      Yea videos in November lol. We did get our first frost but temps didn't stay cold right now we're hanging around high 50s low 60s so the soil hasn't froze over yet so we're still good to get our fertilizer down. Thanks for tuning in.

    I switched to Milo last year for my mid Summer feeding. Scott's Summerguard was burning the lawn. But, I have been using Scott's Winterguard (no weed killer) for the last 3 years with great results. I usually have the greenest lawn well into November and early December. just like you I put my last bag down around Thanksgiving weekend when I get the leaves up and I also run a fresh cut on the grass a little lower than normal just to give me a crisp look thru the Winter. I use their Starter Fertilizer when I overseed in the Spring. It works great... I get a nice greenup but the bleaching drives me crazy. As for weeds... Knock on wood... I haven't had any Dandelions or Crabgrass for a few years now... some nutsedge and wild violets and a few clovers here and there because of the neighbor's lawn. I spot treat those but I think I'm going to give the Spectracide you talked about a shot next year. Peace to you Bro... Thanks for everything!!!

    • @LawnAmateur
      @LawnAmateur  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Milo is a great summer fertilizer option also. I use to put that down in the summer also. I use the spectracide for my pre emergent and post emergent treatments and that does a good job of keeping weeds away. Thank you for watching

    I picked up the Sta Green 16-0-10 a few months ago this will be for next season I have some Scotts products I'm finishing up this season. After watching some of your videos over the spring/summer I started doing some research on the Sta Green brand. I made the decision to switch over fully to the whole line. So when August came around I did a lawn renovation and picked up the Sta Green grass seed, the sun and shade mix. This stuff is the truth, when looking for grass seed people please take the time to read the labels in full don't skim. The Sta Green sun and shade mix is crazy it contains Gray hawk perennial ryegrass, Tirem Kentucky bluegrass, Enchantment chewings fescue, Silver sun perennial ryegrass, and Reverent creeping red fescue. This grass seed is also 0.00% weed seed. I put this down alongside the blue bag of Scotts starter fert no peat moss and magic. Since my third mow Ive been adding nitrogen getting ready for next spring which I will be. Sta Green products are the truth, this is a brand I can def stand by.

    • @LawnAmateur
      @LawnAmateur  Před 10 měsíci

      I'm loving their product line as you can see I purchased alot of it 🤣. I'm going forward with the sta green line. I never looked at the grass seed but I will take a look. I use to use scotts fertilizer all the time but switched after seeing what the sta green fertilizers had to offer. Thank you for watching I hope your lawn turn out well.

      @@LawnAmateur Ill be going forward with Sta Green products myself. Im preparing to start buying all my needs for next season now once so much of this stuff goes on sale and I can find it Ill bulk up on it. Once the 2024 season rolls around they will have new things rolling out, Ill purchase those as well. Thanks for reviewing a product I can get from my local big box store. Big box stores get a bad rep, just gotta find the good stuff through all the bad stuff. I can finally say Im done with ordering overpriced busted bag stuff from online along with saving so much money.

      Don't worry spring is right around the corner thats the perfect time to start fixing the lawn. Any repairs needed can be done in spring. I'll be repairing a few spots in my lawn also and going over how to do it and what I'll be using. Don't get overwhelmed or feel defeated all you need is a little TLC and your lawn will be nice in no time. Thank you for tuning into my channel

    You mentioned that since your fertilizing in late OCTOBER you won’t fertilize again in December. So assuming you did one in October and also one in thanksgiving? If the climate was right

    • @LawnAmateur
      @LawnAmateur  Před 3 měsíci

      I only did the October application because it got too cold in my area too fast for another application of fertilizer. But typically, in November, I would try to get one last feeding in. But my lawn didn't need it this year when I looked so it wasn't necessary.

    I overseeded a few bare spots and put down starter fertilizer back in September. On October 23, I put down some lime (one bag) and the Sta Green 2n1 bag, I believe it was 16-0-3. Do I still need to winterize my lawn the day after Thanksgiving? I noticed one of my bare spots is a late bloomer, so there’s baby grass growing, while the other areas are mature.

    • @LawnAmateur
      @LawnAmateur  Před 10 měsíci

      You don't have to put down another fertilizer application if you don't want to but you can do a light feeding if you want if the ground isn't frozen. But its not necessary because you dropped a fertilizer application late October

      @LawnAmateur  Před 10 měsíci

      13-13-13 is fine to use for overseeding. There are other fertilizers that are out there that have other amendments in the fertilizers that do different things for your soil structure but a 13-13-13 is completely fine.

    when you say the fertilizer will not do any good if you apply it then get a freeze will the fertilizer kick in after winter and the ground warms back up?

    • @LawnAmateur
      @LawnAmateur  Před 10 měsíci

      No if you apply fertilizer to a frozen lawn the grass plant won't absorb the nutrients and it'll just sit on the surface and by time the lawn warm by up in spring the fertilizer won't be effective anymore
