Major Sod Worm Damage! - How to Recover Without Pesticides
One of the few videos I've seen where the bottom grate is also used. I need to cook 3 pork shoulders for a party this weekend and need to make use of both grates. Thanks for posting this vid.
Sad. You forgot to add the chewing tobacco to Jerry Baker’s Information from PBS so few years ago. Hope his family gets a kick back from this info tube profits.
Has anyone tried this mixture? I have tried everything for years and still have sod webworms. Does it work?
I just found your channel and am encouraged by your recommendation. I have three acres in north Texas (zone 8 Dallas area) that needs drought tolerant grass. Thanks for posting these - have watched the first 3 (looking for more).
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching
Can it be used in south Florida?
I’d say no. You get too much moisture down there for it to thrive.
sounds like summer monsoons are a germination driver.
No mas on the Honda walk behind mowers. Thanks, Honda.
Yeah so I don't want to hear you talk about it. I want to see you planting it, growing it, and maintaining it....then I might be a believer.
Check the playlist
Looks delicious!
Your garage is so neat and organized
Seems to be rubbing that nose a fair bit, coincidence?!
Watched several vids on charcoal grilled t-bone and yours is the best!
So I live in Pueblo, CO. My yard is nothing but dirt and weeds. In the process of getting rid of goat head weeds. Looking into Blue Grama grass for the back yard. Hopefully it all works out for me!
What variety do you use? Sundancer? If so..the only difference between the other varieties is sundancer has male plants? Or are there more differences?
Unless you get plugs or sod, all seeded varieties of buffalograss come with male plants.
@@theyardfreako so they are essentially the same look wise. Except subdancer has the male heads. I don’t mind the look of the seed heads or whatever they are called. Thanks sweetheart.
Ammonia?
I wish I had watched this before I planted sundancer, my area gets about 20 inches per year, I watered too much, when It started to look bad I watered more...that is one difference between bermuda nd buffalo...bermuda will take ALL the water and get stronger...buffalo will just die..,eventually the bermuda took over and all of my sundancer died....I am trying again..Now I know!!! Thanks.
If it attracts hummingbirds it will also attract hummingbird moths, those are truly a rare sight. Put a motion activated camera on them.
Haha maybe when I make some actual UA-cam bucks. Until then… gotta work with what I have.
@@theyardfreako Wyze brand cameras are some of the cheapest and best rated cameras available, and have motion activation and cloud storage. Wyze v3 are also weather resistant.
RR Real Rookie
The perfect cook! Thanks for sharing.
I never ever cook anything on a charcoal grill by a SET time if you do you will just ruin good meat. Peeking at your steaks is better than burning them.
@2:59 Drop the Drop-Spreader! I did. Last one wire out new Scotts® one I purchased last year never closed its door tightly spilling up to 33% of product in sidewalk when 180° turning. Is watering-in absolutely necessary? The tap water I use has tested at 8.2 pH; It kills me to irrigate because I fight-fight-fight-annually to get below 7.9 pH.
Get to the sprinkler we don't care about your yards condition
😂
Love hanger steak... especially with over easy eggs for breakfast !!! Nice work with your prep and cook 👍👍
It was a genuine surprise of my life when I ate it the first time. Had to spread the word
Let's eat. What's up Tim.
Living the dream
So.....what variety of buffalo grass DO YOU HAVE?
I used Sundancer for the yard back in 2019
@@theyardfreako I just installed Prestige plugs but I wish I had used Sundancer seed like you for a more prairie look with the tall inflorescence seedheads.
I like the white wheel better
Me too
Which sprayer from HD is this? Did it come with that tip? Also, why did you put so little ams in that measuring cup?
Pretty sure it was this one… Your friend has shared a link to a Home Depot product they think you would be interested in seeing. www.homedepot.com/p/HDX-1-Gallon-Multi-Purpose-Lawn-and-Garden-Pump-Sprayer-1501HDXA/307766754 The reason why it looked like I put so little in was because my initial pour of actual AMS wasn’t shot well by my camera, so I did a reshoot with what you saw.
I bought 2-18" WSM used and cleaned them up and now use them. No need to use a breakin burn and saved hundreds of dollars via Craigslist.
Bermuda grass shows up in my nightmares.
I see st Louis is outside of the range for Buffalo grass. Do you have any recommendations for low to no maintenance ground covers for lawns? Micro Clover or regular Clover seems to be a good choice, but I'd be interested in hearing from someone who clearly knows a hell of a lot more about this stuff than I do. Whatever I choose needs to be safe for dogs, cause my dogs definitely love grazing!
Sorry for the late response. Microclover works. I’ve also heard of creeping thyme being a cool grass replacement as well.
Well said
Love my Weber Smokey mountain
Buffalo grass is a native grass on the eastern plains of Colorado which gets less than 15 inches of water per year.
True, but if you want to keep it green, it’ll take more than that. If you don’t it’ll go into dormancy
Still no update on it? Must not have been the out come you were looking for??
Real life gets in the way. Just for you, I’ll try and record a “five years later” results video
@@theyardfreako ok lol
good work brother 👏
Thanks man. Gonna make some more for the Chief/49’s game!
Hey what's up man. Long time no see. Hope all is well . I'm hungry lol
Yep just been busy. Definitely gonna make some videos this year so you’ll be seeing more of me. How’s life on Long Island these days?
@@theyardfreako all good over here. Just waiting for Spring to start. 👍🏻
Pitiful looking steaks
Can you get this at any hardware store
The sprayer I got from Home Depot. The fertilizer, as long as it is chemical, not organic, you can easily dissolve into water to spray it. Look for a fertilizer that says 21/0/0 blend for example
@theyardfreako okay, thank you, but I'm not sure of my yeard measurements
Buffalo grass it is. Thanks for the video, man
Glad I could help
This video should have got Way more views!
Your bark is amazing every time I watch someone cook on a sm they don’t develop proper bark what temp did you run and what would you recommend?
I ran it between 240 and 225. Not sure what to say, other than use the type of charcoal I used in the video.
Best video I have seen yet for pork butt on the Weber Smokey Mountain!
I appreciate it thank you!
I'm in Houston and our summer was hard on the lawn, especially the area that got stomped when the crew was installing a new driveway. Since only small patches of St Augustine survived, I went to the Native American Seed website to see what I might try as an overseeding in that area, and decided to try blue grama. I hand-broadcast it yesterday (a 1-lb bag), watered it in and today it's raining. Temps are still in the 80s through the weekend so I have my fingers crossed for at least some germination. Thanks for this video, and I should have found it before I did the seeding yesterday haha.
How's your grass doing now? I'm in central Texas and may have to change out my lawn for something less water dependent.
@@MrErpman I had good germination to begin with. I don't think it's taking to regular mowing, though (every two weeks).
Honestly I bought all female buffalograss and at this point I can’t distinguish buffalograss from Bermuda that is coming back. At least the male florets lets you know it’s buffalograss
Yeah that’s what I like about keeping it all female. I don’t mind the male florets. They look cool swaying in a small breeze
Can you show us how the blue grama you seeded is doing?
I’ll see if I can do a videos next week
Burn grass with sulphate then top soils spread and water
Oh dude, I'm sorry you don't make videos anymore. You were fun. I enjoyed your videos.
Life has been kind of crazy the last two years. I believe I’ll have bandwidth next spring to start up again.
@@theyardfreako well I always enjoyed your videos. Best of luck to you.
you have some shade trees, is that affecting growth? I have a really high trimmed tree that gives dappled shade mid day, hoping that will not hurt growth. full morning sun and after 2pm. I got the 609 variety full sod here in Arlington TX.
HRR series has a serious design flaw in the rear wheels causing them to remain locked up when you’re pulling the mower back. To my knowledge Honda has no recall for this problem despite hundreds if not thousands of complaints about it. no HRR or Honda for me in my future. And oh, yes, the crappy wheels lasted for four years and then needed replacement. My last self-propelled mower wheels lasted for 25 years.
I haven't heard of that happening. Only thing I've been annoyed by is, like you said the wheels getting worn out and not gripping the yard. Thanks for watching!
You really should have put the nozzles pointing a bit upward, so you don't abuse the grass as much, or flowers as you pass by. It would give you wider coverage and more of a downward droplet like rain with less impact. Or maybe you just did that to protect the camera? If you have that issue with the water turning off frequently, you could save some steps and frustration by getting an Underhill ball valve that you can put at the end of your hose. I ran a side business for 10 years doing roof and exterior cleaning, and these Underhill ball valves last, and they have the largest opening ball that I could find so it won't restrict your gallons per minute water flow. Besides that, it makes working with hoses so much easier. Great video though!
