The old Jerry Baker tonics. Believe it or not I used some of his recipies 20 years ago and they did work to a degree. Fungus, POA and Nutsedge are a lawn care nut worst nightmares lol

I just need it to work at least a little. I’m doing everything right with the typical chemicals and still getting fungus. At this point I expect fungus but if I can control it with a more natural solution I’m all for it.

Me too! I saw some mixtures that also included baking soda but was reading that baking soda can also damage the grass. The ammonia will actually provide a bit of color pop, according to the golf course site I grabbed the recipe from.

I’m over using fungicides. They kill all the healthy fungi and microbes and leave your lawn more susceptible to fungus anyway. I’m gonna start focusing on adding mychorrizae and healthy microbes to my soil. Those two things alone should really help from everything I’ve read it just takes time to really bring your soil to life. Like you no matter what I do I always have some type of leaf spot or brown spot or blight going on.

Hello I bought a house and moved in in March. However since i moved i have some issue to deal with even when the house is in great conditions including the yard. I notice those white mushrooms and brown spots and some of the plants too . I cant wait to treat my yard with this and see how that works. Why spending a lot of $$$$ when you can do this yourself . I mean I will do it cause i havent have a break since I moved there -I started feeling like i shouldn't buy a house :(

@@GirLzLawn Yup there’s always next season. I was talking to a former golf course superintendent about disease mutation.

@@jwilliamsloggedin Makes perfect sense to me because when I backed off of applications every 21 days, things got better. But I also reduced watering and just let my lawn dry as much as possible, so that combination is what I will stick with next year.

Love your channel! It seems like we both deal with the same lawn issues: fungus and poa triv! I can definitely relate. I too am frustrated with the fungus this year and don't want to keep spending $$$ on fungicides every 2-3 weeks. Definitely interested to see how the natural remedies work! Another one worth looking into is neem oil. It is a natural fungicide. I applied it along with propiconazole and it definitely helped, but haven't tried it by itself yet. Also, have you ever tried spraying T-Zone and Tenacity on poa triv patches? A few other KZfaqrs had success with it.
@GirLzLawn Жыл бұрын
Thank you. No, I’ve seen some of the other stuff that people have tried for Triv but no real proof it works. I’m thinking of doing the one thing that I really wanted to avoid, RESET next Spring. I don’t have faith that it will eradicate the Triv but it will give me a couple years free of it. 🤷🏽♀️
