I set mine at 16. It’s possible that we’re not calibrated the same so keep an eye on how much product you’re using over a known area.

Probably too late. If you have active grubs you’ll need to use a different product. Look for products that say it kills grubs. Active ingredients are often Grub products that contain carbaryl, imidacloprid or bifenthrin.

The SunJoe dethatcher is the spring like module. The blades are the scarifier, which scratches up the ground for better seed contact. I chose not to rent an aerator because I’m tired of hauling machines home from rental stores. Aeration is useful if you have very hard soils, I’ve done it in years past but have gotten away from the rental game and my lawn is still thriving.

Glad you enjoyed it. I’m an amateur videographer but it’s fun. I actually just picked up a replacement blade.

Thanks. Absolutely purchase products where it's priced the best, I do too. When I made the video I spoke about where I got it at the time.

Yes shop around. It is Expensive, but the usage rate is lower.

I don’t believe there a scam. They’re monitoring stations that when hit get bait installed that kills colonies. They’re not for ridding known infestation in a home, more early warning and/or prevention. I believe they’re heavily used in south eastern US by commercial pest companies and often beneficial when selling home as a means to certify that proper prevention methods have been employed. The stations I installed I self monitor.

As per manufacturer: Simply attached the product to your garden hose, turn on the water, and use your thumb to activate the sprayer. BioAdvanced Lawn Root Moisturizer measures 32-ounces and treats up to 5,000 sqaure feet. Does this answer your question?

@@LawnJourneys yes, and thank you for your quick reply! I went out there and did just that but it seemed wrong as if it was just spraying water and no product so that's what started my search for videos to show how it was being attached. It's my 1st home and I'm new at this! I'll give it another try tomorrow ☺️ thanks again!

@@shontaenorwood7076 You should just push the bottle to On, the flow should look sudsy on the lawn. I’ve never had a defective bottle that doesn’t flow the product but that’s a possibility.

Application is effective up to 4 months. Water it in 1/4” H2O after application.

Coming soon! Appreciate you!

Thanks so much, appreciate the positive comments and glad to hear it was useful 😆

Negative. Flying insects.

Score! I did the same thing and bought a number of bottles on sale. I just applied mine as things have been heating up here. I didn’t video it , trying not to be repetitive with vids.

If you have my model I think I took mine apart in this video. Otherwise google you model for instructions, it’s usually easy to replace. DynaTrap Refit and Use czcams.com/video/-epw1muZr9E/video.html

Bees are the all important link to successful propagation of crops. Pollinators are at risk in the US from pesticides and non-native bee species. Agree it’s just one but wanted to acknowledge it as I’ve gotten more than one critical comment about the Dynatrap capturing more than mosquitoes. Thanks for checking out the vid. I still run my Dynatrap 👍

Yes and thanks. I used Root Moisturizer one last season. I was just noticing a few dry spots and thinking about picking something up. Thanks!

What state do you live in? My Ollies is bare!

Glad I could help!

Great question. I was thinking of doing a new fungus video this season. I use Azoxystrobin (Azoxy) 2SC Fungicide. The manufactuer directions address it as a systemic fungicide that should be watered in with 1/4" of H2O. I generally cut the lawn and apply same day or day after, then irrigate.

Thanks. It comes in better every year. I guess it’s from all the feeding. Of course summer stress and disease can strike anywhere and any time. Hope your turf is well too.

Never had a problem inside. You?

Thanks 👍. Documenting what I’m up to. Appreciate you reaching out.

Thanks. It’s worth the effort, fungus can really wreak havoc on the turf.

@@LawnJourneys yes. I was going to wait till June 1st to put down my first preventive app but already had a couple of fungus diseases going on a good 10 days ago. Ugh. I too purchased prop and azoxy liquid online.

Love ya!

Great Video as always. Your a genuine dude and I respect that. 👍🏻

@@SuperTA329 Appreciate it. I’ve enjoyed the video process. Just sharing what I’m doing but probably winding down on lawn videos after this season. Maybe share something other down the road. I need to start watching for fungus next! Catch you on insta.

Frog Rock, it’s a great place to learn.

Yes, this is why its worth the the time to collecta soil sample and use the results to make the correct choice. If I do another Soil pH video I'll spend more time pointing this out and add some online references. Thanks.

😆. I do like his products. I bounce back and forth between Andersons and YM. Lots of good products besides those too. I think the key is effort. Keep the turf fed, protect from insects and fungus. It all adds up to an outstanding lawn.

Thanks for letting me know. Lots of great products to choose from. 👍

Very true. Thanks for mentioning it 👍

Agree. I mentioned in another comment that I didn’t think it was a”rip off.” All fert is expensive these days. Regardless, I got a great result. There are a lot of effective fertilizers out there and I’m a fan of more than one. Thanks for adding to the conversation. 😆

I didn’t think it was much different in cost than any other fert these days. Everything at the big box store is $70+, NJ prices. What’s your go to, how much and where? Thanks.

@@LawnJourneys Sign up for the Yard Mastery email list so you're notified whenever they have a sale. That typically happens automatically whenever you buy something from them. And don't buy the 18 lb bags covering 5k sq ft because those are still expensive even when on sale. I usually buy the 45 lb bags which gives me three applications on my 5k sq ft lawn. I tried the Stress Blend fertilizer but didn't really see much benefit from it in the summer. But the Freedom 17-7-6 is a really good quality fertilizer. You can apply it even in the middle of summer and it won't burn your lawn because it's generally slow release. I haven't tried their Flagship fertilizer yet but I suspect it would be good as well.

@@CR-ow2wpI liked the stress, used it two seasons ago. Kept a nice green in the summer heat. Lots of options. Definitely leverage a sale👍

@@LawnJourneys If you haven't gotten some yet, it's not too late to stock up on Oceangro. It's $7.99 a bag until April 30 at various farms and landscape suppliers in NJ. Similar effect to Milorganite, but much cheaper. I still need to get some myself this weekend.

@@CR-ow2wp Thanks for sharing. I’ll take a look and see if it’s available near by.

I used to run it on a timer , evening and nights, but it’s great at catching flies. We also have day biting mosquitos in NJ. I don’t recall seeing bees in the trap but will pay closer attention this season. Agree bees are important to all life/ecosystem.

Lots of choices out there. I like to try more than one. The key is to feed your turf more often if your goal is to elevate your lawn. Insect and fungus awareness/prevention or treatment is also important.

Yes it’s been mostly cool and wet. You may be right, straight to heat. I’ll likely circle back to my favorite PGF Complete, hard to stay away from it.

I paid $74 for Lesco at a big box, applied to a relatives lawn. It’s all expensive. What are you using, I’d consider trying it. With that said I’ve used the YM summer stress in the past and was really pleased with the results.

@LawnJourneys that lesco bag covered a bigger area I bet. That yard mastery is just way overpriced and your paying too much for useless filler. I use urea, and andersons products . I fell down the rabbit whole as well but luckily got out of it before I spent too much money on nothing

@@toddsreellawn8905PGF Complete is my all time favorite, I share that every year in a video, including last year. It’s also pricey but the prill size and color response is outstanding. I was exclusively Andersons last season and likely will run it again this year. I used to supplement with a lot of soil ammending products with great results but everything has gotten too expensive and other hobbies have taken priority. I’ve found some middle ground to still have a great lawn without going overboard.

I have to agree with regarding YM. I put this stuff down two years ago got stuck in the rabbit hole also. My wife even noticed a difference between YM and Andersons. Needless to say m back with old faithful Andersons.

@@garykellettjr4825Andersons has long been a quality fert, I used it almost exclusively last season. With that said, I like to try other products from time to time.

Love your YT handle 😆 Yes it does produce a nice dark green with my turf. Its even better since I did the video. Stay well!

Always. I’ve been pouring them out under my bird feeders. If I do an update video I’ll mention it too 🙂

Its expensive but I believe that soil is very important. I've been doing one app per year, mostly due to cost. Now I want to order some!

3lb/1000 ft2 generally gives 3-5 months. In NJ a March app generally followed by the other half in May. Those two apps come close to max for the year. If you do a fall app I change up and use Dithiopyr (another pre emergent).

It traps many nuisance insects. Probably most effective mosquito prevention is removing standing water around property.

Thanks. Not doing as frequently as past, but I enjoy the video process. I’ll share my first fertilizer results in the next 1-2 weeks.
