I've commercialy cut for a decade. Our arborist was on point! He's exactly like you! He'll drag us into meetings before setting out, and he'll run through charts like these and explain it. I see people struggle with dirt science and lawn sciences. I know I do. I just cut really good, and leave it for the arborist to figure out. This makes me see the other side yet again of lawn care. From multi million dollar landscape companies, to solo. Now onto the arborist job. Huge credit to you sir. Very knowledgeable in this. I will be binge watching for awhile! Edit: would this fall into an arborist category? Or is this considered something different than an arborist?
Very happy you guys have your own channel, Matt is a wonderful spokesperson as he's easy to understand and keeps on point. Really makes it easy for a newbie to follow along and learn.
Great info Matt. Now I am in a bigger dilemma. I have high Phos and from your research and testing, bagging does show it can help lower my Phos. But the negative is that potash being reduced by bagging. Decisions decisions. 👊🌴😎
Great question here! In simple, if we round up to a 10 ppm K drop over the first 3 months of the study, we would be looking at needing to supplement about .2 lbs K20/1000 sq ft./ month of actively growing turf if removing clippings and .16 lbs P205/1000 sq ft./ month.
Im interested in your soil test on 4.5ph soil. My loam soil in Michigan is 4.6ph. How long and how much lime do you think youll need to do to ever get to a 6.5 ph. ??? (Ive done 50 pounds of dolmetic lime per 1,000sq. ft. TWICE, one month apart. I will retesr soil in spring)
Matt - Was brought to your channel thru Allyn Hane...In your podcast interview with him it seems like you guys are located in my neck of the woods in Eastern WA , which I later confirmed with the soil test I got from you guys. Do you have a website and do business here in town? If so I wouldn't mind reaching out to inquire about soil conditions and amendments specific to the WW area...Great job on the channel and best of luck!

Thank you. Yes, this does fall into an arborist category, but also with Soil Science, Plant Science, and Agronomy. Thanks for watching!
@@SoiLab that's amazing. I'll definitely look more into this. Sure does interest me
Great study, would have been nice if you showed a picture of both sides of the lawn. Does the lawn losing less P and K look a lot better ?
I was wondering that also.
This is what I came to say as well!

Much appreciated!
That’s a great topic you covered! Nicely done and very informative.

Thank you! Hopefully the information provided assists in the decision process. You'll have to let us know which way you decide to go.
So curious if you could equate the ppm drop to how that would impact how I should fertilize to make up for bagging vs mulching.

What about compacted soil or clay soil. Have you noticed a difference?
Matt this is all good information keep it coming...
Thank you! We plan on it!
How about showing soil profile pic so we can see organic matter / thatch difference
Mark, Thank you for the comment. We have this planned for our last video of the season to show profile cores of each side of the lawn.
Great update Matt thanks for all that useful info!
Thanks Jayme!

Really cool. Thanks for the update Matt. 👍🏻

Well that takes away my pride of economic and environment strategy.
BTW, I will still collect to get any seed heads, as necessary, or leaves etc...
These videos are awesome!!!
Thank you. There are more to come!
Incredible. Subscribed!
Awesome, thank you!
Would the type of grass (cool or warm season) and the soil PH make a difference with bagging or mulching?
This could certainly make a difference based on temperature and humidity as it relates to organic matter breakdown and nutrient recycling.
This is awesome! Thank you so much for this content please keep it coming!
Thank you! More to come!
Very cool research guys. Keep up the great work. :-)
Thanks Ron! We plan on it!
Stay safe im your new subscriber Godbless
Thanks for sub!
