This guy is hands down the coolest guy in the lawn business. I’ve learned so much from him and thank you sir so much! I just build my house and getting into learning grass more and how to keep it healthy and beautiful, and you are helping me out so much. Also, your math example, your calculations, are spot on and so easy to understand and again thank you sir!
I love that you offer tips on how to get results with store bought products even though you sell an alternative. I watch you because you seem like a great person.
Allen, well I followed your instructions for my St. Augustine. I put down 4 pallets, about 2000 sq ft, in February in Port St Joe Fl. It took about 4 weeks to tell that it was going to grow . Now on May 21st it is probably the star of the neighbor hood. I ordered your fertilizer and put it down 2 weeks ago this weekend. I really don't remember the name, but it is for greening it up and WOW my wife came home today and said Our lawn looks like that "guys" you follow on TH-cam...LCN, and a neighbor honked today while I was mowing with a new push reel mower, he also gave me a thumbs up! Thank you!
I swear by Hydretain. I had a new lawn sodded [KBG], and boy, did it need to be babied. My lawn has a slope, and the top tends to dry out. This stuff saved it from getting fried in 90+ temps. I just ordered my 2nd bag of 15lb from your site. Ironite is amazing. It evened out the color of my lawn.
@Lua Dipa well you obviously don't understand why Alyn does what he does. He makes his videos entertaining so they aren't just 30 seconds of boring information. He purposely gives more information than necessaryso that new people can get involved and understand how to fix problems in their lawn. It would be incredibly boring if the videos were only 30 seconds. You should understand that a lot of people actually enjoy maintaining their lawn. If you look at lawn maintenance like work, you are in the wrong place.
Folks, I'm here to say that everything that Allen says is 100% true. My yard was just ok until I started watching LCN videos. Following the simple steps and paying attention to what the lawn is telling me has produced the greenest and most watched lawn on my block. My neighbors call me the lawn whisper and have been asking me why my lawn is greener than the neighborhood truegreen treated lawns. I've just as of late started pointing thin to the LCN videos. Thank you so very much Allen. You have my full gratitude and respect. Keep up the good work.
Eyeballing it on the first shot I bet gives the same awesome feeling as when you’re doing laundry and you happen to grab the exact number of clothes hangers that you need🤣
Been a few year's since I've done anything but mow. Yard was looking great thank to Allen's full course of tips and tricks. No crab grass but broadleaf's have taken over this year. My neighbors yards are looking way better than mine. Have to get back on it this fall and spring.
@mimiroberts9901 I use 24D amine consentrate and mix with water by directions. 24D ester is probably a little better but ester is what I bought, it's a little cheaper. Add an ounce of surfactant per gallon, you can buy it or use soap or shampoo. That breaks the surface tension of the water and makes it spread over the leaves instead of bead giving more surface contact. There's probably better stuff on the market but it's a good start and should knock down most or all of your issues. Spray a second time before 2 weeks for stuff that is just stunted.
Allyn...i live in ohio.. i was told about the "burn comment" that years ago people used agricultural strength products on their lawns and it did "burn" because it was so strong. Im almost 70 now and remember alot of people that tried it. I assume over the years better products were made without the strength of the old to prevent that. I enjoy all of your videos!
This summer I used Hydratain for the first time. My lawn was drying out because of this South Florida HEAT!! I LOVE IT. Also used it at my dad house and the lawn started to fill in and looking healtier. I started to apply it to the plants in my workplace office. We have a Peace lily by the front door that came back to life after the Hydratain. I'm impressed!!
Hydretain.....thank you for this info as I am admittedly ignorant on this, should work well in my area where we are under constant water restrictions. Your video has me excited again about doing my own yard work. Seems like all the commercial grass care people do is just slap on more fertilizer and my yard still looks like crap....that changes today!!
We just moved into our new house in West Palm four months ago and I found your videos a few months back after our HOA sent a letter about our grass looking yellow and dead. Thanks to you I have the best looking lawn on the block. I dropped some stress blend down last month and picked up a four pack off lawn mastery. The RGS and and Humic 12 are no joke and if I don’t mow twice a week now the St. Aug goes crazy. Thanks Allen and can’t wait to drop some Sunniland Iron down next week now
I could never be on the HOA those people are crazy!!! I helped our new next store neighbor drop down Sunniland 6-4-0 this weekend and the smell is impressive!!!!!!
Great video I have always used store bought products 20 years plus with great results but like you said this year I decided to try the pro products and my grass is much thicker.
I love Ironite, used it for the first time this spring and noticed a huge difference! This summer I have decided to try out liquids, so I splurged and bought a backpack sprayer, and bought a gallon of the Hydretain on your website. My cool season grass has been very stressed from the unusual 90's we've been having every day with no rain, so hoping this product helps. I figured it was also a better liquid product to put down for a first timer, as liquid fertilizers would burn the lawn if over applied. I'm still planning to use only water in my sprayer for the first time, to see how much I use with my walking pace, along with getting use to the sprayer. I'm still scared of liquids so I'd rather not chance it :)
Just want to thank you for making these videos. I built a new home last year and the sod was laid in our dry season here in south fl and it was terrible. Now I have it looking great.
Nice video. Cool season midwest guy. Follow local dyna green plan. Usually add ironite in May to supplement and get extra green and then July 1st when there’s no step due to summer heat I throw down milo to give that summer time green up while most other lawns are struggling. Domination! I’m also a believer in fungicide. Use monthly late May to late July and alternate as this can help fix that yellow/brown blades you see mixed in that can take away a green lawn when there’s high humidity or nighttime rain.
My pet peve is i don't cut before 630pm in the summer (in NC). If you cut healthy grass in the heat of the day, it will dry and wilt in the scorching heat.
I remember when Milo (coincidentally my dogs name) was $11/bag and nearly impossible to find. Now it's $16/bag and easily found with plenty of competitors out there. I still throw it down during the summer heat, but they should be throwing a little commission your way for building the brand!
This video is full of knowledge. Thank you for taking the time teaching us about our lawn. I’m officially a lawn nut! Just purchased your stress blend fertilizer. I’m also subscribed to your weekly emails and I’m a member on Facebook! I’m excited about learning all I can.
Really good information. I think the best so far. I m a new Gardner and made so much points clear. Thank you and love the way you explain exactly what to do about measurements really helps Thank you
Great video. I too am in Florida ( West Coast ) and watch people all the time try to take care of St Augustine turf and they are clueless to the needs, I will recommend your channel. In your video you mentioned that your under a fertilizer ban, I think it would be very beneficial if you explained why. I am a fisherman that loves to fish the grass flats of Florida and have seen first hand how bad red tide will affect our fisheries. Although there is not concrete evidence pointing to Nitrogen run off it seems very logical to me. The use of Iron in the summertime as a supplement is a great idea. Keep up the good work spreading knowledge.
Great video and it goes to show, for me at least, I'm learning a lot from you. Really appreciate your experience and knowledge, my grass was looking really down at the beginning of June and I decided to throw some ironite down, now my grass is doing a lot better and much greener and is due to one of your previous videos you mention to not over feed the lawn with nitrogen, almost two months later you make a video with the product I thought would be close to what you were talking about, I have also bought some of your carbon x early spring and had great result, as a first time home owner for a little over a year now, thank you for all your hard work!
Thank you soooooo much for great information. I've been really struggling with my lawn. I've watch other videos on what to do and what not to do to your lawn in hot summer months. None of them mentioned using iron. Also great information on fertilizers.
I’m surprised I never saw this video last year but it popped up just now. I’ve NEVER heard of this Hydretain product and we live in an area with severe water restrictions. I’m DEFINITELY picking some of this up for our shrubs and flowers AND my lawn!
I'm in my 60's and growing up the adults used drop spreaders to fertilize and ended up with alternating green and yellow stripes. The overlap burned the lawn. Now most people use broadcast spreaders and like you said, the products are better.
when checking for plants grasses having enough water there’s a certain time of day plants will act look like they are in desperate need of water but they are actually using a defense method to protect themselves and once it cools off they will perk back up just like when watering I’ve noticed this happening in the SoCal heat the last few weeks obviously if you haven’t watered lately or don’t check on things regularly they probably are desperately in need of water.
You sir have helped me turn my new construction lawn into something I'm proud off . THANK YOU! was wondering if you have any tips on how to adjust cutting height on a push mower so that it can cut higher than manufactured preset? Basically I'm broke and cant afford an upgrade with a cut height of 4" 😊
So informative. I planted Bermuda in full sun, looked beautiful but developed yellowing to brown spots…l was told it was fungus. If so what fungicide can use and l apply during summer without burning my lawn 🔥 😮 Thanks, Rose
Totally off subject, but I love that UV covering over the pool and patio area. Was thinking about something similar to this for my home. Would love to see it in a full video of it's own.
Thank you for the videos! I'm in Maryland and bought an acre of land. It was nice after the weed n feed in the spring but now it's dead and over loaded with thatch. Most of the green is from crabgrass. I will dethatch with a machine from home depot and put down tall fescue or K bluegrass seed. What can I use to fertilize that wont stunt the new seedlings?
thanks for the video, its an intresting way to go about getting better color . i go about it differently, i lime my turf during dormancy so as to adjust the pH, then in spring, after some months have passed and the pH has adjusted and unlocked the turf, i put out a 28-3-10 (50% slow release) with 5% iron, i always get a great result from doing it this way. the ironite way works ok, but i find ironite is short lived compared to doing it the way i do it.
I know you have lots of experience walking out the square footage, but for inexperienced LCNs, the iPhone has a measurement tool built in to the phone using the camera if you want a more precise measurement.
Key ingredient, water. I’ve never put anything on my lawn after spring until fall except water. Bluegrass and fescue stayed bright green every summer. After 4 years, roots were down 6-10”.
When I first started, I definitely "burned" my lawn using a Scott's product. It was 100% MY fault. I put it down like it was Milo, really heavy, and my lawn turned brown for that season. I couldn't recover it fully, even watering it like mad. This was on a newer lawn though too, so that played a part. But I've learned "go by the label", measure accordingly, and less is always better than more.
Same happened to me even by following exact instructions from the back label for Scott’s weed and feed product. Mine is still brown after 2 months, how to recover? I have been watering but no progress, I have read in blogs that it will be left with bald spots after 6 months of “recovery”....
@@andresarme, Welp, I don't want to give you bad news, but in my experience, you won't be able to recover this year. It's like there's too much salt or something in the soil once you put too much fertilizer down. My grass turned brown, thinned out big time, and it actually took another full season to recover in my case. I even tried watering it repeatedly, everyday trying to dilute the excess fertilizer, but it still killed off my lawn. I did this my first year getting into lawn care. I threw the Scott's down like it was Milo and it was a huge mistake. I could see my lawn dieing within 2 days, and within a week, it was a disaster. I was sooooo pissed. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do but give it time once you've dropped excess fertilizer.
Drewg351 thank you for replying, great answer actually, now I definitely can set my expectations correctly. At this point my brain kind of told me that already but my hope was expecting a miracle. This is also my first year taking care of my lawn :( I’ll keep watering and waiting. Thank you again ;)
@@andresarme, yup. I researched online "what to do if you put too much fert down on your lawn" and it's pretty abysmal. The only thing you can try is heavy watering to dilute it somewhat, but it didn't work for me. Since that mistake, I've learned "less is more" if you're not using an organic fert. With organics like Milo, it's virtually error proof. You can go heavy with zero worries. The Scott's Fertilizer, it's best to apply strictly as recommended, and NOT just "throw er down". Best of luck. Sorry to hear about your dilemma. Good news is, it will eventually come back.
For my St. Augustine here in Greater Fort Lauderdale I just water every day, no fert, occasional weed killer like three times a year at most, and mow every three to four days in the summer and once a week for the other seasons.
I just bought a house in South Dakota and the lawn (not sure what type of grass) was dormant and soil is hard clay... I put down starter fertilizer and holy cow it went nuts! Luckily I got the fertilizer down before our last snow and so I didn't even need to water it in.
The new ironite bags says to put a spreader setting of 5 on a Scott’s turf builder edge guard. 2 bags should have covered my 10,000 sqft lawn. I’m now having to go purchase 2 more bags. I think the setting 3 is still accurate.
Very helpful video, quick question, I got about 3 acres and the big problem I have is, weed grass growing everywhere faster and taller than the grass, how can I get rid of it?
it depends on what the problems grass is, and what your grass type is. You will want to get a positive ID of both before taking a course of action forward.
Great Vedeo! My 2¢: Spend more money on Fertilizers that have no UREA or certainly where Urea is no more than 50% of total Nitrogen: if you can budget it. This pretty much rules out "big box" stores. I got Summer Patch here in Chicago last year when the monsoons of late July turned into the Mohovie desert sun and winds in August. My Scotts Step ONE is 7.20% Ammonical N and 8.30% "other water soluble" N and 11.70 % Urea N: approximately 43.00% Urea. Bought the bag before I learned that the Fusarium Blight fungus, now broken in to Summer Patch and Necrotic Ring Spot, former causing me to tear-out and replace my lawn at 2.35/sq.ft. x 486 square feet, gennerally have had Urea Nitrogen applied in the past. Perhaps Urea in Polymur may help avoid the fungus. However, after taking a kick to my crotch over a grand last summer in lawn replacement, I will now just look harder and spend more dough for higher quality Nitrogen in fsrtilizer to include looking in farm supply stores and just chalk it up to fungus insurance along with my fungicide applications.
Thank-you for this information especially for us amateurs - great vid. Love the big box store comparison. Love the fact you are from the calumet region- lake county region rat.
Who knew lawn care could be fun?!

One of the most important videos online about lawn burn. Powerful. Great work.
I see there's thumbs down on this video. I don't understand how anybody could find anything negative here.
Great video as usual. Thumbs up from me!!

@Lua Dipa yeah and it's probably boring as shit.
When his videos are sponsored, he let's people know. His sponsorships are very rare

Wow huge difference in your neighbors yard. A benevolent dominator.
Eyeballing it on the first shot I bet gives the same awesome feeling as when you’re doing laundry and you happen to grab the exact number of clothes hangers that you need🤣
Been a few year's since I've done anything but mow. Yard was looking great thank to Allen's full course of tips and tricks. No crab grass but broadleaf's have taken over this year. My neighbors yards are looking way better than mine. Have to get back on it this fall and spring.
never a better time to start than now! you got this bro!
What do you use to get rid if broadleafs? I'm in Georgia and I have Bermuda sod.
@mimiroberts9901 I use 24D amine consentrate and mix with water by directions. 24D ester is probably a little better but ester is what I bought, it's a little cheaper. Add an ounce of surfactant per gallon, you can buy it or use soap or shampoo. That breaks the surface tension of the water and makes it spread over the leaves instead of bead giving more surface contact.
There's probably better stuff on the market but it's a good start and should knock down most or all of your issues. Spray a second time before 2 weeks for stuff that is just stunted.

Excellent video presentation's. Live in southern Ontario Canada but value your expertise on lawn care.
Just want to thank you for making these videos. I built a new home last year and the sod was laid in our dry season here in south fl and it was terrible. Now I have it looking great.
Allyn the lanai looks GREAT! I might have to do that over my entire house. Make it like an old school Holiday Inn Holidome.
Ha ha !!
Thank you so much for cracking open the hidden lawn care egg!
Thank you ....I need to add .....finally someone mentioned the best type ...thanks ....thumbs up and I subscribed
Screened in covering for the pool looks nice. Bug free swimming!
thank you! extends our living space too which is really nice.
Pool cage came out nice 👌
I appreciate the insight on the hydretain. Definitely picking up some of this stuff...
Thanks bro! It really expanded our living space, super cool.

if I had a dog, I'd name him Milo too.
Each Spring season Ace Hardware Stores run a sale on milorganite for $7.99 a bag
It's more like 20 bucks a bag now and I'm really mad at LCN for causing the price to go up!
Great stuff. Can’t wait to get back at it! It’s been a loooong winter.
Hey 17 here (I’m weird lol) The good thing about living in Texas is that I can grow grass constantly

Totally off subject, but I love that UV covering over the pool and patio area. Was thinking about something similar to this for my home. Would love to see it in a full video of it's own.
I think you switched hats 4-5 times in the video 🤣🤣. Great video, good info!
ha ha! good eye!
Thank you for the videos! I'm in Maryland and bought an acre of land. It was nice after the weed n feed in the spring but now it's dead and over loaded with thatch. Most of the green is from crabgrass. I will dethatch with a machine from home depot and put down tall fescue or K bluegrass seed. What can I use to fertilize that wont stunt the new seedlings?
thanks for the video, its an intresting way to go about getting better color . i go about it differently, i lime my turf during dormancy so as to adjust the pH, then in spring, after some months have passed and the pH has adjusted and unlocked the turf, i put out a 28-3-10 (50% slow release) with 5% iron, i always get a great result from doing it this way. the ironite way works ok, but i find ironite is short lived compared to doing it the way i do it.
I know you have lots of experience walking out the square footage, but for inexperienced LCNs, the iPhone has a measurement tool built in to the phone using the camera if you want a more precise measurement.
Thanks for this info as I want to measure lawn area.
Key ingredient, water. I’ve never put anything on my lawn after spring until fall except water. Bluegrass and fescue stayed bright green every summer. After 4 years, roots were down 6-10”.
When I first started, I definitely "burned" my lawn using a Scott's product. It was 100% MY fault. I put it down like it was Milo, really heavy, and my lawn turned brown for that season. I couldn't recover it fully, even watering it like mad. This was on a newer lawn though too, so that played a part. But I've learned "go by the label", measure accordingly, and less is always better than more.
Same happened to me even by following exact instructions from the back label for Scott’s weed and feed product. Mine is still brown after 2 months, how to recover? I have been watering but no progress, I have read in blogs that it will be left with bald spots after 6 months of “recovery”....
@@andresarme, Welp, I don't want to give you bad news, but in my experience, you won't be able to recover this year. It's like there's too much salt or something in the soil once you put too much fertilizer down. My grass turned brown, thinned out big time, and it actually took another full season to recover in my case. I even tried watering it repeatedly, everyday trying to dilute the excess fertilizer, but it still killed off my lawn. I did this my first year getting into lawn care. I threw the Scott's down like it was Milo and it was a huge mistake. I could see my lawn dieing within 2 days, and within a week, it was a disaster. I was sooooo pissed. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do but give it time once you've dropped excess fertilizer.
Drewg351 thank you for replying, great answer actually, now I definitely can set my expectations correctly. At this point my brain kind of told me that already but my hope was expecting a miracle. This is also my first year taking care of my lawn :( I’ll keep watering and waiting. Thank you again ;)
@@andresarme, yup. I researched online "what to do if you put too much fert down on your lawn" and it's pretty abysmal. The only thing you can try is heavy watering to dilute it somewhat, but it didn't work for me. Since that mistake, I've learned "less is more" if you're not using an organic fert. With organics like Milo, it's virtually error proof. You can go heavy with zero worries. The Scott's Fertilizer, it's best to apply strictly as recommended, and NOT just "throw er down". Best of luck. Sorry to hear about your dilemma. Good news is, it will eventually come back.
Wow, I’ve learned a lot. Thank you so much.
Thanks, years hired professional lawn feeding, doing mine this year. Lots of moss out back, thanks on Ironite and Milorgainite
Was thinking you moved to another home, as it looks like a pool shade/covering was added. Looks good!
thank you! got it put up last week.
The Lawn Care Nut
No more smoking the mosquitos out?
@@Thelawncarenut Very nice screen, almost completely seamless. Which company did the work and do they call this type of screen a particular name?
For my St. Augustine here in Greater Fort Lauderdale I just water every day, no fert, occasional weed killer like three times a year at most, and mow every three to four days in the summer and once a week for the other seasons.
Flexing on us at the beginning with his new pool screen 😂 I see you working Al
ha ha!
I just bought a house in South Dakota and the lawn (not sure what type of grass) was dormant and soil is hard clay... I put down starter fertilizer and holy cow it went nuts! Luckily I got the fertilizer down before our last snow and so I didn't even need to water it in.
The new ironite bags says to put a spreader setting of 5 on a Scott’s turf builder edge guard. 2 bags should have covered my 10,000 sqft lawn. I’m now having to go purchase 2 more bags. I think the setting 3 is still accurate.
Man, I missed your videos. Good one here.
Great info and great hat Brother…👏👏👏🍻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Congrats on the new screened-in enclosure!
thank you!
Great info as always. Need some rain up here in Jacksonville. Glad I have irrigation. Also Happy belated Birthday.
thanks bro! we are finally getting rain now, like the normal 2PM stuff. It's about time!
Good info not too much blablablablabla straight to the point 👍
Your hat made me chuckle. 🤣👍
I just used triple 16 fertiliser on my grass, when can I use ironite after applying fertiliser, and when should I use fertiliser again after ironite.
Love watching these vids for the tips. Thx LCN.
Very helpful video, quick question, I got about 3 acres and the big problem I have is, weed grass growing everywhere faster and taller than the grass, how can I get rid of it?
it depends on what the problems grass is, and what your grass type is. You will want to get a positive ID of both before taking a course of action forward.
One of the best hats ever!
Great Vedeo!
My 2¢: Spend more money on Fertilizers that have no UREA or certainly where Urea is no more than 50% of total Nitrogen: if you can budget it. This pretty much rules out "big box" stores.
I got Summer Patch here in Chicago last year when the monsoons of late July turned into the Mohovie desert sun and winds in August.
My Scotts Step ONE is 7.20% Ammonical N and 8.30% "other water soluble" N and 11.70 % Urea N: approximately 43.00% Urea. Bought the bag before I learned that the Fusarium Blight fungus, now broken in to Summer Patch and Necrotic Ring Spot, former causing me to tear-out and replace my lawn at 2.35/sq.ft. x 486 square feet, gennerally have had Urea Nitrogen applied in the past.
Perhaps Urea in Polymur may help avoid the fungus. However, after taking a kick to my crotch over a grand last summer in lawn replacement, I will now just look harder and spend more dough for higher quality Nitrogen in fsrtilizer to include looking in farm supply stores and just chalk it up to fungus insurance along with my fungicide applications.
Thank-you for this information especially for us amateurs - great vid. Love the big box store comparison. Love the fact you are from the calumet region- lake county region rat.
Love the hat. Don’t be short
