Just found your channel. I really like it! You explain things really good, no annoying loud music in the background and your videos are put together really well! Thank you 🙏 🙏
@millielovedonuts7158 thank you for your support. I'm glad I could help 🙏🏾
Can I seed after applying these ? Love your information and channel
After i use the water hose method, can i keep my sprinkler system on as soon as the next day or should i wait for a day or two before turning it back on?
@@SC_RC1478 You can turn the water back on after 24 hours
How many days after a mow should we use the water hose method? And how soon can we apply grass seed afterwards?
Will this kill quack grass?
@@drakemia4079 No
Thankyou very much. What can stop quack grass?
@@drakemia4079 you'll need glysophate or a weed and grass killer to kill it
@@LawnAmateur ok ,thanks again .
So did you put down any covering for the grass seeds, like peat moss or straw?
@@seannoh672 No
Hasn’t worked for me, I have brown patch and I can’t get rid of it with this product
@@marcusfabiousmaximus3463 Sometimes you need 2 treatments 14 days apart. And also try Scott's disease ex
Lawn looks great. Question. Wouldn’t you want to set the dial to 2 and not 4 if you are doing a crosswise spread pattern? I thought the settings on the bag were made for spreading in only one direction, not two. 🤨
@MixingGBP thank you. No, that's the correct way to spread your fertilizer on that setting.
So set on 4 and go crosswise?
@@MixingGBP north/south pass then east/west
Would an average strength man be able to pick it up? I have a hatchback (Prius) no trailer.
@hammercpa No it's going to take atleast 2 people to pick this thing up. It's very heavy
@@LawnAmateur good to know, thank you.
Thanks enjoyed the video. I tried it and it killer most weeds, but 2 weeks sense and crabgrass uneffected.
@@John-xk2ud No problem, the crabgrass may need another application. Some tougher weeds may need a little extra
Have you used the sta green fast acting iron 20%?
@ChadSmith-qk2vn not yet. I actually have a couple of bags that I plan to use
I thought that bag covers up to 600 square feet
Or did you use two bags
@@markrob9752 I used 2 bags
@@LawnAmateur Thanks, I brought one bag yesterday and I see how that one bag was enough for my 750 square feet. I'll got buy some more
@markrob9752 yes it spreads very well. You really don't want it too thick because it'll smother the seed
Is this better than hydretain?
It's does the same, just a cheaper alternative
Hey bro was up have not heard from you in a while we'll my st augustine grass was turn yellow so I watched a few videos did the pull test grass came straight up so I treaded for grubs and chinch bugs now my grass looking a whole lot better think bout putting down some sta green fast acting iron and some 2in1 or the pro max next week
@juniouswilliams2680 I'll be back soon. Those insects and grubs will destroy your lawn very quickly. You can definitely apply the iron with the other fertilizer they'll work well together
@@LawnAmateur I would like to send some pictures but I don't know how to do it lol
Thankyou
@@drakemia4079 No problem 👌🏾
So this doesn’t harm st augustine or any other type of healthy grass?
@@greatjuankenobi217 This one isn't made for St Augustine or centipede grass type. You'll need the purple top
@@LawnAmateur Thank you!!
Thank you for the details. I watched to the end
Thank you 👌🏾
You usually use liquid product. Is there a reason why you went dry. Thank you.
I rotate between granular and liquids
Ty for the video! Need to get me some of that triazicide. By the way where did you get those white glasses?
I got the glasses from Walmart. They're also available at Home Depot and Lowe's. Thank you for watching 👌🏾
Gonna add some DEF and see what happens!
Thank you very good information .
@@drakemia4079 No problem 👌🏾
Is that ryegrass
@@brianbent3148 Turf type tall fescue
What stater fertilizer do you recommend?
I like to use Scotts built for seed starter fertilizer
@@LawnAmateur after you use the detaching method do you scarify at all after? And do you use any type of pead moss to protect the seeds from wind or birds?
@@nelsonmedina2016 All I do is dethatch and overseed. No peat moss for this process
@@LawnAmateur I did see the Scott build starter fertilizer. Is that the 24-25-4 you recommend
@@nelsonmedina2016 Scott's triple action built for seed 21-22-4
Look at that man's yard! -- You can't argue with success.
@chrisf5007 thank you 👌🏾
Im jealous af of that gorgeous lawn🤤🤤.
@@silverdropstang 🤣👌🏾 thank you
This spring I put down Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue grass seeds on a mostly bare yard. Grass started growing along with others weeds mainly Crabgrass. I pulled out the weeds with a Grandpa Weeder especially the Crabgrass thinking that the it would taking over the lawn with it being so much of it. Now I have hole all throughout my yard! Is there anything that I should do before the winter besides filling in the holes with soil ?
@@sista513 overseed the lawn again late summer/early fall and put down a pre emergent at the end of fall to stop weeds from coming back
@@LawnAmateur Thank you so much especially for your quick reply back!!
Amazing grass brother!! Appreciate the tips!
@@Sisco7 thank you 👌🏾
This is a helpful video. Trying on St. Augustine grass. Will need to lightly water in as it been so hot here in SE Texas.
OMG! I attempted to apply the Sta-Green Multinutrients today, and it clogged up every hose-end sprayer I attempted to use! There's a lot of granular residue in these bottles. Any suggestions?
I've never had that issue. Did you shake up the product before using it?
@@LawnAmateur Yes. I even strained it with a cloth. I have about 6 bottles. I'm going to check a different one. The one thing I'm learning about lawn care is that it's a SPORT!
@@gazzelle4 🤣 it is
@@LawnAmateur Going through your timeline, you didn't just wake up and have a nice lawn. It's been a 4-5 year process. I can say after my first full season in the game, this will be my best "August Lawn" ever (April-August is a fight!). Thanks for all of the helpful insight on strategy and products.
@gazzelle4 it's a work in progress. Each year, you just want it to get a little bit better until it's fully trained. It gets easier after that. Then you can do the regular fertilizing, mowing and watering.
Hi. So when using this product, how much water from the faucet should you let out that will mix with this spectrade solution? Thx
@narmislien on this bottle the faucet pressure doesn't matter it'll mix properly on its own
If I want to change the grass type I have, can I just keep seeding and over time the grass I want will take over? Or do I have to completely pull up the grass I have now if I want to change the grass type?
@JasonLReleford Yea, that is one way to change the grass type is to keep overseeding year after year with the new cultivar depending on what type of grass you currently have. If you have an alpha grass type like bermuda grass it won't happen but if you have a cool season grass like fescue, rye grass, or KBG then yes overseeding it will work over time.
I bought one at a yard sale a few years ago, and it works great. Thanks for sharing your knowledge sir
No problem thank you for your support
Thank you sir
No problem 👌🏾
I. Am glad to hear you say we don’t need brand names that cost so much , especially in this economy ! 👍. Here in Missouri the spring starts out well but then the weeds go insane .
What type of grass seed you got there?
@@quincysthillaire Turf type tall fescue by Greenview
@@LawnAmateur thank you appreciate it!
Dude your grass is 🔥🔥🔥 how you like the scotts elite spreader? I’m subscribe to the channel. 😊 Phone
@mikewilson9812 Thank you 👌🏾. It's a good spreader. It's smooth and maneuvers very well because of the rubber tires.
Are you up north? I never seen nobody grass like that from North Carolina to Florida.
@@Thats_X_ Yes CT
I live in the northeast and have a crazy amount of nutsedge in my lawn. Watched one of your other videos where you used the spectracide nutsedge killer that attaches to the hose. I applied this yesterday. No rain is expected until late in the week. Do you recommend I water the grass? Also, what late summer fertilizer would you recommend? Appreciate it!
You can water the grass that's perfectly fine. For a late summer fertilizers you can use you can use a basic 10-10-10 or use sta green 8-0-2 this is located at Lowe's.
Thanks!
Is this tool good for clay soil
@@satvinderd413 yes
Great information!
@@taneesha00 Thank you 👌🏾
Looks nice good job 👍
@@leonardhadley3820 Thank you 👌🏾
So it won’t kill my shrubs or trees?
@@danainzinna531 No
What to do to get raid of bermuda grass from my bhaiya lawm
Can you pour concentrated solution into the handheld sprayer?
@jboy1757 Yes, you can, but you still have to dilute it
Can I use the Spectra mid summer, or will it burn the lawn?
@d.ferguson1546 as long as temps are under 90 degrees you'll be fine. You can apply it early morning or later in the evening also so it doesn't burn the lawn.
Damn! Wish I would’ve seen this video sooner. I’m definitely gonna use this next summer.
What grass seed you use?
@@eduardo13405 Turf type tall fescue by Greenview
One more question, I’ve never done the overseer process and I really want to do it this year. I live in Wisconsin when do you think I should start on that?
@@eduardo13405 late summer August to early September. That'll give your seed enough time to germinate and establish a strong root system before it becomes too cold
Can you use the granular weed stop bag in this video around September/October when I aerate and overseed my lawn. Will the granular weed stop inhibit grass seed from sprouting? Thanks
@narmislien no you can't use this during overseed. This will stop your seeds from germinating. Wait until after the grass has been mowed 3 times before applying this
They neighbors never cut their grass and now we are getting the UGLY Weed Our Law is new A year old
@@conservativeamber1216 I hate that
This is a great video and I am about to head out and use the non-selective grass and weed killer in the landscaping areas of my yard. Also, will be using it along the separate areas of my driveway. Thanks for this great video it is very informative.
@paulcastillo5235 No problem I'm glad I could help 👌🏾
