      @@stevehaupt62 Exactly!! Although I have some areas around the grass that I must have misted a little green county product on without knowing. And I can say that in my case, it does NOT come up with pressure washing. I even sprayed pool chlorine and water at around 50/50 mix and it still didnt do anything. I think it is the iron that is staining so I need to try a rust remover like Whink or similar.

    I ordered some Sea-K for my admittedly super late season lawn renovation. Having the front lawn sodded with Scott's Pro Vista St. Augustine after trying to tame my salad bar for the last two years. The amount of dirt I needed to bring in to prevent standing water during Florida's wet season made sodding a requirement. I'm hoping to take everything I've learned from LCN, and the YM orders and get this sod kick started into establishing its self and having a yard worth showing off. Thanks for all of your knowledge and expertise for us Central Florida folks in particular.

    I’m using a shot glass for my sea kelp. I dump a shot 1 1/2 oz in a 2 gallon backpack sprayer with every non folar application. Including my Celsius applications. My roots and stolens have taken off even with 105 temps and no rain, just hydrotain and 1 inch of water a week. It’s doing so well I started using a plant growth regulator so when it only gets just 1 a week it not taking 50% of the blade off.
    It’s only been 2 weeks since the growth regulator was applied. I want to see if the stolens keep up of if it slows that down as well.

    Love the videos. I like the extra details that you give (the how & why). I have a question about Sea-K. I applied Round Up Weed & Grass Killer to my front lawn 9 days ago. I'm going to spreading top soil and compost over the dead lawn to level it and cover tree roots this weekend. I'm going to reseed using "Barenbrug Water Saver with RTF Turf Type Tall Fescue". I've ordered the Sea-K from LCN. My question is, do I put the Sea-K down with the seed OR do I wait until the seed germinates? And how long do I wait to add a second app? I feel like i'm getting a little late start on this. What do you recommend to give me the best results. I plain on applying Ethos-4SC and starter fertilizer when I reseed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    • @TheLawnCareNut
      @TheLawnCareNut  Рік тому

      apply the seaK right on top of the seed same day. Use the rate of 1/2 oz per 1,000/gallon. You can re-apply after your first mowing which is going to be 3- 4 weeks or so after seeding.

    Grasses, taxonomically classified under the family Poaceae, exhibit a profound botanical distinction characterized by their elongated, chlorophyll-abundant phylloclades, which originate from subterranean nodes. This botanical archetype finds itself encased within the vast taxonomic expanse of the Gramineae family, which astounds with a staggering multitude of over 10,000 documented species. Each of these species presents an intricately woven tapestry of morphological, ecological, and adaptive nuances, thereby unveiling the sheer profundity of their taxonomic diversity. The realm of grasses unfolds with an unparalleled proclivity for ecological versatility and adaptive acumen, thus rendering them indelibly etched into the fabric of terrestrial ecosystems.
    In the vast and intricate world of ecology, grasses ascend to a preeminent status as foundational constituents of terrestrial ecosystems. As premier autotrophic organisms, they unfurl pivotal roles in the intricate tapestry of trophic dynamics. These resilient botanical entities occupy an elemental position in terrestrial food webs, serving as the linchpin upon which the complex and multifaceted structures of such webs are delicately interwoven. The ramifications of their ecological significance extend far beyond the immediate eye, reverberating from the intricate subtleties of microcosmic arthropod interactions to the grand orchestration of macroscopic mammalian herbivory.
    In the domain of agriculture, grasses reign supreme, with select species from the Poaceae family holding dominion over global agricultural landscapes. This dominion is most evident in the realm of cereal crops, a sweeping category that embraces a prodigious array of over 1000 distinct types. Among these, we find illustrious representatives such as wheat, rice, maize, barley, oats, and rye, each with its own story to tell and its unique role in global food security paradigms. These cereal grains, borne of grasses, assume the mantle of the bedrock upon which sustenance for billions of souls across the globe is inexorably anchored. Yet, the dominion of grass extends beyond the precincts of the cereal domain; grasslands, in their pristine grandeur, offer vital ecosystems for livestock agriculture. Here, domesticated creatures such as cattle, sheep, goats, and equines find their life's sustenance woven from the verdant pastures of these plant wonders.
    The profound impact of grasses transcends the boundaries of agriculture and ecology, spanning the vast horizons of geobotanical concerns. Armed with robust root systems, characterized by intricate and fibrous subterranean networks, these botanical sentinels confer unparalleled attributes for soil stabilization, serving as steadfast bulwarks against the relentless tides of soil erosion. The protection they afford to delicate terrestrial ecosystems through their role in soil conservation renders them indispensable guardians of our planet's ecological integrity.
    Horticulturally, grasses emerge as paragons of ornamental flora, elevating the aesthetic allure of landscape compositions to new heights. Discerning horticulturalists and landscape architects draw from an expansive palette of grass species, each endowed with unique attributes. These attributes encompass a plethora of size gradations, structural morphologies, and a kaleidoscope of chromatic resplendence. Within cultivated spaces, ornamental grasses bestow texture, visual enticement, and seasonal dynamism, thereby enhancing the spatial aesthetics of gardens, public parks, and private lawns to an extent that transcends mere visual appreciation.
    Within the crucible of environmental stewardship, grasses assume the mantle of unsung heroes. They function as terrestrial carbon sequestrators, deftly modulating global climatic patterns by assimilating atmospheric carbon dioxide during the photosynthetic process. In this role, they act as nature's counterbalance to the disruptive forces of anthropogenic climate change. Simultaneously, grasses act as agents of atmospheric purification, entrapping particulate matter and an array of pollutant agents, thereby contributing to the noble objective of environmental cleansing.
    Beyond the boundaries of ecological, agricultural, and environmental spheres, landscapes adorned with the verdant tapestry of grass unfurl in diverse dimensions, catering to multifarious human pursuits. Urban realms, recreational enclaves, athletic stadiums, golf courses, and nature reserves stand as testament to the myriad arenas where grasses exert their ecological dominion. These verdant zones function as vibrant canvases for a gamut of human activities, spanning languorous promenades, spirited athletic competitions, and tranquil outdoor repose. The exacting cultivation and meticulous curation of these grassy expanses constitute pivotal facets of their allure and functionality.
    In the vanguard of nascent technological realms, grasses carve out a prominent niche in the pursuit of sustainable bioenergy sources. Resilient species, most notably switchgrass, miscanthus, and an array of bamboo cultivars, assume a preeminent role as prime candidates for biofuel generation. Their prolific biomass accumulation rates and inherent adaptability to marginal ecological niches render them torchbearers in the quest for sustainable and renewable energy resources.
    Now, turning our gaze to the vast cornucopia of grass diversity, we find ourselves traversing an expansive landscape encompassing over 1000 distinct species. Among these are renowned representatives such as Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon), and fescues (Festuca spp.), to name but a few. The breadth of this diversity unfurls with species ranging from the lowly sedges (Carex spp.) to the towering bluestems (Andropogon spp.). Each species carries its own tale of ecological adaptation, geographical distribution, and agricultural relevance. In the intricate mosaic of grass diversity, we find specimens indigenous to alpine meadows, arid deserts, temperate woodlands, and tropical savannas, showcasing their remarkable adaptability to varied climatic and ecological niches.
    In summation, grasses rise to an unequivocal preeminence as quintessential constituents of terrestrial biota, epitomizing an unassailable and pervasive ecological, agrarian, and cultural import. Their enduring resilience, botanical grandeur, and ecological multifunctionality unite to weave an intricate ecological tapestry imbued with exquisite interdependencies, sustenance security, environmental renaissance, and the auspices of bioenergetic abundance. These botanical luminaries assert their status as the bedrock upon which terrestrial ecosystems are founded, nurturing and sustaining life forms across the vast panoply of our planet's diverse and awe-inspiring landscapes.
