Weeds in lawn. What are they telling you? Indicators for soil health. Weed Series 1 

Finally! Someone is discussing soil biology. Great video.

Massive doses of Humic Concentrate? You saying I can't make that happen at my house? Challenge accepted!!!! ha ha

Nothing wrong with the plant the issue is in the soil. Pete GCI Turf. Everything else is just treating the symptoms not the problem. Got my N-Ext very excited about the possibilities. Thank you for making information available

We are north of Atlanta and we always fight poa annua, bittercress, and henbit in the winter, and spurge, and sedges in the summer.. We treat Bermuda and Zoysia.

Keep those videos coming! Can’t get enough!!

Excellent video. Looking forward to more in this series. 😀

This was a great way to start my Wednesday morning. Looking forward to this series. I love learning about this. 👍You're an excellent teacher.

Thanks john. really appreciate your knowledge and advice. Wish I had more time to include more of your products.

Great stuff John!

Thank you for the great information sir!

Sounds awesome! Can't wait to learn some more! Wish I could make it to lawncology! Maybe next year! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You, John, are the 21st century's version of Cato the Elder!

Violet is showing up much more in MN the last 2-3 years.

Wonderful analysis and transformation story. I’m sure this would make Prof Albrecht proud ;-) Best wishes with the snowflakes and looking forward to your next video.

When are bags of humic sludge becoming available 😁?

Great video Johnny

Lots of POA Annua showing up this year (Aerated and over seeded in the fall, TTTF + 15% Blue Grass - GCI Elite plan - NW Arkansas). Have been digging this by hand and over seeding the spots, but I’m sure I’ll miss some. Yes, wife and neighbors know I’m crazy.

Great series topic, John. I look forward to more info from you on this. I'm in the STL area and I see crabgrass, sedge, and creeping charlie are my main weeds in my yard. I do have some bare spots in my yard where I think I got a little heavy handed with my weed control apps. There's snow on the ground now, but I'm looking forward to spring and getting outside again.

Clover is a problem for me Long Island, NY. Only on one area. Which brings up your point of deficiency in that specific spot. Thanks John!

Thanks to the knowledge I've obtained from you and Matt, I'm definitely focusing on my soil. The most dominant weeds I'm experiencing is POA & Chickweed. I tried Tenacity when over seeding this past fall. Not really happy with the result, and POA is coming back with a vengeance! Going to hit it with some Ethofumesate as soon as the soil dries some. Thanks for the video.

Great Vid John! I have issues with Purslane, Spotted Spurge and Carpetweed up here in Upstate Albany, NY (loamy Sand CEC 8.7), seems to grow more on the edges like crabgrass and its not easy to kill! Can't wait for the rest of the series. Thanks Chad NY

Common Lespedeza is very common in Kansas/Missouri and took over my lawn 2 years ago. I pulled most of it out, hopefully will be rare next year.

King Ranch Bluestem is my most difficult one. Others are khaki weed, oxalis. I actually have a yard (commercial) with thriving Dallis grass that they have chosen to keep.

Wild Violet is the worst for my area. Can’t get rid of it.

Spurge, Wild Violet, Lespedeza, and Chickweed run rampant in Charlotte, NC. I fight it every year! Plus the usual suspects, Johnson, Crab, and Orchardgrass. I'm getting it under control, slowly. But looking for better, more effective ways...especially if they're non-toxic, it would be awesome! I worry about what I spray down for my dogs and my kid's (soon to be kids) sake.

Hooray for snow! Sadly I don't think we are gonna make it out this weekend. Gotta take another week off.

Hey great video. I'm in northern nj an over the summer I've bin fighting Japanese stilt grass. I just started adding organics an calcium to my program last year. It's a new property for me an trying to get things started off right

Huh... that is interesting. I noticed a lot of wild onion in my front yard last year and killed it off with post emergent. Last season I started hitting my yard with the bio stem pack and notice much less this year (and the bermuda is doing much better). Err'd to the lower rates for my 1000sq ft lawn... maybe I should hit it harder this year with the Air 8 and such... I'll be watching. Thanks!

We saw a lot of chamberbitter this past year in Alabama

John, very interesting video and it is exactly what my problem is. I live in East Texas, piney woods region, and built a new house in 2015. Because of grade of land a lot of fill dirt was brought in and it consist of red dirt sandy soil. Our fill dirt comes from deep pits so I am sure it is not anywhere near topsoil. Long story short I planted jamur zoysia sod in the front yard and am trying to plug and spread zoysia to the backyard. it has been a very slow and not very successful endeavor. My soil test revealed low N, P, K, Mg, Ca as well as low ph around 5.8. I have been applying the NExt bio stim pack this spring and summer and it appears to be working. Here comes the weird part, my Su and Na are both very high and I don't know why. I suspect it could be in my water as far as the sodium is concerned. I recently applied dolomitic lime to bring the ph up at a rate of 50 lbs per 1000sf and 13, 13, 13 at rate of 20 lbs per 1000. I am going to retest soil in about 6 months to see how it is doing. My big weed problems are crabgrass, killinga and sedge. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I know a guy that can do a video series on that field at GCFHQ!

Hey John. I’m in South Florida, Miami/Fort Lauderdale area. I have St Augustine lawn and been seeing a lot of kylinga. I used to get a lot of goose grass but seem to have gotten that under control (hopefully). Stay warm in that snow storm!

Clover, Ground Ivy and Green Kylinga.

Wild violet, nutsedge, crabgrass, annual ragweed, dandelion are the ones I saw the most last year

I have a green clover issue. It is not the kind that has the white flower. Trying to eliminate it. Excited about getting humic and Rgs this year order pending.

I think I might do a massive humic dose this weekend. Quart over 1000 sqft and see what happens. I typically apply your products at a much larger rate then the label calls for and never had an issue. SA grass Katy TX and starting to get a bunch of weeds in the thinner part of my lawn around the oak trees. Thinking of spiking the humic with Atrizine.

Outstanding! Where is this alpine location that you’re filming from?

😂 you remind me of eric the car guy. good talk.

I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on Virginia button weed John. Your observations on wild onion really do make sense.

Is it possible to get rid of weeds and build a healthy lawn by just using your products? If so, what would the products and application frequency/timing be? Awesome info and videos as always

Ray Archuleta a former USDA conservationist, states that when weeds show up with bare soil, that is the earth growing a scab to heal a wound on the soil. He trying to teach such things to farmers.

Wild onion spot on for me. What does wild Violet and wood sorrel indicate? Those are my most common two that come back year after year.

I’ve got 4K sqft of fescue that is in mostly shade. I’ve been on your biostim. program for a year. The bane of my lawn is poa annua. It outcompetes the fescue each year. I had a great stand of fescue going last fall with a slit seeder but crazy rain in the southeast thinned out the baby fescue and opened a huge door for the poa. Any advise or a video especially on this wretched poa would be much appreciated!

Up here in Northern Ontario, Canada the most common weeds that we encounter every single year in large amounts are dandelion and plantain. They take over most lawns around here unless the lawn is properly fed and irrigated. I have started using kelp last season to help the soil and have really seen great results. We have pesticide bans in Ontario so our strongest chemical we use for broadleaf weeds is Fiesta which is Iron based. Any suggestions on to give the yard the best chance at keeping dandelion numbers down?

Hello, I always watch your video and I came across one the Mike was doing a live and someone asked about what product to use on Bermuda grass and u recommended biogreen 5-0-1. My question is should I use that or n-ext biostimulant program?

Does getting a healthier kill present weeds or do you need to get a herbicide?

Central Fla: chickweed, kylinga, pulsey

The lawn forum pro said, “you have weeds because you have weed seeds and they germinated.”

Dallisgrass in Bermuda

Do you know what the weight of the carbon in your humic? I was reading about carbon sequestration and it said 1 pound will eliminate 3 lbs in the atmosphere.

Sounds like you need to bottle the humic sludge.. :-)

Second?

My lawn has in no particular order, i.e. most prevalent. Dandelion, Plantain, Purslane, Spurge, Wild Violet, White clover (most prevalent) nitrogen deficiency?, Henbit, Knotweed, Chickweed, Orchard Grass, Crabgrass, Goosegrass, Some nutsedge and foxtail. I'm not positive on common mallow and Black medic. Live along the Elkhorn river bottom in east central Nebraska.

I’d love to see the effects of the products on crab grass and goose grass because they can leave big holes to the lawn if you have pre emergent failure and get to them late with post emergents. Also bindweed, a very hard to kill weed with roots that run many feet below the surface.

Soil Sempei! As a young padawan, I hit white clover in my fescue/kgb midwest lawn with 24D, Dicamba, Misotrione and Triclopyer last year, (not all at once) but there were some areas that did not react at all. Zero degradation. Is clover unkillable?

I need to buy Rgs how can I do it. I am from ft Myers fl

47th.

Did u watch clean my space lol

Last

John, your plant in the background needs fertilizer, BAD...

lespedeza transition zone

Common Bermuda is the worst weed known to man. You was better off with the easy weeds.
