Thanks to you I've turned my lawn which was mostly dandelion, crabgrass and other weeds into one of the greenest in the neighbourhood. Thanks for the informative videos! Keep it up!
Followed same steps. Wish I did this sooner. Soil test came back the same, very low on potash. Ever since putting that down, yard came back green and thick very quickly. Note, gave my test results to a my lawn guy since large qtys of potash isn't easy to purchase at big box stores.
Here a local company is providing kelp meal for fast acting potassium, it's also sold as sand aid for sand based golf greens, for long lasting they offer Jersey greensand, both are granular.
My Phosphorous was 14.42 on a 2 year old lawn on a 2 year old property that never had anything done to it after the sod was installed. We just have massive amounts of phosphorous in our soil in Florida.
I just started with yard stuff cause quarantine was driving me crazy. Its great exercise and fun. I did Milo app a few weeks ago and the lawn already looks great. Look forward to learning more! In AZ.
most creative unboxing I've ever seen. I've enjoyed this channel for some time now. I also just used the baby shampoo trick when I sprayed clover and it worked slick. thanks!
Hey Allyn my first app. In the spring here in Oklahoma is always 18-46-0. Most of our soil here is low of 46. Then later on I us 34 0 0works very well!
Nice work Al - seems like it has been a long time since we had a true LCN video, getting through these winter months are tough. You gotta throw in some mowing clips in for us north.
Omg “throw er down!” I have always wondered when our lawn company left the note on our door saying all the things they did to our lawn (Throw er down!) and potash was written down. My wife and I always shrugged our shoulders and scratched our heads (Throw er down!) now we know!
You should use an Ortho hose end sprayer. It has adjustments that make it very easy to mix settings ranging from a half ounce to 8 ounces per gallon of water.
lcn why don't they just have this at loews? I didn't see it on their website. You should partner with them and create a LCN section with all your products!
here's a question for you, is there a bit more simple method to maybe not "dominate" but to get a "semi-decent" more "set and forget" lawn? Just got back from deployment so i'm just now getting to do lawn stuff, but I travel a lot. i'd like to keep my lawn looking fairly decent, but not go all out. I have a built in irrigation, but need to fix it (guy who I paid to blow it out before i left, didn't do it right so it froze and cracked over winter) I'd like my wife to be able to maybe mow once or twice a week herself, maybe handle the auto-irrigation, and maybe put down some fert at most. I'm in NJ, and I have to deal with some major problems, seems I have a bit of moss and lavender, as well as crabgrass and other issues i'm working on. I probably need to aerate, and dethatch, prob do some of that this weekend. near a large wooded area so a lot of the weeds come out from there and my neighbor who doesn't take care of their lawn at all. also have a dog, and I don't/can't expect my wife to not just let her go to the bathroom in the lawn -- rather force dog to go somewhere else, but she keeps it to back yard so there is that. any help/recommendations?
sure, throw down Milorganite 5x per year and mow when it needs it. You'll have a nice green patch of "stuff" all year long. No one says you have to have a 100% weed free lawn -- weeds are green too when you fertilize them too.
LCN AKA BIG AL. Was just revisiting your snowblower reviews. do miss the blistering cold of north at all. keep up the great content. and a happy holidays from wisconsin. p.s. temp right now with out wind chill is. -4 lol
how do u thinken St. Augustine grass if it's very thin ... laid sod about 6 months ago and watered now it's almost just Bair dirt ... reseed with rye grass still won't grow ... gets about 5 to 6 hrs of sun a day ....watered like instructed
What state are you in? This is Sebastian from Solutions. If you want to call me on the number Allyn posted in the description we can try to find a solution. I'm in the office until 6pm CST.
Great video as usual! Love the channel. I just moved into a new house and the prior owner put Bermuda seed down in the fescue lawn (SE Virginia). The Bermuda has taken over in the front yard where it gets the most sunlight, but not in the sides or rear where it's nice and shaded. I'm trying to eradicate it and go back to all fescue. Any advice?
Allyn, Allyn, Allyn. Wine is not the answer my friend! It's the solution for what you are seeking. Use the cheap stuff 🍇(Welches) and drink the good stuff! 🍷
Why didn't you use your weed sprayer for the potash application? Can't you just mix 4oz liquid potash to 1gallon of water and "throw'er down!", twice for 1000 sqft?
I noticed your hose sprayer is very basic. I picked one up for 10 bucks that allows you to adjust the oz of product per gallon. I use a hand sprayer for everything now after watching your videos. Way better!
$30.00 for a simple soil test?!?😱 $6.00 for me. 😇 Clemson University extension office. (You know Clemson, 2016 National Football Champions) Free bags. Drop it off. Email the results in about 7~10 days. BAM!!!!!!!! 🤦🏼♂️Too much calcium in my soil. 🤒 And that's it! 🤗 Now back to our local programming ............
Your pH is 5.12!!?? Target should be 6.3-6.8 for healthy turfgrass. Also, P is very immobile in the soil, so dont take the soil test ppm at face value. I usually divide the test number by 12 to get whats actually available to the plant..
Allyn, I have to say, I really dislike you right now. Everyone's lawn in my neighborhood is brown and dormant and I'm still having to mow mine every weekend. It's still super green and growing like crazy. (Insert sarcasm)
Your better off with a hand can sprayer. Your wasting time and money. What about Lime do you use Lime to bring up the PH? What is the PH in your water that you are using?
The Lawn Care Nut yeah wasting time dominating. the lady next door has no plants or trees and she has told me when she sees me working on my lawn that its to much work thats why she has nothing in her lawn. but she has to walk her dogs in the rain.

I have heard of beer on the lawn but wine?!? This is a new level of domination!

LMAO!!

Thanks Allen. I always learn something from your videos.
I love it!
The Lawn Care Nut did you make the spread sheet for the soil sample or is that how it came? I would like to get my hands on that template.

I put a golf ball in my hose end sprayer to keep solutions mixed up,tip in a jerry baker book.

You should do a video on How to keep your Christmas Tree healthy and not dry out during the Holidays
I just did my fall cleanup and ground is frozen in shady areas. Living in northeast sucks. I'm jealous
John R
Try it with 9" of snow... Southeastern Michigan
Nothing like that in Rhode Island.....yet
John R
It was lake effect from Lake Michigan.
LCN, is it okay to throw down liquid potash if the grass is wet?
oh the suspense!!! Looking forward to seeing how it works.
You make awesome videos. Thank you!
Hey here. Your videos are awesome! I have taken charge of maintaining my grass and am lost. I live in Orlando. Any kind of schedule you recommend?
I need help with moles. Gig harbor, WA. What chemicals can I use to rid them in my lawn?
Where do you get your soil test done at?

what about a Milo/ringer combo program, where both have n, and each has p or k?
I was considering the exact same thing. That, or occasionally using some starter fertilizer in the fall which appears to contain everything.
Jeff M. Alan, can you please respond to this? This was my plan this year, too.
Where can I get that weed burner?
Any recommendations for a Potassium source that won't raise my already high pH soil?

The Lawn Care Nut will give her a try...THROWER DOWN!

I'm in GA with bermuda that is already dormant, is there a "best time" to do the soil test?
you can do it now, anytime is good

Wine in the lawn!! This dudes crazy!! Lol
I noticed your hose sprayer is very basic. I picked one up for 10 bucks that allows you to adjust the oz of product per gallon. I use a hand sprayer for everything now after watching your videos. Way better!
My lawn has high sodium. Twice the recommended amount. How do I reduce the sodium?
Gypsum!
I gasped when you wasted that wine in your spayer... My wife would be so upset if she knew!

What do you do with the empty bottles of propane ?
I take them to my Dad's place and we shoot them with rifles
lol
Is frankinlawn old enough for that adult beverage lmao
Where'd ya get that soil test done?
It is in one of the previous videos. I think it was the first trip to South Carolina a few weeks ago, maybe a month ago
Hotrod Hog ahh thanks I see it is Soil Savvy! He should drop a link to the product for all.

I tried the number you have listed for Solutions Self Chem and it did not work. Do you happen to have another contact number?
Allyn, I have to say, I really dislike you right now. Everyone's lawn in my neighborhood is brown and dormant and I'm still having to mow mine every weekend. It's still super green and growing like crazy. (Insert sarcasm)
You said you were watering every other day. When is watering too much? Aren't you afraid of your nutes leaching past the root zone?

Alcohol abuse!!!

Needs serious editing
