      Thomas! Josh's song is amazing. I listen to it with my daughter all the time. I'm not going full microbes but a healthy mix of them because I live on the water and their products just make me sense to me for the environment. I have some sweet product reviews I'm doing over summer. All battery baby!

      soil microbes are a good addition to a fertilizer program for lawn or garden. some people may think that I'm saying this is all you need, these are just more tools to achieve healthy soil. it's where it all began🤷‍♀️. Just my thought, I'm not a scientist, just some dood trying to do my part!

      I would use Liquid aeration only before I was going to have mechanical aeration done to soften up the ground. That stuff is just a water retainer right?

      @@TheNeighborDominator that’s pretty much what I understand. I think it’s probably good for people who don’t have an irrigation system but if you have an irrigation system and water frequently I don’t see the need for liquid aeration. Mechanical aeration should work just fine I would imagine

    Awesome video man, the only problem with this product is the soil microbes don’t have a very long shelf. Meaning some of the microbial activity is dead as it sits in a bottle on a shelf. But it is a good product , and great video. Keep up the great content 👍

    Great info and editing. It's like anything else. The best way to go about lawn care is with balance. Using best cultural practices along with proper amendments working together to achieve the best lawn you can. No one product or products will accomplish this as some people might think. It would be like taking medication for high cholesterol and then eating anything you want. Doesn't work that way 😁

    I agree with this except the choice not to bag.
    On other media you mentioned Poa annua and because it flowers and seeds all the time, I think your increasing that problem by leaving those seeds on the turf.

      I'm removing that stuff so it doesn't spread! I'm not against bagging at all. if I go on vacation and come back I'm going to bag for sure. But I want to really go for it with this product and see how much thatch I can pull out at the end of the season. Bagging makes the best stripes

    So do you still aerate your lawn when you use thatch buster?

    • @TheNeighborDominator
      @TheNeighborDominator  Рік тому

      I only aerate when there is Compaction. If there is a lot of standing water and what not. I am doing my back and side yard this year but not the front because i dont have those issues. I have had disease issues because of to much thatch build up. I dethatched the front the other day and was not ripping up much because i was using the thatch buster religiously last year on it.
