Same here. I've put out a test stripe on my backyard to see what I think before I put it on the entire surface. I've noticed that an extra benefit of the DGL having iron in it is that it has killed the moss in spots in the test stripe. Moss hates iron!
Thanks for clearing up the confusion between Green Shocker and DGL. Learned today from this demo that I’m spreading too heavy. Definitely differs from the bag rate. Appreciate the detail instructions Doc. After 2 years of paying a professional company I did a soil test and had zero nutrients in my yard. I’m slowly learning the program and following your system. Thanks for everything!
Thanks for looking at the soil samples Doc, After we spoke on the 10th I ordered my DGL and applied it on the 12th. My yard looks awesome in just a short time. Thank you for providing such awesome content. I'll be sending those pictures for a follow-up soon. Thanks again
Thank you for the help! Been watching all your videos about pretty much anything. In the process of treating my sod lawn thats been over a year of establishment👍🏼
I was tempted to order it..but I'm sticking with pgf complete. My reason is I use a manual reel mower for my bermuda. If you want to get in shape, or do another thing to your workout routine, buy a unpowered reel mower.
House by the HOA park was cutting grass, 3 guys trying there best, actually had a Honda HRX but was running rough. Yard full of POA, they think it's grass clearly. Wanted to say put some ethanol free gas in that and inform them about the weeds but didn't wanna crush their spirits, they were looking at it like job well done
Ready for your beach house videos. I had Zenith Zoysia sod installed 4 years ago (Coastal SE North Carolina). I also have common bermuda creeping in. Don't like the slow growth of zoysia and it can't handle much nitrogen. I fought the bermuda for a few years with Fusilade, but gave up and decided to accept. I actually like the common bermuda better than the zoysia. A couple years ago I oversewed with common bermuda and recently ordered LaPrima bermuda as well. I'm going for a zoysia/bermuda lawn and will see how it goes.
2 bags on the way. Very excited for this product. I really didnt want to backpack spray. Can I hit it now in Cherokee County GA? This week high 80-low of 50-60. I'm 85% green
I’ve used this for two applications now and both times it has spotted the grass? Any thoughts on if this isn’t made for TiffTuff Bermuda? Each time I’ve done the lower rate.
Doc, I’ve had great success with Scott’s GreenMax. I knows it’s Nitrogen and little bit of iron. How do you think it compares to this product? Pros/Cons?
After I applying, I realized I doubled the amount of DGL. So, I immediately started watering. I put down 1.5" of water within a 5-hour period. Given this little info, any thoughts if I cooked my lawn of just pushed a lot of growth? Rook move I know but here I am! I have a really healthy lawn, I just wanted to have a green POP for a BBQ next weekend.
OK, so DGL 18 lb bag has 25% nitrogen ... so we have 4.5 lbs of nitrogen in one bag ... or if I had a 4,500 sf front yard then one bag gives us 1 lb per 1,000 sf (which I think is a light rate)? My soil samples were like that guy you mentioned ... too much P and K so good nitrogen is all I need ... DGL sounds like the right track for us?
Hey, Doc! I have an acre lawn and trying to get it Bermuda grass to thrive without the weeds using post emergent as the weeds are in full effect. Any guidance or resources on how to do this the most cost effective way?
You will come out cheaper per app using professional products. Celsius and Certainty will help. Don't forget pre-emergent like prodiamine. Now there are other professional products you can use that will make the per app cost even cheaper but upfront cost may scare you away. One bottle of Celsius will cover 2 acres. Certainty which is specialty will cover max 35,000 sqft. I have a 1/2 acre and after the first broadcast app I only spot spray now. Same bottle 2 yrs. Also cut at minimum 2 times a week that way your bermuda can grow and choke the weeds out.
Here in southern California we have a wonderful clay soil that retains phosphorous, potash and other important minerals practically forever so I only have a need for nitrogen for my lawns. Inexpensive Ammonium sulfate (21-0-0) or the even cheaper, Urea (46-0-0) is all I ever use. I get great result with these year round on my Tall Fescue grass. Watering very soon after application is important so as to not have the Nitrogen dissolve into the air. Are these fertilizers ever used in Georgia?
Oh wow. I was thinking it was a few weeks too early to put that (nitrogen) down ( Bermuda) and I live in South Carolina… I only just scalped my lawn last week Saturday
Doc, what are your thoughts and philosophy on PGRs? My lawn is in Fayette County GA, nonirrigated, lots of canopy, and is 90% perennial rye and 10% TTTF.
Doc, would love to get your input on something, Something weird is going on with my back lawn in that both P&K have decreased from my initial soil analysis a year ago, The Ph just will not move much if any at all. Zenith Zoysia lawn Shady area. Would love to have you look at my soil analysis but have no idea of how to get them to you.
Doc, I tried DGL and it burned my lawn or least that’s what it looks like. As I have a bunch of rust color spots and lawn looks yellow. Any suggestions what to put down next? I used my normal spreader and it was a light code. I’m in SC.
Good afternoon. Just received my soil test back the other day and was shocked to find that my Nitrogen was really low. I have purchased a few products online from CZcams and I'm not completely sure, how I feel. Anyhow, I am interested in your product because I don't need phosphorus, I do need potassium (15.05). My Nitrogen is only 1.61. I have a cool season lawn KBG and Tall Fescue. Any suggestions I would greatly appreciate. By the way, I was glad to hear that you have a product that's all Nitrogen. Thank you
There are plenty of products both granular and liquid thats all nitrogen. One thing I dont like about Doc is he only talks about and uses products that he makes a commission on. I mean you have Green County Fertilizer, Mirimichi Green, Flagstaff, GCI Turf, etc.... You missing out on a lot of knowledge and spending way more money than needed for lawn care.
Can you do a video of this and Green Shocker. Like use cases for both, which is better based on what you are trying to accomplish, etc? I have Bermuda, Charlotte, NC region. Grass is already pretty green and debating between Green Shocker and DGL. Although I need this by Thursday due to rain coming so most likely gonna order Green Shocker instead.
Doc I have had it with Andersons I can only buy it from Amazon and my orders are always late, damaged and not worth the money. Andersons needs to use a different distributor other than Amazon.
@@HowTowithDoc I did not know that Doc. I thought Amazon was the only option. Amazon has gotten so bad with order processing and delivery I don't order from them any longer. Thanks Doc.
Doc , I am a recent subscriber to your channel, and I appreciate you and Thank you for the information on lawns. I just recently started to work on my lawn, I have St Agustin grass, I live in Texas,. If I were to overseed it with Bermuda grass seed , what would be the best approach. Thank you , love your videos keep it up
What's up doc! I've been interested in the Andersons Biochar from your videos but I'm also interested in the Jonathan Green Love your Soil. I just over seeded my tall fescue lawn with Jonathan Green Black Beauty about 3 weeks ago. It's coming up good in some spots but unfortunately I think some of it washed away during a heavy rain where we had almost 1" in 24 hours. I want to try some more of JG products and the Andersons too. I am wondering if there's a difference between the Andersons Biochar and JG Love your soil. If they do the same thing or if they're different enough to where both would be beneficial.
Great video as always. What exactly is in DGL. I understand the fast release process and the fine granules. 1/4” is less than 3/8”. Did you mean 3/16”? I’m interested in this product, just need a bit more explanation. Thank you
@@Aph87 you make no sense lmaooo instant release instantly goes into the ground… slow release would have a higher chance of rain washing it away. He literally explains this in the video lol
All that time and money wasted on a lawn when the same time and money would be invested into a food forest that gives back for generations; as soon as you stop maintaining the lawn it takes over and isn’t the same as if you were maintaining meanwhile a food forest matures with time and provides more abundance yearly without extensive cost and maintenance
Edit the clip and get rid of the UPS guy unless you want him to lose his job. They run a tighter ship than the Marines and pride themselves on a squeaky clean image.
"maybe just under a 1/4 of an inch - like 3/8ths of an inch" - did you really just say that? Sorry "Doc" - 3/8ths of an inch is actually bigger than 1/4 of an inch
Just got my first bag to try, there's about 5 of us in the neighborhood that are in competition all the time...

Welcome
We were expecting that they were applying fertilizer for 2 years?
Got two bags in transit. Lawns up here in NH are just starting to come to life. Perfect timing!
Thanks Doc!!!! I tried the slow squeeze on the mower no skid marks!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Got my first bag today! Getting ready to put it down. Thanks for the video!
I’m a ups guy so that was awesome. Love it!
Thanks for video learning allot live in west Texas and it gets hot here your videos helped me with my grass 😊
I was tempted to order it..but I'm sticking with pgf complete. My reason is I use a manual reel mower for my bermuda. If you want to get in shape, or do another thing to your workout routine, buy a unpowered reel mower.
Could you make a 2024/2025 calendar? 🙏🏼
Ordered 2 bags of DGL yesterday. Should arrive Tues just in time for the rain.
Just order my first bag should get it Tuesday can’t wait to try👍🏿👍🏿.

Just put my DGL out minutes ago!! Do your thang!
Where did you find it? It’s already sold out
@chrisglenn2096 Yea, I see it's sold out on Amazon. I purchased it on the 10th, knowing it would probably go fast. I'm sure it will resupply soon.
Put PGF complete out today. Have DGL on order. Will put that down in 4 -6 weeks.
My bag arrived Friday. Will apply next weekend!
😂😂😂😂😂 the UPS guy!!!
2 bags on the way. Very excited for this product. I really didnt want to backpack spray. Can I hit it now in Cherokee County GA? This week high 80-low of 50-60. I'm 85% green
Are you going to do another putting green? I think one would look GREAT out in front of the new camp house / man cave / office / DOC’s PLACES
Cool season..probably put it down late may.. 10.10.10 first then pgf next week
Hello Doc..... When seeding, you don't worry about birds eating the seeds..
Always enjoy the content.
Got 2 bags delivered today...going to throw it down right now 👍🏿
I would love to see video on how to get Bermuda going from seed on a large plot of land with little to no water pressure for irrigation.
Can you use this DGL on Fescue?
Im helping my friend re seed his lawn. This stuff worked for my Bermuda grass. Made it nice and dark green.
I’ve used this for two applications now and both times it has spotted the grass? Any thoughts on if this isn’t made for TiffTuff Bermuda? Each time I’ve done the lower rate.

Hey Doc!
Have you considered making a par 3 golf hole on the farm?
Par 3? Great, we'll come play it .... we can be sure Doc will cut the greens low with his new LOW CUT Maclane.
What type of grass under the trees at 11:50
Doc I have had it with Andersons I can only buy it from Amazon and my orders are always late, damaged and not worth the money. Andersons needs to use a different distributor other than Amazon.
You can buy direct from their website. Home and Garden
@@HowTowithDoc I did not know that Doc. I thought Amazon was the only option. Amazon has gotten so bad with order processing and delivery I don't order from them any longer. Thanks Doc.
How many weeks apart from the seeding,before applying DGL?
Same day if you want. Just keep it light
Thanks for the video Doc.
I get great growth but not a lot of spread. Any suggestions? Newer Bermuda and I’ve had a soil test done. Really low iron.
once applied to lawn how often should you water in?
Love your videos. Can one mow before applying DGL?
Where Is DOc
I ordered 2 bags of DGL expect them to arrive in next few days. We have Bermuda, can we apply DGL in fall months (Oct/Nov)?
It can be applied anytime the grass is ACTIVE and growing. Probably not good once the temps cool
We are in TX and just had overload of rain! I still have some DGL left. Can I still apply or will it be too warm this next week? 90ish

Where can I find DGL
can I use this on St. Augustine grass?
Do you put DGL down some time after PGF complete? Havnt put PGF complete down yet. Wasn’t sure if that’s too much. Texas. Thanks.
Your a heck of a salesman, all you have to do is look at that lawn....
Doc, when’s Dirt Booster gonna be back in stock? What’s going on with the shortage?
Just takes time to run this time of year.
Semper Fidelis
Doc, can DGL be used on plants like palm trees or flowers?
Yes
How would I send you soil for a soil report?
Doc,thanks for the video
Why not just make it instant release
Because you don’t want 1 rain to wash it away
@@Aph87 you make no sense lmaooo instant release instantly goes into the ground… slow release would have a higher chance of rain washing it away. He literally explains this in the video lol
Doc, just under a 1/4 of an inch is 3/16 of an inch, not 3/8.
Yes, my mistake. I went back and added a subtitle.
All that time and money wasted on a lawn when the same time and money would be invested into a food forest that gives back for generations; as soon as you stop maintaining the lawn it takes over and isn’t the same as if you were maintaining meanwhile a food forest matures with time and provides more abundance yearly without extensive cost and maintenance

DGL is not
I’m starting to worry about Doc…
Edit the clip and get rid of the UPS guy unless you want him to lose his job. They run a tighter ship than the Marines and pride themselves on a squeaky clean image.
Out of stock on Amazon
Saw that as well. I just bought a bag from Andersons website.
"maybe just under a 1/4 of an inch - like 3/8ths of an inch" - did you really just say that? Sorry "Doc" - 3/8ths of an inch is actually bigger than 1/4 of an inch
Yes, my mistake. I went back and added a subtitle.
Is Doc ok?
I'm thinking the same thing, been 6 days since a video He did mention going to the beach house, maybe taking a break.

Doc... 3/8" is bigger than a 1/4"...lol
