I'm not ready to start all of this stuff back up!!! Working a desk job all day and then coming home and doing lawn stuff until after dark really gets old! It's only February, Doc! I'm an hour from you and we still have a good shot at freezing temps and snow until April! That grass sure is green, though, so I guess you know what you're doing! Enjoy that sunshine for me!
Doc, I enjoy watching your videos . I learn a lot . Love your farm. Can tell us how you got started when you were growing up and what things you developed as an entrepreneur. Would love to know more of your background and business. What’s your real name?😂 Your videos are educational and keeps me in check and my interest taking care of my lawn. My lawn needs work but I’m learning. I love the outdoors.
So Doc, is all that beautiful grass gonna survive the GA heat this summer. I'm so jealous seeing your deep green lawns while my zoysia is brown and dead looking
Doc, thought I would seek your advice on something - the trees are down and am expecting my tree guy to be at the house within the next week or two to remove the stumps. Once he has I can finally run a soil test and apply my granular Dimension. My Bermuda lawn has grown thin in places from all of the shade and I really not in great enough shape to pull plugs from. I plan on leveling the lawn come May/June. How can I help the grass fill in the area where the stumps have been removed and how will leveling affect my pre-emergent? Front Lawn - 3,350 Sq Ft.
I’m in Maryland and My back yard is shaded fairly good due to a beautiful weeping Willow tree and isn’t nearly as full or thick as I’d like what’s a seed you all would recommend because tall fescue doesn’t seem to be working
Thanks Doc. Bermuda grass here ... so slow / no start 25" Mclane reel mower needs assistance. You mentioned a few drops of gas directly in the carburetor and the pull and repeat if needed. How would "Mechanic in a bottle" do for that? Should it go in the gas tank instead? I switched last year to No Ethanol gas.
It's probably just gummed up carb. Few drops in carb, no choke. Repeat a few times and it will suck out the gummed. Then clean with carb cleaner spray.
@HowTowithDoc Many thanks. I will try it. I took the 2020 reel mower in last summer and they replaced my carburetor saying Honda recommends that instead of cleaning out all the carb. Hummm. must be due to the time and labor charge.
Hey doc, look, I loved to meet you in person. Shake your hand, I've learned a lot just by following you and taking interest on your lawn addvise. I have a question about wild onions. If you can give me some direction, I need to be in. My thought was to hit it directly now with round up. I can spot treat it now, but every year, it seems to be growing bigger/spreading
Very few "full shade" tolerant grasses that actually grow well. (especially warm season) Best to google them and research based on what is there now. Maybe mix in a shade tolerant rye.
Can you please help me. Where can I buy 20-5-10 that we have been following since your video years ago for fertilizer, it seems as though no one has it except lesco and they are always out.
Did u feed spoon your lawn during winter? Or was it a warm winter? I ask this because it looks very nice and you must have done something to it in winter, like fertilizing
Had to GOOGLE my butt off but eventually found some years ago. They only work with the billygoat FYI. Example arlingtonpower.com/products/billy-goat-381151-3-8-solid-replacement-tines-pl
Doc, I know sand leveling is best done when grass is growing full speed. I just burned off all the dormant grass and was thinking that it sure would be a great time to level with no grass in the way. What say you?
By burned off, do you mean you killed your existing lawn and plan to start a new one from seed? If yes, then it would be a great time to level the lawn first before putting the seed down.
I have Emerald Zoysia. It is completely mature. I live in Atlanta, Georgia area. When I do aerate in a few months, what kind of sand do I use to do some leveling?? Should I level before I fertilize or can it be done at the same time? Should I be doing complete core aeration or some other kind??

Try working a blue collar job then coming home and doing lawn stuff ;)
Man you are ahead of the game I like it!!! Already testing your irrigation!!!
Dude, Doc's already talking aeration, doing reel mowing and the likes and I still have snow on my grass...
Looks like you need to clean off the snow and get that first mow in ASAP. 😂😂😂
Here in SE TX, I fertilized last week, and my Bermuda is greening up quickly with afternoon highs 80°F+. All depends on latitude, I guess.
Mow the snow 😂
In montana myself, we have snow on the forecast and I'm just looking at my lawn like it's teasing me in Lingerie.
Been watching for a while now. My wife said I’m slowly turning into Doc. Still waiting on the ladybug video.

Love to know how much your Anderson’s lawn stuff you spend each season

We'll see. Free water helps.
No free water in my area scares me this summer

Would u ever take pgf complete and melt it down to be able to make a liquid spray out of it for better pattern
Hey Doc. How is the lawn doing on the house you sold? I bet it doesn't look like what it did.
Pretty much feel like I should leave them alone and give them privacy... but my son was in the area and said it looked "ok".
Planning on aerating and power racking my lawn. Which do I do first? BTW, I have clay soil.
I would do the aeration last as the holes will fill right back up.

They make more shade tolerant varieties, just google them. However, if it's full shade it's going to be tough.

If you are in the NE Georgia you should call Reel Works in Auburn Georgia. They will pick up and deliver. I have used them and they are great.
@@jimmymiller4732 Thanks Jimmy. Wish I had a Reel Works in my area near Charlotte.
Do you have advice for San Augustine grass? Dethatching and aerating particularly?
DOC you the man!
Thanks Doc.

Depends on the type of lawn... see products here and read labels www.domyown.com/search?w=wild%20onion
I'm curious about the EZ Go. How long will it run before you have to charge it?
Not as long as they state. We only get about 5000 sq feet.
Central TX and we hit 80* today. What seed should I use with a large live oak in center. Can I seed now? Or wait for ground to get to a temp?
Very few "full shade" tolerant grasses that actually grow well. (especially warm season) Best to google them and research based on what is there now. Maybe mix in a shade tolerant rye.
@@HowTowithDoc Thanks, 81 today & 70's for March. lows in 60's.
I had my soil tested, and it's 69%silt ,22% compost & 9% clay .What can I use to improve my yard?
I live in Columbus ohio
How do I turn my weed fillled lawn into this? I would say my lawn is 85 percent weeds
Can you please help me. Where can I buy 20-5-10 that we have been following since your video years ago for fertilizer, it seems as though no one has it except lesco and they are always out.
How do you feel about burning off Bermuda grass in early spring?
The problem... when the fire gets out of control... and your neighbor sues you. Just a bit risky but it can be done.
Did u feed spoon your lawn during winter? Or was it a warm winter? I ask this because it looks very nice and you must have done something to it in winter, like fertilizing
Also, what height of cut did you use in this video?
Just a little green shocker and the cut was about 1.5
Doc, where did you get the solid tines for your aerator???
Had to GOOGLE my butt off but eventually found some years ago. They only work with the billygoat FYI. Example arlingtonpower.com/products/billy-goat-381151-3-8-solid-replacement-tines-pl
Doc can i use the basic fertilizer you're using even if i got a high phosphorus??
Use PGF zero phos.

If yes, then it would be a great time to level the lawn first before putting the seed down.
The only problem you'll face with leveling now is heavy rains and the movement of the bare soil, sand, and leveling mix.
I have Emerald Zoysia. It is completely mature. I live in Atlanta, Georgia area. When I do aerate in a few months, what kind of sand do I use to do some leveling?? Should I level before I fertilize or can it be done at the same time? Should I be doing complete core aeration or some other kind??
Use all-purpose sand. I'm not sure about fertilizing before or after the top dressing though. I would guess fertilize after the top dressing.
Doc is that the type of grass you going to stick with?
No more Bermuda?
We'll see. Bermuda is on pond.
Recommended grass seed for southeastern Virginia?
Thanks Doc!
please show the reel mowing around the tree ring and-or along the stone edging; helps to better explain reel mowing like a regular mower
Shown here... th-cam.com/video/Bej7o7bomm8/w-d-xo.html
What kind of spreader do you use?
I've linked to a good one on that page. The one I use has gone up too much in price.
So, I put down cool grass sod in October. Should I spike aerate or not bc it’s so new.
If it's a billygoat it's fine. If it's a ROLLER type then it might pull up some sod.
Doc, what model is the billy goat you use? Thanks.
I think it's called the Pluggr 18 www.acmetools.com/billy-goat-18-plugr-reciprocating-aerator-pl1803v/416018000633.html
Thanks Doc. 🤙🏽
Was that an exaggeration or do have you actually used your aerator almost once a month?
We try and SPIKE every 4-8 weeks.
do you recommend tru green
No. If you have a small local company talk to them.
@@mitchbird6146 dang really ?
Reel mower is like driving a car. Don't look right in front of the hood, look off into the distance. Otherwise your lines will be crooked.
❤❤
I can do that
Too late for me.
Love the videos, can't stand watching that ego mower. Just get rid of that thing
I know... thinking of getting the honda up here from the beach house.
