This basic information is often confusing to customers and this video is spot on. I've given this information to new customers many times. The only thing I'd add to this is the importance of a fall pre-emergent to stop those winter weeds from showing up in the spring. The timing of these applications is also crucial for success. Soil temperatures should be your deciding factor.

Here in Canada in my province pretty much any lawn product is banned. For the last four years I've pulled thousands of dandelions, and that purple crap. Much or what worked is just keeping at it literally every day. De-thatch, scarify (electric Sun Joe) had a major effect. Consistent watering too can be tricky. Fertilizer is an art unto itself when or what type and then there's nitrogen, nitrate, nitrite, and the organisms you need to help you.

Love that you aren’t trying to sell me anything like other lawn KZfaqrs. I have a question on what you do specifically. Do you use 1 whole bag of pro care natural and 1 whole bag of 10-10-10 every time you fertilize? I have about 4,000sq ft of Bermuda and was thinking of doing that once a month for about four months, but was not sure if that would be too much.

@BudgetLawns Жыл бұрын

👊👊 that’s how we do things around here. My old lawn was 4K sqft and I used one bag of each spread evenly across the lawn. I’ve cut the pro care out because of rising prices but may do it one or two times this year. Appreciate ya watching and commenting.

Another great video! I live in north Georgia with about 4000 sq feet Bermuda that has years of no maintenance and is infested with weeds. I began to utilize your recommendations in September 2022 with applying 2 (10lb) bags of Spectracide Weedstop For Lawns W/Crabgrass Preventer granules (watered in with hose). I repeated the process in early January and early March. Bermuda is dormant (obviously)now, but there’s already a great improvement in the amount of weeds from last year! I will be beginning the 10-10-10 synthetic fertilizer and organic fertilizer simultaneously beginning in May with plans to repeat in June, July and then again in September when I again will apply the Spectracide Weedstop granules. If needed, I plan to use the hose end sprayer post emergent Spectracide Weedstop in May. Thanks again for your no nonsense approach! Looking forward to watching your live show! Go Dawgs in 2023!

@BudgetLawns Жыл бұрын

From my understanding most northern folks will time their pre emergent around the soil temp of 50-55 degree mark. Around that same temp many will also apply a fertilizer. So first you need to see if your soil temp is around that at this point. Thanks for watching.

With post emergent, if i spread it over the entirety of my lawn will it kill my lawn?

You’d use a post emergent to take care of existing weeds. Use a weed killer that is safe on your grass but kills weeds. Check the label. I’d take care of that first and mow and water a lot. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
