"The first rule of Root Club is: You do not talk about Root Club!" :)

Like the Bob Ross of lawn care. Not even close to where St Aug can grow but I can watch all day……so calming to a LCN 😌

With my “aggressive runners” that float over top of all the others I cut them off and transplant them to areas where I am combating an evasive weed, bare spots, or rough soil conditions. They seem to take root better, knock out the weeds faster and build patches that are thicker and denser than where they cane from in the first place. It has worked really well for me so far. They seem to already be used to the soil conditions so they make it a home easily, they are already in the “rapid recovery mode” so they send out more shoots and roots. I plant them in straight line rows a couple inches apart. With survey flags mapping the area so I don’t mow that section for a couple weeks for better rooting. Then I will mow that section only every two days or three depending on weather. It has worked wonderfully for me.

You are way more advanced than we are we call them runners. I collected over one hundred of them and gave them to my neighbor. He chucked them in the yard dumped a bag of potting soil over them had his boy to water them every evening. Everyone of them things took . Three years later after doing this dozens of times his entire yard is as good as mine.

YES the rain in Houston, Texas was NO JOKE my St Augustine grass got dollar spot/grey leaf spot from being so wet, but I treated it and it has grown out now. I pick up my clippings because I planted my rye grass so thick its still dying off at the moment! I LOVE MY GRASS! I just cut my grass using my new reel mower on my channel man its a WORK OUT but I love the clean cut it gives! This is my first house and first lawn! Great info!

This season is the first season that I’ve seen my st Augustine lawn throw up Seed Heads. And I’ve noticed after a year of learning this tips, changed my fertilizer to organic and trying the Next Soil activation pack. In fact I’ve noticed that parts of my back yard was mostly weeds sand and crabgrass, so much that my surviving St Augustine was starting retake some ground and thriving after using the Soil Activation pack. Even though my backyard has a long way to go my entire lawn hasn’t looked as good as it did years ago. Thank you Allen and the lawn care community for all tips. I couldn’t have success like this without them.

WOW! Again you are right on time talking about topics I'm going through with my St. Aug here in Miami...loopers, ruff cuts and those spots.........THANKS LCN!!!

My Dad's house in San Jose had St. Augustine lawn. When I moved to Sacramento he gave me a bag of stolens that I planted at that house and they grew up beautifully(I hope the new owners appreciate it) in the front yard.... the larger back yard was much more of a challenge, but it was growing! Now I'm in a new house and need to get my hands on some stolens to see if I can get it to grow here in a MUCH smaller area. Lots of area, just a smaller lawn section.

Thank you!! I'm in Corpus Christi, TX. We have had alot of rain. It's always terribly humid here also, being we are on the southern coast, we fight fungus all year long. I'm so happy my son in law turned me on to your channel!

Woke up from a nap and bam 💥 Quality Content 🤘🏼❤️

I'm in North Texas, Dallas, and with all the rain we've been getting my St Aug is growing at a rapid rate. Really filling in!

Allen- Proud to say I am a part of the Domination Nation thanks your videos!!!! What Texas freeze!! May your Stolons be with you my friends and Mow ON!! Rehab is real!!!!

“Shooting blanks” 🤣 best grass channel ever

Allyn, you are reading my mind. You have answered all my questions in this video! Thank you sir!

That Fungicide stack though 🔥 welcome to the 3336 club brother.

Great Video. I sent this to my boss and one of my co workers. Great info on here Alan. Thanks.

Your lawn reminds me of warm season Kentucky 31 every time haha. Great video and knowledge as always. I do appreciate you! I got my FREEEEEDOM today as well! Excellent sticker design. Can't wait to see it do work! God bless!

You are 100 percent correct. My father was a master at mowing the lawn. He had the best lawn in the neighborhood. When i bought my house it was covered in weeds. His advice was throw some squate if san Agustin sod and mow then water...mow mow mow mow like you never mowed before. My lawn cleard up and san Agustin spread through out the yard. He also bagged like crazy.

You are my favorite KZfaq lawn care guy... Very good info as usual and good products!

You've helped me tremendously, Lawn Care College is what this is!

I just moved to Manatee County Florida from Pennsylvania, and your videos have been VERY helpful for taking care of my St Aug. lawn. This turf is nothing like the grass up in the frozen north.

Definitely one of my favorite LCN video!!!!

That’s an amazing lawn, makes me jealous because here in Los Angeles County and the rest of the state we’re in a severe drought so I can barely keep my St Augustine alive. Plus having a green lawn is a tell tale sign to the neighborhood that you are not being a good citizen. 😞

Great video! I am in Houston, Texas and we are about neck and neck with the St. Augustine

This video came at exactly the right time. Just yesterday I was noticing seed heads all over the place during my Wednesday mow. I thought it might be frayed tips or some kind of fungus, but no it definitely was seed heads. Our seed heads are pretty ugly, lol. After weeks of rain here in SE Texas, it has been dry for a couple of days so I'm assuming the lawn was rain drunk. Thanks for sharing the new fungicide option. We need as many options as possible with our thick, green blades so susceptible to fungus. Also, I would love to see a video on the difference between fertilizing and watering shaded St. Aug vs full sun St. Aug like yours. I have read Texas A&M's recommendations to fertilize at half the rate of a full sun St. Aug lawn. Watering also is cut in half. This is so important for us in Texas as our front yards are typically shaded with two oak trees and we might be throwing down wrong.

Still loving the Florida vids from way up in Chicago !

Great tips this week. Thanks! I needed this. I've been pondering over a few spots in the lawn that look a lot like leaf spot. Not sure if I want to hop on a different product yet just because it's a new lawn to me and I want to work with the tried and true first. But this will help me later if my problems keep showing up. Not a bad diy price either for us smaller lawns

Thanks for the tip about traveling to Florida during the rainy season.

Awesome video, I live in Broward county in Florida and noticed those seed looking leaves on my St Aug but didn’t know what they were and if it was normal or not and how it affects the lawn. Thank you for the explanation!

GREAT video, Allyn!

Love the video and very insightful , I'm in Texas.

Good advice, I'm in Central FL and we've had .3 inches of rain since April in my location with 95 degree temps daily...the St Aug is trying to check out daily, especially on mostly sunny days. Most challenging year I've ever had in the lawn.

That's just some super gorgeous grass!!!

Nice work Al. Going to look into the group 1 fungicides.

Ugh ... Fert ban and reclaimed water restrictions up here in Pinellas County. NO RAIN! Just have to water when it's lawful! Lawns are looking good though because we've followed your advice and stayed ahead of it. Thanks Bud!

The only 2 grasses i dearly love is ? St. Augustine and Centipede Grass, and i mix them 👍 There both Freeze, dough, disease, resistant and don't need fertilizer either. IT don't get over 10" tall > I mow only once a month, while every one else is mowing 2 times a week. Trying to look as nice as my yard. I'am saving on gas, wear at tear, saving on water, wearing my self out. They both do good in shade or full sun either one ! There is a slight different! Centipede grows shorter and a little lighter green, while St. Augustine is a darker green, and grows a little bit taller. > BEST GRASSES EVER 👍

I have St Aug in DFW. Nursed it after the snowpocalypse and now getting comments from my neighbors and friends that my grass is looking great 👊 Did the bulletproof strategy and surviving all the rain we've been getting. I cut once wet and really ripped up the blades, so recovering from that. Thanks for all the tips... Keep em coming!

I just used the 3336 liquid for my last treatment and it works great. Prior to that I use Eagle 20EW, which also worked great.

LCN, great vid and funny AF. Great job

Unexpected video! Made my day.

Great info you just answered all my questions

I love the sound of mowing over seed heads…. Pop pop pop

the lawn gods have not brought much rain. NEED MORE

Allyn!!!! LMFAO. 🤣🤣🤣I have the same mower. Only 25 on the market that's electric and gets it done everytime for me 😁. The 2 circles on the side is what you have to press in to adjust whatever length you need on the bar height ... only nut like you would do it that way!!!. Stay safe brother. . Btw thanks for the new sticker with my hydertain order 👍

Imperial County, CA is predominantly St. Aug.. the rest of us cool kids have bermuda.

I don't have St. Aug but this video made me laugh several times.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 such a cool video thank you so much man!!! It was hilarious and helpful

The King has returned

I have quite a few stolons in my backyard St. Augustine grass here in southeast Louisiana. I to have never used pre-emergent. The indeed are close to the sidewalk along the back of my house. I found one in the front yard next to the driveway.

Is this why you didn't come to the office today???

You should do a live with Q&A from time to time. Also could visit listener lawns to help with recommendations. By the way I am in Orlando. 😁😉

Doing a review on the makita trimmer? Have one and love the thing! 5ah battery is a huge improvement even over the 4ah. Keep up the great content.

I have definitely noticed the seed heads with all the rain in North Texas. I have enjoyed all the free water going in to late Spring though! This is definitely not a year in our area to skip the bulletproof fungicide app strategy.

Hello There, would you happen to have a video on saint Augustine Sod Grass - how to water for June, July & August. Thank you 🙏🏼

“Look at those fattys” -Allyn Great vid brother. Happy dominating.

Different grass types are always fascinating to me with respect to where in the country they thrive. I'm in the transition zone and tall fescue is highly desirable here. I recently saw a video on how to get rid of tall fescue and I thought "why would anyone want to get rid of fescue?" I'm looking at the videos that highlight St Augustine grass and can't help but notice that it resembles a grassy weed to me. I realize that certain grass types are more favorable to certain areas with specific climates and soil conditions but It's almost hard to believe that anyone would actually want a lawn full of Saint Augustine grass.

We're going to the club!! 😆

Omg....they will actually shop to CA for the cleareys stuff

Here in Se Michigan the other day well... we got a taste of Florida weather i'll tell ya it was hot humid and at around 4pm the sky just let loose and it poured and hailed and windy the whole nine yards. After 20-30min of relentless pouring rain, we had gotten 2in of rain and everything was flooded. Most rain I've ever seen in such a short amount of time, was some much needed rain though

North Dallas here and got patches of grey leaf spot starting to spread. Propiconazole, 3336 and disease ex thrown down today, and hoping for the best! Also have Thiomyl and Captan as other back-up fungicides, but haven’t used them yet. Thiomyl may just be the the 2nd cheapest treatment after Propiconazole which runs me $1.25 per 1k when bought by the gallon ($80).

Lol at clubbing. Great video as always.

I actually wanted to ask you about this as I’ve been seeing the looping stolons as you called them here lately and I was thinking of them as “dolphins” since they were popping out of the grass like they were, and since we live in an area where you will see dolphins in the water. LoL good to get more info on them, thank you Sir.

I live on St. Petersburg. The drought within the last 2 years has been hell. Water restrictions on top of that. Can't do everything your video recommends. 😪

Reminds me of one of those videos where they spend two hours cleaning a $50 rug.

One more question. When is the best time to apply liquid iron to my St. Augustine grass?

No Rain here in houston...yard is getting crispy

Great video and definitely cleared up my worries about seed heads. Mine seem to have lasted for much longer than 12 days. Even with consistent watering, fert, bio stems and cutting 2 times a week. On a serious note, can we put seed heads in our salads? Gotta get them nutrients

All right!

@thelawncarenut could you do a video on Teejet nozzles? Like a compete training video on each tip and what they can be used for and why?

We don't get any rain in Los Angeles county lol. I got one of those smart timers that use weather info to know when to turn on the sprinklers.

Greetings! Thank you,

My Pro Vista is doing this! Freaked me out at first. Going to seed that is.

Wow that st augustine seed looks so much like Nigrospora stolen rot. I was just freaking out because I thought I had Nigrospora stolen rot. I will observe the lawn carefully over the next week or two.

Last Year I had a terrible year on my fresh new sod in my backyard. It was terrible. Had great new sod laid in march. Had to water a lot. That cause a fungus in late June. So I tried to fix it with fungicide. After that started fixing it I had infestation of army worms. Never heard of those. Man they were everywhere. Grass is finally trying to look back to normal but still not there yet.

Pete's GCI guide specifically recommends clearys 3336F for grey leaf spot

Do you have a video on how to level a “St Augustine grass lawns”

Central Valley California were in full sun 🌞🌞🌞🌞 90's and 100's

I'm in the pacific northwest (PNW) area, a little south from Seattle, and in my area, I get a lot of rain along with relatively cool summer. This is nice for having a great lawn but it comes with the price of having all kinds of fungus. I've been applying both azoxystrobin and propiconazole, and I want to ask if I can throw in this Clearys 3336F into the cocktail of cure for fungus?

43,560!!! One of the only things I retained from real estate licensing courses lol

I have used Scott’s EX, and the Bio on my lawn. I think you need to change up fungicides same as I would change sanitizer in a food production facility. Just my thoughts.

How about a centipede video next? Very common in Florida too.

Shout out from new port Richey Florida. I just put down floratam 2 weeks ago. Gets watered twice a day for 20-25min a day with my well water. I've seen a few of those seeds popping up! I've put down malorganite the day of SOD install and 2 weeks in hit Scots feed. CAN I USE FUNGICIDE THIS EARLY? Or should I wait 60 days?

Out of curiosity I planted one of those St Aug seed stems a while back and it definitely germinated. So it may not be as sterile as widely advertised.

Was looking forward to the mow☹️

Have St. Augustine in South Texas.

I used to live in Ft. Myers!

Yeaaaaaa mid week Tips.

My St Augustine is thin under and green on top. Houston hot days.

Scotts Disease Ex at the preventative rate is $4 per thousand for reference. Good info.

Allyn. More videos please lol.

Thank you for the video.....It's very helpful. I have St. Augustine in my yard in Birmingham, Al. I've had a terrible time with grey leaf spot and brown spot. I've been working with the local county agent and plant pathologist over the last year or so and they have helped with treatment but I'm still having a prevention problem. It's June 5th and we've had a rainy season and the heat is really starting to crank up so I think I'm primed now to start experiencing the height of the problems. Their main recommendation is centered around the Scott's products like Disease X. I don't know if that's because they feel that is the most commercially available or easier or what? I don't want to saturate my soil with so many chemicals. I would like to add some natural nitrogen through maybe top dressing with a good compost but I don't know what to do naturally about the fungus? What are your thoughts?

I have a question: this year my St. Augustine grass isnt growing as well at the end of my lawn close to my curb. My yard slopes at that end. Ive never had any issues before but its very splotchey now. I had to put in about 8 new sod squares this year due to i believe ants killing my grass under that tree. We've had lots of rain lately here in North Texas like you said. Rest of my lawn looks great, just concerned about that one part

Nice video! That Toro sign you had on your bench is awesome... Where did you get it?

You can have loopers even when you don't use preemergent. Of course, you can have clubbed roots if you use too much preemergent. I have bunches of loopers. I just mow as normal. Survival of the fittest.

I swear that was a lizard running in during looping stolons 1:45 mark. 🤣🤣

Our st augustine is about 3" above our sidewalk, how did you keep yours at sidewalk level?

Greetings. Do you change your mulching strategy when you find dollar/grey spot in the lawn?

If I am reading correctly, one good thing to clarify for folks is the label says to apply 4-6 oz per 1000 for most diseases, HOWEVER, in the box above, it says Max Application Rate at one time for Residential is 2 oz per 1000

South Florida here. We’re still dry on the East Coast...

Allyn, I just left Siesta Key today. Man it must’ve been a really dry spring? Saw a lot St Aug in bad shape.
