The Lawn Care Nut so if I’m doing a prodiamine and dithiopyr application would I still put down the speedzone? And if so how long after second application of produamine and dirhiopyr would I put the soeedzone down? Thanks for the help
The Lawn Care Nut thank you for all of your videos they are fantastic sir. I live in Houston Texas and as you probably are aware our weather has been crazy as usual however I used milorganite in my front and back yard about two weeks ago and have started to see brief results do you think I got ahead of myself I just want to learn the begin and end times as far as fertilization for my yard and should I do this every 4 weeks and how much should I water usually I water three to four times a week any help would be greatly appreciated my name is Jason
When I try to open it says "this file was trashed by owner"
Thanks! I’m from the northeast and I’m having issues with moss taking over my lawn. How should I do my early spring start up? Can I go straight to pre emergent and fert or should I try and get the moss up first ? Thank you
Man, that 28 mins was full of good info. Not sure I could find a better video with as much content in 28 mins than that! Thank you.
thanks bro! Glad you enjoyed it! 👊
The clips from the church and Al’s house in Indiana takes me back to when I found his channel and started this obsession. Fond memories! Whenever I start nitpicking my lawn, I have to remember how happy that guy 4 years ago would have been with it. 👌
Awesome thanks bro!
Eh Ess ....when I found the videos with Allen in that Church lawn, Milorganite was $9 a bag, jumped to $13 and today I saw Milorganite for $19 a bag at HD, new formulation and less lbs.
My Lawn looks amazing but I have to make adjustments, I can’t justify that kind of price especially when taking care of 1/2 acre of lawn.
Same here!
@@smokestack9795 The price of milorganite is getting ridiculous. I'm in the same boat with almost a half acre.
@@burton158c I usually get it at Walmart, but checked on 2/28/21 $14 a bag
Spring 21! Here for tips 🙌
Spring 22!

If literally a single company in my area was as passionate about taking care of my lawn as you are they’d be rich and I’d be watching. I should be thankful that they aren’t, because now I’m doing it and having a blast.
In Colorado with Killer sun, Spring one week, 10 degrees the next , 50 degree daily swings very common, native
“soil” is hardpan clay, takes forever to build it up, ......but then, ....and still, ....the mountains are beeeyutifull
Putting time stamps in the video is great putting them in the description with links thats 👌🤘👌
I remember when your first uploaded those church videos. They got me started in turning my lawn from weeds to striped grass.
ArmyFtBall Beat Army!
This has been incredibly helpful for me. I cancelled our TruGreen services and I’ll be tackling it all myself. I’m so excited!!
Awesome! Have fun with it and enjoy the mow ! 👊
Thank you Allyn. Loving the cool season attention! Learning a ton, much appreciation.
👊
When I first watched those Church lawn rehab videos all those years ago, I looked at my down trodden lawn and said, "If the LCN says I can do it, then I can." And I did. Thanks, man.
heck yes!
"a couple of two, tree nAHtches lower..." love how the Chicago accent just flows in and out like its nothing. Great video, yet again. Can't wait to get into the lawn and thrower down!
Alexander Rae Lol, my ears perked too
I LOVE the Lawn Care Nut? I have learned so much and am much more involved in the care of our lawn now! My husband will ask me questions now! You just have to follow the recipe!!
Best sit down and listen on lawn care that you've done in a while. Gets me focused.
I listened to this while at work. Now I gotta watch it again at home so I can have my note pad handy! Lots os schooling going on. Awesome video.
I bought a house in Pittsburgh suburbs last summer. Corner lot about 7000sqft of lawn. I'm a NYC native so this is very educational. Thank you.
thank you for posting videos to help alot of people. im from southern oregon and winter for us is either really good or really nothing but either or its freezing. Iv worked on golf courses in the area for about 5 years and going, I know there a little different from a normal front yard. I am just trying to get the best ways and tips to make my yard look the best it can. Iv watched you for about a year now and have learned alot and thank you for your time
Winter Saves our butts in MN. Last year I started getting crabgrass late in the summer because we removed Trees in our yard mid-summer, the shade for 30 years has thinned the grass so when sun hit it, of course, we got every empty grass spot full of crabgrass. Best part..... Winter came, killed all the crabgrass, then gave me a heads up on how to prepare for this year.
I've done 4 spring lawn Reno's using 100% tall fescue of a single variety, no till. 100% success, take that alan
Hoorah! Nice work 😄🔥🔥🔥
Awesome awesome content! Must have stopped the video 20 times to scratch notes about my seasonal lawn care plan!
Live in the South Bend area so I really appreciate the Crown Point example data.
After watching this video, I can say am an expert on grass.. lol. Great info, just what I need to work on my lawn. Thank you!
Thanks for your tips. These are helping me keep our turf athletic fields in shape in Michigan's Upper Peninsula....super short growing season, but awesome results using your tips!
Generally now I dethatch in mid August to help also get rid of POA trivialis and creeping bentgrass.
I've heard you should not plant new grass seed and fertilize at the same time. Which should I do first? How long should I wait in between? When should I spread lime?
I have 6,300 sq ft in Boston. Soil temp is 57 now. I ordered your 24-0-6 Flagship Bio-Nite fertilizer and it arrived. 1,000 sq ft will be new lawn planting for the first time. The rest has patchy grass (some sections less than 30% grass). I bought the property three years ago and did no treatment other than mow and water. I've dethatched twice and it looks much better. That helped take up dead grass and excess moss. There were too many mulched up leaves and other debris left over from the Fall.
Any advise is appreciated. I love you videos!
Here in Redmond WA, the moss that yelled at me last week is evidence enough that we had a mild winter (three days of snow, temps seldom below freezing, and never long). So, I've already thrown down Moss Out. And I really have to get my first cut in soon!
yeah you guys have the worst trouble with all that stuff. Challenges everywhere you go!
I use 28-03-10 on my Bermuda in Arkansas. It has 3% iron so it makes the lawn look amazing.
I have a townhome, yet here I am 14 minutes in. 😂💪🔥 Super fun video pal.
So Brian is a Lawn Care Nut? Very cool.
Always love the vids. Here's an idea: Break up this massive video into a playlist, use YT search data via trends to determine which questions people are asking around each topic.
Sven, while I am an avid YT user, I am no power user. Would you care to expand on "YT search data via trends"? Tnx.
Awesome video! Always love it when you throw in some old school footage.
I appreciate this information a lot. I've watched a lot of your videos and have come to some of my own conclusions. First and foremost, have a season (or 2) plan to get everything to my happy point. Second: Don't rush it, but don't wait either. And finally, enjoy the experience. It's gone from a chore to enjoyable as I've done more and more. We're nearly to the happy point with our lawn now. A few bare spots and leveling to do until I'm happy. But man, it's nice getting compliments.
wonderful choice of music.. sit back and learn sumn.. much appreciated
I live in Noblesville, IN and our 55 degree mark is pretty close to the same as Crown Point, tax time. In 2021, a weird year, we already reached 55 soil temps by the third week of March. Caught me off-guard and the air temps are going to stay well above 60 for most of this week before going down to the 50s. I skipped pre-emergent last year and paid the price with a real problem with crabgrass. Very concerned about this year, have not gotten the prodiamine down yet. Thanks to my program last year, my yard stayed green until mid-February and then greened up early March as the snow was melting away. It's beautiful. My neighbors yards are still pretty brown but that has its benefits and drawbacks. Had no choice except to mow this weekend (twice and down to 2 inches), at least 3 weeks earlier than usual. Might be too late for the prodiamine first pass but its going down this week with my fingers crossed.
Thanks for putting this out Allyn. This is my reminder to start thinking about my lawn. Lookin at April to begin throwin er down in Algonquin, IL
Over bye dare ! 😂
I put my seed down October 26 kgb. It took a few weeks and a couple frost and started growing. Buried in snow from end of December melting now and it kept growing under snow
Ive read a lot of conflicting information about your position on the NPK choices for spring fertilization. Assuming that a decent fertilization took place in the fall, would you not want to see a relatively lower N reading and a significantly higher P reading in order to facilitate more robust root system development rather than just getting a giant shot of top growth out of the grass this early in the season? Admittedly, I've yet to finish the whole video so perhaps this is a scenario specific choice, but either way I'd love to hear anyone else's opinion on this. Excellent content and thanks again for all the work you put into these videos, very helpful. Thanks!
I love watching and learning from your videos...give it coming..Thanks
Good deal. I am a beekeeper and I stress about what I put down and when. If I can I try and time my herbicide and grub apps when it will be cooler and less bees flying. At dusk before an overnight rain is perfect.
haha I had my video muted for a min and you look like you are a DJ throwing down beats.... about doing basic dude stuff. I bought my first house three years ago and you really educated me and allowed my soil and grass to live again, love the passion you bring to the yard.
Like the old video clip that's where my journey started back in 2016. Watched all your videos that winter preparing for 2017.
Awesome channel! I love that you haven't forgot about us working guys up North and still give good information for cool season grass even though you live in the sunshine state.
Enjoyed it. The music makes me want to go to an Early Bird dinner.
I like the mower reviews. Event he riding ones I don't want because the weight of them would ruin my yard. Changing the blades is what I hate doing
Thank you Allyn, I'm in the transition zone (NC), and I started last September with rehabing my crappy yard with a blend of tall fescue and rye. I followed a lot of advice found on your channel and others. Since then, the grass has stayed dark green and pretty healthy. I maintained it with a winter fertilizer as well and you're right about our mild, almost non existent winter this year. My only complaint was not putting out enough grass seed so therefore there's some bare spots. I thought I might try overseeding with a top quality tall fescue this spring but after this video, I decided to wait till the fall for that. I've already put down a small bag of Humic DG (need a lot more), and follow your recommendations with pre emergent and then a good fert. I'll continue to enhance the soil and strengthen the fescue I have then overseed in the fall.
ALLYN is my grass sensei 🥋
THANK YOU
Many many years ago, the KMart gardener, on the radio, stated putting grass seed in the freezer over night would trick the seed so it thought it was coming out of winter.
Man you were buff back in '13! Thank you so much for the video.
Spring 22! Here for tips 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Northeast pa. My property is 2 acres of lawn i mow and on a hill so its tough to water. Mowing often and at 3.25in made a huge improvement over the last few years since i moved in. My problem is fert the entire property is so expensive. Never tried air8 so thanks for the tips im gonna give that a try on the rocky soil. Need to get the best bang for the buck while staying affordable
I scalped /power raked mine, best yard in the neighborhood now. (only starter fert so far) First time home owner, South Central South Dakota. - Also seeded, but the germination rate was disappointing
We just built a new house. Lawn was sodded with KBG. Sod was placed right on top of the clay soil after final grading. Greened up quickly this spring. One half of the front lawn is dark green. The other half is a lighter more yellowish green. There is a definitely sharp line of demarcation where one sod stops and other begins, like they came off two different rolls of sod. Should I throw some high N fertilizer on the lighter side to make it match better? Newbie on lawn care here. Love your videos. (In KCMO) Thanks for any tips.
Re: the dethatcher, the GW model’s major advantage is the weight (30lbs maybe), it’s much more accessible/usable for one person to transport and use vs. a rental dethatcher that weighs hundreds of lbs.
At 10:36 I Scalped and power detached the heck out of my lawn on April 7th. And actually hoped half of it would die. And then reseeded with various elite varieties of kbg and a little rye.
Great knowledge as always. And maybe just a refresher course from year to year
How long between the pre emergent and nothing before I throw down fert?
suggestion for those with dogs who really mess up the yard during rainy fall and wet winter? as far as seeding in s[ring, and dealing with large sections of basically mud?
Dogs and trees, natural enemies to lawns. If your dogs tear it up that bad then perhaps one of the added expenses of owning a dog is to resod every year. Or go with synthetic turf. Grass just will not grow well on a playground. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you. 👊
Love your videos and buy products from you - had to mention it's too funny I grew up in FL and couldn't take the heat anymore and moved to TN, and you moved from IN to FL
Great Vid Big Al........i did buy some Bayer grub killer that says its kills grubs with in 24hrs that worked really good.
yes that is a good one if you need the corrective kill for sure.
I'm sticking with refurbishing my lawn up here in the PNW this spring with Scotts products. If I did the fall program I'll have a kazillion leaves on my lawn in a soaked boggy soil. Leaves kill the lawn and I'm not getting rid of my trees to have the perfect lawn. I've tried the fall approach and it doesn't work for my lawn. I'm hoping the Scotts system to control crabgrass and promote turf buildup pays off for the summertime since I don't have an irrigation system for my 500 sqft lawn area. Yeah, that's what it's been reduced to over the years-1200 sqft down to 500 sqft and backing the edge off from the concrete sidewalk and driveway. Crossing my fingers with spring and Scotts. I'm new to all of this "treat your lawn like a member of the family" and the learning curve is climbing. Wish me luck.
Great advice! Because of you, my lawn looks much better.
I finally got some sprinklers replaced and am starting to use the tuna can test.
Much better to know now how much areas are getting.

A lot of great information! I appreciate your expertise and willingness to share your knowledge!
so much info brah! just bought a house with a decent size lawn to care for with nice landscaping in Mooresville NC - zone 7b, got lots to learn about my fescue lawn and am grateful for you sharing your knowledge!
Found you last fall when I did my first aeration. Just bought my first Bio Stimulant Pack. You're amazing! Videos are awesome!
Found a 22 inch bluebird on craigslist for $275 last season best lawn investment I have made in years.
Found Gordon's Speed Zone at Farm and Fleet in Northern Illinois. That stuff works great! Thanks for the awesome tips.
This is some golden ass info! Those are some very prominent towns you named in Illinois south of a Chicago. Wealthy to damn near rich ppl in those towns. You had some A1 contracts back then. Thanks for the info fam!
You're a lawn genius!
Thank you Allyn for sharing your expertise with us newbies, 😆 I love the music you use in the background as well. I live in the coastline of NC I have a lot of crabgrass, clovers and dandelions in my centipede grass, it's starting to get warm and I wanted to know do I use the 3-1 first or fertilizer? Right now my grass is looking very straw like in a lot of areas so I want to get a jump on things this year. I'm learning so much from your videos thanks again 🌳🎋🌲
Looking forward to those 50 lawn temps. Thanks Alan
You should cover Pythium in one of your videos. Your experiences and how over watering or poor drainage can create perfect conditions for this disease that could wipe out your lawn.
What grass seed would you recommend for Columbus, OH in mostly sun and high traffic of 5 very active kids? Thank you for your videos, I am learning sooo much!!!!!!
What if you have a couple of big dogs that like to dig and eat the grass roots? Are there products and application timelines that are not a danger to your dogs?
Great Video! Thank You for all the helpful information 👍
Yes I love the greenworks
North east Wyoming just got more snow... soil still 38. Waiting for sunshine to dry out and mow. Looking at the pre emergent guide to apply once soil is warm.
Question regarding aeration in the spring vs air-8? I understood you to say you don’t recommend aeration in the spring, so why would I need the air-8 in the spring as you recommend in this video?
Thank you for this video. I'm glad I found it. I'm in NWI. Very helpful! 👌
Love the knowledge here! Thank you!
Thank you Allen.
I appreciate your clarity. Thank you. 😊 Just subscribed.
Thanks - in NorCal transition zone, had a good rake today and getting ready to throw down Milo and Prodiamine (0-0-7) on Monday. A little late, but had to find an alternate to Yard Mastery as the 50lbs bag was overkill for my 1200 sqft lawn.
Lawn Care nut what a great video I'm going to let you know I'm from Lowell Indiana and we had a bad winter cold and a lot of snow there's still a few inches of snow on the ground my question is how do you feel about buying fertilizer from a co-op I like to buy it from The Co-op. it seems a lot cheaper and I have about 10,000 square yard . My mom and dad are down in Florida they are snowbirds so you guys enjoy the weather. I enjoy your videos keep them coming I wish you still lived up here
I live in upstate NY. Can I control weeds on 1 1/2 acres with granular weed and feed only or do I also need liquid weed killer.Thanks Great channel!
New home owner here. I was dead set on seeding this spring. I did a complete renovation last fall and seeded then. My lawn is pretty thin now. Lots of bare patches. Now after watching this video I’m torn. Should I lay down a pre emergent and try to protect all that new grass I laid down in the fall? If I do that, when can patch bare spots?
Love the videos getting a little spring fever even though I'm under snow funny you should talk about speed zone l bought some T-Zone and will use as my weed control
good choice! spring will be here soon and you can spray it angry!! 😂
Absolutely amazing info in this video!!!! Talk about value added Alan! Thank you so much as always bud!
🤘👊
Scott’s has a new product called UltraFeed NPK 40-0-5, can this be used during my first pre emergent?
Man you make very good videos.
Thanks for all the info. I just detach my lawn and apply pre emergent and i was about to trow seed but it looks like is no a good idea. I am ginna save that bag of seed for fall and apply high nitrogen fertilizer.
I live in kansas city mo.
Thanks again 😎🍺
No more starter fertilizer for cool season grasses? Just regular fertilizer with high nitrogen content and pre-emergent?
Thanks for the great videos and all the information Hayne. Can you recommend something to kill wild onions or wild garlic? Thanks
Nice need more videos on cool season turfs yes thanks al
Very good stuff but some conflict. Early in video you mentioned aerating after pre emergent and most would aerate first. Later in video you mentioned power raking then pre emergent which i agree.
Early you noted high nitrogen in spring then later mention lower nitrogen in spring.
This was very informative and prevented me from making a big mistake that I was on the verge of making. Question: if I apply pre-emergent in the spring (Buffalo,NY) when is a good time to apply seed to fix some pretty sizeable bare spots(only dirt there)? Thanks for all of your help!!
Thank you Allyn ... I follow the cool lawn schedule and have a few questions... When can i put down grub prevention, before or after my pre-emergent application? Also, when should i put down the Speed Zone application for clover...before the 2nd application on pre- emergent? I don't know if the prodiamine will cancel the effectiveness of GrubEx and SpeedZone if I put them down weeks apart. Thank you!
Grub Ex in mid spring. Speed Zone is a post emergent weed killer so you spray it on the clover once you see it. It will work VERY well on clover. The pre-emergent is not effected by the grub ex or by the speed zone. All separate apps that do not play together.
@@Thelawncarenut Thank you!
Packed full of great info. Thanks.
Tinley Park here checking in!! Love you site and info.
Big problem with new homes in midwest is they take out good soil and replace it with clay crap soil.
The good soil is sold for major profits and people buy these new homes for 250,000 on up and end up with hard to manage yards.
Hard to grow anything.
Yay! Thanks for the video, very informative. I'm in the transitional zone of southern CA and it's hard to find good advice nowadays... everyone is going to a drought tolerant yard. :(
Great job, buddy. So much good info, I had to re-watch 4 times. 🤔
Dropping lots of knowledge 👍🏻
Been watching your videos for a while now. Would like to see more recomendations on weed control products we can buy in the store and not online. For example is spectracide any good and scotts triple action weed n feed.
