Products → www.howtowithd... Doc walks you through a lot of problems that come with the summer heat on lawns. Often people say add potassium but that can create other issues if you're not careful.
Appreciate the insight. I feel like I'm living in a rainforest lately. Someone will be lucky to own the new mower! I just started running a gifted 25 yr old reel mower, still figuring out the kinks.
Doc, please be sure to let us know if the neighboring Cannabalistic herd shows up for the cookout. LMAO! Did you ever think that in retirement, you would be working this hard? Don't worry, it helps to keep you young!😁😉 Thanks for every second of every video you've done and are doing.
I’m so glad I found your channel you are so funny and informative and interesting always looking for to your next video they complete my day😊central fl .
Awesome video. 35 gal brute trash cans for feeders and water, will have to drill/cut holes for fittings and pvc 90s but worth it. I keep them elevated on pavers or concrete blocks work also. As far as the snakes go. I have my coop/run in 1/4 hardware cloth. Outer perimeter is dug down 1’ and out 2’ for digging type predators. Snakes we’ve had cohabited with the chickens surprisingly, snakes were only interested in the eggs. They come in very small and grow very vast if you don’t catch/notice them. Only had it happen once because we let them out and door left open. I pulled 2 5’ snakes out when noticed egg count was lower than normal. After snake carcasses rotted away was a trail of eggs
My body is literally almost worn out working out in this heat day after day after day. Been trying my best to beat the cramps before they happen. These last few days the cramps won. So, glad to see that weather change on my way home from work today. Rain has come, feels like temperature has dropped 20 degrees.
The older I get the more I have to drink Gatorade to replenish my electrolytes. The heat just sucks the water out of my body and the Gatorade just helps tremendously. Please try drinking some Gatorade and then you shouldn't have leg cramps.
pre germinate seeds can get grass blades in a day or 2, wait for roots to shoot, plant, try it Doc!!!!! I have almost a full lawn of Monaco seeding during this drought
Doc, whatever happened to the Zoysia that you used to have in your yard? Looks like a storm is starting to roll in and like you agree that this has been one of the worst June & July in years in this area.
Doc, do you recommend the DGL now on Fescue? Temps and rain have been better in my area but trying to get the lawn to recover after heat stress and drought in June.
I think this is part of the reason why people like living up north, just came back to Alabama from the Catskills ny, and the ground up there was sopping wet
Just bought a house and zoysia yard has clumps of dallisgrass... is spot treating with round up and dealing with the yellow zoysia my only recourse? I'm in Memphis
I killed most of the sedges back in June with Ortho nutsedge killer, before it got too hot, but after it got hot, Dove weed took over the whole lawn, then with all the rain I can't mow without clogging up the mower. 11.36 inches of rain since July 1st, that's 5 inches above average, and there's still 10 days left in this month.
The grass clippings do decompose over time but it takes about 3 weeks for that first layer to decompose. So meanwhile you’ve mowed 6 or 7 times and you’re just piling up more and more layers of grass that haven’t had time to decompose. So you end up with a lot of matting. I used to be a big believer in mulching, in fact my first mower was a mulching mower, didn’t even have a bag attachment. After a few years I switched to bagging and it made a huge difference in my matting problem.
Hey Doc, I have a mostly bermuda sod lawn in the front, but as the trees have grown around the house, I'm getting a lot of thinning and bald areas. I have supplemented with some zoysia in those areas. My big question is could I overseed the entire front with perennial rye? That would keep roots in the ground and green year round. Thoughts?
Doc, can dirt booster change the tint in grass, Seems to have given deeper blueish green dark color in Monaco, im stunned but also using 2 bags PGF a month, there is a differece tho, where dirt booster is and isnt. Only color, no better growth like you sd, looks like iron was sprayed lol
Hi Doc, are you no longer using hydretain? I learned about this product from you a few years ago and I swear by it here in south Texas. In fact I just put it down 4 days ago.
What are you selling now? It used to be PGF complete, or PGF balance. Now I see that the Anderson's are selling a straight nitrogen just like in all the big box stores.
