Not a bad little trick with the strap. Results came up real nice. I see you’re a Ryobi fan. Do you use Ryobi battery mower at all
@@colinwarby1597 when it comes to mowers, I really like the ego, select-cut mower and ego products in general. And in a couple years time from now, probably going to jump the bandwagon on robotic, smart mowers as the technology prevails and prices even out. The only reason I bought Ryobi edger at the time was Covid and all the Ego products were on backorder and not available. Having said that the Ryobi tools are great, extremely budget, friendly, and quite an expansive ecosystem using the same batteries for quite a few different tools, indoor and outdoor.
@@ArtieMcYardiecheers Ty for reply. Ego do seem like the go to mowers in reviews I’ve seen
That's a pretty good idea using the strap as a guide! Looks clean. Lawn Soil is the shiz! 😂
The armadillos are out of control down here. Please let us know how that image works. I heard it takes a couple weeks, but does the job.
I’ll keep posted but I might have to do a second app for sure considering it’s thunder-storming like crazy right now. 🤣.
New to the lawn game so can I get the Ryobi edger and switch out to the idech power rotary scissor with no issues. If so, which one do you recommend to get?
Yes absolutely. That’s what I did and the rotary scissors is made by Stens you can buy on Amazon. It comes with several gears sizes to slide the drive shaft that comply with your edger shape and size and several different metal sleeves that slide sandwiched between the neck of the rotary scissors and the outside shaft for a snug fit.

What spreader is that?
@@haroldm9066 it’s called the yard star by the Anderson’s you can get it on Amazon or directly from their website. It’s about $380. It’s a 50 pound spreader commercial rated. I personally think it’s way overpriced. You can buy virtually the same spreader that is made by Earthway, which is actually the same company that made the Anderson’s one. It’s called the Earth Way 2600A 40 lbs spreader which is about $200. I placed a few links below. All great quality spreaders. You’ll never need another one whichever way you end up going.

@@edwardsalgado4805 i’ll tell you what if you know what’s good for you you’ll go to yardmastery.com. now that it’s in the heat of the summer I would get his granular fertilizer blend called stress blend 7- 0-20 high potassium. It’s an orange and white bag. Also all his fertilizer products have a percentage of iron mixed in there, and bio-nutrient which will give a little green pop to it. If you wanna go the extra mile then throw down some Soil-Fit same day.

I Like your channel! For the bio stimulants such as RGS and micro green are you using a spray tip for liquid to be absorbed by the plant tissue ( fine mist) or larger size droplets to be absorbed into soil. Thanks!
For the bio stimulants, I like to use a little bit of a larger droplet size. I’m using the dual spray tip that sprays in a cone spray pattern and then I’ll use a TJet tip that sprays the finer mist for products such as weed killer to better cover the plant leaf.
@@ArtieMcYardiethanks Artie!
grass looking good👍
Love the opening jam.
Much appreciated
I have used black cow, and end up with lots of weeds from the mix.
Heads up black kow is super high in nutrients so yes, if you have weed seeds in your lawn existing, you will see growth. Have you tried using any type of post emergent when you throw down your topsoil or your compost over the lawn? Is your lawn established already that you’re just adding compost or topsoil if so, throw down some post emergent. Are you just trying to level your lawn or are you also filling in thin or dead spots if you’re just trying to level, stick with sand only and then throw some micro nutrients in there when you put the sand in there such as RGS. Sometimes when I’m filling in thin spots, I’ll throw topsoil or compost over it raking in and then give it a little spritz of some post emergent to ensure no weed growth.
I removed all weeds and grass in a 20x20 area, cultivated, racked, mixed black cow in with top soil with centipede seed Watered when needed, all i got was weeds from black cow that was disaponiting.
@@Kantuk391 agree, ongoing battle and story of my life as well. Sometimes I feel defeated and feel like the weeds grow better than the grass specially in those weak spots just stay strong and keep at it. My recommendation is twice a year, at least throwing down pre-emergent so spring and fall at the very least and like I said anytime you do sand or topsoil or compost spritz it a little bit with selective post emergent that is safe for the grass
I mix it in a garden cart before applying
Love that. Wish I had one of those bad boys. But I don’t have the storage space. So I usually just do very small sections at a time.

Or just grow a natural environment. Weeds are just plants you don't want. 🙄
Yup. True to that.
I have the 40v Ryobi sprayer and you just convinced me to order the 2 gallon sprayer. I already have the batteries so, tool only for 80$. I hate the pump sprayer I have so this will make it easier to spray them damn weeds! Thanks!
Anytime bro. 😎 also the link to the tool only is on my profile.
New sub here. I have a KBG lawn that I like to keep very short. Does that multipurpose sand have larger pepples it? I like to reel mow part of the year and larger pepples would not work out well for me.
Yes, sir it does have larger grains. for someone like you I would highly recommend; actually only recommend silica sand. It is extremely fine in particle size. I would only use that and nothing else. You can get this at Home Depot or Lowe’s. Just make sure to please get one of those bad ass respirator masks. You don’t wanna breathe that stuff in.
