    Doc does a core aeration on two of the lawns and discusses the both the benefits and drawbacks. Aeration is a critical step in lawn and soil health but it can have a negative impact on reel mowers. The cores can contain rocks and sand which can dull and damage blades.

    Hey Doc you should do an experiment with one of those drum composters with your cores and some of the leaves from the woods around you I'm starting with the dirt booster Plus it should build up a heck of a compost and show people what they can do if they're not running a 2000 square foot garden

    I had nice grass on the side of my house, dummy neighbor of mine would set his prinkler on during day 12 pm when the sun would already be blazing in TX. Needless to say, I now have no grass on the side of my house, just rock hard dirt. Thank you for this video, I think this will really help me. Oh and that neighbor moved out already .

    In NE Florida just across the border from GA. I have 7,200 sqft im going to seed with zenith zoysia I got from Super Sod. Soil temps are 67 currently and 10 day forecast is 78, 80, 81, 81, 79, 79, 83, 85, 86 and 84. Do you think I should pull the trigger and seed it or wait a little longer? Also I love your content very informative.

    Not sure, maybe I missed it but Doc might’ve forgot to mention if you’re going to aerate and seed you might not want to do a pre-emergent. I’m jealous of that Billygoat! 😜. Thanks Doc!

    Question for ya Doc. We are about to seed bermuda (Not common seed) on our lawn. The lawn is mostly dirt at this point with very little grass. I want to put humichar and pfg complete down but in what order is the best when seeding?

    Quick question - Love your channel. I amended my soil 8 days ago (after soil test), I added Green Shocker 5 days ago. Would it be too early to go ahead and add PGF Complete 16-4-8 now? Thanks in advance.

  • @davidsalameno6240
    @davidsalameno6240 Місяць тому

    Doc been watching you for 3 years now and was wondering how often do we put down our products down from Anderson? Like the PGF complete HUMICHAR, green shocker and such? Do we need to put it out once a week or month? Just starting this treatment on my lawn and want to know how often we put it out? I’ve tried to find it on the lawn guide but couldn’t find how often we put it out.

  • @iheartdbsquared
    @iheartdbsquared Місяць тому +1

    Heeeeey Doc. Would putting down Zoysia Seed after a core-aeration, have a decent chance of success? In the past, I have scarified zoysia seed in.

  • @MrKbsweeney

    Doc, core vs. spike? Might be a great addition to your guides.

    • @everss02
      @everss02 Місяць тому +3

      spike doesn't remove compaction

    • @DirtygardenCA
      @DirtygardenCA Місяць тому +1

      spike is for something like bent grass greens. Spike aeration may increase compaction.

      Once you scalp.. keep it short and the heat will take over. There are sprays for this, but I prefer natural transition. Bermuda always wins.

    So if you have a clay soil do you recommend removing the plugs?

  • @goofball1810
    @goofball1810 24 дні тому

    It's manual labor but I have found the ego bristle broom flipped backwards so it brooms back at you will clean your grass clean as a whistle while you walk backwards with it. Just have to do sections at a time and take breaks. I use mine for sand that graders push into my yard with snow, crab apples, nuts, leaves, and grass. Borrow someone's battery or gas and try it out. You have to flip the damn thing tho because the other way is way to hard to push.

    However, I don’t know what grass seed to use for shade. I got some a few years ago that was called 5 Star didn’t do so good. What’s good grass for shade?

    Clay soil where I live, my neighbor and I have debated the topic of picking up cores or not after an aeration. You say pick them up, many say leave them. Is it something that you can’t really go wrong with either way?

    How long after seeding a Bermuda lawn should I apply my first bag of PGF Complete? It will be a brand new seed after a full dethatch. I figured commenting on your latest video would be best. Thanks for all your guides!

  • @Cheiiba

    I think fabricating a "catch" container behind ol' Billygoat to catch the cores would be a better solution.

    • @85jorgea
      @85jorgea 27 днів тому

      Exactly my thought. Looks like they fall a few inches behind and putting some kind of catch like the sweeper has would at least get most of them 🤔

  • @michaelcarroll8693
    @michaelcarroll8693 Місяць тому +1

    Doc, I have drainage pipe and electrical conduit buried just below the surface of my lawn making it difficult to do a core aeration. Do you have any experience with liquid aeration, or would I be wasting my money?

    • @derrickp
      @derrickp Місяць тому +1

      Liquid aeration is better than nothing but no where close to a core aeration. Can’t you just flag the area with the drainage and electrical and avoid that area
