    You have to be one of the most thorough and clear speakers I have ever listened to. I don't know what you do for a living but, you ought to be a professional Speaker. Your videos are very informative and very entertaining with some of your antics. I also love all of the hand gestures, numbers Etc. I have watched many of your videos and have gotten a lot of very useful tips from you,,,Thank you very much for all you do for the public.

    great advice. You was talking about seeds washing into street from watering. Got a easy fix for you... When you are raking, you want to rake parallel to the road.. this is why farmers don't plant up and down hills, they plant sideways on hills so water running down don't cause a wash out.. the water will stay in the valleys.. Since you are planting grass you want those seeds to get caught just like hunting for gold... it will get hung up in the ripples.

    Ah! Now I get why I've watched 4 of your vids in a row and knowledge has eased in without the frustration and saying aloud things like " ok dude, get to it" or " how did I fall into this rabbit hole of someone's annoying effort? "
    Not today!! Ive efficiently gained knowledge that oftentimes alludes me or draaags me along in my quests.
    You're military. Quick to the point and in order. A teaching machine.

      The Lawn Care Nut , LCN, in one of your videos you had a grass plug puller. It pulled out square plugs and you transplanted them into different spots in our yard. Where can I find one? I can only find a small round one, it's just a tube! And the grass plugs are much smaller. I'm pretty sure it's designed to dig holes for bulbs, but they also try to pass it off as a grass plug puller. Please send me a link (or send me your grass plugger) Thank you!
      P.S. Going to throw down some milorganite! But first I will be measuring my lawn to get some more accurate numbers and better results.
      Thanks for all the videos

I should have threw down much more. With that being said... Round 2 starts tomorrow! Along with Step 5 of your Cool Lawn Program.

    cool video Alan, can't wait to see the results. Back in the 90s I was living in Dubai where I worked, the lawn guy came over to our yard where I lived in a company owned house to lay some grass seed, temperatures were like 140 in the shade which made me laugh as I thought the seed would never germinate, two weeks later he was mowing the lawn!!! I wish I knew what seed he used as it was amazing.

    I followed your seeding plan almost to the t. Only thing i did off the reservation was cook the weed seeds in the soil by covering it with a 4mil clear plastic a whole month in the hot summer before seeding in september. The results were phenominal. Very uniform tttf with no weeds with a well timed tenacity app.

I have been saving tremendously just by re watching you and a few other youtubers diy. Thanks. so i dont need to spend $185 for a pallet of Soil3 to re seed my 2100 sq ft front yard of Centipede here in Atlanta Ga...I have many bald spots totalling about 1000 sq ft through out. Im going to look into Pete Moss and Patch master.

    Once I pull out the border and all of the pebble rock, what should I use to level it out? I'm guessing I'll be a few inches low once I dig it all out.

    Reasonable tips. I live in Eastern Washington in the Pacific Northwest. We are having a late spring.
    One thing you failed to mention was seed eating birds. I pride myself on a nice rich green lawn but I’ve had those birds pick away with peat moss and make me have to patch a patch. A dummy plastic owl perched above has proven worthwhile to me for this.
