What if we are also looking to top dress a bumpy lawn at the same time with sand. Before, during, after this process? Or not at all until next year? Think this well help other subscribers. Thanks!
Hey Allen Hayne or Jake, question if I have starter fert for bermuda to put down now, how many lbs would you recommend I put down per 1000sq ft before going dormant? It's Pennington starter 18-24-06
I live in Michigan, when should I aerate? I'd read some articles where people say to aerate ONLY in the fall, and then others that say to do it both in the spring and summer. What are your thoughts? Below is a statement from an article I was reading.
While some companies will recommend aeration in both spring and fall, for most lawns in the neighborhoods we service, we generally recommend a single round of aeration done in the fall. While there are some benefits to spring aeration, there are also some drawbacks. In spring, weeds are just beginning to proliferate. By aerating in the spring, you are creating space for your lawn’s root system to expand, but you are also clearing spots where unwanted weeds can slip in as well
I knew you would eventually dominate that silly core aerator. Jake needs to accept all liability and blame while filming. Poke more holes could be a new t-shirt for you. Jake is amazing that he even knew of Tears For Fears. There is an old soul in his young body.
"The wetter the grass, the deeper the core"... another tag line for tee shirt/merchandising
Never seen you use or talk about top dressing with compost blend ? Isn't it one of the best things for new seed ?
Never add compost as most contain some weed seeds. Leave a bag out for a month with a small hole in it and watch the weeds grow out of the bag.
@@Ossamakilla You need better compost.
@@allandonald6248 ehhh they all have some weed seeds. That's a big reason you'll never see compost or straw on site at a golf course.
Is there a website where I can get a list of the calculations used in this video? Or an online calculator?
Diggin' these collaborations! Can't wait to see how the project lawn turns out.
Just finished doing the LCN fall resto program today. Even missed the Pats game to throw ‘er down!!!!
Thanks LCN!

All in one application?
Matthew Schorfheide ok I was confused but I think you cleared this up for me .. I wasn’t clear after the seed .. I thought the milo was after the seed but I should apply 10-10-10 then milo . Is all milo the same ?
Have you been talking to my wife??? "Get on, get off"!!!! 😂😂😂
OK buddy, thanks A LOT. I went nut like you. Went to the depot, rent me a professional aerator, bought several bags of milo and Scott's seeds. I threw her down like there's no tomorrow. So far I have gotten 17k steps. Completed the job in 3 hours. Returned the aerator back to the depot. Really heavy putting back on the bed of the truck. My wife almost threw her back. But luckily I had a 4x4 that helped as a bridge. Word of advice for everyone, buy two 2x6 x 8 feet and use as bridge to your truck. This thing is a beast. But LCN, said all that, I have saved money doing myself. Thanks for the video.
“The best way to control weeds is to cultivate GRASS”. Lov3 this guy!
Hahah jake with the 80's reference! nice
Jake knows his math, his lawn care, and his music!
Poke More Holes.......new LCN sticker?
What do I do with my lawn that is 80% zoysia grass and roughly 20% bermuda? They only do plugs and sod for zoysia to my knowledge. So can't overseed. Still aerate? How do I get rid of the Bermuda? I haven't seen much if any videos or emails on zoysia grass. Thanks!
2 years late to the party but this video and all the others I've watch since have inspired and taught me how to fix up my neglected yard. Thank you!
Hey great work on the lawns I had a quick question for you so it's the last weekend of September I dethatch the lawn aerated the lawn then over top of the lawn I added a three mix which is topsoil peat moss and mushroom fertilizer. I had grubs in the lawn so I added a grub killer which have to be watered in after I watered it the three mix got wet and I couldn't rake it underneath the grass is this going to cause my grass to die or will it come back to life with a top soil mix on top of it
It will be fine but stay away from peat Moss on your grass it's acidic you want your soil ph around 6.0- 7.0 ....put lime pellets down raises the ph in the soil ......grass seed I recommend rye grass and Kentucky bluegrass midnight granite or wildhorse kbg or last you live in deep south then you'll have to go with tall fescue kentucky 31
Milorganite is now $15.99/bag up her in Canton, GA.... We spread the word on this great product, we buy it up, they almost doubled the price! Hope this stopped the high taxes on toilet flushers in Milwaukee. 😂😂😂😂
You guys are pretty damn funny together. Keep after it man, love your channel, learning a ton from you. I run a lawn care business, Any thoughts on a Turf Tracer 36" for a solo guy as a main mower? I have a 21" honda & echo stick equipment/blower.
Any benefit to using a slice seeder over coring and spreading?
Anyone ever use liquid aerator? Thoughts...
I have 2 acres, you can do what ever you want to to my land as a project. It doesn't look like a ⛳ but I'm trying! If I pole that many holes in yard, the ground critters will be Really confused.
I am brand new to the lawn care game and I have recently subscribed and watched a ton of your videos. I dethatched and hand areated yesterday( by the way I will never make that idiotic mistake again) and am now ready to overseed. I am using the Scott's 3-IN-1 sun & shade which contains 9% nitrogen. I want to know if it's possible to put put down Milorganite as well with this Scott's mix?
That place will look like Augusta in no time.
My lawn is too full. No over seed for me this year. De-thatch, aerate, and milo for me.
Those plugs look like dog turds...Just say'n
I always thought they were too!
That’s how you know you’re dooin it right.
Love the classic 80's R&B funk soundtrack!
Alan,
When is the best time of year to do this?
I am in the cooler grass area....NW Indiana area.....
Thanks
What seed is that you used? Where bought?
Well I followed this and amazing results. If I could attach a picture I would.
That “leave the weeds” advice is horrible you should have everything killed out a month before aeration.
Throw'er Down and Hope for the Best! I did and now I have the best lawn on my block lol 😆
does aeration cause divets?
I'm glad you can laugh at yourself, after missing the obvious. Lol
Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid back together again!! Love it!
Good stuff Mr Nut!
Poke holes, i.e. POKE 'ER DOWN!!
#meticulosity
Yep, right on! Fearless Leader. August? Now. 🧐
Watching this in 2021, seed is definitely NOT cheap lol.
I was gonna say never had a problem mowing, actually the mower pushes the seed down for betters contact after an aeration.
After 20 years of fertilizing first and then accidentally have my mowing crew show up and cut it with a high vacuum lawnmower we never opened the hopper and found the 50lbs bag of fertilizer , no joke not even one single piece in the hopper
I figured you guys was in the Lansing area! That's dope an inspiring for my lawn
I just thatched my lawn and it looks bare. I love in Philadelphia, is it too late to aerate and seed?
All this rain has been preventing me from doing my lawn renovation. My question is what’s the cut off for me to do so. I live in the northeast. Di I still have time to do it or is it a total waste?
No cut off you just want to have the grass up before leaves fall i recommend starting second week of August....November I will say wait until next august
Get the larger one from Home Depot that one sucks I returned it for the larger one w/deeper holes
How much water per day for those first 15-21 days?
Hey, great video. What's the song at 12 minutes?
What spreader is that? Looks nice
Great video! Spray for skeeters Jake...use Talstar.
I tried spreading seed on top and hoards of finches spend several days husking the seeds. Leaving behind dead empty seeds.
I MUST use a verticutter to bury the seedlings in soil to prevent th lil bastids from eating them!
They ate 50lbs of seed in a week! That's $80 of high priced bird food!!
Oh for real?? We're going with Tears for Fears.?? Ha
Finally get to hear the rest of Cleetus’ music lol.
great video guys! I see you didn't use any cover after the overseeding? should be fine correct? I have 20k of lawn and would never bags and bags of peat moss but from watching this video I should be fine without?
I never saw the end product of this project lawn...in this video its looking much like a lawn that I seeded on June 1st up here in South Dakota. Where can I view the end result video??
Woooow!!! Way too much seed in one area!! Horrible idea!
Hey Allen, I got the stimulant pack today and it had 2 stickers in it. One was the pink flamingo. Are those weatherproof? Can they go on the truck?
Nice video, should i water before aeration to loosen up the soil?
so no top dressing like peat moss would be needed?
Man, been following you since the early early days. Like when you were in the hundreds of followers. I loved that you called my lawn “a little postage stamp lawn” when I described living in Chicago next to the burbs! I’m next to Naperville now so you know right where im at. Thanks for all the great years of content. Could it be like 15 years already?
Should I be aerating zoysia?
Where can i get that aeration device and also is there one that can dethatch and aerate in one device?
You have mentioned that you aerate every fall. Would you ever aerate in the fall without seeding?
Sure you can areat anytime as long as ground is not frozen aerating with seeding is just going to give you a better yield of seed germinating the plugs will cover up the seed .....areat last
I don't get why you keep pushing Milorganite and I live in Wisconsin. The price is now advertised as $14 to $16 for a 36 pound bag but none of those places have it. The places that do want $40+ for the 36# bag. Walmart online has it priced at $47.85. I have a 10K lawn why should I spend near $200 dollars for what I can do with a 30-0-6 from Menards for $20?
If you go to the Milo manufacturers website they announced a shortage of product this year. Ace hardware would order it for me for $14 a bag, but I went to site one a landscaping supply and they had plenty in stock for $17 a bag, see if you can go to a pro landscape supply.
I live in Minnesota and a couple of weeks ago Fleet Farm was selling 36lb bags 5/$30.00. I asked how many bags they had on hand and was told over 300 bags at their location.
What are you talking about??? I live in WI and you go to Ace and buy it for 5/35 or slightly more at Blains for 8.99 or so.. I know at Lowe's and elsewhere it's 12 or so, but still.. I know what you mean though, as I have seen it online for an absurd amount of money. I guess I'm glad to live in WI for that and other reasons. Peace..
I saw that price at Lowes to but its out of stock and has no fulfillment options. I'm in NY so maybe that's some midwest pricing.
I went to the Home Depot, Menards, and the Ace near me, no one had it. I googled to see if I could get it online, the prices I posted were on that date. I still feel I got a better deal with the Menards 17# bag at 30-0-6 for $10 since my soil tests show I am fine on phosphorus.
Fall Aeration vs De-Thatching/Scarifying? I bought the Sunjoe De-Thatcher/Scarifier this season and used it instead of core aeriation. The Sunjoe really picked up a lot of debris and was rather impressed with the end results. Obviously the Sunjoe does NOT do the same physical/mechanical job of a core aerator. My question is this..can one use a De-Thatcher/Scarifier instead of a core aerator? What are the Pros/Cons of this?
Should I water the grass the night before I aerate it?
Great lawn I did following you. But I didn’t research watering and I got fungus. Ok fixed but now I fixed wholes with turf builder manure etc. now question? Fertilize with organize now then reseed wait a week later then reseed. . All is cut and ready to go. Which to do first? Fertilize it seed? I think fertilize . Answer us:?????? Sandee
How do you not show the final result? Seriously now.
Hi. My lawn has a 20ft by 20ft spot that is very dry as it is full sun and highest spot on the lawn. I am able to easily get down to about 2-3in and then it’s hard and possibly clay. Grass dies by end of summer unless i water everyday. My plan ... put down Liquid Aerating Soil Loosener- Aerator Soil Conditioner to make soil softer, core aerate, overseed and top dress with soil 1 week after, then right after core aeration add milorganite mixed with The Andersons Organic Humic DG. Thoughts?
Good video Allyn , the process seems to be progressing well, Allyn and Jake the new age Abbot and Costello.😁👍👍
Can you use the aerator if you have a rocky soil??
I saw Santoris and new you were on Ridge Road in Lansing. :)
Can centipede be over seeded with st Augustine
Can you use milorganite for overseeding or would Scott’s lawn food be better?
Milogranite works , that’s what I’m usuing
It felt so much more real when they used milo.
Hi Alyn, quick question about top dressing. I have a new property with steep hills which are bumpy due to rain water induced soil erosion. When is the best time to do some top dressing and some tips, such as mowing depth etc towards preparation would be appreciated. I have tall Fescue in my yard and I am based in Chatt, TN. LOVE your show. Your Hybrid grass book is my go to resource! Bye bye TruGreen next year.
Thanks to you I've been getting compliments on my lawn and especially with the stripes. I had a few outdoor parties at my house this summer and quests loved the looks of my lawn. One even said that I hire professionals and I proudly said "nope I do it myself!" Any recommendation on affordable grass seed? I've been using scotts kentucky blue grass seed and they are expensive! I'm here in Illinois.
Nice work ! Fir grass seed, store bought stuff is the cheapest usually. You can see if larger 50lb bags are cheaper by the pound at your local garden center maybe.
How do you stripe I have a exmark 48in but don't know how to stripe
Can we do this in Wichita Ks now or should we wait?
Indiana license plate on that car in the driveway! Hello, fellow Hoosier!!!
Hi Allyn, you have N-Ext products on your side, can you give us some tips on N-Ext Seeding.Over-Seeding package how and when you use it ?
I learned a little trick that really works well for me if anyone wants to try, I put 1/4 of the grass seed down before I aerate then put the rest down after I aerate...works amazing for me
Problem with that is every seed that gets hit by plugger gets broken. Once broken, it wont germinate so id think 2x b4 doing that again. I seed very last so that my plugger, fertilizer, and lime passes dont crush seed.
I heard about this technique before and I just tried it today on a customers lawn. Hopefully it works.
My grass looks awesome. Thanks so much. I still have a few weeds but I know the tips you guys provide will help big time! Keep up the great work. ❤️❤️
Pete? Are you referring to GCI turf Pete? He opens bags like a champ. I like Pete. Seem like a great guy. Good attitude. Have you guys done anything together?
I love makinig tootsie rolls in the lawn.
I did all of this over over Labor Day weekend (Saturday). It has been a little over a week and my existing grass is very tall even though I mowed short before. Should I still try to wait 3 weeks to mow or mow early? Some of my new grass is already 2+ inches also.
I have 5 bags of Milo and need 7 to finish out the year. I can't find it anywhere. This stuff is like gold. Next year I'm buying enough for the whole year lol. Wife calls me crazy. Wait till she sees me throwing it down lol
After a long day of work...the tears for fears 80s song reference had me grinning...good job fellas, I like that pro spreader!
Here in VA, we'll need to wait until the hurricane passes before seeding? I (obviously) missed seeding last week. What's the seeding effect on a saturated (ie post hurricane) ground?
Been raining for 1 week going to be raining for another 2 weeks. Haven’t been able to aerate yet 😳. It’s 9/10 today. Can I do it effectively in 2 weeks?
In this video you two aerated the lawn extensively with corks pulled out all over. My question is what if I also plan to level out the lawn with fine sand and top soil mix this year, what should the timing like between aeration/over seeding and leveling?
Should I aerate and seed first this Fall then try to level a month later after the lawn has grown? Or do one of the two this year and the other in Spring? Thank you.
Pete would never butcher a seed bag that way😂😂😂😂 He made a vid just on how to open a bag of grass seed...🧐🧐
Odd question i was doing some read about a place in maine that picked up waste from a treatment plant used it i there fields and now a bad chemical is showing in the cows milk . Wonder what they are going to find in this fertiler
Hello boss I’m from orlando fl I’m a subscriber I really like your channel it is any way a can contact you I have two questions for you thanks !!
Stupid question but can I use a thatch rake, use a liquid aeration, over seed and use fertilizer all the in same day or do I need to stretch it all out? Thanks!
LCN, should we mark our sprinkler heads before aerating to avoid damaging them? Thanks for your tips.
I have been enjoying all of your videos, I’m in east Texas could I follow the same protocol with over seeding with centipede seeds??
That music, all I can think about is the end of a Cleetus McFarland video. You doin' it for Dale?
how often should you aerate ?
Gotta make sure the fuel is on.... lmao. That’s the kill switch. The fuel shut off is right below the choke.
So, if your going to put fertilizer down for the winter, I take it you're using high phosphorus to feed the roots cause you don't want extra nitrogen in the winter?
Should you apply starter fert when seeding or should you wait for germination?
