It's funny when I go to some type of garden center and the plants look like they are dying of thirst. I'll ask somebody why they don't water them and they say it's not good to water him in the heat. But when God water them at 3 the afternoon they bounce right back up.
I really like your patio area. I know its a grass channel, but I am currently looking to do my whole yard so I'm curious as to who you went with to do your patio work, and if you dont mind sharing a quick layout of it?
I just renovated my lawn. Power raked to bare dirt then split seeded as you suggested in your video. Dropped your seed with xstart 8-24-4. Is it okay for me to water at night to keep soil moist? I’m in Chesapeake Va Thank you for your time and products
Just something I noticed because of the field I work in... but I hope you have cameras/security system on your building out there. With it being so far from the houses and your tree line blocking the view, thieves will feel pretty comfortable trying to get in there.
Pete I really could use your advice,we don’t have a well ,and the water bill can get pretty expensive. What could you recommend on watering I’m located in Birmingham Alabama. Thanks God bless
Does anybody know the origin between Dinner and Supper? Supper is typically a lighter earlier meal, where Dinner would be a little later and heavier.. Not a rule in Southern family's, more just a name for both.
I see thats a Rainbird rotor because of the green adjustment tool, are you using a 6504 Falcon? We began to have issues with the Falcon series rotors with coverage. We have removed about 200 of them from our baseball fields and switched them over to Hunter i40 SS. You should give the I40 a try and do your irrigation uniformity test again.
Pete, do you use Root Feeders for your Tree's? I have and seems to help when in a drought situation and I use a Soaker hose, buried( about 3-4" in and around my bushes with 2-3" of Mulch on top..
Hey there Pete. I think when my irrigation waters too much it causes the nutsedge but I’m not positive. Don’t have it yet but it was in full force last August. So much I killed the whole yard and used your seed to overseed. It’s super thick now. Hoping that will keep out the damn nutsedge plus I got a water measuring container. Measure up to 2 inches. Fingers crossed. Should I get a funguside now that I have your seed in the back to be proactive??
🤔 My front yard is definitely struggling a bit more this year. I'm going to associate that with the fact I overseeded with your TTF/KGB Mix. Fairly new to KGB so I'll assume it's a bit more water hungry. Backyard though looks a lot better but I'd chalk that up to being smaller and the sprinkler heads being closer which should mean more water going down. Both front and back run for the same amount of time. The time was determined by my Rachio 3 automatically. Last year front yard looked better. The only other change made besides overseeding with your KGB mix is I switched from CarbonX to Flagship by Allyn the LCN. Wondering if that's playing a part as well. 🤷♀️
Steve Avant he already defeated the devil on the cross. In the meantime the Lord left us in charge. We don't all handle the authority given us well. Thru ignorance, lack of faith, laziness, whatever, it's easier to blame God than ourselves.
4 x 90 degrees make 360 degrees Pete. Get you geometry right! LOL Buuuutt, I really do suck at math tho!! And SUPER hot too. Good gracious it's hot. Good video
Hey Pete I'm on day number 10 with no cutting too..... its too hot. I used my pull behind rake to comb the grass for add air flow. In some places I'm at 7 inches.
Wow, I'm so addicted to your videos that I can't have much sleep given to your healthy lawn remedies. Somehow my mind discerned that you were a believer in God. And whoa, I came to this video with you saying that Jesus was the living water of the land and the souls. Amen, brother. Keep the videos and divine wisdom for the lawns and the Lord.
I put in my own well and my average water bill dropped $150 a month. I’m only down 30’ , south Florida, and I have all the water I need. The garden and lawn are now on well. It paid for itself in about 3 months.
I have a family house 4 bedroom and 3 full baths 1/2 are wash clothes and my water never over 40.00 dollars I can.t ever remember even with the pool we had ever being over 50. Dollars
@@MikeUochoa19 www.news-medical.net/health/Melatonin-in-Plants.aspx It's worth an experiment, dont take my word for it try it! You'll need to figure out the dosage and get pure melatonin, not the pills at the drug store that have filler in them.
What is a strong "strong fungicide plan"? My lawn is infested with fungus. Can I really use Sodium Bicarbonate (1/2 cup per gallon of water) to kill the fungus?
Check it out! Some say don't water at night right......... However it rains DAY and NIGHT! So if night time watering was THAT bad all grass would just be ruined! So lawn care rules are actually kind of silly..........:) It RAINS Day and Night .........................:)
Man I appreciate this video! I’m a NC native and your accent reminds me of home! I have the greenest lawn in my cul de sac in VA. Blessings to you and your family.
Jesus never said or did anything as he does not exist in any way outside your closed mind. Humans are evolved, this is not even open for debate. Now I can't take a thing you say seriously ...
I have a hopefully quick question that needs a little bit of set up. Last September, my wife and I had sod laid here in eastern SD close to the MN boarder. This is the sods first spring and the landscaping company set our irrigation system to run for 40 minutes each zone 3 times every day (4 zones total, 2 in the front yard sections and 2 in the single back yard section). I have decreased the time to 30 minutes a zone twice a day. I’m assuming it’s being watered way too much? I’m cutting the grass at 3 inches about every 3-4 days.
We water at night only here in Arizona. Night and right before dawn. For multiple reasons. The top one being the evaporation rate and how much water costs. Even using reclaimed water my complex spent 25 grand keeping 2 acres grass green last year. And in the winter time they do it at dawn because it’s the coldest part of the night and it keeps the pipes from bursting. It’s insane. You go from 45 at night all the way to 100+ degrees in the summer.
I mean this in no disrespect but yes it has been in the 90’s in central NC but it hasn’t been very humid at night like it is during a normal summer. The lawn been given time to get a little relief at night because it’s way cooler. Also I think if you have a well and not city water where as you can pump an unlimited amount of water...you sir have a premium situation and I think it’s awesome. Not hating but the normal homeowner is not going to have this situation, let’s be real Pete.
Brother the Charlie Daniels Band had it right. The devil went down to Georgia, and he brought some of his heat and lack of water here. Triple digits for the next 3 days, heat index today was easily 107°F, 95°+ and no rain in the forecast until next Sunday. Good thing the city says I can water my yard tomorrow, it's looking crispy. That was a huge cucumber, and those plants look awesome.
Those water measures are best-evidence of why you run your irrigation head to head, not apex of throw to throw, and run them half-as-often as you would otherwise think. That way each head gets its close-throw *and* the other head's long throw, and vice versa.
Lisa S, I live in Nj and no I haven’t seen anything from it yet. I sprayed 1 32oz bottle over 5,900sf several days ago and watered it. I am still getting hot spots and we’re still in May. 🙄
Hey Pete We live in Locust NC, and man it is getting dry as a bone ain't it.. some of my customers don't have in ground irrigation so I'm really hoping we get a wet spell soon. I've been doing night time watering for years during these hot spells, and my dumb butt didnt learn about preventative fungicide until last yr.. needless to say, it's imperative to keeping a healthy lawn
Food for thought... roots do not grow through dry soil searching for water. They grow in response to water. Therefore, if only the top inch or two of soil is wet after watering, that's where the majority of roots will be. In other words, deep thorough waterings encourage deeper root systems. Poor root systems = poor plants.
Amen🙏 I've got a question. I live in deep South Texas temperatures get into the 100-104°. They tell me not to water at night. I don't have time to water in the morning. Is it ok to water my grass in the evening? Thanks I'd appreciate your feedback. I have Saint Augustine Grass
What variety of grass is that? I’m in SW Georgia and need to get a lawn established. I had centipede in Middle Georgia and thinking either that or Zoysia.
where i am we have been getting rain, a lot and the summer heat this year has not kicked into gear yet either, still haven't turned on irrigation. still in low to mid 70s and few days now and then in 80s
Hiya Pete! We don't have the premium situation and we're on a well. Given the temps this week here in Durham, with no rain in sight, I was wondering if anti Transpirant spray would be something you would use?
I’m about 40 miles west from you. Tired of the heat!! My TTTF was last mowed about 10 days ago. My back yard, which has a slope is definitely showing signs of heat stress. The last time I mowed, it was sat at 4 3/4 inches. I may have to wait s couple more weeks until mowing, with no rain in sight!! I only have city water, so watering gets expensive fast!! But I have watered a lot at night,too. Thanks for the information Pete!!
Looking great, Pete! I've been praying to the Lord that He sends all this rain we've been getting here in central Oklahoma to y'all on the east coast cause we're flooded in a lot of areas. Hopefully y'all get some rain soon.
Love that well water...our water is so expensive but have to keep our clay soil watered or it shrinks! We have Blue Grass/ Fescue Blend lawn and just had a fungicide applied...does one application typically handle the whole summer or should we plan on doing another in a month or so?
I use to water my bermuda in the early mornings due to the awesome pressure. I have noticed that in central arkansas a lot of the commercial propertys water in the afternoon.
Haven’t used my irrigation system yet this year. We received about 10 inches of rain so far in May but that will change soon, probably go from wet to bone dry !
I am in GA and I definitely needed this video. I have been watering the even for the past 2 weeks. I have put down fungicide but I was still worried. Thank you for the information!!
Great vid Pete!! Same way i do it, i always worried i was messing up, but i t get my fungicide through your academy store, now i know its ok Thanks Pete!!!
Got both of your water advise. Blessings from Costa Rica
Dry and hot here in Alabama. Thank you for the videos and the good info. We call it supper too brother !!!

So what fungicides should I put down to prevent lawn rust that I get every August on my Kentucky blue grass here in Wisconsin
try a different fungicide
Hey there Pete. I think when my irrigation waters too much it causes the nutsedge but I’m not positive. Don’t have it yet but it was in full force last August. So much I killed the whole yard and used your seed to overseed. It’s super thick now. Hoping that will keep out the damn nutsedge plus I got a water measuring container. Measure up to 2 inches. Fingers crossed. Should I get a funguside now that I have your seed in the back to be proactive??
I would use a fungicide
GCI Turf Services will do. Thanks Pete
How much does it cost to water that much?
🤔 My front yard is definitely struggling a bit more this year. I'm going to associate that with the fact I overseeded with your TTF/KGB Mix. Fairly new to KGB so I'll assume it's a bit more water hungry.
Backyard though looks a lot better but I'd chalk that up to being smaller and the sprinkler heads being closer which should mean more water going down.

Does the cup size matter in determining the amount of water?
No... A cup or a 5 gallon bucket will have the same height of water in it. Unless it has a huge top and a small bottom or something...
Rivers of living water flowing out your belly! Holy ghost fire burn! Stay blissed
Only God waters my property at night. I stick to morning.
Great Video. You will never go thirsty again, unless you are the grass lol
Come on now, we know it never rains at night!!! LOL I have been saying that for years. People still stop and tell me I am going to ruin my lawn.

What type of sprinkler unit did you use in the stressed area? And what type of fungus control do you recommend for acidic soil with low drainage?

Still not in summer and you can water most of nature anytime of the day/night there are exceptions.
