What if we are also looking to top dress a bumpy lawn at the same time with sand. Before, during, after this process? Or not at all until next year? Think this well help other subscribers. Thanks!
Hey Allen Hayne or Jake, question if I have starter fert for bermuda to put down now, how many lbs would you recommend I put down per 1000sq ft before going dormant? It's Pennington starter 18-24-06
I live in Michigan, when should I aerate? I'd read some articles where people say to aerate ONLY in the fall, and then others that say to do it both in the spring and summer. What are your thoughts? Below is a statement from an article I was reading. While some companies will recommend aeration in both spring and fall, for most lawns in the neighborhoods we service, we generally recommend a single round of aeration done in the fall. While there are some benefits to spring aeration, there are also some drawbacks. In spring, weeds are just beginning to proliferate. By aerating in the spring, you are creating space for your lawn’s root system to expand, but you are also clearing spots where unwanted weeds can slip in as well
OK buddy, thanks A LOT. I went nut like you. Went to the depot, rent me a professional aerator, bought several bags of milo and Scott's seeds. I threw her down like there's no tomorrow. So far I have gotten 17k steps. Completed the job in 3 hours. Returned the aerator back to the depot. Really heavy putting back on the bed of the truck. My wife almost threw her back. But luckily I had a 4x4 that helped as a bridge. Word of advice for everyone, buy two 2x6 x 8 feet and use as bridge to your truck. This thing is a beast. But LCN, said all that, I have saved money doing myself. Thanks for the video.
Man, been following you since the early early days. Like when you were in the hundreds of followers. I loved that you called my lawn “a little postage stamp lawn” when I described living in Chicago next to the burbs! I’m next to Naperville now so you know right where im at. Thanks for all the great years of content. Could it be like 15 years already?
Hi. My lawn has a 20ft by 20ft spot that is very dry as it is full sun and highest spot on the lawn. I am able to easily get down to about 2-3in and then it’s hard and possibly clay. Grass dies by end of summer unless i water everyday. My plan ... put down Liquid Aerating Soil Loosener- Aerator Soil Conditioner to make soil softer, core aerate, overseed and top dress with soil 1 week after, then right after core aeration add milorganite mixed with The Andersons Organic Humic DG. Thoughts?
Thank you! This video is a great help. I'm finishing the first summer in my new home (new construction) and my lawn is not where I wanted it to be. My plan is as follows: 1) Aerate (the fill in this development is VERY sandy - many of us moving into the development aren't happy) 2) Put down 25LB (I have 13k sqft of lawn) of SS5000 Sunny Mixture 3) I have a half bag of Sulfate of Potash, put that down (should I get another and do 1.5 bags?) 4) Put down Milorganite 5) Water like its my job 6) Enjoy my lawn next year? Any concerns or tips? For some background, I did the following this year: 1) Late April - 2 bags of Pre-M 0-0-8 and GrubEx (1 big bag, 1 small bag) 2) Early May - 1.5 bags of Sulfate of Potash, 2 bags of Milorganite 3) June - 1.5 bags of Sulfate of Potash
Hey, love your you tube content , app, and products. Your Black Beauty grass seed is the best seed ever! Your ferts and weed prevention are the best out there!!
I have 2 acres, you can do what ever you want to to my land as a project. It doesn't look like a ⛳ but I'm trying! If I pole that many holes in yard, the ground critters will be Really confused.
I have a very similar situation to this. I bought a new construction home in the spring and its my first home so I'm not really knowledgeable on lawn care but I am willing and eager to learn. My lot is ~6000 sqft and a lot of it looks like the front area of this house. I'm in PA Philly area so temps are already down and I think I'm probably too late to do much this Fall. This video series was already so helpful and motivating but it has also raised more questions for me. Should I aerate the soil and use a traditional spreader like you guys did or should I use a slit seeder to overseed or should I use both? Is it too late in the game to do anything this year? Should I wait until next Fall to do this or should I start in the Spring? I feel there are so many questions and I just need a little help to get started.
Great lawn I did following you. But I didn’t research watering and I got fungus. Ok fixed but now I fixed wholes with turf builder manure etc. now question? Fertilize with organize now then reseed wait a week later then reseed. . All is cut and ready to go. Which to do first? Fertilize it seed? I think fertilize . Answer us:?????? Sandee
I learned a little trick that really works well for me if anyone wants to try, I put 1/4 of the grass seed down before I aerate then put the rest down after I aerate...works amazing for me
Problem with that is every seed that gets hit by plugger gets broken. Once broken, it wont germinate so id think 2x b4 doing that again. I seed very last so that my plugger, fertilizer, and lime passes dont crush seed.
great video guys! I see you didn't use any cover after the overseeding? should be fine correct? I have 20k of lawn and would never bags and bags of peat moss but from watching this video I should be fine without?
In this video you two aerated the lawn extensively with corks pulled out all over. My question is what if I also plan to level out the lawn with fine sand and top soil mix this year, what should the timing like between aeration/over seeding and leveling? Should I aerate and seed first this Fall then try to level a month later after the lawn has grown? Or do one of the two this year and the other in Spring? Thank you.
Fall Aeration vs De-Thatching/Scarifying? I bought the Sunjoe De-Thatcher/Scarifier this season and used it instead of core aeriation. The Sunjoe really picked up a lot of debris and was rather impressed with the end results. Obviously the Sunjoe does NOT do the same physical/mechanical job of a core aerator. My question is this..can one use a De-Thatcher/Scarifier instead of a core aerator? What are the Pros/Cons of this?
What do I do with my lawn that is 80% zoysia grass and roughly 20% bermuda? They only do plugs and sod for zoysia to my knowledge. So can't overseed. Still aerate? How do I get rid of the Bermuda? I haven't seen much if any videos or emails on zoysia grass. Thanks!
I never saw the end product of this project lawn...in this video its looking much like a lawn that I seeded on June 1st up here in South Dakota. Where can I view the end result video??
I am sweating my lawn Reno really bad. This weekend was shot to hell by rain and work. What is the absolute latest I can seed and be sure to get my grass established before the frost in northern New Jersey? And watching you two together in videos is priceless!
So, if your going to put fertilizer down for the winter, I take it you're using high phosphorus to feed the roots cause you don't want extra nitrogen in the winter?
Hey great work on the lawns I had a quick question for you so it's the last weekend of September I dethatch the lawn aerated the lawn then over top of the lawn I added a three mix which is topsoil peat moss and mushroom fertilizer. I had grubs in the lawn so I added a grub killer which have to be watered in after I watered it the three mix got wet and I couldn't rake it underneath the grass is this going to cause my grass to die or will it come back to life with a top soil mix on top of it
It will be fine but stay away from peat Moss on your grass it's acidic you want your soil ph around 6.0- 7.0 ....put lime pellets down raises the ph in the soil ......grass seed I recommend rye grass and Kentucky bluegrass midnight granite or wildhorse kbg or last you live in deep south then you'll have to go with tall fescue kentucky 31
I did all of this over over Labor Day weekend (Saturday). It has been a little over a week and my existing grass is very tall even though I mowed short before. Should I still try to wait 3 weeks to mow or mow early? Some of my new grass is already 2+ inches also.
I know you mentioned not worrying about killing off the weeds, but what about mature crabgrass? I have mature crabgrass with tons of seeds. Would aeration worsen the problem by sending the seeds into the dirt? Should I just skip aeration and overseed (TTTF) on established lawn? Thanks in advance and thank you for the videos!
if you have mature crabgrass you will have a problem next year no matter what - but you can control that with pre-emergents in spring. If you have bad crabgrass it just means you may need to poke more holes - or cut it down lower in those sections.
Sure you can areat anytime as long as ground is not frozen aerating with seeding is just going to give you a better yield of seed germinating the plugs will cover up the seed .....areat last
Stupid question but can I use a thatch rake, use a liquid aeration, over seed and use fertilizer all the in same day or do I need to stretch it all out? Thanks!
Lee, OMG! Please don’t think I’m patronising you when I say this, you pal are one of the most honest professional gardeners that I have watched, even though you’re coming up on your 70th birthday! 😂😂😂only joking Lee Your brilliant son👍
That is the most you worked in a lawn all year 🤣. Also, this is the absolute best content you put out all season to date. Must be your passion of cool season turf care👍. Excellent video!
All this rain has been preventing me from doing my lawn renovation. My question is what’s the cut off for me to do so. I live in the northeast. Di I still have time to do it or is it a total waste?
No cut off you just want to have the grass up before leaves fall i recommend starting second week of August....November I will say wait until next august
Following this closely because I have a new lawn of similar size with the trees, hills, etc. What are your thoughts on putting down tenacity to help with current and future weeds during this process?
Here in VA, we'll need to wait until the hurricane passes before seeding? I (obviously) missed seeding last week. What's the seeding effect on a saturated (ie post hurricane) ground?
Odd question i was doing some read about a place in maine that picked up waste from a treatment plant used it i there fields and now a bad chemical is showing in the cows milk . Wonder what they are going to find in this fertiler
Something that you could remind people and emphasize on is that sometimes you might want to get Miss Utility out there to Mark the property to make sure that you don't hit any unforeseen lines in the ground and also Mark sprinkler systems and invisible fence systems.
@@fr3shSwag sometimes homeowner ad things like wires or invisible fence wires and sometimes they're not buried to code. Same thing goes for sprinklers.
Been raining for 1 week going to be raining for another 2 weeks. Haven’t been able to aerate yet 😳. It’s 9/10 today. Can I do it effectively in 2 weeks?
Serious question. Could aerating be counterintuitive with how sandy my soil is? It's literally all sand. I have a good established lawn but want to overseed to make it thick. One rain fall and the holes will be washed away. Not a joke.
I tried spreading seed on top and hoards of finches spend several days husking the seeds. Leaving behind dead empty seeds. I MUST use a verticutter to bury the seedlings in soil to prevent th lil bastids from eating them! They ate 50lbs of seed in a week! That's $80 of high priced bird food!!
I’m getting ready to aerate, overseed and possibly some Milo. Will throwing the Milo down now with the bare seed have any ill effects, or should I wait a week or two to put it down?
The Lawn Care Nut For sure. The order I’ll be doing is mowing short, dethatch the yard, yard sweeper to pickup, core aerate, overseed with my Scott’s mix I got and then possibly Milorganite. Your videos are awesome and so informational. 👍🏻
Allyn is it okay to use both the N-Ext Air8 and Aerator for maybe a WAY BETTER result?? Or just use the N-Ext Air8 where areas the aerator cant make it.... wanted to aerate with the liquid and machine, dont know if its smart so i had to ask lol!
Milorganite is now $15.99/bag up her in Canton, GA.... We spread the word on this great product, we buy it up, they almost doubled the price! Hope this stopped the high taxes on toilet flushers in Milwaukee. 😂😂😂😂
I am brand new to the lawn care game and I have recently subscribed and watched a ton of your videos. I dethatched and hand areated yesterday( by the way I will never make that idiotic mistake again) and am now ready to overseed. I am using the Scott's 3-IN-1 sun & shade which contains 9% nitrogen. I want to know if it's possible to put put down Milorganite as well with this Scott's mix?
Thanks for all the great information. I'm in Ga and I'm overseeing bermuda this spring. Would you still use Milo and 10-10-10? I'm only asking because this video is a few years ago.
Hi LCN! Big fan bought several products from your site for my lawn seeding project this fall and loving the results. One question. I covered the seed with EZ straw (mistake?) My pure beautiful superseed has been invaded with what I think is wheat growing. How do I get rid of these little bastards?
Stupid question but , If i am going to start all over again next Spring with a new seeded lawn, (i just bought this house) is there anything I need to do now? Middle Tennessee and am going from a crabgrass lawn to a Bermuda lawn or KBG.
I will be overseeing in the next week or so. Do I need to time my seeding so that it rains immediately after I seed? Or is it ok if it doesn’t rain for a few days. I have no way to manually-water as my yard is huge. Thank you.
Hi Allyn, Question for you, have you used the D-Thatch from Next.. I am just starting to use the RG8 and Air8.. Wanted to know if you think it is worth it. Thanks
Hi Mr Lawn Care Nut, my wife and I just moved into a new house and I'm wondering if I can start using Milorganite on the lawn. The sod has been laid down for about 3 weeks. Thanks! Dave
I knew you would eventually dominate that silly core aerator. Jake needs to accept all liability and blame while filming. Poke more holes could be a new t-shirt for you. Jake is amazing that he even knew of Tears For Fears. There is an old soul in his young body.
After 20 years of fertilizing first and then accidentally have my mowing crew show up and cut it with a high vacuum lawnmower we never opened the hopper and found the 50lbs bag of fertilizer , no joke not even one single piece in the hopper
Here is Jake's Edit on this same day - it's REALLY good and I'm not kidding: th-cam.com/video/_eUt2TUKfgs/w-d-xo.html

Never seen you use or talk about top dressing with compost blend ? Isn't it one of the best things for new seed ?
Never add compost as most contain some weed seeds. Leave a bag out for a month with a small hole in it and watch the weeds grow out of the bag.
@@Ossamakilla You need better compost.
@@allandonald6248 ehhh they all have some weed seeds. That's a big reason you'll never see compost or straw on site at a golf course.
Is there a website where I can get a list of the calculations used in this video? Or an online calculator?

The tines on an aerator are no more than 2.5" long. Wires are buried 6" in the ground.

Serious question. Could aerating be counterintuitive with how sandy my soil is? It's literally all sand. I have a good established lawn but want to overseed to make it thick. One rain fall and the holes will be washed away. Not a joke.
I have same situation. I'm considering a slice seeding machine bc of sand. It will get good seed to soil contact plus dethatch existing grass.
I tried spreading seed on top and hoards of finches spend several days husking the seeds. Leaving behind dead empty seeds.
I MUST use a verticutter to bury the seedlings in soil to prevent th lil bastids from eating them!
They ate 50lbs of seed in a week! That's $80 of high priced bird food!!
It felt so much more real when they used milo.
Can you use milorganite for overseeding or would Scott’s lawn food be better?
Milogranite works , that’s what I’m usuing
I know we gotta wait for 3 weeks after overseeding to cut but what if your lawn is growing out of control in about 10-11 days?
Yep, right on! Fearless Leader. August? Now. 🧐
Any benefit to using a slice seeder over coring and spreading?
I’m getting ready to aerate, overseed and possibly some Milo. Will throwing the Milo down now with the bare seed have any ill effects, or should I wait a week or two to put it down?
no ill effects - thrower down! However it's not a good idea to aerate if the seed has been down more than a day or two

Milorganite is now $15.99/bag up her in Canton, GA.... We spread the word on this great product, we buy it up, they almost doubled the price! Hope this stopped the high taxes on toilet flushers in Milwaukee. 😂😂😂😂
I am brand new to the lawn care game and I have recently subscribed and watched a ton of your videos. I dethatched and hand areated yesterday( by the way I will never make that idiotic mistake again) and am now ready to overseed. I am using the Scott's 3-IN-1 sun & shade which contains 9% nitrogen. I want to know if it's possible to put put down Milorganite as well with this Scott's mix?
I just thatched my lawn and it looks bare. I love in Philadelphia, is it too late to aerate and seed?
I live in an arid climate so we have sprinklers, do I have to remove the sprinklers before I aireate with the machine?
Finally get to hear the rest of Cleetus’ music lol.
Hane, we need an LCN music playlist to get us through the winter. Hop to it!
He should sell CD's or whatever the kids use nowadays. Lawn Jamz 2018 -or- NOW, That's What I Call Green Volume 1.
Looking good guys,Throw'er Down love it 👍👍
Great job LCN ! One question though... would it be necessary to drop hay on the seed so the birds won't interfere ? Thanks - First Tim Rookie :)
No
Just Carry a 22
@@jonboyi8523 Tried.... damn bird society :(
Hi Allyn, you have N-Ext products on your side, can you give us some tips on N-Ext Seeding.Over-Seeding package how and when you use it ?
Thanks for all the great information. I'm in Ga and I'm overseeing bermuda this spring. Would you still use Milo and 10-10-10? I'm only asking because this video is a few years ago.
Hi LCN! Big fan bought several products from your site for my lawn seeding project this fall and loving the results. One question. I covered the seed with EZ straw (mistake?) My pure beautiful superseed has been invaded with what I think is wheat growing. How do I get rid of these little bastards?
Stupid question but , If i am going to start all over again next Spring with a new seeded lawn, (i just bought this house) is there anything I need to do now? Middle Tennessee and am going from a crabgrass lawn to a Bermuda lawn or KBG.
If you're renovating in the Spring, I would take the opportunity now to mass kill all of the weeds, prior to Winter.
Can we do this in Wichita Ks now or should we wait?
I will be overseeing in the next week or so. Do I need to time my seeding so that it rains immediately after I seed? Or is it ok if it doesn’t rain for a few days. I have no way to manually-water as my yard is huge. Thank you.
I'm glad you can laugh at yourself, after missing the obvious. Lol
Haha, sowing the seeds of love, too funny! Great video!!
How much water per day for those first 15-21 days?
Hi Allyn, Question for you, have you used the D-Thatch from Next.. I am just starting to use the RG8 and Air8.. Wanted to know if you think it is worth it. Thanks
Hi Mr Lawn Care Nut, my wife and I just moved into a new house and I'm wondering if I can start using Milorganite on the lawn. The sod has been laid down for about 3 weeks.
Thanks!
Dave
wavve99 I would!
No reason not to...
Is it good practice to core aerate annually in Early-mid sept? Or should it only be done as need be?
I knew you would eventually dominate that silly core aerator. Jake needs to accept all liability and blame while filming. Poke more holes could be a new t-shirt for you. Jake is amazing that he even knew of Tears For Fears. There is an old soul in his young body.
Can you use the aerator if you have a rocky soil??
Is it too late for me to do this this fall? It's getting into the 40s at night and 50s and 60s during the day here in Minnesota.
I was gonna say never had a problem mowing, actually the mower pushes the seed down for betters contact after an aeration.
After 20 years of fertilizing first and then accidentally have my mowing crew show up and cut it with a high vacuum lawnmower we never opened the hopper and found the 50lbs bag of fertilizer , no joke not even one single piece in the hopper
Well I followed this and amazing results. If I could attach a picture I would.
Should I be aerating zoysia?
