I live in Michigan, when should I aerate? I'd read some articles where people say to aerate ONLY in the fall, and then others that say to do it both in the spring and summer. What are your thoughts? Below is a statement from an article I was reading. While some companies will recommend aeration in both spring and fall, for most lawns in the neighborhoods we service, we generally recommend a single round of aeration done in the fall. While there are some benefits to spring aeration, there are also some drawbacks. In spring, weeds are just beginning to proliferate. By aerating in the spring, you are creating space for your lawn’s root system to expand, but you are also clearing spots where unwanted weeds can slip in as well

OK buddy, thanks A LOT. I went nut like you. Went to the depot, rent me a professional aerator, bought several bags of milo and Scott's seeds. I threw her down like there's no tomorrow. So far I have gotten 17k steps. Completed the job in 3 hours. Returned the aerator back to the depot. Really heavy putting back on the bed of the truck. My wife almost threw her back. But luckily I had a 4x4 that helped as a bridge. Word of advice for everyone, buy two 2x6 x 8 feet and use as bridge to your truck. This thing is a beast. But LCN, said all that, I have saved money doing myself. Thanks for the video.

Problem with that is every seed that gets hit by plugger gets broken. Once broken, it wont germinate so id think 2x b4 doing that again. I seed very last so that my plugger, fertilizer, and lime passes dont crush seed.

Thank you! This video is a great help. I'm finishing the first summer in my new home (new construction) and my lawn is not where I wanted it to be. My plan is as follows: 1) Aerate (the fill in this development is VERY sandy - many of us moving into the development aren't happy) 2) Put down 25LB (I have 13k sqft of lawn) of SS5000 Sunny Mixture 3) I have a half bag of Sulfate of Potash, put that down (should I get another and do 1.5 bags?) 4) Put down Milorganite 5) Water like its my job 6) Enjoy my lawn next year? Any concerns or tips? For some background, I did the following this year: 1) Late April - 2 bags of Pre-M 0-0-8 and GrubEx (1 big bag, 1 small bag) 2) Early May - 1.5 bags of Sulfate of Potash, 2 bags of Milorganite 3) June - 1.5 bags of Sulfate of Potash

In this video you two aerated the lawn extensively with corks pulled out all over. My question is what if I also plan to level out the lawn with fine sand and top soil mix this year, what should the timing like between aeration/over seeding and leveling? Should I aerate and seed first this Fall then try to level a month later after the lawn has grown? Or do one of the two this year and the other in Spring? Thank you.

Hi. My lawn has a 20ft by 20ft spot that is very dry as it is full sun and highest spot on the lawn. I am able to easily get down to about 2-3in and then it’s hard and possibly clay. Grass dies by end of summer unless i water everyday. My plan ... put down Liquid Aerating Soil Loosener- Aerator Soil Conditioner to make soil softer, core aerate, overseed and top dress with soil 1 week after, then right after core aeration add milorganite mixed with The Andersons Organic Humic DG. Thoughts?

@jacobscutzlas8712 5 жыл бұрын

I have a very similar situation to this. I bought a new construction home in the spring and its my first home so I'm not really knowledgeable on lawn care but I am willing and eager to learn. My lot is ~6000 sqft and a lot of it looks like the front area of this house. I'm in PA Philly area so temps are already down and I think I'm probably too late to do much this Fall. This video series was already so helpful and motivating but it has also raised more questions for me. Should I aerate the soil and use a traditional spreader like you guys did or should I use a slit seeder to overseed or should I use both? Is it too late in the game to do anything this year? Should I wait until next Fall to do this or should I start in the Spring? I feel there are so many questions and I just need a little help to get started.

Fall Aeration vs De-Thatching/Scarifying? I bought the Sunjoe De-Thatcher/Scarifier this season and used it instead of core aeriation. The Sunjoe really picked up a lot of debris and was rather impressed with the end results. Obviously the Sunjoe does NOT do the same physical/mechanical job of a core aerator. My question is this..can one use a De-Thatcher/Scarifier instead of a core aerator? What are the Pros/Cons of this?
