I've been chasing a ghost with my lawn care. Do you know when my lawn was the best, no joke? When I followed LCN lawn care from 5+ years ago. Starter fertilizer in the spring, Mylo on the holidays. My lawn would sing. Now I do all these fancy apps. Following all these programs. This takes me back to the old saying. Keep it simple stupid. When I kept it simple stupid, my lawn rocked!!! I think this year I'm going back to the simple things, and less stress. Why??? Because it worked.
Great tips!! That Sanctuary looks like really good stuff! I’m all good with products for this season coming up, but looking forward to seeing your results this season. I’ll pick some up next year for sure!!
I fired my lawn care company for this yr. Not going all crazy & buying a ton of products. Taking a simple approach with a couple of things and we'll see where I end up.
I am about to embark on my first spring cleanup, and was wondering should I be raking or D thatching first, and then going through the two steps you mentioned here in this video? I absolutely love your channel. Keep up the great work. I like how you try and keep things simple and non-intimidating, because I do get overwhelmed with this stuff sometimes.
We are not allowed the pre-emergents here in the uk, but going to try the “one cut per week” approach at a higher setting to see what progress here in the uk it brings. Can’t wait to show the progress :-)
@@TheLawnWhisperer I have an older craftsman lawn mower. Would the toro striping kit or checkmate work on my mower or would I need something specific for the craftsman?
@@darylbeebe6517 I’d say for sure the toro would work. The checkmate kits are made specifically for each mower I believe so you would have to search their store to see if they make one for your mower
2 questions: What product(s) at Home Depot would contain Prodiamine? And, could I apply this on new sods of St. Augustine in my SE Texas yard? Thank you for this wonderful video
Just picked up some sanctuary and Prodiamine. I used carbon x last year year enjoyed it. Do you recommend any other that might be better? (Blue grass) Also what is best in your option to get rid of clover 🍀? Thanks in advance!
Question for the Whisper community.. I over seeded this spring and I’m going to confess I did not do proper research. 😔 I went to the big box store and got recommendations from a Scott’s representative, I felt good about the choices I purchased. But two weeks later the results have not been as I hoped to have gotten. I used Scott’s thick’r lawn sun & shade product along with Scott’s Triple Action Built for Seeding Lawn + Fertilizer. I did see some growth but very patchy clearly the product used did not contain enough seed. My question is can I do this process again? I live in Minnesota. I’m concerned of applying more seed sense I used the turf builder that has tenacity in it. Would the seeds germinate? I do have a in ground sprinkler system.
Making the switch from granular to liquid this year. Haven’t bought any Bio-Stimulants yet. Would Sanctuary be good in that arena? Oh, and I think the mystery bottle is SeaK from Greene County Fert.
Hey quick question. I have a second year yard. Lots of crabgrass and weeds. I really need to reseed many areas and put some straw down. Lots of bare spots. Would you recommend putting down that preemergent and then reseeding 3 months from now or just skipping the pre emergent this year ? I’m still learning so would appreciate your advice !
I missed the pre-emergent window and am now seeing some weeds. should I still apply a pre-emergent or is it better to apply a post now that weeds are active? Also - do you recommend a surfactant no matter what you use?
Question: I've been a customer of Scott's Lawn Service (which is now TruGreen) for 20 years+... Can I use Sanctuary (myself) in addition to their professional grade products? I like the idea of feeding the soil the micorrhizae - - my turf, as well as flowerbeds! =^..^= 🇺🇸
@@TheLawnWhisperer ... I don't know the exact product applied until it's on the ticket left at the door (and I do pay attention!)

I just got pre-emergent granular 2 weeks ago (which will be one of two applications). =^..^=
@@naturegirl7777 it wouldn’t hurt to add it in since it’s low nitrogen. You could do monthly applications if you wanted or could stretch it out further to do every other month

Where'd you get that black paddle attachment for your drill? I see a few on Amazon, but I want to make sure they're big enough to get the job done. That's what she said.
Hey! I bought the Prodiamine, Sanctuary and the My4Sons from you! Love that sprayer, but tell me (daft question) what are you using on the drill to mix it? Love this channel! 👊🏻👊🏻
Got a few things in my cart! Question , if I already have a few weeds coming though can I put prodiamine in something like a 15-0-0 weed and feed or combine with a post emergent to cover it all?
Sanctuary. I had to look that one up. Can you talk more about that and where you buy it in a video. How did you find it and how does it compare to other bio's, etc. Also, what seed do you use and what mowing height? Sorry for all the questions. I just found you and want the same results 🙂
The only place you can buy sanctuary is via my website. There is a link to that in the description of this video. You can buy pretty much everything I use on my lawn on my site.

I prefer to bag it but you could mulch as well if you wanted. I’d just mark out a 1,000 square foot area, fill your sprayer up with 2 gallons and spray the area and see how much you have left. The amount you used is how much you need to cover 1,000 square feet

How low are you able to get your tall fescue lawn? I like the tight and low look but have tall fescue so walk a tight rope. I have not gone below 3in but wondering if I can try and go lower still keeping health and good color. Thx
Hello Lawn Whisperer! I'm wondering if you would be interested in trialing lawn care without pesticides? Your kids are cute and I'm hoping you'd be up for trying chemical free. Safer for kids, pets, and our local waterways. WDYT?
Is my math correct. Its 0.185oz per 1000. So that small bottle can do 28,000 sq ft??? Wow! Hard to imagine only 0.185oz will be successful but I trust you. I'm gonna try and do it twice.
