    Bermuda grass that is established will always bounce back no matter the beatings it take, because it can take a beating. With great lawn care, you will forever have a great lawn. Thanks for the videos.

    Even though you like the small 18lb bags, they still need to offer a 50lb sack for us with the huge lawns. Everyone knows that buying more usually means a better price per piece.

    I’m moving to my new home next week, which has a decent lawn. Right now there’s a lot of crabgrass growing in the Bermuda sod, so I have a lot of work ahead of me. However, it will be fun to start over from scratch. Thanks for all of your content, Doc! You have inspired me to take the next step in yard maintenance by feeding (organic) and weeding the lawn on my own.

    You read my mind. I was just thinking about watering schedules and with this drought in GA and high 90s it’s been a killer. Short water cycles work for me. You’re lawn looks amazing. I hope your wrist heals up quick!!

    I do about 2 heavy waterings a week @ about a 1/2 inch put down each time. I've followed Doc's advice about mowing height and have my common Bermuda @ about an 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches. I have not yet put a fungicide down because It gets so hot here everyday that I don't have to worry about fungus with the way things dry out. Also, as a result of cutting about every 2 to 3 days and keeping it short I have encouraged the Bermuda to start overtaking and out-competing the Dallisgrass spots I have. Cultural practices matter!! Great videos! They have helped enormously!!

  • @hwy419
    @hwy419 Před 3 lety +1

    Since it got hot this year (Alabama), I put out fungicide and set my irrigation to a daily 4 minute cycle right before the heat of the day starting at 12:45 and zero irrigation on cloudy/rainy days. It’s literally only enough the keep the blades cool until evening. Weekly dose of Super Juice and monthly application of PGF Complete. The bermuda grass is absolutely rocking.
    The rain pattern is really the only substantial source of water (which has been abundant so far this year) and I’m hoping the grass is relying on that water from the soil.
    I started with a really bad situation this year and now it’s a ⭐️

    Put the PGF complete down on Sunday on my front lawn and did a light watering in. Only did the front because it's 15k square feet and I have an acre overall. Using the front as the test. Just got a good thunderstorm this afternoon. Can't wait to see the fertilizer start to work

  • @alpringle5000
    @alpringle5000 Před 5 lety

    I did put down PGF Complete last week and a few neighbors have complimented my lawn. They thought a professional company was maintaining my lawn. And I just found out that a new neighbor is also using your tips and products Doc! I wish we could comment with a picture but take my word for it. My lawn is looking pretty good. Thanks Doc!
    The only issue that I do have is that I get a ton or those seed heads that get tall pretty quick every time I fertilize. I have to figure out how to keep those down or stop them from getting so tall.

    Doc, I agree about the deep watering. I think most of that type of watering is meant for cool season, not bemuda. I have always, let mother nature take care of the deep watering..also thanks for the tip on setting the 5 gallon bucket out, great idea. Call it the Red neck rain gauge lol

    @erickessler6094 Před 5 lety

    Doc, I hope you're healing quickly! I have been enjoying and learning so much with your videos. I don't have an irrigation system here in King George, VA near the Potomac River and my grass is Zoysia grass which is struggling in our sandy soil so I really appreciate you summer heat videos.
    - It seems like everything you say about your type of grass and mine should apply, is that true? Especially as it relates to: 7-1-2 ratio; Humic Acid & Seaweed Kelp?
    - Having watched several of your videos from last year and also the most recent, am I to understand the evolution is now simplifying things to the point of using only the new "PGF Complete" pellets and then with the "Super Juice" liquid mix fairly regularly like every week or two? I also love the simplicity of just adding my other liquid type stuff (Pre & Post emerge weed, ants, grubs and such) at the same time!
    - I am intrigued by the Andersons Humic DG … Is that something I should add due to my sandy soil?
    By the way, I am trying to get better at sprinkling the lawn in early mornings and late evenings before and after work. Maybe next year we will have the funds for an irrigation system.
    Thanks again for the great videos including the other yard work like the driveway power washing with the Karcher pressure washing attachment which just arrived.

    Doc, love the videos! I wanted to point out it might be worth looking into your cutting height on your TruCut. I have a C25 and I believe the cutting height adjustment is the same and it looks to me like you’re cutting @ 1.25”. If you’re wanting to achieve a shorter cut that might be worth double checking.

I have a Scott’s spreader should I put it at 4 when I put my pgf complete. I have 3000 sq ft in my back yard can I put the whole bag or lay 3.6 lbs per 1000 sq ft. Will I burn the grass if I lay the whole bag? Thanks doc for all your knowledge.
