It's Growing Out of Control!! Early August Lawn Update
PGR = Plant growth Regulator (which I use T-nex)
I have been busy with life and dealing with other things so I've only been mowing about once a week. Up until now, I have been able to maintain a 3/4" height of cut only cutting once a week using tnex, however, I got busy and missed my reapplication window. Now I'm in full rebound and the grass is growing faster than I would regularly mow. I brought down the first cut with my Ego rotary mower on setting 1 and then followed that up with the manual reel set to 3/4".
It appears I have a little bit of fungus that shows better on camera than it does to my eyes in person. As of now, I'm now sure it's even worth treating and just keeping up with my culture practices. We are headed into one of the best months for growing grass in MN so it should recover from any disease just fine.

The ups and downs of my lawncare journey
มุมมอง 2.3K2 ปีที่แล้ว
My lawncare journey from the end of my last house to my new house. The troubles of going through multiple mowers, 2 terrible severe droughts, and becoming a dad of 2 taking up my free time. I've finally got to an exceptional looking lawn over learning a ton over the past 2 years. Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): uppbeat.io/t/noxz/nightfall License code: HHZUXKICZZMDN7GL
Taking the lawn to the next level - End of August Update
มุมมอง 3662 ปีที่แล้ว
Quick lawn tour showing off how things are looking after peak week. I had my daughter's birthday party last week and had the lawn looking the best it had all year. 3 days before the party I sprayed 0.3oz Tnex, 8oz AMS, and 2.5oz GreenORR SP per 1000 sqft. I haven't been using the toro sportlawn because the reel to bedknife adjustment is too tight to properly be cutting, and the gear on the left...

Planting a shade garden with hostas
มุมมอง 1222 ปีที่แล้ว
Easy plants for shade garden. My wife went a women at the grocery store and started talking about plants. She said she had already dug up some chartreuse hostas we could have for free. She also gave us another plant and said it would do well there. We bough some maroon coral bells for roughly $25. Patriot hostas are variegated with white and were dividend from a family member for free. I also s...
DIY Sprinkler System with MP rotators
มุมมอง 6K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Inspired by Ryan Knorr's DIY sprinkler setup with Hunter MP rotators, I looked for a cheaper way besides using hoses between the sprinklers and something that would be a bit more permanent. I found Perma-loc adapters that covert 0.75" poly pipe to GHT (garden hose thread). The first year I held poly straight with landscape staples, but this year I only need a couple to hold it in place. So far,...

Lawn tour & issues - 4th of July 2022
มุมมอง 1862 ปีที่แล้ว
Quick little lawn tour showing offing all my nit-picky issues. I'm thinking most of it is due to sanding too heavy, maybe some old melting out damage, or possibly new damage. It has been extremely humid the past few days. My wife had been cutting with our Brill manual reel at 1.2" = 30mm. Watering and drought has finally gotten under control. A week ago I sprayed 0.3oz Tnex, 1.5oz Armada, 4oz A...
Slow spring green up. Early spring tour
มุมมอง 1082 ปีที่แล้ว
My lawn was quite slow greening up this year in Minnesota. We were 6 degrees cooler on average in April and so that delayed the Greenup quite a bit compared to normal years. Dog pee spots also seemed the worst this year. I normally don't have spots during the year, but in winter those spots concentrate and kill the grass. I will have to spot seed those area's. Hard fescue stayed the greenest th...
Satisfying Sandblasting and painting restoration | 1950 Toro Sportlawn Restoration part 6
มุมมอง 2582 ปีที่แล้ว
Sandblasting off 70 year old rust and paint is so satisfying! The transformation from old, rusted parts to a newly painted 1950 Toro Sportlawn 21" reel mower is incredible! I stuck with red to keep it true to the Toro nature. Thanks to my BIL for letting me use his sandblaster on the weekend. For painting, I did 3 coats of all the following cans. roughly 10-15 minutes apart between coats. Self ...
Removing rust with a wire wheel drill | 1950 Toro Sportlawn Restoration part 5
มุมมอง 5692 ปีที่แล้ว
Satisfying rust removal from all the nuts and bolts for my 1950 Toro Sportlawn 21" reel mower. I used a wire wheel brush attachment for my drill and just varied speeds and rotated the parts around to get off most of the rust. I did not use any rust removing products like evaporust because this was in the middle of winter and I do not have a heated outdoor space that would allow for any toxic ga...

Clean oil caked on oil caked on dirt of a 70 year old antique 1950 Toro Sportlawn 21" Mower. I did everything inside because it was the middle of the winter in Minnesota and my garage is not heated. I know this would have been much easier if I did it in summer when I could have just cleaned all the parts outside, but I worked with what I had and got it done. Check out parts 1 and 2 about my pro...

Green Grass in December? Lawn and Yard Tour #1
can we change the metrics in the uk we use m2
Good Sir, I am going to give this a try… I know I’m just now seeing this video.
Turn the needle valve on the carb in about 1/4 turn. It is running too rich.
wow, this was what I was looking for. Is there a metric option for inputs such as temperature, applications and area dimensions?
Appreciate your video! This seems like a relatively simple system to put together. Would be very helpful to have the parts list broken into one section for each head (so I can multiply all those by the number of heads I need) and another section for anything else, as I cannot quite discern for a system with a certain number of heads how to order the different quantities.
Beautiful
Been using this all season and my turf loves ❤it. Never been better 🎉
Just use dish soap same shit
I let mine rebound, too, since I did some light leveling. I'm mowing like a mo-fo. I don't think I'm going to put it under regulation for the rest of this season. Your lawn is holding good color. Looks great.
🔥🔥🔥
🙏
Looks really good!
Thanks! It's probably about 7/10 IMO, but easy to fix when the grass is growing fast!
Birthday party flex
Yes! That's one of the times that most family members and friends are at our house at once. Then it's just about enjoying the lawn on that day!
Looking good Eavee. Some areas definitely look hungry
Thanks! Agreed! I got some Main Event Iron left, but might need some FEature next year 😉
Your backyard is awesome!
Thanks! There's also dog spots but they don't bother me like they do other people. That's why we have a big nice backyard for the dogs and kids to play
The yard looks thick. Good work!
Yeah... I'm almost debating if I should thin it out some or not this fall, but it's good as is. Thanks
epic tracker, love this !!!
How has this summer been compared to last year? I have great color but I have to water the bleep out of it….
I'll do update video this week when I got time! it's been doing pretty well, but yeah, watering like crazy besides this week.
Man this looks incredible. I just joined the TGF Patreon and can't believe the shit I've learned in the last two weeks. From a fellow MN to another, quackgrass can "Go fuck itself" as Matt would say. Your lawn looks great!
Thank you! Yes it's been quite the journey. Quackgrass is very much tamed under 1", but to fully get rid of it I'll have to paint it with gly multiple times or renovate with gly + fusilade for 2 rounds, fallowing in between. It definitely is the worst grassy weed in MN from what I've seen
I found a RTU fluazifop locally to blend the Soul Stealer mix Rey always mentions. The stuff I wish I knew years ago!
Great job on getting this little gem running again!
I’m dealing with leaf spot. I had the problem last year for the first time. It progressed to melting out.. I’m in MN. Do you have any recommendations on fungicides and programs? What has worked for you?
I did a full podcast on TheGrassFactor channel on fungicides. I like Armada 50 WDG. th-cam.com/users/liveMDPAQtZaXfg?feature=share
What is your water pressure at the spigot? Do you know of any chart (calculation?) that shows you maximum length of hose runs and sprinklers based on available water pressure?
75 PSI, 11 gpm. You can look up an irrigation friction loss chart
Nice!
Thank you! Coming a long nicely. Gardening is always a process
I saw you mentioned this on the discord came to check it out. this is a cool tracker you made!
I love using wire wheels and cap brush for removal of rust that's actually my first process until lastly if I need to use chemicals
Excellent ‘journey’ video. Thanks for sharing. Your hard work has definitely whipped this yard into shape including the plants. Nice work! Ditto on question of what herbicide/method did you use on the unwanted tenants in the yard.
Thanks! If you missed it, this was part of my full conversation on thegrassfactor Thirsty Thursday Podcast. Barely used any herbicides. Hand picked weeds, triclopyr once in spring. Quackgrass was controlled by mowing at 1.2" and it blending in with the lawn now. I just planted some test plots, so the next step is see how those do next year before a potential renovation will continuing to dial in pgr, water, mowing and fertility.
@@EaveeDoesIt Awesome TGF is awesome podcast. Just had not connected the dots! Great work!
What did you do to eradicate the Quack Grass?
Mow low! Under 1.5" no herbicide and it is much more in control and less noticeable, especially under 1.2". No herbicide, but if I do a full renovation I'd use fusilade ii with glyphosate and fallow for at least 30 days.
Machinesandmetal is reeltires TH-cam channel, older videos will show his part stock. I understand you have a fine turf mower now but this might help someone else.
dog rocks, get them.
ƤＲＯ𝓂Ｏ𝕤ᗰ 💦
Nice I been trying to get my lawn to look like that it's not working out 😪
Hi ya Jay! Hey chin up mate! If your working hard on it - it will come. Even when not cause life gets in the way - you are doing fine. It does not always work out perfectly or give us the results were looking for but it will work out in time. Don’t beat yourself up! Part of a tree fell and took out three of my other trees fell right in the middle of my reno last week - a real mess!!! Take care!
@@patricksquires77 totally agree. Took me 2 years to get to the level I'm at now. Its all about continue learning and stepping up every year.
Your hard work has paid off!!
Godo evening!Eavee- you did unusual !take care~;)
awesome video! was just looking to do this with poly instead of the hoses I have sitting around. Which poly pipe did you get from Home depot and why not just from dripdepot?. Thanks
3/4 in. x 100 ft. Polyethylene Pipe. It's rated for 100 PSI working pressure, which most home irrigation systems should be under. Good luck!
@@EaveeDoesIt thanks got the same one!
Looks great! Great point on the rye grass.
Great video! Lawn is looking great!
Reel Tires has parted out a large amount of Sportlawns, he very likely has many good gears.
Great video!
Thanks!
Hey so I'm told you have some experience with fine fescue. I'm in Utah and we've had a very hot year. The fine fescue next to the sidewalk that happens to get full sun most of the day checked out and went dormant once we stayed in the 90 degree weather for more than a week. It won't wake up no matter how much I water it. Is it entirely temperature dependent?
Yes, soil temperature will be the biggest change, but will also need adequate moisture. The actual type of fine fescue matters a lot as well. Hard fescue will do better in more full sun conditions, along with withstanding drought.
Pretty sure one of those scripts you showed was for an aimbot.. but whatever 😅
Love this, man. Thanks for sharing it.
This is Epic work you have done! Great to see you and Aldo Beltran asking questions on Dr. Woods live stream. I am living happily in a home without "Windows" so I will stay with paper.
Love the setup with the poly.
Thanks. Yeah it's something different that I thought was worth sharing that I haven't seen anyone else do. I'll either improve it or bury it and make another video. I just slowly improve it as budget permits
I wish I went with the MP Rotators and the poly hose.
You might advise Mrs. Eavee to stay off the lawn. I imagine she can burn a cool season lawn just by walking on it.
Coming in nice.
Looking better than my lawn! That antique mower is doing wonders
It's on and off had issues. Going to fix another part soon but in the meantime my wife has joined the turf boss team and starting mowing with the manual reel 😂
@@EaveeDoesIt nice!!!
Love it!
Really disappointed you weren’t in the video. The grass is nice but you are… I’ve said too much.
