to drive it over and trim the top off of my ugliest tree that was damaged years ago(back then, I was able to trim most of it myself, but the wife wouldn't let me get the last awkward largest tallest straight up part which still had a large broken section off it stuck up there) so anyway now I have *large ruts* in my biggest north parkway strip, which I was fine with because that one is the next I want to relevel and lower slightly - and this now is a great excuse to do it, and bring the soil level down to or even a little below the sidewalk - some of it I had already done a bit of last year along the weedy curb, but missed the fall reseeding window in that area; so if this spring I can take it more seriously(without killing all the existing Rye grass) and use the same 'cover crop' technique just to get something growing in any bare dirt which not much of lives all the way thru summer, it should be good to do a final smoothing and proper overseed end of summer/fall with the Fescue that I've switched to on the other parkway strips .... now I just have to process all the downed branches, cause as cool as it is to have a great neighbor that will help out like that, he kinda went a little nuts and cut much more than I had envisioned

    Awesome video as always Brian. When would you say is the best time to BUY seed? I'm planning on overseeding next fall, so I'm trying to find out when if ever the prices are lower.

    Howdy, just found your videos a couple days ago. I live in Florida and have a centipede lawn. Which one of your videos (because you have a lot) should I watch? Thank you Sir.

    • @TurfMechanic
      @TurfMechanic  23 дня назад +1

      I'd hate to turn you away but I have only one video on the channel with emphasis on Centipede. I grew from seed for a few months in containers a few years ago. The experiment wasn't one of my best but you can see the video here: ruclips.net/video/Kk3y1wd3RhE/видео.html - What I do know though is that it requires way less fertilizer than St Aug which you will find all over the place in FL and it's going to be a grass that requires a lot less time, effort, and product to manage. Since you are in FL you don't have to worry about frost because freezing weather will kill the grass for good but I have to put that in there for others that may read this down the road. I am not an expert in Centipede although I was thinking about putting a patch of it in where I live now just for the fun of it and to learn more about it. Currently I run a pot (container) of it in my front yard, it goes into drought stress much faster than my pots of St Aug, Bermuda, and Buffalo so in periods of no rain you'll have to make sure to irrigate it a bit more frequently or deeply.

    When you do a half rate of a fertilizer like milorganite are you just setting the spreader at a lower number? Thanks

    Brian I have a new puppy and I used to use pro diamine but cannot any longer. What can I use with my new Goldedoodle that will not harm him because he tends to eat the grass sometimes. Thank you!

    Hey Brian. Can you do a video on primary (npk) and secondary nutrients (iron, manganese, magnesium, CA, etc) that doesn't promote or push growth. I want to have a year where I don't put any nitrogen down at all and just rely on slow growth nutrients. I know nitrogen drives the bus, but too much nitrogen is driving all the other nutrients out of the lawn.

    Have read that BioChar is effective in clay soil. Would you agree and is this true for all "bio" products?

    • @heathenalchemist
      @heathenalchemist Год назад

      Grubs are an ugly white insect that lives under the grass. They eat the roots of your grass, which causes it to turn yellow. Eventually, you have bald spots all over the yard and grass will not grow back.

    I have the best yard in the neighborhood. I have my own system and believe me it’s NOTHING you’re doing. My system is extremely simple. I have 10-12 people a year knock on my door and ask how I do it. Just had one on Tuesday 🤷🏻‍♂️

    How is my lawn significantly better than this dude's lawn who has a lawn channel on RUclips? 😂

    • @TurfMechanic
      @TurfMechanic  Год назад +4

      Lol, you should see my back yard! It's even worse! 😆 for you and anyone else wondering, I moved into this house over the off season and decided I'd take the gradual route to fix it rather than doing a burn and seed approach. More interesting to fix a bad lawn than just kill, level, and reseed.

      Always a good question, this video was made right after I moved into this house. I fixed the lawn throughout the 2023 season. These days it looks much better. Feel free to see some of my recent vids to see year over year progress or older videos to see what my lawn looked like when I moved away from my old place. Hope to see you again the the comments in other vids ducksauce! Love the name btw. 😁

    Many of your tips are don't work in the real world depending on where you live. If you're such a lawn expert then why does your lawn look so bad?
