How I missed you brother, you were just what I needed to move away from all this crazy stuff that is going on. Let’s just get over this “bump” and start to have a good time on the lawn. Love you new dog and the videos, thanks for what you do!!!! Definitely my favorite “youtuber”
Thanks for the love Harlley! Gotta get back to having fun for sure!!!
yea youtube is our friend right now. We need the videos Ginger
Done deal! I hear you guys loud and clear
A hello from Quebec Canada!
I've been following your advice since two years and wow !! my lawn is so beautiful that the whole neighborhood asks me for advice haha
I really like what you do and the way you explain things. I bought myself a Sunjoe last year and this year will be the AMS soil probe.
Since Covid-19 I'm reviewing all your videos and man it's so intersting !
Keep teaching us!! Thanks Ginja, stay safe.
I never get boring watching you videos Ginja you are amazing lawn teacher thanks again
Super kind Wilvert! I really appreciate it
Great to see you back!!! I have AG taking care of my lawn this year. Already had my first treatment
That's awesome Gail! It's going to be a great year for lawns!
OMG! You are the best THANKS so mych for all your valuable tips our front yard never looks so good since we follow your videos. Bless to you.
Love hearing this Yanet! Glad you're finding value. makes me happy.
The gardening bug has bitten me (first time in my 20’s, now in my 40’s) once again! Came to your site to remedy dog urine spots, but I’m staying now for ALL of your helpful info & tips! I agree with the other folks...love your positive attitude and down-to-earth style! Thanks for your help and keep up the good work 😊
Thank you soo much for the kind words! Glad you're finding value!
So glad I found this channel!!! Just a bought a new house with a beautiful BUT bumpy yard. Learning a lot from your vid. Thanks!!
That's great to hear! Thanks for commenting!
Great to see you're doing well and in lawn mode, Ginja!
Thanks Joe!!!!
Sorry for your loss. Big Ned looked like a great pup. I resemble that lawn and now you have fixed my quandary. Tenacity, over seed and fertilizer 13-5-8 and some top dressing. It was getting nice here in Chicago and I started to work on the lawn and then it started to rain and now snow. Corona or weather it never ends...
Nice Liam! Way to get out there and slay that lawn! You the man! Corona lawn virus aint got nothing on you bro!
Great new camera and microphone...thank you! I will miss Big Ned, but looking forward to seeing the new pup grow up! Best lawn care channel on TH-cam!
Thanks Bruce! I put everything back into gear to help out! Rolls Royce is in training of the art of not caring. He's right on par.
Short and sweet and to the point. Well done...
Thanks Gordon! Great feedback
Good to see you made it through winter! Enjoyed the video. I have never used tenacity but plan to try it this year to control creeping bentgrass in my newly seeded lawn. The stuff I use as a pre emerg is a granular made by Anderson. The only thing it seems to prevent is crabgrass and perhaps dandelions. Doesn’t seem to touch clover or oxalis. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Since loosing all my work this last week my garden has been getting a lot of attention! Thanks for the tips
You're welcome! Glad to hear you on the lawn! 2020 year of the joneses
Okay...it's officially Spring now that the Ginja has sprung. The lawn care community is once again complete. Love Mr Rolls Royce...The Silver Shadow.
Welcome back Ginja! ~ mike
LOL too kind! Thanks Mike! Love the silver shadow
Love your videos! I've been watching them all trying to get prepped for the season. My "lawn" is about 75% weeds. Hoping to remedy that with the help of your videos!
This is perfect information for you Tommie! Good luck slaying that lawn this season!
Great video and Rolls is FREAKING AWESOME!!!!! He is BEAUTIFUL!!! Nice to have you back in TH-cam land again.
Thanks Jon!!! Ready to make lawns green again.
Good to see you back Ginja, love tuning in for updates and tips throughout the year. Judging by the state of my lawn here in Scotland after an extremely damp and rainy winter I’m gonna need all the help I can get.
awesome! been studying up for you guys without our sprays here. if you have some leaf compost that's broken down start getting it in the lawn. great carbon source.
Have thrown some seed down to help fill in the gaps and raked in a little top soil. Hoping the temps pick up a bit, we’ve had some sunshine but stayed quite cool. Just hoping I haven’t over seeded too early. Would the seed go to waste if the conditions weren’t right?
The seed only takes about a 30% die back when temps dip below zero if they've started the germination process. however when it's how and the soil dries out during the germination process that's when the worrying starts.
I’m Ready !!! Great refresher spring up video.
Let's go!!!! Time to slay those lawns!
Love ya buddy welcome back...slay ‘em!! Your energy rules...and Rolls Royce is the dude....
Thank you! Really appreciate you comment. Hope your staying safe over there!
Rolls Royce is awesome 😎.. lol rolling on his back on the lawn..😀 I’d like to roll on my back on Ginja’s lawn too 🤪
I’m so excited to be watching your videos from the start of the season.
Ginja for PRESIDENT!!!
😂😂😂 Making Every Lawn Great Again
Ginja! I'm READY!!!
Loved seeing ole footage of Ned!
Also gr8 intro to Mr. Rolls Royce.
Thanks Eric! It was a fun little project!
Awesome to see another video! I was just working on the yard today. Snows all gone. I'm in ontario with hard clay. Keep up the great videos!!
Perfect! Go slay that lawn!
Great video with realistic advice. Most people have issues in their lawn and need it taken care of quicker than a 5 year plan. It is nice to hear a proponent of spring seeding and aggressive weed control. Many other popular youtubers have plans that work to maintain an already nice lawn, but their plans would take years on a poor lawn. Sorry to hear about Ned.
Thanks for the feedback! Really appreciate the feedback. My objective is to shine turds across the world
Glad your back!! Already cut my bermuda 3 times in the last week lol. (Reel mowing) So nice to get out in the yard again!!
nice job tim! Welcome to the reel side
Good to see you back!
Thanks Dick! Feels good to be back!
I’m ready for spring. Big plans for my yard this year. Glad your back ginga. Beard is looking good. 👍🏻
Thanks wayne! The beard is on the mend!
Sorry about your pooch, I've been there. I like the way you broke down the Nitrogen Calculation.
Thanks Lawn Journeys! It's been a minute since Ned passed. He was a legend.
Good to see Ginja back out in the lawn!!!
Thanks! Good to be back
thanks Ginja, hoping to make my lawn sing this year
Lets slay that lawn! Just copy what I do!
Thanks for the video. Been missing them. Can’t wait to start the lawn care this season. Sorry about Big Ned!
Thanks David. He will be missed by many!
Glad you are back Ginga! Looing forward to another season of lawn tips. My new Sun Joe scarifier arrived last week. Got approval for it from the boss after showing her your videos.
Sorry about Ned. Hello Mr. Rolls Royce!
You'll love the sun joe Jim! It's a great tool to have in the shed. Thanks about Ned, he lived a great life after we rescued him. awesome dog.
Great to see you back my friend!
Thanks! You the man Brett! #BrettSucks
Good to see you back Ginja!!!!
Thanks! Awesome to reconnect with everyone!
Gonna, I’M READY!! Already mowed and pre-m thrown down.
That's what i'm talking about! Well done!
Welcome back, as Australia starts to slow down you guys start to speed up.
Miss you guys! Glad you're still watching Ryan!
1st one is my lawn thx bro 👍
NICE!!!! Now go slay that lawn!
Welcome back! We missed you!
Thank you!
I’m only here for big ned. He’s my spirit animal 😂
Missed your videos brother!
Big Ned was the man! He was my spirit animal too hahaha.
IM READY Ginja. Did the short mow and it's the greenest on the block so far. I attribute the early greenup to the early October aeration and fertilizer as well as the humates I started using last year. Threw down some IFA step 1 about a week ago.
Now I want to do 2 things and I was hoping you could help me with the timing. 1) Power rake. 2) Overseed.
Thanx Ginja, really glad to see you back in action. Stay sassy my friend.
Nice Eric! Glad to hear you're out there slaying that lawn! Power raking really sucks but it's one of the fastest ways to turn a lawn around! Just waiting on the weather to get out and run the sun joe!
@@pestandlawnginja what should be my timing for the overseed? It's a good looking lawn (no bare spots), but there is a good amount of debris underneath. I think the seed is needed to thicken it up.
My lawn is where it is now because of following your videos and copying your moves. Keep it up man.
awesome man! Keep going and slay that lawn!
That’s a great looking pooch will miss Big Ned though nice to see your back
Thanks Vito! Glad to be back
Long time no see. I will watch this first thing tomorrow. For now, off to bed. Yay something to do while avoiding all human life. So nice to see you. 😍👍😍👍😍👍😍👍
Thanks Wade! Great to hear from you!
Great video, hi there from the UK. Loving the lawn season just beginning to kick in
Rad! Love the UK crowd! Thanks for all the support
I wish I could find a lawn care company as knowledgeable as you are!
Fingers crossed you find someone!
Pest and Lawn Ginja! Love your videos! But watching them just confirms I’m in over my head with my huge lawn. How do I find a “you” ? Any recommendations? I’m in Golden Colorado and am in desperate need of finding someone to diagnose and treat. Companies like Lawn Dr ok?? I need a Ginja stat! Thank you!
Forgive me for another post. I bought Tenacity! I can’t wait to see the outcome!
No forgiveness necessary. post away! Tenacity is great for overseeding. I don't use it as a standalone pre emergent. doesn't last as long. It's a great tool to kill annual grasses and as a selective pre emergent for overseeding.
Tenacity first time user here, got it down at the right time several weeks ago. It’s been great so far, the annual grass that lined my driveway has not appeared and the oversees it taking off. Worked great for me.
Great lawn tips 👍
Thank you!
Ginjia nice to see you back glad you have a new puppy
Thanks Michael! Let's slay 2020
Great video, so much info.
You're welcome Wayne! Thanks for watching
thanks for including warn season grasses i live in south carolina
You're welcome
Great video ginja👍
Thanks!!!
Put tenacity down last July fir nutsedge and other. It's a killer.... hehe.
About to mow fir 1st time, I guess second, I did mow/ bag leaves and trash march 1st.
March 1st I put seed down. It was a warm week here in kc. I figured the March rain would take over, it did, I finally see results!
I have two areas, low spots which one is under a tree to make it worse, I'm getting grass going again. Will add lots a dirt come fall. And repeat lol.
But I plan to cut tonight, bag and wait 2 days than put some tenacity down. Wish I had a larger back pack sprayer!!!
I hope to get my lawn rocking this year.
Great channel, keep it up friend!
That's awesome Mr. Bungle! Glad to hear you're out slaying that lawn!
Im working slowly trying to save my acre. If I killed all the weeds Im pretty sure no green would be left. But Im ready to slay it! PS...love the sunjoe. Ordered one and have been using it before over seeding some areas.
If you have cool season grass you could do a tenacity treatment and overseed and get the best of both worlds. Kill the weeds and grow new grass.
I'm Ready!!!!!!
YES! That's what I'm talking about
GINJA I'M READY 2022 RIGHT ON !!!!!!!!!
YES!!! Slay that Lawn!
Love your videos! Always detailed!😎👊
Thanks George! Great to hear from you!
Pest and Lawn Ginja whooooot whoooot💪💪
👊😀
@Pest and Lawn Ginga I appreciate all the videos and product knowledge. I have been using the tenacity and speedzone and love it. Not sure if you remember but I am in PA, bucks county on a few acres. Bought the farm and been trying to attack the yard little by little. I need some advice as I have yet to dethatch or aerate or overseed. I think the lawn needs both. It’s is April 10 and about 5 days ago I put down a pre emergent 18 -00-04. I also walked the propert last 2 days and hit all the broadleafs, buttercups, onion grass etc with trancity and speedzone. I don’t know next steps because I assume since I put down preemergent I should
Not aerate and overseed? Or can I have a certain amount of time? Thanks for the help
Ginja, I'M READY!!
YES!!!! Time to slay those lawns!
Yayy!
My yard/garden is under lots of snow yet but it will melt within the next couple of months 🤣
that's awesome! Hope it comes sooner than later!
Ginja! How are you doing my man?? We don't have our grass yet, but I can't wait to get it. Your video's are getting me excited to get to work on my yard. Can't wait!! Keep the videos coming!!
Thanks BiggMurr! Stoked that you've got an up and coming project to slay!
Thanks!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting
Welcome back Ginja, I have a long winded question about soil testing so grab a cup of coffee and please read on. Late fall of 2018 I sprayed my unwanted bent grass in up state NY with tenacity. Spring of 2019 I tested my soil with a newly purchased ph meter and the results were between 5.8 and 6.3. My soil test came back with a ph of 7.3. Unsure which result was correct, I sent a soil sample to my local co-op and the result for the ph was 7.5. Due to the (believed) high ph, fifty pounds of sulfur was applied to about 5000 sqft after power raking and aerating. Then over seeded with Barenbrug kbg and fertilized using starter fertilizer in order to keep the weeds down on the bare spots over the summer. Late summer of 2019 did the same over seeding process and used tenacity as a pre-m. This spring 20 core soil samples were taken, mixed, split and sent to two facilities. One sample was sent to Spectrum Analytic and the other to Clemson. The results showed that the ph is about 7.6 on both but the phosphorus is low on one test and excessive on the other. Now for the question, how does one make soil corrections when one result is saying to raise and the other is saying to lower an element or in the first situation, the ph? Looking forward to your insight, Bill
Hi Bill! Here's my 2c. I'm not worried about fixing the soil. Only thing that really worries me is when the ph is super low and when the sodium is very high. Both are horrible to try to grow grass in.
You're ph is very similar to mine. It's a fantastic growing medium for grass. I would bet the 7.2 results and 7.6 results are the most correct. Very reputable testing centers. Your soil contents can vary throughout the entire yard. The sulfur is meant to ph down. elemental sulfur is meant to push more of a long term fix than any ammonium sulfate nitrogen based fertilizer will provide. Fertilizers temporarily push ph for 3 to 5 days. gone in a flash. The plants create there own environment around the root bases and protect themselves . People have been growing plants in the middle of a desert for centuries. Mother nature is fascinating. I wouldn't worry about "fixing" the soil. You have a great ph to deal with. Just means you can push more nitrogen with sulfur in it. You'll also want to use soil conditioners made with calcium that are derived from nitrates or sulfur like gypsum. avoid lime.
@@pestandlawnginja Thanks Ginja, I really appreciate you taking the time and digging deep into this for me. Glad your back.
Anytime William! Have a great day!
I'm jelly. My lawn has a few inches of snow sitting on it. And Rolls Royce is adorable!!
Long time no hear Bentley! Glad you commented! Go melt that snow!
@@pestandlawnginja I'd love to but we are expecting a few more inches this week. Nice to see your videos starting again!
Thanks man! Time to win
Good to see you back, I was getting worried there for a while. Sorry to hear that Big Ned won't be with you anymore but I think that Ned's mini me will carry the torch proudly. I'm getting a little verklempt here so give me a moment. Talk amongst yourselves, I'll give you a topic. Will pre emergents have an effect on the lateral spread of rhizomatic TTTF
Thanks shawn! great idea. pre emergents definitely have there place and time. thanks for the idea
@@pestandlawnginja I only ask because my total renovation TTTF was seeded last September. We got a lot of rain and not enough sun. Despite those conditions, it came up nicely and was mowed 4 or 5 times. The seed only had 13% Valkyrie LS in it. From my research, I believe it takes a certain level maturity for these rhizomes to develop, I just don't know what that level is. That leaves me on the fence about pre emergents. Thank you for your reply earlier, but I'm still a little bit confused about this grass type and what it needs.
Sorry for being so long winded and a pest, but I think you might be the most knowledgeable youtubers on the subject of RTF
To answer your question pre emergents do cause rooting issues. tall fescue has some of the deepest roots out of the cool season grasses. they can travel 12" to 20" deep. Try and find some rtf tall fescue by barenbrug. its a fantastic seed and I've had great germination success with it.
Ginja’s back! Totally taking your tip on using Tenacity and Speedzone 2 weeks before overseeding KBG. Question: how much Speedzone do you tank mix with Tenacity per 1,000 sq ft?
I mix the water at 1 gallon of water per 1000 sqft and use the labeled rates for speedzone at 1gallon and tenacity at 2gallons of water .
Good to see you back at it! Sorry about bug Ned... he was the coolest. Just got my sunjoe last week. Job is on Rona Recess again this week so I’m gonna work it! Stay bearded.
Thanks Ben!!!! Ned is a legend! Glad to hear you're slayin that lawn!
Pest and Lawn Ginja My domination line to my neighbors lasted all winter 😇 can’t wait to pop some acorns out with the sunjoe too.
That's awesome! Makes me stoked to hear that! Long live the Joneses!
Condolences brother. Ned was a cool dog man. I had two English bulldogs myself and he reminded me of Apollo. Rolls Royce!!!!! What’s up kid. Have fun on that lawn!!!!
Thanks Gino! They are family for sure! I love me them bulldogs!
Looking forward to trying the ProPeat ginja fert this year man! I’ll let ya know how it goes! I think my zoysia will thank me!
awesome! It's a great product!
IM READY!
awesome! Lets slay that lawn
I have the sun joe dethatcher, works great! I just used it a few days ago but I think I may have jumped the gun. We still have a few more frosts coming. Do you think I did it too early? I had it on the highest setting.
Another quality video. Love how you include warm season AND cool season for us if those up in Canada!
I wouldn't stress about it. it's just grass. if there was damage it can be repaired. just remember its all about the soil temps. soil temps should be 50 degrees or more and the grass should be actively growing.
well hello there Rolls Royce! he is gonna get you another 50k subscribers like Big Ned did; oh and the Ginja is back on the lawn too for 'filler' in between shots of the dog - super happy to see you back and with RR you guys just made 2020 so much better .... but I did late fall fert and short mow, now this spring my yard looking way better than everyone elses
Benjamin! Rolls Royce is a baller! Lawn Service Dog in Training. Had to get something to take the attention away from my ugly face hahaha. Thanks for the compliment. Glad to hear you're slaying your lawn! Be the Joneses in 2020!
my tall fescue became infected with something brown in color. mowed then applied some 15-0-0, . iron, and propaconazole.I now can see a rusty haze over several areas of the lawn.Think of spraying your lawn with some dirty 10w 30 oil and thats what you see in a haze in several areas. I thought of some early brown patch and just put down some strobe 50wg.
I've had that happen a few times but it was the humates and iron in the mix i was using that was causing the color disfunction.
Not too many worried about grass my man! Keep safe and I'll be back to check in
Stay safe Aaron! Have a great day
@@pestandlawnginja you too brother!
thanks!
“For beginners”,great video but this just makes an actual beginner appreciate weeds. You have a lot of knowledge but with beginners “less is more”. The more complicated you make it by providing so much information, the quicker we switch off. I’d love for you to made a video for actual beginners, because I’ve literally never seen ANYONE do those steps after winter. The most folks do is “fertilizer”.
Great video for enthusiasts though, stay safe.
Love the feedback! can you elaborate a bit more on where I lost you? i take this feedback very serious. chances are , like you're saying I'm losing people at some point and I'd like to repair that.
Pest and Lawn Ginja easy really. You say you have a few things but then you never outline what those are, but you deep dive into every step. Tell us the steps first, give a brief overview of what each does (in one sentence), then deep dive into each one by one. Basically you start simple, the extrapolate and at the end recap in the a simple format. I saw another GREAT video you did on crabgrass, but you listed so many chemicals I gave up. If I’m starting for the first time I’ll feel comfortable mixing 1 or 2 chems not 8. Also lastly when you list a chem and the properties are listed on screen please list the name of the chem in a different font. You say the name but it registers more when we read it because we will recall that spelling when searching on Amazon.
Great presentation, great video just too much info for me to feel comfortable replicating.
Ok. Appreciate it.
Ginja! I'M READY!!!
That's what I'm talking about!
Ginja I'm Ready!
That's awesome! Go slay that lawn!
HE’s BACK!!!
yes! Feels so good!
Ginja! I'm Ready!
awesome! Lets slay that lawn!
Recommending spring seeding bucking the trend brave man! I did a fall overseed last year but I still have a ton of bare spots that didn’t come in yet. Was hoping the KBG would fill in on it’s own but some areas are way too sparse. I might do the tenacity thing again. Or spot spray prodiamine in the other 80% of the lawn that filled in good idk lol. Straight kbg with no mix can be tricky but worth it in the end. Sorry to hear about the pup, dogs never live long enough but they make the best of the time they have with us.
Thanks DIY Dad! I too like to live dangerously
Lawn season is upon us, time to slay! Great video Ginja, I can tell you used a new camera setup on this one.
yes! loving the new setup. I can film for days hahaha. hopefully its a good improvement for everyone! Thanks for watching
Good to have you back! When I do my two applications of Tenacity, should I use surfactant with the first application (with Speedzone)? How about when I am doing the second overseeding application? Thanks in advance!
Yes! Surfactant on the first optional on the second depending on the active weed population.
@@pestandlawnginja Thanks for the quick reply! Since I'm going to be home for the next few weeks, I figure I might as well spend some quality time with my lawn. I bought the Tenacity, surfactant, and dye last year after watching your videos.
That's what I'm talking about! Be the Joneses
Welcome back brother
And rolls Royce!
Thanks Marcus!!! It was a fun little project!
Thanks for the info. Your comment about "dead head" I have this issue with my cool season lawn. I will be doing a shorter mow this week as I left it around 3 inches last fall and need to do a full reset. My question is you mentioned cutting into the crown to help the grass grow lower. I was under the impression that cutting the crown will potentially kill the grass? Please help.
it can put the lawn into shock. I get rid of the crown by using a dethatching device like the sun joe scarifier and dethatcher.
Bought a house recently and plan on fixing my lawn, I live in nj and when it comes to the seed selection is where I am overthinking it. Do I really need sod quality seed or is big box store stuff good enough. Front yard full sun. Backyard heavy shade. Love the channel keep the videos coming
I have a video on how grass seed is made. Price does matter. Commonly the more expensive varieties have better overall health qualities and are less prone to disease and thatch buildup.
Loving the new camera setup!!
Thanks! I heard the setup is one the legends use
Pest and Lawn Ginja 😂😂 Word. Great choice.
👊😀
Glad you’re back!! So... I’ve been looking into pro peat fertilizer. I see there are different ones with a different analysis. I have a soil sample pending results right now, in MN what would you recommend to use AFTER the first app in spring to maintain...? Would it just depend on my soil sample? And how often should it be applied ? Monthly? Or just spring , early summer, fall, and “winterizer “?
my schedule will be a tad different than what some of you need. I have some rooting issues so I'll go 1 heavy app (3/4lbs N) off the gun because bluegrass needs a push out the gate and the product pushes for 90 days. then I'll transition next month to the 13-5-8 due to the phosphorus and added potassium. I'll put it down at .25lbs N every 4 weeks throughout the summer and early fall. Then late fall I'll be using a propeat product lower in N and higher in K. That product will be with yardmastery later in the season. helps prep for overseeding as well. I'll be running everything I do under a playlist series This is my lawn 2020. If you want to copy me feel free. The rates we apply there will only be slight variants and those variables will primarily be necessity of added calcium, weather that be lime, gypsum or calcium nitrates.
I just fertilized my cold weather grass prior to seeing this video. I plan on overseeding because there are a lot of bare, thin spots, but used a high nitrogen (18,0,1). Can I add a low nitrogen, high phosphorus mix as well and still be ok to overseed?
You'll have to wait 2 to 3 weeks as the nitrogen burns off before you add a starter fertilizer. If you aerate then seed you might be ok.
Ginja! I’M READY!!!
Let's slay that lawn!
Pest and Lawn Ginja sorry about the loss of big Ned man. Gone but never forgotten! I look forward to seeing Rolls Royce in more videos.
Thanks! He was a legend for sure! Rolls Royce is his own man
Hey Ginga, fellow Beardsman here and just getting into personal lawn care after many years of neglect. I'm located in south-eastern Michigan and the weather is real wonky, 70° 🌞 2 days ago and snow flurries ❄ coming tonight. The dandelions and many other weeds are abundant. Would you suggest I start with weed control? Debris removal(power rake and scarify)? Aerate, level and overseed? If weed control is first, I just got speedzone and tenacity in the mail, when should I apply them? 🤔 Thank you so much for putting out these wonderful and informative videos and taking the time to respond!
Hi Dan! The answer to your question all depends on the soil temperatures. you have a small window to apply the seed. the window is ground temps from 55 degrees to 65 degrees ground temps. if you're still around 55 to 60 then you could chance doing two applications, one of speedzone mixed with tenacity and one 14 days later as you put the seed down. if you're already 60 degrees you need to decide to seed now or attack the weeds and seed in the fall time.
Hey Ginja! When do you power rake, apply the pre-emergent, over seed, and apply fertilizer? I'm guessing you don't want to do it all the same day? Which one should I do first and then how many days should I wait to do the other steps? Or does it even matter?
I'll be doing that today and tomorrow! You can do it all the same day. no shame in the game! Glad to hear you're out there slaying that lawn! I have a series that I run called "this is my lawn" It's in my playlist. I show everything it do! I will make a new playlist for "this is my lawn 2020". Feel free to just copy what I do. That's what it's there for.
Ginja! I'm ready!!! If only it would stop raining!! 😓
I feel you! Gotta love spring showers!
you finally ended your hibernation!!!!
Good to see you back
LOL yah I did! It wasn't easy but the bear finally woke up
@@pestandlawnginja Good to watch your videos again
@@FrenchieFrench1555 Thank you!
My lawn is fairly shaded. I live near memphis TN so I have more fescue in my yard with spots of Bermuda and zoysia but it’s like 70% clover and a few other weed types. (You
Mentioned them in a video 6 months ago) my question is what should I use to remove weeds and build a better lawn.
Sounds like you're in a transition zone. My choices will depend on if you want to keep the zoysia and bermuda. If you do look into t-zone Southern and prodiamine for your pre emergent. If you dont want the zoysia then I would do speedzone and tenacity
So great to see you are back brother. Almost there 700 to 50k🤘🏽🤘🏽
YES! Onward and upward! I won't celebrate until I get that 100k silver fishing lure award from youtube
@@pestandlawnginja What happened to Big Ned?
He suddenly passed away the first week of November. He was old and the vet wasn't sure what happened. I was lucky to have found him 4 years earlier in the local shelter. he was in pretty bad shape. fixed him up and he was the best dog i've ever had. He lived a good last 4 years.
@@pestandlawnginja Man sorry to hear that. He was part of your family and even my TH-cam family too.
@@aquienpuedainteresar4188 he is a legend for sure!
Ginja tips and tricks are the best! The Quinclorac on crab grass was jaw dropping! I can’t wait to try your next tips. I have cool season tall fescue from Jonathan Greene.
Donnie! Glad you ran with my crabgrass solution! you the man!
Hey Ginja rookie from Pennsylvania. My lawn is a mess, I believe I need to use all 3 steps ( over seed, tenacity, fertilizer) could use some guidance on when to apply each step . Like do I apply all at once on top of each other or do I space it out! Love the video’s and your passion. Just bought my thermometer tonight ! “ I Am Ready” Thanks
That's awesome hugh. You can do them in any order and all on the same day. I prefer to seed, fertilize then spray tenacity last
Hello Mr. Ginga, I’ve followed your site & directions since last summer. I need your guidance. I’m in lower New York (Long Island) and Spring is coming. I’m most interested in eliminating crabgrass. I applied Tenacity in the fall & need to know what to apply now and what/when is next. I’m watching the ground temperatures & haven’t seen anything above the mid-forties. I know that you’re busy but please some time to give me some guidance.
Thanks Lawn Ginja. I over seeded last fall and we wound up having a wet winter and it looks like germination rates were low or too much moisture? I have tenancity and speed zone and grabbing some 13-5-8 from the store. Should I apply tenacity and herbicide to stop germination, then over seed and after 14 days hit it with tenacity? A little counsel would be much appreciated. Cant wait to calibrate the battery operated sprayer.
Kristine! Glad to hear you're slaying that lawn. You're on the right track. depending on what seed you decided to go with you may need to be a bit patient. some species of bluegrass seed can be stubborn and are slow to surface. If you just want a Mulligan then you're plan is spot on. Either way if you stick to your above mentioned plan you can't lose. just remember its just grass. don't stress. You're out doing the work, it will come with time. it's worst than watching paint dry during this process.
Cool dog😎
Thanks! We are excited to have him
Thanks for all the great videos Ginja. Im looking to follow your advice and apply tenacity and speedzone as a post emergent. Then follow up with tenacity two weeks after and over seed with black beauty ultra. I live in wisconsin and temps have been fairly cold recently, 40s, but soil thermometer says 50 degrees. Just wondering if you could offer any advice on when to make the first post emergent application. Im eager to put it down as i see some weeds starting to pop up but i dont want to put it down too early. Thanks bud.
I would do it now!
Love your Videos ! I am a new Homeowner ,my lawn has tall fescue and i also find KY blue and plenty weeds and clover... totally lost because everybody always talk about a cool / warm season grass. I live in the transition zone . Can you do one showing "What to do in Spring and Fall" what's the best grass etc? thanks
Working on it! Transition zones can be a tough one!
