Man, I’ve been watching you for at least 3 years now and I finally pulled the trigger to start taking care of my lawn (weed control, ferts, soil enhancers, and insects). The Lawn App is ridiculously intuitive and user friendly. You pretty much thought of everything. Thx u.

Admit it Allyn, you've avoided and neglected the backyard because of the gator back there.... 🤣 Great video man. 👍🏼

I do two separate soil tests, Al . My backyard is hilly so I get erosion in the back. So,even though the whole yard is treated the same . I have gotten different readings from the yard. So not much of a question for you but just putting it out there for people who may have the same issue . Love the vids.

Alan, received the test kit yesterday, well made. Can't wait to get the results. Thanks for the video

I love the yard mastery test kits for my soil they are easy to do and so helpful!!!

Always a joy to see your videos. I wish I had a house in Florida with that climate

Great video. I love your landscape videos with all the palms and tropical plants also.

Wow! I just sent in my soil test last week! Bought 2 tests and used one for the front lawn and the other for the back. I didn't know any better 😫. Cannot wait to get my results!

Did a soil test last spring and was interesting to see what my soil was deficient in. Planning on doing another here in a few weeks and can’t wait to see how it has improved or dare I say, regressed.

I do separate tests, mainly due to having fescue up front and bermuda in the back. They need different nutrients. Excellent video!

Great info AL!

Love your content. I have a new sod lawn cool season they was installed last fall. Coming out of dormancy I have a pH of 7.39. I’m going to hit it with Yard Mastery Starter next weekend when my temps come up. Real excited to use this product for the AMS content and the 12/12/12 ratio. Nailed it man!

Love my hands in the soil. Definitely no gloves! Ordered my kit. Moving to St Johns in 3 wks. Excitement grows every day. It's a new development. Everything including the soil looks very sad. Can't wait to give it some love.

Thanks for the lesson.

a postage stamp series!!!! I have followed you for a few years and lost the drive to do lawn care while moving and settling into a new house, but I just got the drive again to take care of 2 postage stamps lawns in front of my house. I'm excited to see this series continue. and yes I'm going to comment on a 3 month old video. lol

Great instruction. Thanks

Yes another video of LCN 🤟🏻

Great info. Cheers!

Great little video Allyn!👍

Hi there Allyn, I have been watching your videos now for about 18 months, I current have someone else cutting my 1/2 acre lawn, but after watching your videos I am now preparing to to plug, re-sow and fertilise the lawn. I am looking at purchasing a hustler raptor xd 42 inch, I am thinking of using tall fescue grass seed for my sloping section, it is about 15 degrees. Please keep up the informative awesome videos. And I will have to adapt your time line to the Southern Hemisphere. Cheers Andy

Thank you for the info!

All i can say is your the Best when it comes to helping home owners with there grass issues. I have followed most everthing you have put out in video's and it has helped me bring back a better looking lawn than was here before. I even have motorists that will stop and gander at my lawn and thats a wonderful feeling. So i Thank you so much on your ability to put forth such video`s and allow us to share in your knowledge.

I've only tested my soil once, about 5 years ago, and I went crazy and had all four sides of my house tested separately. My results actually showed a big difference between the front and back. My phosphorous levels were vastly different so I did in fact treat the front and back differently. Basically I use only phos-free ferts on one side, which means no Milo, and the other side I do use some Milo. So testing different areas can in fact be valuable if you want to take it that far.

When I had a lawn to take care of, I would sample twice a year. Spring and fall for prep for summer and winter

Love your videos. I’m not afraid anymore! 😉

Just ordered mine. Looking fwd to the results.

I thought I would never see the provista again. Excited to see it green up

I'm seriously considering planting my back lot with clover. It never gets used and is prone to weeds and full of hills. I may soil test the front and side yards tho. Looking forward to the next vid!

Like given!!!!!........I do not know why Big AL but I love these type of videos. Were you ever a cub scout or boy scout and you got together with your pack den once a week and do a project or make a bird house.....going through how to do a soil test with THE LCN is just like that. Always a good time! I felt like I could have enjoyed a brew and a Stog with you either on the back veranda deck(hahaha) by the pool(by the way the rain hitting the palms back there...soothing scene) in the rain or even da garage over by dare after!!!!!

Hello from The Villages FL of postage stamp yards!

On the preview it had captions saying laughter when Allyn was mowing at the start. I was concerned the gas fumes may have finally gotten to him. Turns out it was just the intro music. Thanks for the videos as always.

Can we get a link for the soil probe 😎

Here I am exactly 2 years later…. 03/15/2024. Crazy. lol but I’m ready to get my lawn under control. Ordered soil test kit today.

I just pulled the trigger 😅

I was lobbying for you on Matt's channel, "offmyranch" ... Definitely need some nice green on that mega house

My postage stamp is 150 sq feet by the rock wall 👍

Got my test back today ph finally hit good in 24 months but now my calcium and magnesium are high should I wait them out?

Allyn, I have a question over by dere in Texas. I'm starting to see some weeds appear in the lawn. Should I wait to spray with celcius or should I spray now? I'm afraid if I did spray now that some weeds could pop up later as things really start to heat up here.

I just sent away for my soil test kit. Will that customize the fertilizer applications/composition based on the results? Really looking forward to getting more into the "hobby".

You crack me up brah 😂

Hi Allyn, I was just curious if the soil sitting in the solution for too long will effect the results? It is going on a week and a half now USPS finally got it delivered to your lab. Thanks!

Uncle Al neglecting his yard??? Say it ain’t so!!! Lol. 😎👊🌴

Another option is using a yardknife. It lets you take a smaller chunk out of your lawn then the shovel and gets you down to that 4-6in depth to take a sample.

Hey allyn Is part 2 out yet? Thanks

No lawn is too small to join the Domi-Nation. Time to thow 'er down!

Hey good morning Al, I am a beginner at this and I’m getting frustrated with my lawn. I have done the 3 and 1 treatment to get my grass green. Which I believe it’s worked to some degree. My issues are that the grass doesn’t grow how I see other lawns grow. I see weeds growing, and not so much the grass growing. I have St. Augustine grass and I’m just not sure what I’m doing incorrectly. Please advise and thank you for your content, it’s extremely helpful.

Will taking sample from a place where there’s no grass or a dead spot matter? I’d rather not tear up what good grass I have.

want tips on the royal! I planted 4 2 years ago and 2 of them are struggling!

Moved into new house last summer, started a program using these kits... Question.... What does it say about my lawn if the probe twisted and bent from force needed to get it into the soil? Lol Don't think it's ever been aerated or anything... I have alot of work still to do

Hey Al, I recently had a soil test done to my St. Aug and it showed I have excessive calcium. Everything else is sufficient. What should I be pushing between now and the start of the June 1st summer fert ban?

Is early spring the best time?

Hello Allyn. How are you. I got your soil test kit last season and did my soil test. I’m in the New York Long Island area. My question to you is how long is the soil test good for? Can I continue applying what I’m deficient in based on last year’s results? Or do you recommend doing another test?

Allyn just bought a bag of your double dark fert with 6% iron. My soil test said my iron was super low. My pH was 7.2. I’ve read that iron oxide is not available for plant use in soil pHs above 6? Is this correct?? Will the double dark even work for me? Is the iron chelated in the double dark fertilizer?

I have a crazy question. Would a soil test result in the summer be different than it would be in the winter?

Question? Here is just a snip-it from my recent soul test on a property I bought last year. How does one even get numbers this low 😂 what should I do?? pH 6.75 Total Nitrogen (N) 1.6 Phosphorus (P) 0.69 Potassium (K) 1.5

Hey there..I live in San Antonio and already drop the promiadine. What should be my next step? Was thinking the stress blend, then flagship. but looks like your are going with the starter. Thoughts?

I applied Milorganite 2 weeks ago and also some Black Kow compost to my front lawn. Do I need to only test the backyard since for the front the test may not be valid?

I put down fert and RGS. How long do I have to wait before collecting samples for my soil test

Im going to core aerate soon with a Classen.....can I use those cores if they are deep enough to get my sample?

If I have one spot where the grass is slow growing yellow should I just do that area?

If I recently put down a flagship application and the purple white bag of pre-emergent should I wait a little while before conducting soil test ?

Question about the mysoil tests compared to the mehlich-3 tests. MySoil says what's available to the plant so let's say MySoil says I have 10ppm available of phosphorous but the mehlich-3 says 30ppm. Essentially the MySoil test would be telling me to put more phosphorous down even though I would be overloading the soil with phosphorous. Is that correct or am I wrong in my thinking of these tests? Thanks!

Hello Alan I live in Michigan in a suburb of Detroit, currently weather is really up and down drastically with temperature changes daily, with snow and rain now in the spring. I just received the YardMastery granular pro diamine 45lb. And I am trying to find the right time to put it down next week Monday Tuesday are dry sunny days but cold 39 degrees Wednesday calls for 3/4 of an inch of snow Thursday it’s going to go up to 60 with rain another 3/4 of an inch can I put down the pro diamine granular even if it’s going to snow after app. I’m just really trying to have mother nature water it in within 48 hours of application as it’s too early for my inground Sprinks. My soil temp is hovering at 44 but last week was all the way up to 48° All of my neighbors have had their little fertilizer signs stuck in their lawn as of last week don’t want to be late with my pre-emergent. I also just ordered the flagship 2406 to put down with the pro diamine per your direction with separate applications not mixing the two in the hopper. Weather is absolutely crazy in Michigan can I put this down now even if snow in the forecast the next day and then rain and 60 the following day. Really like everything that you’re doing to help us DIYers appreciate it can’t wait till it grows so we can get in some mows. Thanks, Bryon (Ozzy) Osborne

So much good content. I have gotten in the habit of sharing these with the others folks in my life who look at the lawn as a chore. Hopefully I can convert a couple into full fledged Nuts! Thanks for all ya do.

I just moved to my house on October 22, and I don't know what kind of grass I have. It looks to be mixed with warm and cool weather as well as a lot of weeds. How can I get to know what I have, or should I start over? I like Zoysia for my lawn. One last question, if so, to restart, should I go with sod or seeds?

Was that a rainman ray click?

How does a LCN ignore any part of their lawn ( back yard)? Sounds more like a LCC Lawn Care Convenient

Would the soil testing be different front vs back if you have a dog urinating in the back vs the front. Or do you just treat all the same?

I tried taking soil samples and i am struggling because its straight clay barely any soil. Any tips?

When we gonna see the collab with Vlog Creations?!?! Hahaha

I really need to test my soil and you can’t make it any easier. Will the procrastinator in me let me order your kit?

How long do i have to wait to do my test if i just fertilizer my lawn

What plant is in your backyard on your fence with red flowers ? I can't understand what you said during the video.

Allen, when should I do my spring cool season soil test for Dyer, Indiana? I just received the test yesterday 2/16/24

So I purchased a MySoil test kit last year for a first time soil test ever. Ended up being really deficient in Nitrogen which was surprising. But it still recommended Y+M Double Dark which I purchased and my yard looked great afterwards. I thought it was supposed to give me local big box store options though?

I live in Houston TX and and we tend to have about 2" of soil sitting on top of clay, so I wanted to ask if I should include or exclude the clay from the test sample?

Man - when are those new ball caps gonna be in the YM store??? I’ve been waiting to order my spring fert & bio stims until the caps are available! 😂😂

That is a great shirt!!! The more you know.

Do yard mastery soil kits expire? I bought a couple about 10 months ago.

Do you have contractor options available? I have many customers that I can use this with.

Allyn, What type of shrub or bush is behind you in your intro. It is beautiful.

Can you throw down Prodiamine and Triad down at the same time?

Wait so we are supposed to use all the soil!? I thought it was just the soil from the target depth only!? So for example I core down and take out only the soil that was between 3.5" and 4.5" in depth.

I did my soil test n gave it to my wife to mail needles to say 5 days went buy n she forgot it in her car.....is it still worth sending ? It says mail within first day of adding dirt on the box 🤯

I have five acres where standard Bermuda dominates certain areas and fescue dominates other areas. Testing these different areas separately should be interesting.

Actually I am doing different programs for different sections just for the heck of it this year.

According to the LCN units of measurement, my front yard is half of a postage stamp! 😆

Hi Allen ,new sub here. I was just wondering why your fert is 10 dollars more on Amazon than on your own website. Bits says "sold and shipped by yard mastery". I sent an email and said that they wouldn't price match, but, I find that strange cause it's the same exact company.

won't ship to Canada. bummer

HELP!!!! How do I get rid of COUCH weed!!!!!!

My front yard looks terrible compared to the back yard. Centipede lawn on top of rock hard red clay. Somehow front yard pH is about 6.7 compared to 5.5 in the back yard...

Wish i could come over skyway bridge take exit 2 and pick your brain about lawn care. More of a lab /hands on person. Only 30 min away in St petersburg

I have two postage stamps. 🤣

Allyn just got my results back from this soil test. My calcium and magnesium were sky high. Everything else was basically non existent. I fertilize my lawn regularly. Used many of your fertilizers last year. I was baffled with my results considering my lawn looks pretty good! Any advice? Thanks

Nut to soil contact

Plot twist: Allyn's backyard tests positive for fungus and disease and he just threw that soil right into the middle of his front lawn.

So sad to see that shovel violate such a beautiful lawn 😢

Ha I see you representin' Ross Creations! Always give up

It is a dirty job but someone has to do it
