You stopped me from dethatching, I was planning on doing today in a couple of spots! Thank you 🙏
If it’s a couple of spots that water and fertilizer is not getting down to the soil, you should still dethatch. If there isn’t anything wrong, you should wait.
Yup. Good call. Spring or Fall is best time for that.
A fellow hand waterer - Noice! My neighbours think I'm mad watering with a hose, but I much prefer it! It's really hot where I am now... but we've just had 6 weeks of heavy rain. When watering by hand, I quickly found areas where the soil is still saturated, even though it was close to 40C (104F). With a sprinkler/irrigation system, I probably wouldn't spot that until puddles appear... unless you're watching the process, but then you might as well just water by hand anyway lol.
...I would love the convenience of an irrigation system that I can just chuck on for 30mins though - Contradicting myself massively 😆
I ordered a 82' Hoselink a couple months ago based on your recommendation. Great system to water my garden, spot treat areas in my yard, and general cleaning duties. I added another base and hose extension to my order. This allows me to quickly move the system from my back to front yard. Thank you for highlighting this hose system, it is truly a great product.
Did you buy it online? Could you share the web site if possible? Thank you!
@@isabelcastillo2394 I’ve got a link to it in the description box for all products mentioned
Just put down my second round of the Whisperer pack and the grass is looking greener than ever! Kudos to u my brother thanks for helping a new homeowner rejuvenate his lawn!
Yep. He knows his stuff. Been doing this exact routine the last 2 summers and my yard looks great. Thanks.
What's your opinion on mid-summer treatments (e.g., Scott's Summer Guard)? Also, if you missed the summer treatment in July, should you just skip doing anything such as Lawn Food/Liquid Nitrogen until fall and just stick to a summer watering schedule? Thanks.
First Aussie 😁. Great advice Justin, I notice you tugging your hose more gently now than in earlier videos, less stress on the hose , it will perform and last for longer now . 😬
welp i did the exact two things you said to not do at the end of the video .... scalped it early in the spring (and didn't treat it) -> dumping a bunch of product to try and force things to fix themselves (though this doesn't seem to be much of an issue? Had/have a fungus / grub / dry spot problem ...
Do lawns come back on their own in the fall?
Used hydretein this year for the first time. Imported it from US. Amazing stuff Jesus christ. I water half inch every 5 days and that is enough to keep my lawn super green! Our summer nights have 80-100% humidity so that is maybe why it helps so much and let me water barely nothing.
Our temps are 20-25c so not too hot like some of you get during summer
It is pretty awesome stuff.
@@BrodeyDoverosx Yup, that stuff is a secrete, shhh. Expensive but worth it and does work.
Add Hydretain to your flower beds and flower pots. I have a pot with three dahlias. I water before work and 8-10 hours later, the soil isn’t bone dry.
Love your videos. Awesome Job
Several members of TLF helped me with some oncoming drought stress from my two mature maple trees. 15-20 minutes spraying the drip line around big trees will help a lot.
Thanks my friend, feeling comfy at the moment but always appreciate a tip
Thank you for the great advice. I’ll be checking into the products you suggested.
At the beginning of this summer, I signed up for Scott's program where they use your zip code and google maps (to determine the size of your application area) and then they send you the products you need at the time you need to apply them.
In general it's for different types of applications throughout the summer, ending with aerating and over-seeding in fall (early October here in Minnesota).
To me, it looks like you don't use that type of product.
This summer is the first year I'm spending more personal time and focus on the lawn after living here 24 years. We had a company spray from time to time with basic - but not dramatic - results. Using Scott's program and some mowing tips, I'm noticing more results almost from the outset.
Cool Channel.
Are you a lawn care "professional" or a home-owner, lawn enthusiast?
Do you have a video on when and how you water your shrubs and flowers?
Hey was that your new yard at the end of the video? When do we get to see your new house?? Can't wait no more!! 😁
Just ordered your dab pac. Excited to get some Sanctuary down, and some iron.
It's never a complete video until ya see Justin tugging on his hose at some point.... 🤣🤣
Ya. Dont want a dry hose
He loves his hose.
It's important to keep it retracted when not in use. Coiling optional.
Haha! Thx for your humor. We need more like like you. Never let the left take that from us too!
Thanks for the great tips!
Do you recommend using Dab and midnight when the lawn is looking sad during the summer?
What tips for warm season grass?
I used a bad of Scott's Turf Builder. It was on sale. Opened it up and it was powdery. Burnt the shit out of my lawn..
another good video. i like the green long sleeve shirt but am i the only one where it makes me think of talking chipmunks?
Instead of midnight I already have double dark granular can I apply that in this heat 95-100 degrees. Planning on doing it in the evening the spraying sanctuary and water it in early morning like 6am what are your thoughts on at I don’t have DAB yet either
I use the blower to stand the dormant stuff up…or blow it out if it’s loose…”K”…#soillove(thatch eater/beneficials, water and “ides” appreciate ya…Coach “J”…#ZONE9LIFE!👍🏾🌴
Hot dad summer!!
Ugh! Just put down some weed and feed yesterday as weeds starting jumping up last couple of weeks and I hadnt ferted in a while..."ferted" hmmm new word?
All great tips
Are these recommendations for cool season or warm season grasses? Or both?
What if your yard is really dead? Can I use the thatcher and then add grass seed/water the yard? It’s been mowed once.
Speaking of my mom’s yard.
I have the same problem. I was going to dethatch tomorrow, do some leveling and seed. I'll wait to see what his suggestion to you is before I start.
Never seed in the summer. Its way way too hot and dry to keep up with how wet seed needs to be. Wait until fall and then go bananas. If you dethatch now you will have to take a whole year of nursing your lawn back to health.
Do you use a rotary mower in summer or Reel mow?Looks like you use rotary and mow high.
What about Aeration in the summertime Centipede grass
Isn’t summer the grow season?
Where can I get the whisperer pack 🙏
Thank you for the info!
The blades of the lawnmower must be sharp!
Use organic fertilizer and sprinkle in the evening!
I'm in Canada and we've been getting quite a bit of rain here in Alberta. Not super hot temps either. I did put some fertilizer down a few days ago, but just a little bit to feed the lawn. It's got a high amount of iron in it too, which is what I wanted. Would you recommend a PGR to go down now? We should have warmer temps coming in the next few weeks.
Getting so frustrated with my yard. Tons of disease . Red thread brown patch etc. now it’s burning up. Been in the 90s in mass for a week now. Have 12 zones and water 1 hour per zone every other day which gives prob 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 of water a week. Non treated yards look better than mine.
We're doing a great video but for my semi do-it-yourselfer you've only given me a couple of things that I can do. I can't dethatch. I can't aerate. So all I can do is put down the humidor. Oh well. I have to listen to the experts. And you are the expert. Not me. I'm going to put away my dethatch rake, My hand aerator, all of my 10-10-10 and various other fertilizers. And just use my molasses and humidor and hand spray it. That will give me one or two hours worth of pleasure. But seriously, thank you very much for this video.
Would you apply milorganite in the summer time to help keep the color dark green?
What would you use for fungus on tall fescue?
You can. Lots of people do a single foliar app or spoon feed (.20-.25 worth).
is it okay to put tenacity with the mixture?
What about spot spraying for weeds?
You can. Just keep in mind any turf grass the herbicide gets on is at higher risk of damage
If you must, wait until the evening hours when the temperature are cooler.
Great video, could you or would you do 1/4 pound of Milo per 1,000sq ft ? Thanks
Yes. I would.
Has low nitrogen levels
@@johnbiggins2105 Thanks
so how are people on YT reel mowing < 1", and throwing down fert with no weeds anywhere?.... can't figure it out
Get your lawn healthy and thick and that’s the best way to prevent weeds
Watching this video 2 weeks after raking my lawn in scorching heat. :(
Man … I just dumped a bunch of fertilizer yesterday 🤦🏻♂️
No weed treatments in the summer heat? Surely spot spraying is ok? Can't let the weeds grow.
You can spot spray, just do it early morning or late evening when it’s cooler and know you’re at higher risk to damage the turf it gets on. I personally wait til early fall when temps cool down
Listen peeps
5:20 that's what she said.
You forgot to use Hydretain.
I can't raise my mower height. It's as high as it can go already, I mow at 4 inches.
👍
# 8.6 plus 1 😁
Why are you showing 2 houses?🤠🤠🤠🤠
can I apply ironite?
Ironite is completely fine during summer. I mixed two bags in with limestone for my backyard this season and had no problems. Doesn’t have high elements of nitrogen. You want to just keep the nitrogen level as low as possible during summer as it could burn your lawn. Any fertilizer with high potassium is always great for summer, but always do a soil test to see what your levels are looking like.
@@mikeweiser2210 thank you for your response!
@@TriniDB no problem glad to help out
I was really hoping to hear “deep and infrequently”.😂
This don't apply during the summer if your yard is watered
Depends on conditions. Watered or not, cool season grasses are still stressed when it gets hot
Decided to push the fertilizer a bit too much… and it’s a burning lol. Need to plan it out a bit better moving forward, I didn’t track it well lol
The plant will only take what it needs. So there won’t be flush growth just because you threw down a bunch of nitrogen.
That’s not true. More nitrogen will encourage top growth, which might weaken the plant.
Dang! You're hot dude. Handsome man. Rawr!
the items you are recommending like the hose, DAB etc are probably for the professionals and not for the regular joe...if the regular joe buys this, he will probably have enough money for someone else to take care of his yard and not do it himself...in this economic downturn, the common man is not going to spend $200 on a hose or $140 for DAB...just saying...
I understand what you’re saying, but it isn’t necessarily true, especially if you have already put enough time, money (irrigation) & effort into your lawn.
It’s more like why wouldn’t you pay for quality to maintain your investment. Just a thought.
@@bestillandknow2986 very, very true...but in the coming months, expenditures spent on your lawn, most will realize the money could of been spent wisely on other things like FOOD, rent, property taxes, electricity, gas, oil, credit cards etc...if one has the money, that's no problem...but if reports are correct, a very high % of the people are living paycheck to paycheck...good for you, my friend, that you still have lots of money...i have noticed the high jump in prices of food...just saying...
@@sherrcon Well not that I have a lot of money...but my purpose in the scheme of things is to spend on quality so that my deceased husbands hard work doesn’t just dwindle away bcuz of our current economic situation. Besides... lawn care maintenance is not considered a reoccurring monthly/weekly requirement like food, gas etc. & if budgeted accordingly even in the worst of times it pays off in the long run. It’s really all about how much you’re willing to pay and for how long.
First!
U get nothing
@@daviddamron7077 Nothing, yet! I still have hope. 💚
