I’m here in Texas near Dallas and have been using Carbon for about 3 years and my yard is solid green in mid November for the first time. No fertilizer since September. I’m absolutely convinced it’s due to carbon and my treatment plan. HOC is between .75 and 1 inch for winter. I’ll be buying two more bags. One bag for November and one more for December. Thanks Doc!!!
I have some fescue and as the season has changed, I watch Bermuda pan out. That is amazing that your lawn is still that green. I guess the biochar really works. You are a testament to its benefits
Looks like a good product. All I'm adding to my bermuda this time of year is some turf paint and let the neighbors wonder.. I'll worry about the soil next spring.
If planning a next fall full renovation. A. Could the char be mixed with the seed to apply?B. If I apply it through this next year will it’s soil improvement last after a kill? Or would a plastic no Chem kill work better?
Is there a specific CEC level when you would stop adding Humichar? I came in at 19.5 and still added several bags and will be retesting soon, but am wondering when to be done.
Hey Doc, I saw that Andersons makes Humichar and CharX as humic and biochar soil amendments. I have not been able to figure out the difference between the two products. Do you know what sets them apart or why you would choose one over the other? Thanks in advance. Love your content.
I live in central Alabama. I have Bermuda grass. I have an armadillo digging in my yard. I have tried armadillo repellent & some diy stuff with no success. Is it too late in the year to put out DuoCide insect control to kill the grubs? Also is it too late to put out Anderson PGF 10-10-10 fertilizer? How would I space these 2 things apart if I can put both out on my lawn.
Hey Doc, good to see and here from you my question for you is should I dethatch my Kentucky blue now?? I no it says I should in your calendar but I worry cause it’s so cold in 30’s is that ok.
Hey Doc, I overseeded in the beginning of Sept and have done twp applications of Anderson’s Starter fertilizer with Mesotrione and one application of PGF complete and Barricade. Looking ahead to the spring, would I be better served applying PGF Complete or PGF Balanced in the spring? I’m located in NJ. Thx for your help and continued success on your new venture.
Doc HELP!!! Did Andersons pre emergent 10 days ago and I’ve got Poa coming up, I’m over here in Newnan. Soil temp still low 60’s. Used 10-10-10 + humichar 3 weeks ago. Poa already after only 1 frost😖😖😖 Please advise. Planning liquid prodiamine next week, 2 weeks after granular
Biochar is a oxygen depleted burned/cooked organic matter. So can I ghetto it and use Texas style charcoal? That’s basically hardwood cooked in the same way. Assuming I can beat it badly to reduce to powder size instead of a tree lump size, of course.
Charcoal is heated up to about ~750F, biochar much higher between 1020-1200 F. The higher temp of biochar production gasifies more of the resins that are still in the charcoal (which you want for cooking: smoke flavor) but are not conductive to microbial life for use in the garden.
I'm about 4-5 weeks out from when I overseeded. Noticing a lot of clovers popping out, is it ok to go ahead and take care of them now or should i maybe wait another week or two? I'm in middle TN if that matters. Weather is dipping into the 40s for a week, but then we got like two weeks of mid 50s. Not sure when it basically becomes pointless to try and kill weeds/clover due to them not growing and taking in the herbicide.
Quick Question I live in California it's cold already. Is Green Shocker safe to use year round or only for growing season? My Bermuda is getting brown so it's more than likely already going Dormant. I bought some Green Shcoker from you guys earlier this year. TIA, Doc
I hope he wasnt bagging, wasnt picking up the leaves. I love EGO stuff. I bag with ZT2 cub cadet and it gets just about all of em, especially in reverse
Doc with all the Andersons products we buy how about a discount code......I thought a while back you had one on the web page but haven't seen anything in a while
I’d question the need to use carbon if it’s going to take so much energy to make and the carbon is going to be locked into glass anyway. I know some hydro pellets are made like that in the European waste to energy plants. Volcanic soils might be another alternative. I do love the quality of that couch lawn.

Can you do a video on what camera you use and what software you use to edit there video's as I like the quality

Doc what is the difference between Andersons "Humichar" vs "Charx" on Amazon?
Doc HELP!!!

Hey doc is it to late for a pre emergent on a neglected lawn?
Didn’t you say in previous videos you are constantly putting down Green Shocker? Which one is it… biochar and less fertilizer or weekly green shocker?
On the putting green. It's the only thing we have used on it this year.
So, lump charcoal is this then… the charcoal you’re talking about is the manufactured briquette right???
Do you need to use humichar if you use dirt booster for the carbon that is
Be good if you could get it in Australia 🇦🇺. Apparently they don't ship here

Can I put it on sod that was laid 2 months ago ?
Yes, any time on anything.
HELP...I can not get rid of sedge....what can I use to get rid of it???
Where are you located? what state?
He’s in Georgia
Doc with all the Andersons products we buy how about a discount code......I thought a while back you had one on the web page but haven't seen anything in a while
Use DOC at check out and you'll get a discount.
@@HowTowithDoc I've tried it....doesn't work and just tried it now to be sure.....says invalid
I have forwarded your question to Andersons.
I’d question the need to use carbon if it’s going to take so much energy to make and the carbon is going to be locked into glass anyway. I know some hydro pellets are made like that in the European waste to energy plants. Volcanic soils might be another alternative.
