@@112Leondeoro at the time I think it was around 60 dollars for a half day rental. It’s been a couple of years so probably more now

@@johnnelwhite what?

@@ijazmohammed588 😂 Thank you for the compliment!

@@jerryclleung 😂 Not my intention to do that but it does look that way. 😂 Thank You for your comment and for watching!

@@aroundthehousewithpat31 😉 but if I was your neighbor, I’d be inspired to have a lawn like yours…

@@SuperTA329 Thank You! The heat has been brutal on the KBG

@@mlj6419 Thanks for subscribing! Mow It, Feed It and Water It. It’s that simple.

@@McMuffinat0r Thank You!

@@robturner7853 Thank You! This heat and dry spell we are having here is making it challenging for my KBG.

@@aroundthehousewithpat31 I agree I have mine green again, ive only watered 4 times this season, with lil to no natural rain "Jesus Juice" lol as you know. However thurs, fri & sat those liars @ the weather channel are calling for alot of rain!!🤣💦

@@PrincessCutLawnCare Hi George! Thank You for the compliment! I have been watering every day because of the lack of rain and also because of the extreme temperatures over the last few weeks. My lawn is 100% KBG. the root system with KBG is shallow. KBG is also very thatchy. When the temperatures are extreme deep and infrequent just doesn’t work. Watering is definitely a controversial subject with lawns. If I water deep and infrequent when temps are pushing 100 degrees like it has for the last few weeks I have many areas that start showing that it needs water. The grass gets this gray look to it when it needs water. Kind of like being a tell tale sign that it’s about to go dormant. The problem then becomes looking out for disease. Just a little thatch in the lawn will promote disease when watering every day. It’s a very fine line trying to keep KBG a nice green lush color during the extreme heat of the summer. If I start to see any disease I back off water for a day or two on the area showing a little disease and it recovers pretty quickly. I’ll think about how I could put it in a video and do one. I’m sure I’ll get killed with a lot of comments on how I’m doing it wrong. 😂 But really you have to learn what works and what doesn’t for your own situation. For me watering everyday in the heat works.

If I don't water everyday in this heat my cool season grass will die. It's already struggling as it is. Infrequent watering will destroy the lawn during these temps. Infrequent watering does work for me in the early spring.

@@380stroker deep and infrequent doesn’t work for me either with my KBG. I’m watering everyday in this heat too.

@@stacenrob1977 I use Scotts Greenmax all season long after my spring application of Scotts With crab grass preventer.

@@aroundthehousewithpat31 thanks for responding, I’m in Ocean City Md

@@JB-jl1cp it’s all Kentucky Bluegrass. I have never seeded with perennial ryegrass. KBG is a thatchy grass type and has a shallow root system. Those two issues alone make it a difficult grass to care for in extreme hot temps. So far I have been able to keep it looking nice. I deal with that problem every summer except this year the extreme heat and lack of rain came early this year. I normally dethatch in early spring and late summer. I was surprised at how much thatch I removed. It was a lot. I’m glad I did it. The lawn looks good. I’ll have a follow up video coming this weekend on how the lawn is looking a week after doing that dethatching. Thanks for your comment!

@@troutman1951 I’m in Philadelphia and it’s Kentucky Bluegrass

The heat has been extreme. My lawn is KBG. I definitely over water but I have found that over the years of maintaining it I am better off to over water. I do get some disease from doing that but it really isn’t anything that the lawn doesn’t recover from. If it wasn’t for the extreme temperatures I probably wouldn’t have bothered to dethatch it. I usually only do that in early spring and early fall. Trying to keep a KBG lawn green in high temperatures is frustrating. I chase the dog urine with the hose as well but I’m not the only person letting her out in the yard. It repairs itself with time and if I get too many I’ll dig some grass up from an area that’s not as noticeable and patch the dog spots.

Thank You! Those stripes are frustrating. With my lawn they usually go away after putting down the second round of fertilizer in the spring plus I spoon feed and fertilize every two weeks so I think that helps. Also it’s an established lawn . With my son’s lawn they seem to be not going away and I have been spoon feeding jut like I do with my lawn. I think it’s because it’s a new lawn that I havnt been able to get them to go away. Thanks for your comment.

😂 I have heard that from others. 😂 Thank You for your nice comment.

ThankYou!

It’s about to get real hot here. We are going into a heat wave next week with temps in the mid 90’s to 100 and it supposed to be very dry. It’s about to get ugly for lawncare here. Lol. I once accidentally dropped a pile of fertilizer on the lawn. I was out there with a shop vac cleaning it up to avoid a dead spot. I’m sure a looked ridiculous doing it but it worked. Thanks for your comment!

Yes they do. That’s where I normally find them when I’m digging in the garden during summer. My cue that they are around. Thanks for the comment.

I have to put some down on my project lawn still. I’m probably going to get that done this weekend. Thanks for watching and commenting!

If Scott's Grub Ex was available in Canada I would use it, I just use Sevin on my own property, it's cheaper than a nematode application. Sevin is a commercial grade herbicide that kills over 50 insects.

It was clear. A little algae in spots but I could see all the way to the bottom. It’s actually the first year it has looked that good. It is usually black when I first pull the cover off and takes a week to clear up. I had it cleaned in a day this year. I had a brand new cover put on it before I closed it and I think that was why it was so clear. The sun wasn’t able to penetrate the cover and get to the water. I was happy.

@@aroundthehousewithpat31 Awesome stuff. My motor went on my pump and it took about a week to clear up this year.

@@WooderBoyProductions that stinks. Had to replace my motor two years ago. It’s a chlorine pool. I had to restock all my chemical supplies this year. Walked out of the pool store 500.00 lighter in my pocket. It’s crazy how much they have gone up it price over the past few years. That and 4 grand for the new safety cover in October the thing is killing me. And it hardly gets used now since my kids are grown and out on their own. Pools aren’t cheap.

Great question. The spreader I use is a Scott’s rotary Edge Gaurd spreader. So there is a little Gaurd door on the side of the spreader that blocks the fertilizer from being thrown on the one side. I just walk the spreader down the property line with the Gaurd engaged and the fertilizer does not go on my neighbors grass

Yes It’s Just Grass! Thanks for subscribing

Thank You! It is! But I’m not even trying to do that. Thanks for watching!

Thanks For Your Comment! You are pretty much doing exactly what I do. I’m not even trying to dominate the neighbors. I could cut what I do in half and still have a greener lawn. His lawn is nice it just lacks food. If he would feed it just a few times it would look green. I have put humic acid down in the past but it’s been about 2 seasons since doing that. Like you I used the powdered form and used an ortho hose end sprayer. I do have some but just haven’t thrown it down. Your comment will have me doing so now since you mentioned it. I really didn’t see a difference in my lawn when I was using it but you are right that it helps the lawn with nutrient uptake. I DO NOT DO SOIL TESTING. 😂 I don’t think as a homeowner you need to. I Mow I Feed and I Water. that is it. It has worked for me for almost 40 years and I am staying with what works not to mention it’s easy. ThankYou for watching!

@@aroundthehousewithpat31 I was late with the Humic/Seaweed this year. Usually I get a green up from GreenMax within 3 days of putting it down. This didn’t happen this year. I put the Humic/seaweed down a week later and got a green up in two days.

@@Todd.T oh wow. Maybe I’ll spray some humic acid since I have it. It can’t hurt it. It’s a good day here for me. Finally getting some rain here today after going a week without any. I did a round of green max a few days ago expecting rain but it never rained as was predicted.

I have put iron down from time to time but I found that using the green max I really don’t need to and the green max does contain some iron. Thanks For Watching!

They are! And the very next night Maggie was sitting on the front porch with me and about a half hour before the sun went down a skunk waddled right across the front lawn in front of us. I had to grab her by her collar so fast. She has such a high prey drive. I’ll have to do a video of her when I take her to the park she runs in. She is fun to watch even if she doesn’t catch anything. Thanks for watching!

You get it. 🙌🏽 Great video! Loved watching.

Yes! I’m always happy to see mushrooms. They were gone as quickly as they appeared after the sunshine returned but they are definitely a good sign for sure. I will check out that book. Thanks for the information and thanks for watching

Thank You! Good luck with your new lawn. Water is definitely your friend when it comes to new seed.

I do not. I have a sprinkler system so the lawn is well hydrated.

Would you if you didn't?

@@followrobthomas Oh Wow. Your putting me on the spot here. 😂 I would still fertilize but I would dial back the setting on my spreader to maybe 3 and I would only fertilize when there is rain in the forecast and I would only do one application each month. Having irrigation I fertilize on a rolling 3 week timing. If I felt I wasn’t getting enough water I would be out there moving a hose end sprinkler around. I have never had my lawn go dormant in the summer having a cool season lawn. I always did what I had to do with watering to prevent it from going dormant. It definitely is challenging in July and August with no irrigation system and a cool season lawn.

Project Pat with that 3-6 clowning on some young bucks.

Not even a drop? Is there a shut off valve on the supply line.

@@aroundthehousewithpat31 that's what I was thinking, but nothing has been turned off, and it was working last fall without issue.

@@scottttym I guess you will have to remove the valve stem. Seems something is blocking the water flow.
