      First, I greatly enjoy and benefit from your videos, thank you. I was curious if you have ever had to deal with moles. I'm in ohio and backed up to a small nature preserve. I have a fantastic trap, but I can only set it after I notice activity. In one day, one mole can completely ruin a sizable stretch of land. Any experience with moles? Thanks

    I’m a golf course superintendent, I love to watch these videos. I take very little care of my yard cause I do it all day work lol. I spray weeds that’s it. First thing I noticed is you have a great spreader, expensive but worth it in taller grass makes pushing it much easier. Second Anderson’s makes really good fertilizer products, although expensive too, you could do a soil test and literally find a product Anderson’s makes that would take care of your soil problems.

I was beginning to feel overwhelmed and overbudget with all the different fertilizer brands and it seems like everyone is promoting their own specialty fertilizer with a miraid of supplemental add on products to go along with it. Lawn care feeding was getting very cluttered and confusing to keep up with as I was taking in as much lawn care info as I could find but it came with it a lot of spam. Thanks for simplifying lawn care fertilization with clear facts and what to look for in a quality fertilizer.

      I’m so sorry about your wife! I know how this is and the financial burden health challenges bring with them!
      I’ve been watching you tube for a while on brain health because my grown son has had some major brain traumas and now mold toxicity plus a tick borne infection. We learned all this through my research, taking him to the correct doctors who look for the root cause, and my person experience with toxicity. a doctor who is also a functional medicine practitioner and certified mold specialist. The functional labs they have are almost miraculous, with exact measurements of what the body is carrying. We also did his DNA. I’m digressing, but they have found the reason for Alzheimer’s… toxins.
      If you search, you can find some information on reversing Alzheimer’s. I’m not talking about wacky stuff here.
      This method us the cutting edge if medicine and if you can cut down in one any toxins in your life now, she could possibly be better.
      I just thought I’d give you some advice from what I’ve learned after having a toxin overload for 15 years. I won’t go into gory details, but I had to change my life around and get out of the condo I lived in that had hidden mold, start eating a clean, almost Keto diet, and getting as much clean air as possible. Water filters are a must as well. I was literally in the verge of death, and this saved my life!
      This is immensely helping our son who declined rapidly into psychosis and paranoid schizophrenia with severe dimensia, after attempting suicide. He was living with his father in a home with mold everywhere, and when he came to stay with me, I could tell he had all the symptoms of being neurologically and psychologically ill. After about a year of being in and out of hospitals, my helping him with what I’d learned myself, because I now think my goal is to help others in learning about this tragic problem that is affecting our population.
      Our dentist had to stop practicing because he developed Alzheimer’s from mercury toxicity. He has now passed away.
      Please look into this, because the doctors don’t mention this… naturopaths, functional medicine practitioners, and integrative health doctors can help and reverse Alzheimer’s. Of course, I don’t know your circumstances, but I had developed severe cognitive issues and had to retire from my teaching career.
      I didn’t mean to write all this; I just wanted to say I am sorry about your wife, because it hits home.
      I wish you the best, and will pray for you and your wife! 🙏💫
      All this from watching a fertilizer channel! I hope I’m not offending you.

    We purchased a home with 2 year old kbg sod that was in rough shape, with many large stones underneath in hard clay, brown stripes with bare spots running the length of the property. We did something like: aggressive dethatching, digging up stones, shampooing and aerating, a dose of PGF right before doing a light soil top dressing and leveling, then a mix of milorganite and chicken feed. After getting after it for 4 months, we have the healthiest lawn, and it feels good to walk barefoot in our yard finally. Thank you for all your hard work.

    The video is good. I no longer use Scotts for the same reasons you mentioned. However, while The Andersons PFG Complete is probably "the best", there is no way it is "affordable" for the average homeowner. Currently, it runs around $37/5K sqft bag. For example, I need about 12K sqft so that would be over 2 bags or around $85 worth per application. I will stick with lawn fertilizers from Rural King or Menards, typically between $28 - $32 for 15K sqft bags.

    • @bradjones2480
      @bradjones2480 Рік тому +1

      Larry, I am not even familiar with Anderson but I do know ferts and turf and when someone starts talking about "a bag for so many sqft", the reality is you probably need a bit more education in fertilizers. Did you know there are different forms of Nitrogen used in ferts? And that can affect things like PH. Slow release cost more, always will! It is also both a money saver and time saver. We apply only 2 apps/yr.

    I'm so glad you put out this video. Keep it simple. I'm so burned out of all the people pushing all the Humic products like they are the best thing since sliced bread... they aren't. Does Humic Acid work? Maybe a little bit... but nothing what these companies are claiming. I put it out on my yard for 3 years in conjunction with my standard fertilizing program and my yard was no different than before and my yard is really, really nice. I just don't see how more people aren't realizing it??? Again great video!

    • @SilverCymbal
      @SilverCymbal  3 роки тому +6

      Well said. Keep it simple is best. I have no issues adding extra elements like Humic Acid & like Sea Kelp a lot but I do them separately when I want to. The base fertilizer is the MOST important part of your lawn and if you keep that going without anything else you will be ahead of the game. It costs a lot of money to take a lawn that is 90% good and get to 100% and some people want that but most of us don't and love a 90% perfect lawn and it looks great without being a burden.

    I agree, the Anderson's products are excellent. I live in northern Lousiana and use The Anderson's pre-emergent with NO nitrogen, and their post-emergent WITH nitrogen and that alone seems to be almost enough fertilzer. I put each down twice a year at absolute max rate in the spring, and middle rate in the fall, and have great results. Once or twice a year I add something else like a lower nitrogen granular, or spray a Greene County liquid fertilizer product (low nitrogen like Flora Greene, or Greene Effect) again at max rate.

    I have approximately 3500 ft.² of lawn to fertilize. A lot of these bags come with a coverage of 5000 ft.². I keep debating on how I should efficiently handle things. I’m thinking of buying two bags each of the 5000 square-foot products and split that out over three years. I would love some advice. Thank you so much for your time.

    The Sta-green fertilizer that Lowes sells works just as good for me as when I could buy the over priced Lesco stuff. Hey people,fescue WILL lighten up as the temps climb,it's the nature of the grass,not a lack of fertilizer. The only time I fertilize is in the fall when it starts to cool down. I try and hit it in late Sept and then hit it strong in Nov-Dec. Your yard will be green as can be when it wakes up in spring with zero need for fertilizer. IF you over seeded in the fall I would recommend a light spring fertilizing but otherwise not.
