I use the lawn torch same model as you have for crack weeds and I use it in my flower bed but I try to stay on top when I mow and they are real small and fizzle out quickly when they get big like that I use a full strength of bend the knees and take them out

I tested Hydretain on my ProVista in the back yard since it always seems thirsty being in full sun. 24 hours after I sprayed (and watered) the grass was darker and greener. Seems to alleviate a lot of heat stress. Thanks, Al for the recommendation!

First time I tried using Hydretain I went with the granular, but in the end I’ve preferred the liquid based on cost per application. It’s nice to have options from them though with the granular vs hose end sprayer vs gallon. 👍🏼

I LOVE burning crack weed. However, I like to hit them with a vinegar solution first. So vinegar in the morning on a nice sunny day, and they’ll be dry and crispy by dinner time. Then they REALLY light up nicely and tend to burn more completely.

@jasonmay2985 2 года назад

Been following your channel for the last couple of years and use the yard mastery app and products. Thanks for doing what you do! What string do you use with your ego trimmer? I find the orange string that came with my ego breaks off to easily.

@Thelawncarenut 2 года назад

Soak it in water 💦 overnight. That will make it pliable again. For me, I use Echo string. Always have and just never changed.

@timdunmyer4549 2 года назад

How would you recommend getting rid of sand spurs that may pop up in your yard from the neighbors? Also do you know of anything that would kill weeds in your flower beds without harming the plants?

@soccermom1245 2 года назад

Years ago the front edge of the yard had sandspurs. It took a couple of hours, but, using an old dinner fork, I pried up as many sandspur plants as I could see. The next year I did the same. Keep a sharp eye on them and dig them when up when they are first growing so they can't spread.

All I could find were pellets, but clearing mulch around 22 boxwoods was a nightmare & saw no results. Same for the rest of my large garden. Thank you in advance!🌴

@gerryhenning7337 2 года назад

Allyn, I have Poa Annua and it’s just started coming on here in north central IL in the last couple of weeks. I had a turf company apply PGR last fall and it didn’t seem to slow it down, I’m am putting in the work bagging every time I mow now but is there anything else you could suggest? I’ve been applying Prodiamine every year the last three but it seems to have little to any bearing on it?! Thanks

@Thelawncarenut 2 года назад

Prodiamine goes down in the fall, not PGR. That should help.

@gerryhenning7337 2 года назад

I understand, they tried PGR last fall to see if it would help and it did not and they were going to do it again this spring and when he showed up he called and said he didn’t think what we were looking at “was Poa” but it was! I put Prodiamine down in the spring in a split application but I’ve not done it in the fall. Hate to over do that? I really appreciate you and what you do for us DIYers, thank you!!

@charleskimble 2 года назад

Any chance of you doing a comparison between the Ego multi-attachment string trimmer and the new Toro mufti-attachment string trimmer? I’m also curious about the battery powered Stihl and Echo, but maybe JTLK could do that part.

from my experience, the Toro stuff does not match the quality of Ego on any level. Not sure about Stihl and Echo though, like you said, maybe Jake has that covered.

Followed your reccomendation on walking my yard, weighing my fertizer, and distributed accordingly; Yet I still had weeds come through. What would you recommend to do? Background; live in Midwest (MN), have three dogs, water every other day (early morning and Late evening)

@Thelawncarenut 2 года назад

You need a post emergent for weeds. It's a two-pronged attack - get the lawn thick with good mowing, watering and fert - kill weeds by using pre and post emergent. yardcarebootcamp.com is a great place to get all of this in one place in an easy to follow program.

@alexhollenbeck7226 2 года назад

How well would hydratain work further north where there is a lot lower humidity during warmer weather. I’m on the eastern side of Washington and interested in something like this but not sure if it would work.

@Thelawncarenut 2 года назад

It's also about the water you do get. So if you are able to irrigate one time per week, the hydretain will make more use of that water. Make sense?

@DerekRohaly 2 года назад

Does the hydretain affect the propensity to get fungus/disease since it keeps moisture in the soil?

@DoDgeSwaG 2 года назад

Probably not a factor in the heat drought months because I only have fungus issues in the spring and fall when it’s that perfect outside temp for cool moisture that allows fungus to get a head start. However just as a safety precaution you could always incorporate a preventative maintenance of spraying fungus control at the preventative rate even if there aren’t any signs, it won’t harm the lawn. I do this every spring and early fall now no matter what and no more fungus issues which gives that grass a head start in coming back stronger, thick, and lush next season

It’s usually a commercial versus residential is counterclockwise versus clockwise. Most residential stuff spins clockwise which is completely annoying. I cannot believe the ego made that trimmer do that. I had one of those and as soon as I found out it’s fine clockwise I immediately got rid of it. No other high-end battery power trimmer does that, it is horrible

@chatch15117 2 года назад

You can easily reverse your string trimmer direction. Take the head off and you will see 3 wires that drive the motor. Simply cut 2 of them, swap them (solder and heatshrink), and it will rotate in the opposite direction. This simple tool is powered by a direct drive sensorless brushless motor.

To make it you will contaminate fresh drinking water. Love your videos. My yard dominates my neighbors. See you in the lawn.
