Big thumbs up for the "Circle Dance." We all do it!
Now its public! Everyone will know what we're doing while we're out there dancing!
OMG... me too! Everytime!
I never knew what it was called, all I knew was it had to be done to complete the task at hand! 🖐🏼😁
Haha I do it!
LOL, this is awesome. Circle Dance Crew!
I spilled fert at 23% nitrogen non-organic in a spot because my spreader malfunctioned and it burned the shit and kill it that spot in 3 days it was dirt spot I was stunned since we don't have milo in Wyoming yet unless I special order which I did not have the time to do I will order for the forth never using non organic again this is the first year of lawn practice since we relandscaped next early spring I'm putting down weed and feed and all organic fert your yard is good I'm dominating my neighborhood thanks to your informational videos
What part of WY you live at? What spreader did malfunction? I am about to fertilize my new lawn. I am in Cheyenne
Just used the information I learned from you and correctly weighed and spread for my first time ever with little to nothing left in the hopper. Thank you for being the best source of lawn care I can find with saint Augustine.
This guy cooks up videos that are accurate , honest , informative and very entertaining. Why HGTV or some other cable show hasn't hired him is beyond me. Your the " Iron Chef" of lawn care Mr. Hane so , Rock on sir, Rock on !
I don't do well with math, so when I followed these steps I was amazed to find that my math was (virtually) perfect. With my 8,066 sq ft yard (give or take 10') I was left with just a few lbs of fert from a 40lbs bag (treats 10,000 sq ft).
This is my first attempt at restoring my lawn so I'll be watching more vids as I progress, so wish me luck.
Great video. I'm new to all this taken care of the yard stuff, my neighbor across the street is dominating my yard with his. So I went and bought some kind of grass grow stuff and I don't have a spreader thing, well I just did it by hand like throwing bird seed and man wow does my grass look like shit now. Trying to learn so I can get my yard looking better but take it from me guys, DON'T spread fertilizer by hand lol.
I am a new sub, and boy I am glad I found you. Thank you so much for sharing your expert knowledge. I recently lost my job, so we are going to have to halt our lawn service for a while. In years past I didn't have the motivation to arm myself with solid lawn care skills. So it was easy to let someone else do it for me. I like my St Augustine lawn. And you are a very valuable source of information on how to "dominate" in my own hood. Thanks!
Wasn't too long and I wasn't bored! I like the 15-20 minute vids, I seem to digest the info a little better. I do the circle dance with the double fast walk Lol. I missed the pre emergent window and bought some Spectracide weed control and can't get it down with rain every other day GRRRR! Dandelions are crazy this year
yeah we are in the middle of dandelion bloom for the mid-section of the country big time!
LCN, first, thanks for all the great tips and videos! Started watching your stuff and it greatly helped early spring up here in Michigan to get the lawn bad into shape. First year throwing down Milorganite with granulated lime, Scott's fertilizer for the weed & feed and it starting to show results. Started working the lawn late March and hopefully we'll dominate the neighborhood... thanks, enjoying your vids.
That's awesome! I love the domination line and the circle dance. Going to have to adopt the domination line!
St. Augustinegrass performs best when fertilized with 2 to 4 pounds of nitrogen (N) per 1,000 square feet per year depending on location, health of lawn, soil type, and many other factors. In spring, apply ½ to 1 pound of N per 1,000 square feet several weeks after the last expected frost. I recommend to submitting a soil sample to determine nutrient and or lime requirements. Keep up the great work buddy :-)
As a new homeowner, you are VERY helpful. Confusing as well :-D Seriously, thats why I subscribed to you early last year when I lived in NYC. You give some good assed advice!
"Heck no. I'm going to throw her down on the Domination Line boys." LOL, too awesome!
great stuff as always. No one has covered how to weigh your fertilizer that I could find, so good to see you go over that part. Seems obvious but it helps!
WOW... I just realized that im 32 years old and im subscribing to lawn care nut videos....
Thank you Lawn Care Nut my lawn bounce back after using the fertilizer need a little bit more help on spots that not come in
I only used Bonus S once on my St Augustine. It controlled bull thistles, but it caused my St Augustine to turn yellowish. It stressed the heck out of it so now i pull weeds by hand. 😎
Excellent video, bud. Thank you for putting it together with another cool soundtrack.
thanks!
Is it bad I have been waiting all week for this??
Matthew Green me too! I also want a house tour lol
Matthew Green
Try all winter.
Matthew Green alongside with the playoffs? no lol I been waiting too
Yes. Yes, it is.
Haha yes the circle dance! Every time! I have been using a drop spreader for a while since I got it for $4 or something at goodwill a few years ago. A bit tricky to get an even app down each time and it takes a lot of practice. Probably keep it for doing trim and borders and pick up a cheap broadcast spreader for the rest of the lawn. Drop spreaders take so much time.
you would like a broadcast for sure!
Good video, your right I do the circle dance all the time.... lol
Lol. I thought I was the only one that did the circle dance. Big thumbs up!!!!
it's definitely a thing :)
Alan how often do you put down the Milo, I'm really struggling to get my grass where I want it. We moved into our new home 6 months ago and the landscapers did a terrible job with the sod. We have clay soil and they did no soil preparation. anyway love the channel I learn stuff from you everyday
So that's what its called, the "circle dance". I also do it every time! Love your yard!
Bonus S was the first fertilizer I ever used. Loved the quick green up( micro granular). Did not like the longevity of it though. You are backing it up with Milwaukee-ite though so that will kick in when the scotts fails. Since I have worked my way up the fertilizer chain my favorite is now Lesco 24-0-11(80% SRN) backed up with some Bio-solids (6-3-0). Stays green the whole summer with one application. About 3 months after this application I put down Moisture Manager to hold onto what nature gives us plus some K-Flow(0-0-25). Micronutrients every 2 months the whole year round. Never thought about doing a lawn dance. If I have any left over, I set my spreader to a lower number and lightly go over the front till I am out. I have done some funny cuts though. I cut the whole lawn and then lowered my deck 2 inches and cut every other row in both directions(checkerboard). Leaves you with raised cubes
hey bro i work for alldredge gardens in midland tx, i apply herbicides and fertilizer and at my boss's house i use revive, texas compost, and soil activator all micro nutrients that will help balance out water ph and its mostly organic
I love your channel, subscribed a while nack. Buttttttt I think now you are understanding that Southern lawns are harder to maintain then Northern. Keep up the good work. South Texas out.
been following you since 2014 and I can honestly state that I definitely do the circle dance! Throw Er Down!
"Straight domination line..." - love it
I put down essentially the same thing last weekend (finally no more snow!) and ended with the "circle dance!"
80 degrees in Chicago! Watching this in my lawn chair! #Priorities
Brian Sierzega
Same here in lower eastern Michigan. Crazy stuff. Happy Easter
Allen stop worrying about the stupid people that keep complaining about some of your videos. I found your channel because I needed tips and tricks and I stayed because I am a nut like you, and I love all of the content.
Thanks to this channel I don't believe I will be able to move tomorrow. It's Easter, 45,000 sq ft, 18 bags of milo, my phone said 18,878 steps completed.
sounds like a party
Always did the "Circle Dance" but didn't know the name. Awesome.
Literally I do the EXACT same circle dance. That's halarious. Keep up the good content man look forward to the next one.
I think I'm going to have to give this a shot. I was paying a local company to fertilize, but while the weeds are mostly gone, the grass isn't as green as I expected. time to "throw er' down."
Your videos are amazing! My awesome lawn care company decided I needed "green" and "yellow" strips in my yard.
So your videos I am firing them and taking control of my lawn to dominate my neighbors!
haha please video tape when the spray company tries to pitch you their services!
Those Individuals are always "inspecting" my lawn and recommending a 6 step program Plus killing fungus plus killing all the bugs. 8 aps.
lol YES!
LCN AND LGR. My two favorites on the UA-cams.
Scotts Bonus S use to work fine. This year, it did nothing to the dollar weeds. I applied the the same way as every other year.
Great. All these years, and I've been fertilizing wrong. Thanks for the info.
ah man I check my youtube everyday in hopes to watch another great video. you rock mate. keep it going all the way from New Zealand
Thanks for the great instructions, I just did my lawn.
Haha! I did the circle dance earlier today throwing down some Ringer
Great video Alan
Definitely looking forward to ongoing weeks of treatment to learn more do and don't Lawn Tactics...
LCN...love your videos and tips! I'm in Houston TX. Had grubs kill spots in my lawn and had to SOD! Kinda drying out but coming back after watering a lot! Keep the videos coming!
Frosty⛄️
i know i was subscribed and i just had to click to resubscribe i just bought my first house after living in apartments my whole life and learning from basics
Great vid. Always learning something. Ive done the dance and threw er down last wknd. Very funny. Keep em coming.
Man you really get into lawn fertilizer..good vid
I have a drop spreader but I too do the circle dance . Next time I do it I'm going to think of you 👨🏽💻
Domination line!!! Circle dance, so funny we all do it😃🤓
This was a big help in learning to improve my lawn
"Putting some ass to IT" "look at me can you see me putting some ass in that walk" OMFG I ALMOST DIED 😂😂😂😂😂
great vid as always. nice LCN over the stop sign.
lmao at the end..the circle dance..I do it all the time!
The new place looks great LCN. Thanks for the content , keep er coming !
Alan out dominating as per usual
I can not tell a lie,yes I do the circle dance too,you got me,thanks again for the video,what a nut!!
The circle dance. omg allen i love your videos. im going dancing with my wife tonight. im going to bust out the circle dance out of nowhere...... only LCN's will understand... i would love to know how to get a LCN sticker?
HAHAHA!!! "Circle Dance" Now I know what it's called. I was just doing that today!!!!!
i Have to say you have the best content as far as any channel goes on youtube always look forward to your videos, i have to bulldoze my lawn this summer so i wont be able to dominate untill nxt year :-(
everyone has to start somewhere! be sure to document the process to make it more enjoyable!
LCN, thanks for all the videos! Been following you for about a month and since then, added sprinklers, followed you steps and started with some weed & feed (not the best, I know) so that I can lay something down for weeds and then 3 weeks later I threw down some milorganite, a bit of lime, top soil and seeded this past weekend... Hoping all comes in as planned.
QUESTION: I am noticing some bugs (ticks and grubs) and some scary looking spiders... I ended up getting the Bayer insecticide concentrate and wanted to know when would be a safe time to spray the newly seeded yard with this stuff?
Would be cool to see a vid on this!
Thanks for the many vids and tips!!!
“Circle dance” I’m laughing hysterically right now! Well played :) I do the same thing!!!!! Ha!
Nice of the city to replace that stop sign for you
nice job man, awesome video! Your editing skills are getting beastly!
Yep. Did the circle dance a couple of weeks ago when throwing down some starter fert.
instead of Tiny Dancers, we are Circle Dancers
Man, I saw this reply and Tiny Dancer wouldn't come to mind. Instead, I kept hearing Rocketman and had to correct it by pulling up the video for Tiny Dancer.
Nice Dance Al!!! Good video!! Hope you have a great holiday weekend.
Yep always do the dance. Thanks for the video. I always learn something.
As soon as I saw the Scott's, I was like WTF, Hayne sold out to the man! Then without fail, the flashing "NOT sponsored by Scotts!" Love it, great video!
sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do and that product was what I needed for sure.
You busted me on the Circle Dance! Thrower Down.
Great Video, yes I do that dance too. Reaching out from the midwest. Bluegrass sod laid last year, bad advise from irrigation company and have some kill from rust. This spring I overseeded and just put down 32-0-8 Lesco fert with Lesco Spread.... Okay to put down some Milo and how much/setting for 14000 square feet? Keep up the great work!
I wish I wasn't sitting in a coffee shop when you did the circle Dance that we all do. I busted out laughing and got some looks lol
ha ha nice!
After the circle dance comes the rain dance!
Ha! I def circle dance! Just bought me some milo and starter fert today!!!
Great video! Gotta say, little shocked to see you using Weed & Feed, but there are times where I find it acceptable, and that's when you have a large property and lots of weeds.
Did my circle dance this morning. Throw'r Down!
Great video for you Southerners, but what about the Midwest folks? Can't find some of the crabgrass control or fertilizer that you recommend around here. Thinking of using Fertilome crabgrass control with fertilizer, then using weed control mix to kill all remaining weeds in my yard. Hopefully this is LCN approved
this video was all about "how to" not really "what to" so it should appeal to everyone. Laying fert on the lawn is the same and knowing how to calculate fert rates is a skill that should be practiced.
nice placement of the lcn logo on the stop sign! hahaha
spectacular as always my friend!
Very familiar with the circle dance.
Thanks for the gator update!
Couldn't stop laughing. I totally do the circle dance. Awesome video keep it up!
Totally guilty of the Milo circle dance, almost Exactly!🕺🏼🏡
Hey, just wondering why you haven't made some lines inside your fert hopper. Weigh and load 2 pounds or 5 pounds etc. and make yourself a mark where it sits. That would help you even further with keeping your application rate correct. i'll need a broadcast spreader later this year when I move and think i'll try this out.
Love the LCN sign hanging during the fert drop - but perhaps you SHOULD spring for a display easel ?
good idea!
Glad to know I'm not alone in doing the circle dance. Lol.
Thanks for posting Allyn!
one of your best videos! nicely done, champ!
thanks Bruh
glad to see you threw milo down to (iron) but that bonus s is good stuff used it on my old house lawn. it will smoke the bermuda
ha! I'm guilty of the circle dance. lmao when you called me out!
Can't wait to see the results!
Get in get on get out get off…not the first time I've heard that
mrmatalino What anout " Domination"?
Thanks for the centipede advice!
The circle dance!!! Lmao!! I do the same with my earthway. Great Vid as usual!!
Hey the video was good as always, look forward to the next video.
Hey LCN big fan here. Two items of advice. Don't make me look at Cenk. But more importantly, don't apologize for explaining things. I came here to learn. Entertainment is fine, but for me the learning is the draw.
I don't like Cenk either.
My 10 year old who just started cutting the lawn this year quoted you! I asked what are we going to get done this weekend? His response.... "Seed is cheap. Throw 'er down!"
Thanks for your hard work and tips
Nice Stop sign at 9:30 (LCN sign).
I totally do the circle dance with my Earthway! Just didn't know what it was called.
The More You Know!
