When I lived in Long Island, the rule was “ when the forsythia blooms, throw down” Here in central Illinois, I’m throwing down today after I mow. Rain is expected in two days, today is the day, pre emergent goes down. I’m using liquid aeration, it’s awesome in the fall. Winter fert in late November. Halloween I’m throwing down Double Dark to darken up my lawn . Great video, Great info once again.
All awesome stuff bud! You got some good strategies too! I want to give the liquid aeration a shot too! My homemade worm castings tea fertilizer spray has a similar effect! More to come on that!
every year is a struggle to keep my grass somewhat green but i get patches etc etc I will try your lawncare scheduled maintenance program it looks easy north jersey weather is unpredictable will see.
Wow you are definitely a serious lawn guy. I never thought of fertilizing my grass until I got serious about gardening during the pandemic. This vid was a eye wakener. TY!
Typically miles love to eat grubs so if they are around thats usually because there are grubs in your lawn. You could throw down a 24 hour grub killer and soak it in to kill their food source. Let me know if you’ve tried that before.
@@johnhouli3450 once you put it down and water it in with at least a half an inch of water you should be good. Or before a heavy rain. You could also do one section of your yard at a time and keep the dog out of those areas.
I'm in the UK and this was a great help - I've translated the dates into what I need in my local zone weather. It's raining for the next week so I'm going to put my fertiliser down now. Thanks so much!
Good info as usual. Need to know your lawn and yearly soil testing provides direction. Our soil temps here in MI are in the high 30’s to low 40’s. Heck we got snow flurries this morning. Cutting and planning on throwing down pre emergent and RGS the next few days. As soil temps increase and based on lab report-I’ll really geek out. Lol.
@@GarageGear lab report shows low N-P-K. And slightly high Ph. So once the temps stabilize and the wind dies down under 40 mph (lol) I’ll throw down the good stuff. Already applied the RGS liquid
@@edrumsas5420 good to know where you’re at! NPK are usually low for me in the spring too. My phosphorus was high for years because of the Milo I using for a while. It’s leveled out since I cut back on that. I can’t wait to get more of my homemade fert down! I’ll keep you posted on that!
awesome video. Can't wait to do my application early this week. Just waiting for my back yard to dry out a little. I'm going to use Lesco crabgrass with fertilizer because of cost.
I’ve been trying to knock down the cost as well! Made a homemade fertilizer the other week! And it seems to be working well! Let me know how the Lesco works for you!
@@GarageGear I’ve used it in years past it worked well. I usually use products from yard mastery but i need 2 bags of pre emergent and 2 bags of fertilizer.
Hey DB! Here’s a link to all the micros you’ll ever need! I CUT MY FERTILIZER COSTS IN HALF - TRY THIS! th-cam.com/video/Uhk35P7T8oc/w-d-xo.html thanks for watching bud!
Great info about what the three numbers mean on the fertilizer bags. It would help having recommendations on which actual numbers to use for each application.
I wish I had this video about 4 weeks ago when I did some cleanup outside, raked, dethatched, and aerated -- I was debating about putting down the fertilizer but then we got snow -- which raises the question if you put down the fertilizer and then we get like a quick flash of snow does that defeat your plan? I was going to wait till after the first cut but now after viewing this I'm going to proceed with my special mixture of fertilizer startup and peat moss with some seed. I want to jump start the lawn and want to hear what you think about all this? Thanks!
Hey Vincent it almost always snows right after I fertilize in mid March but it’s usually an inch or two and gone in a couple of days. The lawn always grows just fine. Nothing to worry about. I would get your mix down now because the grass is growing. Hope all is well my friend!
Hey Rose, this plan is mainly for northern lawns. You appear to be more in the transition zone. If you have Kentucky blue grass, turf type tall fescue or perennial rye grass then you could use it but I would check your grass type. Thank you for watching!
@@inter18 ok not much will help you right now because the temps are high and the rainfall is generally low this time of year. If you water 1/2 inch 2-3 times per week that should help. Fall will be the best time to get the lawn green again. Aerate, overawed and fertilize right around the first two weeks of September. 👍
Hey JB! Awesome video as usual. Just wondering about your bonus application, do you water this in or let it sit on top and water in when the snow melts in the spring. I’ve heard of both and just wondering what you’ve found works for you. Thanks in advance man!
Hey Jordan! For The bonus application, I do not water it in. Plenty of snow will soon be on it to break it down and as winter wears on it will get worked into the soil. Colder temps are upon us and the last you want to do is get out there and turn on a frozen sprinkler. Thanks for watching another my friend!
Very new to lawn care! What’s a good fertilizer for tall fescue? Is liquid better or granular? Also the higher the number does that mean I should wait longer to put down fertilizer? Let say’s I go with 16-4-8 would I apply this ever 25 days? compared to a 32-4-8 and apply every 45 days? I’m getting ready to overseed and aerate soon. Any help would be great! Thanks!
Hey mexi’ lots to unpack here! First liquid absorbs faster and is more cost effective for a bigger yard. No need to wait longer for any reason. A good rule of thumb is fertilize every 6-8 weeks. The 16-4-8 is a well rounded fertilizer. The 32-4-8 is going to push crazy top growth and you’ll be mowing every 2-3 days. That gets annoying after a while. Let me know if you have any other questions! 👍
@@GarageGear Thanks for the info! We just got a house and i overseeded in may and it turned out pretty good. Had some hiccups last month but it seems to be coming back . Hopefully overseeding soon! i got my sprinker system,back pack sprayers and some other checmicals to help! hopefully my lawn looks something like yours! haha cheers!
Hey JB how's it going? This is an excellent video explaining when the best times are for fertilizing your lawn. You do a real nice job breaking it all down to be understood. Nice job again my man. 🤜🤛 👍
It Taylor right? Thanks my friend. I put a lot of time into scripting and editing to make sure I nail all my point. I appreciate the positive feedback and you being a cool fan!👍

Will fertilizer, weed control and other chemicals screw up the work your worm castings are doing? I asked a company that sells worm castings and they said not to apply anything but the castings. It makes sense but still seems like the lawn is going to get lots of weeds.
Hey Bobby! I would agree you don’t want to screw up the worm castings but after a few weeks they are broken down and into the soil. So fertilizer is good between uses of castings. I alternate them with no issues. Weed killer should only be spot sprayed if necessary Where the weeds are. 👍
I fertilized in mid-July but that night, we had 1.7 inches of rain. My lawn is pretty flat, but do you think my fertilizer washed away? I'm thinking of fertilizing again, even at a half rate but I don't want to overdo it. Thank you.
There’s a lot of variables to consider here but whenever this happens to me everything works out fine. All that rain actually helps wash everything into the soil. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that you’re fine. If this happened repeatedly I would consider a half dose again in a few weeks if you’re not seeing results. Then you’ll know it got washed away. Give it about 2 weeks to do it’s thing. Thanks for watching!
@@GarageGear good man same ol stuff, how’s everything been with you ? Same ol stuff at the school ? Just enjoying break right now. The snowblower didn’t give me anymore problems this year. I tilled my lawn last Monday and layed seed on Tuesday. Been watering 3 times a day and had some rain. This is seriously like watching paint dry. I figured I’d see a little bit of grass growing at 8 days. The bag of Scott’s seed said could be 2 to 3 weeks though. Have you ever done it starting with no grass after a tilling ? Glad to see the page is rockin hard !
@@johnmartin5153 school is school! Annoying as always. If TH-cam blows up I’m done lol! Not counting my chickens yet tho lol! I think once we get some temps in the 60s and 70s regularly the grass will really come up fast. Night temps are still cool. Plenty more lawn content coming my friend!

@@johnmartin5153 glad I got a cool local fan like you John! Even cooler that we worked together for all those years. Just wait until I get my homemade fertilizer in action. Mowing this weekend!
Is it alright to use now June 4th. The Jonathan green green up fertilizer. It's 29/0/3. I used Jonathan green fertilizer for seeding and sod 4/5 weeks ago and parts of my lawn or not lush green. Please advise. I do intend to use summer survival fertilizer in about 5 weeks but I want to use something to green up my lawn. I have a sprinkler system so no issues with watering. Much appreciated for your guidance
@@brodygoalie hey Brody, I would go with the 12/18/8 fert. We have a few more weeks before temps start to spike and you’ll want some phosphorus to help drive some root growth prior to summer setting in. Use that water a lot and you should be just fine! Both fertilizers would help green up the lawn with a decent amount of nitrogen! Thanks for watching my friend!
@@GarageGear hi. I ended up using the high nitrogen fertilizer. I applied last night. So in 6 weeks I will use the summer survival fertilizer. So like third week of July for that. Then 6 weeks from third week of July would be beginning of September. I will overseed and aeration so I will have use the fertilizer for seeding and sod. Then late October will use the fall fertilizer from Jonathan green. How does that plan seem to you? Much appreciated for your help. Regards
Good question Interisti! My neighbor has true green come and do his lawn for over $1000 a year. My similar sized lawn done by myself usually adds up to about $500-600 for the year. Next year will probably be higher with inflation. Each application only takes about 10-12 minutes to apply with my spreader. Thanks for watching.
@@inter18 you could do whatever you want. Your lawn will green up every time you fertilize. If you want to consistently keep the lawn green this is a good step by step plan. If you only do this a couple of times your lawn will green up, then fade a little, maybe you’ll see some weeds pop up, then it will green up again, then fade and so on. How big is your lawn?
Northern climates don't need fertilizer now if you did your winterizing feeding last fall. Ever notice that your lawn and most everyone else's looks nice and green in the spring? Cornell states that most lawns only need feeding once a year in the fall. The rest is hype by the fertilizer companies, home centers and lawn services; all looking to take more of your money.
Fall is the most important, but if you really want a nice lawn, you need more than that. That said, you can have a decent, healthy lawn just fertilizing in the fall, but it won't look like a golf course, which is what a lot of people want. I personally do a few light apps in the spring, and leave it alone in the summer, then hit it with at least one heavy app in the fall, maybe two if the weather cooperates. I also mulch all clippings and mulch all of my leaves in the fall, and I believe that has benefitted my lawn the most, but it takes about 5 years of doing this consistently to start noticing a difference, but well worth it.
You lawn will fill in nicely! And look great for summer time! Lawn looking pretty green already? I’m on instagram at Garagegearjb my friend! You can follow me on there!

Ok to some extents these procedures will still work for. But these will depend on your climate and grass types.
Northern climates don't need fertilizer now if you did your winterizing feeding last fall. Ever notice that your lawn and most everyone else's looks nice and green in the spring? Cornell states that most lawns only need feeding once a year in the fall.
The rest is hype by the fertilizer companies, home centers and lawn services; all looking to take more of your money.
