    I want to encourage you to pray while you are mowing your lawn. Folks in certain areas of the country are really struggling. Get your prayer right...

      GCI Turf Services one of my favorite things to do when I’m mowing at the kids youth camp I volunteer at considering its 55 acres of mowing with lots of trees on a zero turn 61” SCAG Cheeta. Lots of time to think and as someone working at a hospital supporting the doctors and nurses it is VERY hard to unplug but I have to turn it over to God to make it through this.

    Therapeutic to watch this type of content!!! I've been working from home so I've had a ton of time to get in the yard. Been doing projects that have been delayed for way too long. And it's ironic that you address your Loriope in this video. I have Loriope but it's not variegated like yours. It doesn't look like yours spreads. The type I have is just dark green and it looks like it spreads [I found little shoots coming out in between the plants]. My question is, should I cut the plants down every year? I really didn't know I had to but seeing you do it, raises the question for me. Thank you sir!

Lol the crowns of my TTFT are turning yellow the grass looks green as can be but if I part it with my hand the crowns are yellow. Should I be worried or is this normal. I renovated in the fall and have been using it the bio stim pack. I also put down some carbon x 3 weeks ago,I am also mowing at 4”

I have a Hunter rotor sprinkler head I just installed and for some reason it rotates fine to the right, gets to the right stop and keeps moving, then when it gets to the left stop it is stuck and will not rotate back to the left. Brand new sprinkler and a fellow DIYer for sure. Any idea on what mayeb causing that?
