I don't know how many times I've explained to people why it's not necessarily a good idea to wait to throw down winterizer until after the first hard frost. It's what they've been taught and they don't want to hear anything else. It's a shame really but thanks for spreading better practices.

I liked, "Not a fan of "hoping for the best" when I'm not even doing [the right thing]". Good advice for living life.

Beautiful to go up against some legends in the game

Im really enjoying your channel. One of the few (if only) ones that dont start all advice with just throwing tons of product ($$$$) on a lawn.

well said! apply products at the correct timing to yield the best result with the least amount of environmental impact! I actually stopped applying fertilizer about 3 weeks before my first frost because the grass just doesn't show any signs that it needs any more fertilizer and it would just push unnecessary growth and mowing.

When you jumped in at the beginning I was like, "Oh, oh!" Then you broke it down. I'm on my way out now to check the moisture in my soil. Peace!

Another great video Turf have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. How is Baby Turf doing?

Spot on Turf thanks for the info. Haines over the top sometimes

Great advice. I don’t have a lawn right now myself, but I can advise family members who do. 💚💚💚 Take care. 🤟🏽 AuntieEllen

Excellent Content Rob 💪🏾💯

I don't normally comment on videos..but ...Good work...cheers....very informative...learnt a few tips..that's coming from an old time seasoned gardener...👍💯😎

Thanks Turf this is just what I needed to know for my last cut.

Thank you Shots fired 😂

Straight 🔥 and 💎. I completely endorse this message. WE WORKIN 💪🏾🌱!!!

Lots of research out there on this topic. Fall Fertilization Timing Effects on Nitrate Leaching and Turfgrass Color and Growth: "Applying fall fertilizer improved turf color and increased shoot density, chlorophyll concentration, reflectance index, and clipping yield in our cool-season turf lawn. However, no differences in color, clipping yield, chlorophyll concentration, shoot density, or root mass were found among the 15 October, 15 November, or 15 December treatments. In contrast to this, however, the data from this study suggest a potential negative impact to water quality by applying fertilizer late in the fall. Both NO32N concentrations and mass losses in percolate water increased with later application dates. These findings suggest that the current recommendation of applying N in mid- to late November in southern New England may not be compatible with water quality goals. Water quality concerns would dictate an early or low-rate fall application if soluble N fertilizer is used, or no fall N application. Because NO32N concentrations and mass losses were elevated in the fall and winter in this study, consideration of temperature, moisture, and existing available soil N is of particular concern when making fall fertilizer recommendations. More research addressing the interactions of the effects of timing, source, and rate is necessary before optimal application recommendations for fall fertilizer can be made with confidence. Concerns about the timing of fall-applied fertilizer are especially relevant in northern climates where cold weather and high precipitation in the fall and winter limit potential plant uptake and increase the likelihood of considerable N leaching losses." Rethinking Fall Fertilization - University of Nebraska - Lincoln: "Nitrogen in the soil solution is transported to the roots via plant transpiration through a process called mass flow. The higher the transpiration rate, the more nitrogen gets to the roots. Low evapotranspiration during late fall limits mass flow and reduces access to nitrogen. As a result, nitrogen from late fall fertilization either sits in the soil until the grass resumes growth in the spring or it is lost through processes such as leaching (especially in sand-based soils during high precipitation winters). This work has since been replicated and confirmed by researchers at the University of Minnesota and Penn State University."

I really like you videos, very educational Thanks for the tips

Good one bud! Thanks!!

Just soaking in the knowledge!👍🤔

You never disappoint! Excellent content!! I definitely learned from this 💪🏾. As always, thank you!

Great info Turf! I enjoy watching your videos so much. I just aerated and overseeded 22 days ago. I have good germination for the most part but there are a few small areas that still have baby grass sprouting out. My existing turf needs mowing, but I'm wondering if I should hold off a little longer so I don't rip up any of the seedlings. We got two inches of rain last night so I think that's why I'm seeing all the new seedlings coming up. I anxiously await your advice on the mowing.

Solid video bro! 💪🏽 I thought I was going to see another cameo by lil turf, maybe next time 😃#weworkin #teampolo

Really a different game with cool season grass. Different rules for our warm season grass. No real dormancy in central FL but growth does slow down so we can still fertilize with high K though don’t think it’s absolutely necessary.

Solid resource here Rob, nice to see more youtubers use the word "nitrification'. I cutoff urea once soil temps drop below 50, ammonium sulphate is much better for colder temps and natural sources of N can be put down super late for breakdown over winter by all those fungal decomposes that nobody ever talks about. Lots more could be added to all of your points but then again I talk too much all the time. Good job presenting this for edu sake!

The info you didn’t know you needed. Good job Turf!

Turf, as always such valuable content. Most appreciate all of your tips

Great advice from beginning to end.

I hope you good people reading this understand what is being said in this video. "NO BASHING", Turf is just providing GOOD Data Driven INFORMATION for you to use in your lawn. The King of the Bluegrass has spoken. Polo, We Workin 💪🏾 💪🏾 💪🏾

I dormant seed and I dormant fertilize...it's worked amazing for me

I like your style Rob. Good honest credible info goes a long way. Much respect to you. 👍👊🏼

Thanks for the info brother

Good info. Thanks for sharing

I have been rolling my eyes at him for quite some time now. Thank you!

One thing i learned that most people dont know is how big a single grass plant actually is. I have a 4x4 planter on my desk with one rye plant in it, Its filled the whole area plus some. I estimate the 5 month old plant has 75 blades. That young sapling this year will be a lot bigger next summer.

Great advice! Sub'd. Keep the videos coming.

Thank you

Nice, I don’t suppose you could also mention Celsius as well when you quote temperatures? Nice channel,I Just subscribed.

Great video!

If you want fertilizer for spring, apply it in the spring. Letting it "winter" is how you fertilize your storm sewer.

Facts...keep it up. Too much lawn bro science on KZfaq...

When do you mow after seeding?

Great video Turf. I do two applications each fall. Once in September and Once in October. Great point as well on the dormant seeding. I have considered it but I haven't really seen anybody with great results from it and also seed is expensive right now to throw away.

Ive done the fall seeding a few times and had an amazing result for the holiday season... but this fall it ain’t workin

Great video brother. Always learning from you! You disappeared at gie and I didn't get to give you a hug goodbye😪

Man I am elated that we crossed paths. I know what Allan was saying didn’t make any sense. Sounded good but completely wrong. Thanks again!!!

I have no idea about winterizing haha

Great video and now happy subscriber.

You have intrinsic credibility. Thank you for another great video.

I over seeded but most of it is good, but I still waiting for some seedings to pop up. I'm in the transition zone of NC, I seeded with GCI Cool Blue which is 85% ttff and 15% kbg, my question is should I throw down my fall fertizer now even though I'm waiting for more grass to pop up?

Good info. Man! So do I dig up the dead weeds or just leave them there over the winter?

Great tips here Robert.👍🌱 And thank you Sir for your service 🇺🇲

Where have I seen that spray technique before 👀

🧢. Great content.

Excellent video.

Solid info

I too am not a fan of dormant seeding. Biggest waste of seed I can think of

That is why here on Long Island we can't apply any N down after 11/1 and until 4/1 the following season. 👍💚🦸

Great video!!
