- Fescue and cool season lawn calendar. www.howtowithd...
There Doc has the fescue lawn calendar that shows you what to apply and when. Cool season lawns like fescue have different needs than warm season lawns. Each month and season is outline for your fescue lawn care schedule.
Thank you. I live in NC and have a fescue lawn. This year, I was determined to get my lawn back in shape and was having trouble finding info on fescue.
Thank you sir. Live in South Carolina with a fescue lawn. Been using you product and man my lawn has taken off. Never seen it so thick and healthy. You want a killer lawn stay away from box store products. Wasted years using garbage with little results.
Mike 21 I planted fescue this past Fall in Lexington. Looks great now. Hope it will endure the summer. Where abouts are you and has your lawn tolerated our heat ok?
That's the most I've heard Doc say the word " fescue " in the two years I've watched
Funny I just searched for fescue lawn care and here this is. Thanks. I just had my lawn guy do a weed application two weeks ago I hope it helps with my grass. This time of the year I use to get so many dandelions
uggg finally thanks for thinking about us Cool Season grass guys up north.
Thanks Doc for doing this video. I live in east-central Illinois and followed your advice/program last year for my 10,000 s.f. lawn and the results were amazing.
This is such great information and clearly a lot of work to do. Thank you so much. I just bought a home (Kentucky) and my father and brothers (the youngest girl - the oldest has four sons and doesn't care lol) are already talking crap about my lawn. GEEZ I just moved in August. They do an excellent job on their lawns (centipede) always have. It is a beautiful green, but with your help, I will wear the crown in the spring with my dark green fescue lawn. They don't have the Lawn Doc. I will tell them about your channel after I bask in my victory a little and bring them along in late July. Haha. Again, thanks for this labor of love. Super helpful and informative!
Omg THANK YOU for the fescue calendar!! I’m in cool season turf in mass and the PGF complete works amazing last year for me!! Def do I;g some preemergent soon on the front lawn, seeding the back this spring as my rehab project. Super juice and Humic hard will be needed for my back yard rehab project.
I’ve been hoping for the fescue tutorial! Thank you.
Nice to see you branching out
Here in North Texas inside the transition zone and I decided to use my quarantine time to seed my lawn with turf type tall fescue. Seeded second week of April and things are off to a good start. Will over seed in the fall and going to be looking to this calendar for insight.
I live in central North Carolina, not mountains, not coast.
Even with your help, I have neither the acumen nor acuity to repair my trashed landscape. On 2/3 acre, I have one 1' X 30' strip left of grass that has not succumbed to being overcome by weeds or death. Easily 60% of the lawn is overrun with wild garlic and onions.
I have done pre-emergent, I have done aeration, I have over seeded, I have put down lime. Unfortunately, I've not any of these things with consistency.
Now it's April so I have to wait another year before I can try again.
Thanks for being there, but I don't believe I have what it takes to fix it.
Only thing I would add is to recommend especially for fescue in transition zones are fungicide through summer months
Thank you. For doing this, please please please do more
Super helpful explanation. My cool season is getting that yellowing coming into summer, thinking about super juice but the reviews are all over the place.
Many in KY considered Bermuda a weed. I got tired of waiting for Humichar so I put down some Humic DG
Absolutely. One product for one job. That multi 2 or 3 in 1 stuff is for the uninformed. Keep it simple.
Thank you so much for this video!! Very helpful and I feel I wasted so many hours of searching online.. boom! you explained what I needed to know! the calendar helps a lot too!!!!
forget the grass im diggin that pool
Why does everyone one say you can’t use PE when seeding? There are options that are extremely effective and allow seeding. Has no one done any research in the last 10 years?
Thanks for sharing this information and your experience
Thanks Doc! 👍
Kentucky blue grass to thank you
Thanks for the video, I've been waiting on you to do a fescue video for a long time. Just received 7 50lb bags of Barricade Dg that I will be putting down this weekend. Next order will be duocide, then pgf complete once the 50lb bags are back in stock, then humi-char.
Thank you so much ..... we really needed this!!! Appreciate it! Love the calendar!
Thanks Doc! I live in CA and follow most all your recommendations and my lawn looks fantastic. Lots of work but I really enjoy working on the lawn. My neighbors are now coming to me to work their lawns to make them look as good as mine. Fescue is the best for around here but I am thinking about adding some Kentucky Bluegrass as a mixture ... to keep the lawn looking deep green and fuller year-round ... what do ya think?
Come on doc I have been one of your biggest advocate, how about zoysia grass ????
I’m on New York and The last year I put .60 PGF COMPLETE every 3 week and a lot of water and I do my neighbor lawn without water system and the lawn was completely brown so if you are on cold season you need a lot of water in summer
Iron is really hard to make the lawn dark blue I use liquid Iron every 2 weeks and I never get the dark blue or green like I want
Thank you doc.
I'm trying to follow the program (it can get expensive, but what doesn't if you want to do it right) here in SW Virginia. I got the pre-emergent out a few weeks ago, sprayed for weeds last week, put PGF Complete & Duocide out yesterday, and am hoping to get the first application of super juice out today. So far, my lawn has recovered nicely this spring from our lack of rainfall last year and a very short fall.
What product do you recommend for the post emergence?
You should get a buddy from different regions with different types of lawns. like someone from a region that has Kentucky Bluegrass, Rye, St. Augustine, Fescue, and other types of lawn grasses. I'm in Arizona and the most common type of grass here is Bermuda. we have clay soil that the PH is normally between 7 and 8.5 do you have any advice for alkaline soil?
What do you recommend for treating weeds in South Carolina, st. A and Centipede.
He's so knowledgeable! But I'm a grass novice and I'm so lost on a lot of the grass lingo 😞. Are there any vids for beginners?
Hi All. I'm new here. Was recommended to watch the doc. I have just moved into my new house. Never have I had a lawn before because I have lived in apartments. I have a small lawn in the front that wraps around my house. The lawn is full of weeds and dead spots. I did some research and found that I have tall fescue grass. I was wondering if I could get some guidance on how to make this lawn look great again. I have pictures if needed. Any information would be great. Thanks
I'm new to care and feeding of lawns in my garden. Watching your videos on CZcams are so helpful. QQ: Is humichar and chicken fee applicable for my lawn in N. California? My lawn is tall fescue type if that helps.
From the north originally and loved the grass back home. Now in the south (north GA) and am excited to have Bermuda grass! Yay! Problem though...I literally have GREEN ONIONS growing all around. Wth?! Why? How do I rid them?
I live in Northern Alabama, my existing lawn is Tall Fescue, obviously not a cool climate. What do I need to know to keep this lawn?
Won't u break your pre emergiant barrier if u aerate in the spring?
How far south will the Kentucky 31 survive in the summer? I put some out last summer but it didn't start growing until winter and looks really good now. I'm assuming that it will die off. I have a sod area of Bermuda that does well but this area is a little too shady for Bermuda. Is there anything I can seed the fescue area with for summer if it's going to die? Im in Lake Oconee area of GA.
Can you use starter fertilizer in the early spring and then when spring comes can you use the pgf complete?
Can you apply seed to a few light areas in early Nov when the soil temperature now averages 47°
How do you feel about tenacity during seeding? We had a tree removed in the fall and we're trying to grow grass there, but the rest of the front lawn is all weeds.
what lb per sq ft are you recommending we put out the organic material at? Should we wait for the HUMICHAR Soil Biochar to be back in stock to put out in conjuction? Thanks!
Hello again :) I wanted to overseed with the tall Fescue. Should I use the PGF complete first and then seed next week?
This also for kbg?
Hey Doc, do you have a link to a good liquid iron additive you mentioned? Thanks!!!
Hi Doc. Love you channel. I printed out your Fescue calendar, but it does not have the months of the year on it. I can figure it out if I know which months you consider late winter in my area. I'm in Arkansas.
There are 12 boxes so I assumed the first box is January, then Feb.... and last box is December.
Hi Doc. Thank you for this guide. I have a dog and I want to be careful on what I put on the lawn. For all the products that you list in this guide, which one should I be careful with my dog? Thank you in advance.
What fertilizer do I use if I am over seeding with fescue in the fall
I can’t find the link to the organic material you reference in this video. Do you still suggest doing this on fescue or just strictly applying Humichar during the summer?
Q: When I view the calendar link, your chart shows not using PFG Complete during Late Spring/Summer, those two boxes are empty. But on the PGF complete product page, it says that it can be used in the summer on cool season grasses, but suggests using a reduce rate between 50-75%. Which suggestion should I roll with?
We don't have a Tractor Supply nearby and they don't ship the chicken feed. Is there a comparable bag on Amazon? Thanks! Just subscribed. Humichar and edging are sitting in my cart now.
Excellent! If I’m putting down liquid iron with a 2 gallon pump sprayer, what’s the rate to cover my 500 sf lawn? 1-2 oz of iron per gallon?
I have a nice grass .. green and thick but when its the rain season or right after winter which is snowi here in Chicago it turns to muddy like after the rain in like 5 days and still when you step you still can feel it !!!
Should i just topsoil it ?
Thank you.
What aerator did you buy?
Question about the chicken feed. Wouldn't that just get eaten up by the birds ?
Edit: And thank you so much for the Tall Fescue Calendar :)
Have yet to have anyone mention bird issues. I have had none.
@@HowTowithDoc I am going to give it a shot. When I saw it I thought wildlife might have a field day in my lawn after application. 😆
@@HowTowithDoc I just saw your "How to Imprive Your Lawn and Garden Soil" Video. I am a new subscriber and just catching up on all of your past videos to better understand what you are referring to in your more recent videos. Humichar will be here next week :)
Thank you so much for all this information. Ordering my stuff now. Do you have and advice to get rid of alot of nut grass that comes back in the summer?
I ordered the HumiChar. What is the "cheap organic" material that you speak of? I have $hitty sandy soil which needs amendment/
When splitting up the pgf for multiple treatments. If you split it up for 2 treatments how long do you wait for the next treatment? Instead of one spring treatment
Awesome video!!!
What do the letters mean A and B? Is it level of importance?
A= acceptable time, B=best time 👍🏼
The sku numbers for the chicken feed on your site no longer match those at tractor supply and I can't find any info on how much of this to spread. Care to update any of this or maybe give more detail up front?
Going to buy some pgf complete on amazon, but I noticed is says not sold in California. Does this mean they will not ship here?
They ship to CA. I live in CA and ordered it through Amazon.
Hey Doc,
When is the best time for dethatching cold weather lawn? I live in Quebec, by the way.
Dethatching is done when it's NEEDED really. Many lawns don't need it. But if you really WANT to Dethatch then usually it's done during the GOOD growing season like mid spring.
What grass can I put down at the end of July in sun/shade mix? Just graded the backyard and need to put down some grass seed.
Should I water after put fertilizer on lawn ? should I cut the grass before I put fertilizer? My lawn is fescue in Atlanta area. Excellent video and I subscribed to your channel.
Hello , a couple of months ago we had sod fescue put down . The company that did it never told us that we had to put down fertilizer. Now I have mushrooms and weeds growing in the yard . I am in New Jersey , what can I use now since I’m behind on fertilizing ?
What is the application rate for the organic material from Tractor Supply? Thanks
What about a “bluemuda” lawn? Any insights on that?
I have clumps of fescue in my bermuda grass. What can I use to kill the clumps without harming the bermuda?
Hey Doc, PGF complete and Barricade large bag links on the website take you to the 18 lb bags? Are the larger bags no longer available? Or just temporary? Love the videos, keep it up!
Sold out... more being shipped. Not really a price difference so I still order 18 when I can't get 40s.
How often do we put down pgf complete?
4:14 spring, skip summer, fall, and late winter it sounds like.
What's "late winter" though? Early spring? After snow has mostly all melted? Not sure how to determine that one! 🤷
Doc, I have a question regarding Fescue grass seed. Fescue grass seed was applied along with hay last year around March 2019. Now I have SEVERAL areas and I mean SEVERAL that are bare. Lots of rock and clay in my neighborhood. Any suggestions I'm sure would help to fix this very SAD issue! Pictures are available. Hope to hear back from you soon. Thanks Felipe
is there an iron supplement that should be added to the super juice? Or do we just use the super juice as is?
The new formula has higher iron.
What does A and B stand for on calendar?
I have a Fescue lawn in Georgia. My yard is 75% weeds and 25% Fescue (due to bad maintenance). Because it's spring now, how can I reduce the amount of weeds or totally eliminate them and start to get my lawn ready for the fall season?
A pre emergent herbicide for stuff that will come in the summer and post emergent herbicide for the stuff that's already there. I use Prodiamine for pre emergent and Speedzone for post emergent weed kill. I have a TTTF and Bluegrass mixture. If you don't like to spray pre-emergency you can use the Sunniland 0-0-7 from Lowes and it's not expensive. You can't plant any grass if you apply any pre-emergent herbicide and you need to be careful about putting this down to close to the fall because it will prevent you from seeding then, too. Read the instructions before applying.
Anyone know if its ok for me to add some PGF complete right now? It’s Early Jan 2021 and I’m located in Southern California with temps in high 60’s to low 70’s. I think we’re at the end of the calendar so i suspect i can but I’m not sure. Thanks in advance.
Can you please provide some info on Centipede grass? We have it mostly in SC where I live. I'm not a fan of it at all
Doc what is the super juice rate
Hey doc can u use pgf complete 16-4-8 in new sod ?
Yes, keep it light and pretty much nothing else the first year.
Ok thank you sir.. I have one more question I have tall fescue in my house how can I keep my tall fescue green year around especially in Summer
PGF complete works almost too well..be prepared to mow mow mow !!!
How do I get a fescue calendar?
Zoysia 🙃
