Thank you for the continued updates and info on both warm and cool season lawns. I’m getting ready to aerate and overseed this weekend and temps are finally falling to low 80’s upper 70’s. Evergreen Cottage is an awesome channel! I really enjoy his content.
I'd say that the "growth calendar for warm season grasses" is probably off this year....at least for Texas. We just had the hottest September on record in Austin, TX, and everyone's lawn checked out. Past 6 to 9 days have been in the mid to high 90's, which is great for Bermuda. Growth is finally back in a big way. And it's the greenest it's been since July!
Aeration and seeding done first week of September. We have been experiencing very warm weather. I have been watering the front lawn everyday, but the rear is just too big. We only had 2 days of quick rain in the past month. I hope I don’t loose my seed. Bought the fert from your website, and gci seed!!
please figure out the mole and do videos of it and how to kill them i have tried everything besides waiting until i see them ground moving my lawn is getting so mest up from them
In central FL. Lawn was green (zoysia) mowed 2 days ago and now brown. What did I do wrong and what can I do to fix/repair. Nothing has changed in my routine and am going to apply last fertilization on OCT 1. Really don’t want the HOA on me so I’m also looking for winter and dormant tips for Zoysia. Thanks in advance.
Appreciate all the great information lately. Also thanks very much for the fishing footage I was only able to get out one time this year unfortunately. We are getting close to the end of the season here in Michigan and thanks to you and Mr. Perry I am enjoying my first year of doing everything on my own and seeing actual progress. Thanks!
Thank you so much for your videos. I enjoy to watch them. Today I have a question. You said for cool grass start to throwing high nitrogen every 4-6 week. But I watch your another video and followed your another advice, where you recommended stress blend with high potassium instead of push growth with nitrogen?🤔🤔🤔What is correct? What better to do?🤔🤔
I've got a mole problem in my backyard even though I treat for grubs (even though my neighbors around me don't). One of my neighbors suggested using these poison worms, but I'm nervous about my puppy digging at them and accidentally eating one. I recently tried a trick where you stick a chunk of Juicy Fruit gum in the mole hole and they essentially die out since they are unable to digest the gum. It's been about 2 months and I haven't seen any new blow-outs.
On Day 20 I threw down Milo after basically a new seeding. 30 days or 2 mowings pfft what do you know Al? Ever since I threw down the Milo 9 days ago now this area that was all dirt because it was a planter area with river rock and granite boulders that area is almost long enough to mow. It spent the last 2 weeks thickening and adding more leaves to the single KBG plant
Westcoast transplant that recently moved to N. Florida, so I'm battling a bit of a learning curve. Its the beginning of October, and I just moved in, is there anything special I should be doing considering this lawn is 13 months old and received zero love from the contractor who built this home. Been considering an over seeding and fertilization in the coming weeks, but what type of fertilizer and what type of grass seed? Thanks in advance, I'm a newb and I have bare spots of pure sand all over this property.
Sun definitely dries out the lawn. I notice it in my yard too. I think it's better sometimes to just let the grass go doormat. I do and I rarely have any disease. Just my opinion .
My problem aerating and overseeding this year is, in southern Indiana, we are in the hottest " ever" Sept. on record, and close to the dryest" ever" Sept. on record. Not to mention I had to have two dead ash trees removed compliments of the ash borer. Not to mention, I will be receiving the highest " ever" water and sewer bill. Lol
At 10:20... when you say bio stimulants do you mean RGS? And what would you recommend for a pre emergent for us in SC (Bermuda grass)? Anything I could order from your website?
I'm very glad I was ahead of the curve with my seeding this year. Threw it down along with Milo and 10-10-10 on Saturday of Labor Day weekend and had 2" grass babies 2 weeks later. Rest of the lawn was a jungle. Looking at Facebook posts and it looks like my lawn in Indiana got 6"+ of rain in last 2 days. Getting ready for my next round of fert and N-ext products in prep for Halloween domination. Should be interesting to see what JTLK has about the rain in his next video.
@@TheLawnCareNut Thanks..I did my process on 9-26-19 and I've been watering 3 times daily ( about 10 minutes each time) and I am in process of trying to get my water bill as big as I can for next 15-20 days. - New grass has started to break through !
As we see 4 feet of snow here in Montana we also see 65 degrees in other areas in the state. So we also live dangerously. Late season fert before the snow fall it is. lol
Got my "Carbon X" and will be throwing it down October 1. Incidentally, last December, a city water pipe burst, the city came out immediately repaired the pipe and just threw some seed down. What surprised me is that most of that seed germinated (in December!!!). This tells me that I can probably continue to "throw 'er down" until December (at least)? (Oh yeah: I live in Redmond WA.)
Question.. is it ok to put down a fall fertilizer on top of seed, or do you need a starter fertilizer? I want to seed a few spots this fall and not sure if the fertilizer will kill the seed. Thank you
@LCN another fantastic scout, looks like you have to be a LCN to dominate your neighbourhood. In the UK were having a wash out and I’m just waiting to mow. Keep up the content and thank you
I live in SoCal. I’m renting a house, and the previous renter didn’t take care of the lawn. So what should I be throwing down? The lawn is somewhat damaged and I have two types of lawn. Help please
Hmmmm...well, here goes. I live in Georgia (zone 7), and I broadcasted annual rye grass on my summer grasses. Instead of using an autumn, pre-emergent to attack my poa annua and dallas grass. Which have taken over most of my lawn. I did that because I didn't have a beautifully, green lawn during the summer. Because we've been in a drought all spring and summer (3-4 months). My lawn looked horrible. Although, I had a huge water bill, from watering twice a week, for many weeks. Hence, come spring, will I regret not using a pre-emergent to reduce my weed population (at least 50% of my lawn)???
Nice lawn Hane! I just moved into a new home earlier this September here in DFW and the sod the builder laid down is acting very weird. I water the lawn 1” per week two times a week. I applied Carbon X and Dithiopyr two weeks ago and the lawn looks the same. I mow twice a week for the past four weeks I’ve lived at the house with a manual reel mower around 1.25” too, so I’m not stressing the bermudagrass at all. Any suggestions to improve my lawn? I’m planning to get the Bio-Stimulant pack to help the lawn going into the fall. Thanks
Holy cow Allyn. This XSTART is amazing! Remember Hunter Green from the 90's? That's what my lawn looks like. I had to lower the setting for my neighbors yard because I was running out and it still dominated the other neighborhood who used full dose Scott's . I only regret that it's out of stock.
Than go Carbon X as a substitute, that stuff is also the shizznit. First time Ive ever used is it this fall and my entire yard is still dark green and its looking better in October than any other time in 18 years I'm in my house. Even my 3/4 zoysia front yard (I cant WAIT to burn out the front yard for a KBG fescue mix) is still green, here in the northeast US where its in the high 60s and 40's night, when zoysia is dormant. It even took the Milo for the first time in the front only and both yards look deep green, despite no Milo drop in the back.
My grass in the backyard is patchy but for the most part it’s almost like a fire went through it and burnt the grass (no fires tho except the Texas sun lol) Not sure where to start at this point for the back yard
Is there a risk of burning new seedlings if I apply a low Nitrogen fertilizer just when the grass starts to sprout. Have a few areas where Ive over seeded but Id like to get one last application down on the lawn
Heat has still been in mid to high 80s here in NJ, I had to push my over-seed and aeration back to the first week in October. Any further benefit To mulch fallen leaves back into lawn?
I seeded early just so that I can push and spray weeds, well sort of..I did because I wanted the grass to mature as much as it could this year. Soil temps are close to 60 and it’s already slowing down :-(. Let the nitrogen blitz continue.
I’m in the Bay Area and will be aerating and reseeding reseeding in the next week or two. Does anyone know if you can use milorganite as a starter fertilizer ?
How do you go about putting down seed/milo when every weekend up North (NJ) I have to leaf blow my yard. Should I wait until all the leaves have fallen before over seeding and applying Milorganite?
What do i do if i have a yard thats all spurge? New home, yard hasnt been cared for in years and the weeds are so out of control i have no idea where to start. South florida
start with pre-emergent - you can pick up Sunniland at Lowes. You can kill spurge with Image for Southern Lawns (purple label) - but it will take a few applications.
Big Al , we are seriously looking at going to Orlando next year , apparently there is some theme park there or something . If I can get a day away for the family , can I drive to you and have a beer in the lawn with you ? Cutting LCNs lawn on holiday would be awesome ! You are not that far away from Orlando I think !!!
I’m in southern KY and temperatures still in mid 90’s ground temperature is still 85 or so... my lawn is irrigated when do you suggest I should reseed?
Wife and I just bought a house in the Florida panhandle. Have ground moles like crazy. Grass is very patchy and mostly just weeds. I have a mix of shade and sun soaked areas. Any advice on what I can do this Fall? I'm hoping to tackle a renovation next year but I have some stumps and roots that need removed and I think I'm getting late in the season to do much this year.
LCN, I also have St. Augustine grass, but mine has stolons growing on top of the grass that I am constantly pulling out by hand. I noticed on your yard you do not seem to have stolons climbing across the top of your lawn. What do you do with stolon's that grow on top of your lawn but are low enough that the mower does not cut them out?
I live in MD and had one of the best looking tall fescue lawns and now it looks totally brown from drought. I can't aerate and seed due to budget constraints. Can I do it in the spring instead?
Hey Allyn, can I throw down Lesco 24-0-11 fertilizer and the Dithiopyr Pre-Emergent at the same time? Or do I need to stagger the application? One day fert the other pre-emergent? I did not see anything in the guide. Thanks!
If you have at least 30% turfgrass there, then this is what I recommend thelawncarenut.com/collections/digital/products/cool-season-turf-hybrid-organic-lawn-program
GREAT❤️ Pelagius look like little macral or bluefish .. up here off the coast of New Jersey of course I'm in land> Quakertown PA .. Nice - just getting involved with the neighbor line fall renovation put a little tenacity in the mix It's looking like Wednesday will bring some color with rain for mother nature hopefully...
Hey Allyn, what about the Starter Fertilizer that was thrown down during the overseed? Would that suffice as a Nitrogen app or should another application be thrown down after 30 days?
Hello! I love your channel and I'm learning a lot from you! I am very new to lawn care and I am not sure about the amount of nitrogen to put down from Sept to last fall app when I have to overseed in September. I have a bag of Scotts Starter Fertilizer 24-25-4 and an organic fert 9-2-2. If I put these down with seeds in Sept (1~1.5 lbs of N), Can I put down 3/4 lbs of N every 4 weeks until the last fall app ? I am a bit lost. I would appreciate if you could help me with this. Thank you!
I live in Livonia (suburb of Detroit), MI... I’m going to power rake and aerate my lawn this Saturday... Can I seed after that, or is it too late for me? Or do I just start throwing down the triple 19 every 4 weeks and seed in the early spring?
brandon smith I’m in Michigan and seeded 3 weeks ago. Temps are already cooling and germination taking longer. I would save your seed and just use the fertilizer.
@@TheLawnCareNut thank you very just one more thing the clover weed looks like growing rapidly and my question is wait until 35th day or the 2nd mowing to put down weed killers or whats best advice would you give me
Hard to mow or fertilize with a soggy lawn. About 8 inches of rain in under 2 weeks. Pretty sure all the seed I threw down washed away. Killing me not being able to mow.
Off topic (somewhat) , old house had amazing St. Augustine that I laid myself, but new house looks bad. Lol. I'm planning on killing what I have now (weeds and such) and laying St. Augustine. I'm in the dallas area so wondering if now in October is a good time to lay it to get the roots started? Thanks again
The Lawn Care Nut thanks! I have a Super Recycler that is 12 years old and works great! But a 30 inch would cut my time by 50% which would be nice. Thanks for getting back to me.
Kinda Funny...I'm in Dallas, Texas in the transition zone...half of my yard warm season (St. Aug) and half cool season (turf type tall fescue) with some corners of Bermuda...quite the sample platter --- Had to watch the whole vid!
Question from Australia. Do you ever scalp or vertimow/groom your grass. Its pretty popular here to get rid of the thatch. I've never seen you do it and your lawn looks awesome
I'm using a 24-0-4 but you can use anything you like. If you have a soil test, that will dictate what would be even more specific to your site. Otherwise, get something with N and K. Usually don't need Phos in Florida (where most of the St aug is grown)
same here, south MS. I slowed my watering anticipating rain and we got a drought instead , plus on top of spot spraying for weeds really nuked my hot spots near the road.
Same here. I noticed it in time and now I'm watering more frequently, the end result is my lawn is the greenest in the entire neighborhood. Water bills are over 120$ though
I have seen no more mounds. I don’t want to dig up the areas where I covered the worms to check if they are gone because I overseeded and don’t want to disturb the baby grass any further.
We have a severe drought in Louisville, KY. Any recommendations on what to do as October historically has been a dry month in the area? I reseeded last week and have been watering three times a day. Still having 90 degree + temps. Grass is growing, but don't want to stress it if with milo if the heat is too high without natural/rain watering.
Does anyone else compete with record high temperatures after aerating and over seeding? This is becoming a yearly tradition. Hopefully I can pay off the water bill before Christmas. lol Kinda.
Always great. You keep me motivated. You are the LAWNCOACH
Thanks so much for the shout out Mr Nut!!

So jealous right now lol

I don't know why 6:49 was so hilarious, but I had to replay it 5 times. 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the tips.
Are there any communities left that allow Bahia grass? Most HOA's don't anymore.

Bro, we haven't seen rain in my area for about 7 weeks and the Texas heat is no joke...54 days of triple digit temps!!!
I have just experienced domination, after overseeding and (over)watering. Sweet success!
Nice!
The rain just won't stop. It's a battle to get the low arias and the leaves are behind because of all the rain. What a mess in the north.
Allen just wanted to let you know I throughly enjoy your You Tube Channel. I have learned so much from you.

That underwater shark footage was awesome! Tell Reel low dad I say wassssaaaaapppppp!
please figure out the mole and do videos of it and how to kill them i have tried everything besides waiting until i see them ground moving my lawn is getting so mest up from them
From what I understand they make spikes you push down into the ground over the tunned and it appears them as they pass
I need help with moles too. Been dealing with them for 4 years! :(
I have used everything and I can't get them killed I mean I have tried everything
@@llmphotos I think only way it to spend hours and watch the ground until it moves and shovel them out I don't have time for that
In central FL. Lawn was green (zoysia) mowed 2 days ago and now brown. What did I do wrong and what can I do to fix/repair. Nothing has changed in my routine and am going to apply last fertilization on OCT 1. Really don’t want the HOA on me so I’m also looking for winter and dormant tips for Zoysia. Thanks in advance.

What is the lesser of two evils? Leaving the yard long before snow or making ruts in your lawn trying to mow it. The rain just won't stop.
On Day 20 I threw down Milo after basically a new seeding. 30 days or 2 mowings pfft what do you know Al?

Your order works just fine. Water it all in together.

you can throw down as long as the ground isn't frozen and the lawn is still actively growing, even if slowly.
Recommended a year later one week before October. Thanks TH-cam

I just reseeded my tall fescue and I put down miloganite the area is about 1000 square feet was I supposed to put down starter fertilizer??
not required but it does help. Water is the most important thing - keep it wet.

I've got one to get out too, stay tuned!
Is there a risk of burning new seedlings if I apply a low Nitrogen fertilizer just when the grass starts to sprout. Have a few areas where Ive over seeded but Id like to get one last application down on the lawn
could be so best to let it wait until you mow a couple times
Heat has still been in mid to high 80s here in NJ, I had to push my over-seed and aeration back to the first week in October. Any further benefit
To mulch fallen leaves back into lawn?
if you can get them into small bits mulching is just fine but if they get too thick best to rake them off
I just over seeded how long should i wait before putting down pre-emergents ? Thanks
They are all different so read the label on the product you have but typically 30 days or two mowings
The Lawn Care Nut thank you brother
I seeded early just so that I can push and spray weeds, well sort of..I did because I wanted the grass to mature as much as it could this year. Soil temps are close to 60 and it’s already slowing down :-(.

The Lawn Care Nut Thanks I’ll check it out I don’t want a large compressor, just one big enough to do the job properly
Love the videos, Suffolk UK
I live in MD and had one of the best looking tall fescue lawns and now it looks totally brown from drought. I can't aerate and seed due to budget constraints. Can I do it in the spring instead?
Hey Allyn, can I throw down Lesco 24-0-11 fertilizer and the Dithiopyr Pre-Emergent at the same time? Or do I need to stagger the application? One day fert the other pre-emergent? I did not see anything in the guide. Thanks!
I live in a state where the dithipoyr cant be shipped to, what should I buy?
See what Home Depot has on the shelves already.
What is recommended to do for cold season grass if your lawn has a very high rate of weeds with some grass, cut low and overseed?
If you have at least 30% turfgrass there, then this is what I recommend thelawncarenut.com/collections/digital/products/cool-season-turf-hybrid-organic-lawn-program
I live in St Pete, is November too late to fertilize?
Do you seed St. Augustine grass? I have St. Augustine grass in Ca. but I have never heard of seeding it.
No seed is available for St Aug. Must be grown from sod or plugs.
@@TheLawnCareNut Okay that's what I thought! Thanks LCN.
GREAT❤️
Pelagius look like little macral or bluefish .. up here off the coast of New Jersey of course I'm in land>
Quakertown PA .. Nice - just getting involved with the neighbor line fall renovation put a little tenacity in the mix
It's looking like Wednesday will bring some color with rain for mother nature hopefully...
spanish mackerel and some kings. 4 miles off shore St Pete Beach
Hey Allyn, what about the Starter Fertilizer that was thrown down during the overseed? Would that suffice as a Nitrogen app or should another application be thrown down after 30 days?
Throw down again after 30 days
Hello! I love your channel and I'm learning a lot from you! I am very new to lawn care and I am not sure about the amount of nitrogen to put down from Sept to last fall app when I have to overseed in September. I have a bag of Scotts Starter Fertilizer 24-25-4 and an organic fert 9-2-2. If I put these down with seeds in Sept (1~1.5 lbs of N), Can I put down 3/4 lbs of N every 4 weeks until the last fall app ? I am a bit lost. I would appreciate if you could help me with this. Thank you!
I'm back for YET another week!
I live in Livonia (suburb of Detroit), MI... I’m going to power rake and aerate my lawn this Saturday... Can I seed after that, or is it too late for me?
Or do I just start throwing down the triple 19 every 4 weeks and seed in the early spring?
brandon smith I’m in Michigan and seeded 3 weeks ago. Temps are already cooling and germination taking longer. I would save your seed and just use the fertilizer.
I have a question... im did my new lawn project 12th day after seeding all my yard is growing clover weed. Why is that happening?
there were probably some clover seeds in the soil or the seed mix you used had clover seed in it which does happen
@@TheLawnCareNut thank you very just one more thing the clover weed looks like growing rapidly and my question is wait until 35th day or the 2nd mowing to put down weed killers or whats best advice would you give me
Hard to mow or fertilize with a soggy lawn. About 8 inches of rain in under 2 weeks. Pretty sure all the seed I threw down washed away. Killing me not being able to mow.
Can you seend some of that rain my way? lol
Don Limbargo I wish. More rain tonight and tomorrow. Did quite a bit of damage to my backyard mowing yesterday.
Great stuff!
Off topic (somewhat) , old house had amazing St. Augustine that I laid myself, but new house looks bad. Lol. I'm planning on killing what I have now (weeds and such) and laying St. Augustine. I'm in the dallas area so wondering if now in October is a good time to lay it to get the roots started? Thanks again
YOUR RIGHT ON THAT MOLE CRAP!! THAT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN U HAVE GOOD TURF. LOTS OF WORMS
Great video! Nice job and it’s not too fast!
Looking into a TimeMaster for northern grasses in Maine? Any hesitation?
Thanks.
Ronald Parrish thanks!
I love mine. I a Toro guy all the way even now.
The Lawn Care Nut thanks! I have a Super Recycler that is 12 years old and works great! But a 30 inch would cut my time by 50% which would be nice. Thanks for getting back to me.
MOLES! Thought that was just a Missouri thing. LOL.
this one picked the wrong lawn for sure ha ha!
@@TheLawnCareNut I should have checked for moles before using liquid aerator last month...tunnels for miles! Moles are jerks!
Kinda Funny...I'm in Dallas, Texas in the transition zone...half of my yard warm season (St. Aug) and half cool season (turf type tall fescue) with some corners of Bermuda...quite the sample platter --- Had to watch the whole vid!
Question from Australia. Do you ever scalp or vertimow/groom your grass. Its pretty popular here to get rid of the thatch. I've never seen you do it and your lawn looks awesome
Just moved from MN to Northern FL. I used Milorganite 3x per year up north, would you recommend an application now for St. Augustine Grass?
yes right now is a great time for it where you are - make sure you are irrigating - we have been dry the last few weeks
Where can I buy Pro-Vista StAugstine sod near Ocala Florida.
Call Big Earth in Tampa - they will get some to you.
What NPK do you recommend in the the fertilizer for ST Augustine in the fall?
I'm using a 24-0-4 but you can use anything you like. If you have a soil test, that will dictate what would be even more specific to your site. Otherwise, get something with N and K. Usually don't need Phos in Florida (where most of the St aug is grown)
This heat been killing my grass in Georgia
hang in there! it will level out soon.
It's tough...gotta keep up that watering!
same here, south MS. I slowed my watering anticipating rain and we got a drought instead , plus on top of spot spraying for weeds really nuked my hot spots near the road.
Same here. I noticed it in time and now I'm watering more frequently, the end result is my lawn is the greenest in the entire neighborhood. Water bills are over 120$ though
The Lawn Care Nut now it’s in the 70s lol
I found mole mounds this week too! Luckily I quickly put down those tomcat worms...no more mounds 😂
I'm thinking that is what I need to do too.
Virgil Melvin they worked for you? Battling moles bad, looking for a remedy
I have seen no more mounds. I don’t want to dig up the areas where I covered the worms to check if they are gone because I overseeded and don’t want to disturb the baby grass any further.
Virgil Melvin mannn I need to do that
We have a severe drought in Louisville, KY. Any recommendations on what to do as October historically has been a dry month in the area? I reseeded last week and have been watering three times a day. Still having 90 degree + temps. Grass is growing, but don't want to stress it if with milo if the heat is too high without natural/rain watering.
Did you figure out if it was a mole? I may have one too over here in Texas.
I'm still looking for it. So not sure quite yet.
Does anyone else compete with record high temperatures after aerating and over seeding? This is becoming a yearly tradition. Hopefully I can pay off the water bill before Christmas. lol Kinda.
I plan on putting down a shit ton of Carbon-X, far more than is responsible. :-P
Keep it light and apply more frequently - not all at once.
