Nice information in there about how to keep that grass moist and healthy. So true about mixing your own products! Every time I come to your channel you’re growing exponentially, love it man, keep it up. 👍🏽
After watching the Grass Factor and his take on “liquid aeration “ it is a nice thing to see George calling the product a wetting agent and stating what it is doing to help water get in better. Thanks for the honesty! Subscribed.

Most people water their lawns way too often. Quick, frequent watering results in shallow roots, which means it needs to be watered more often. It's a vicious cycle. I give my grass a good soaking, then I don't water again till the grass looks dried out, but before it turns brown. Then I soak it again. This promotes deeper roots.
Another great video with useful information! I had MP Rotators on my last lawn and they were the bomb, not to mention my wife loved the dancing sprinkler look.
Great video, George! Perfect timing for us in New England, as we’re seeing lots of drought stress already. That Aeration + Yucca and Hydretain looks like a great 1-2 punch.
I might just brew up a batch of Aeration + Yucca next week... after the rain stops and the grass is mowed. Hydretain went down on Sunday, during a rain shower.

I don't have irrigation and made 3 of the DYI tripods over the winter and guess what I put on them? These exact hunter MP rotars.. I've been very pleased with them. I have 22,000 square foot and my PSI is only 62 so I can only run two at one time. I'm about to have another water spigot installed at the street so I can get the 90 PSI available at the street bypassing my pressure regulator, so hoping I can run three maybe four of these.. what I love about these tripods is you can put any sprinkler head on them to experiment. I used Shane Heath how to video for the tripod I built. I like the idea of putting wetting agent before the hydratain. Thanks George
MP rotators are great. We switched all our customers out to them from nozzles when they first came out. Had customers on town water who saved $ on bill and was able to keep grass green easier. Good video
The best advantage to MP Rotators is how they perform in windy conditions however the biggest disadvantage is the cost, at least 300% more. You should also mention the type of turf you are working with, I live in Florida and see a lot of people move here from up north and get very frustrated with dealing with our climate, bugs and diseases.
It's always a great day when George posts a new video😁 Great info! Eventually I will build an above ground system with MP rotators. This morning at 5:30 I went out to turn on my Orbit sprinkler and the gear that rotates it broke😂 maybe this is a sign to build the above ground system
I switched to MP800s last fall for overseeding. Once the heat came I thought I would have to water even longer in the 100°+ temps. I was wrong, I can still water just like spring because the water is actually is being absorbed properly. Using half the water compared to last year. Great investment.
Built 3 of these DYI sprinklers using the 22’-30’ blue MP rotators. Tbh I only needed two for coverage. Dialed in 1500sqft front and 1500sqft back. Tested with tuna cans and can lay down 1/2” in in 30 minutes with no waste. Looking forward to saving watering money that would normally be wasted with generic sprinklers. Btw, setting up the hoses is easy peasy once you know the set-locations. TY again
Hi I'm from Ireland and I've just subscribed!! We generally have no problems with rainfall here coupled with sun and heat you can generate a good lawn quality. The problem that I've had over the last few years has been moss growth and finding ways to curve it, it has been challenging to say the least. I have however through research come across a fertilizer that contains a bacteria (Bacillus subtilis ssl) that actually breaks down the moss and digests it saving you time scarifying and then I would recommend overseeding after that and if you had a bit of top dressing that would really finish it.
yes ,and look what he has become....a successful home owner with the best lawn on his block , making informative videos to help people .what have you become ? My money is nothing.
phys res: Why try destroying someone who is making a positive move after paying for his past, if what you say is true? Why? Has to do with you, I’m guessing, not him!
Hi. Just joined the other day. Love your videos. I love working in the yard and I just bought my house in January and they didn't take care of the yard. I'm getting it together but this TX heat doesn't help. But it's getting there. Thanks for the info. You should come to TX and do a video.
Huge tip told to me by an old Mexican landscaper - in the summer, water your grass at night - 7pm or so. I was stunned at how my grass responded to this versus my 530am watering which always left it challenged by the coming day's heat!
I agree a 100% on the MP rotators. I think the thing you should mention in another video is that they cannot run for 1015 minutes they need to run like a rotor you know 30,40 minutes. On a larger circumstance like an RV resort or apartment complex you have to find out if you have enough time in the day to run them.
Thanks for the review of the MP Sprinkler Heads. I'd like to build an above ground system with these units. What other components do you suggest; spike, body etc?
Bud I would suggest the rain bird system they have a quick connect system that can water over 5 thousand square foot ... each sprinkler can cost anywhere fro 35 to 50 bucks .. I just finished my whole yard a month ago amd it is amazing.. they are in the ground .. easy and cheap you can hook up your entire yard in less than a half day and do it by yourself
Hi George, greetings from Poland, Europe. I did irrigation system using the hunter MP rotators and it's great. Proud to have the premium product installed 😀👍 I can share the lawn photos if you like, quite hard spring/almost summer this year but it looks nice so far 😀
Just recently moved into a new home that I purchased and the sod was dead in several places on arrival -- seems the builders did not water it in the days prior to our closing date. I will add some new sod and try these tips to keep it fresh!
Good video I did my own irrigation last year with black poly pipe, 3 4 zone spigot timers . and a ton of mp rotators, one of their biggest benefits is their low water volume requirement, I was able to add more heads per zone. I need to try this hydretain stuff looks promising. Also I would use some kelp in your blend, its great for summer stress. Kelp4less is great, the mixes are affordable and they last a long time.
George, Mike again. I have a few questions about my renovation I'm gonna start on. I just bought and received my 2 GCI cool blue 45lb bags of seed. 1) if I really wanna put it on thick, should I exceed the 10lbs per 1000? 2) once I seed, should I do what I done the 1st time and cover it with topsoil again?
Very informative video George, thanks. Quick question, when is a good time to water your lawn? During the day while the sun is out or evening, big cooler conversation at work.
Early morning between 4-6am. During the day just evaporates water and is wasteful. Late afternoon is ok but don't go too late. When water sits at night on the grass, it's prone to start fungus and disease.
I use those MP Rotators on a 22 degree slope. The water output gets absorbed slowly into the soil to minimize runoff. California has huge water restrictions.
actually i just seeded it a few weeks ago! doesnt look pretty right now but its slowly filling in:) check out the video i made about it ua-cam.com/video/fgay0NwSUhY/v-deo.html
Great video. Another tip for watering is to water from the top of the grade to the lowest. Usually from closest to the house to the street. We will have over 1.5 inch of rain between today and tomorrow and then we climbing into the 90's. It's been a weird spring weather wise. I'll definitely will try that aeration + yuca. Would you say it's similar to aer8?
Thanks bud! that is an awesome tip! Thanks for sharing! Not sure about air8 but i like this one because it also contains 25 percent Potassium which is excellent for summer stress
Great stuff George! Quick question, what is the adaptor connecting your stake to the sprinkler? I recently got the valves, sprinklers stakes, but didn't realize there is an adaptor needed to connect the two. Thanks for your help!
What I found is that you can mix MP rotors with traditional sprinkles you get uneven watering. Also, some water companies give away the professional model MP Rotors.
Good video George, a little late for me to choose the mp rotators. Rainbird R-VANs were my sprinkler nozzle of choice. I think they have better dance moves 😅
This is a great video and I agree about the fertilizing but here in central California we had about 1/10 of the rain that we normally get so we are very highly restricted on how much we can water our lawns, and if we fertilize them. Depending on what we use it only fries them further I myself use ammonium sulfate but I'm a gardener so I try to be gentle with whatever fertilizer I use but this is the worst year I have ever seen almost every line I do has a brown spots dead spots dying lawns are so dry!!!! I just cannot believe how dry the soil is. I've never seen the soil this dry in the 30 years I've lived here. Every gardener every other Gardener I talk to well I am a gardener that's what I mean is they're afraid to fertilize once because it will fry them because we can't water them but on the Eastern side of the Rocky mountains I guess it's a different story in Texas it's raining so much that they're sick and tired of it here in California it is bone dry this entire state is about to turn to dust powder powder
Yo do you think you could show us a DIY install with this product? I'm trying to figure out how to do it but can't figure out how to span long distances or figure out how many heads I need. Your videos are awesome man! Thanks for the info!
Question for you after I put down fertilizer on the bag it doesn’t say you have to water the lawn after is this true ? I thought it would make more sense to water the grass after using the spreader
Hey, I had asked you a question last week about dallasgrass and you gave me a good answer. However, after further review I believe I just have a bunch of crabgrass. After I applied the tenacity, the weeds I thought were dallas are actually turning white. Plus, the seedlings are different. I'm 100% sure it's crabgrass. Now, I do have a few dallasgrass but way more crabgrass. OK, so my question is; when the crab turns white, do I dig it up or just let it die out by itself? Thanks
Once it turns white, it will not be able to produce chlorophyll and the risk of it seeding will be gone, don’t mess with it and it will be gone it a few mows
@@PrincessCutLawnCare thanks. That was my 1st time ever using the tenacity and with your videos it looks to be a success. Wish I could post pics for all too see
@@PrincessCutLawnCare sorry, 1 last question: I had just planted my new lawn. So it's not as thick as it will be. Since I have the crab grass dying, should I overseed now to fill in those spots left behind by the dead crabgrass? Or overseed in the fall?
Hi .... we're getting 4-5 days of crazy humid/dew point weather. Definitely fungus activity (North NJ, TTTF/KBG grass). What are the suggested cutting principles? I am usually at 3.5in and cut every 5 days. During fungus activity, continue cutting? Cut shorter? Collect clippings? Don't cut as often that opens up also foliage to fungus? Thanks. (P.S. I have been applying Propiconazole (2 apps so far in the last 30 days. Will be switching to other Fungicide group on my next app, but still minor fungus showing now on the lawn) ... also, is applying an organic fertilizer now like Milorganite would have a positive or negative effect? .......... currently my lawn is green, but as I brush the blades by hand, down in the soil level, I do see some decolorization, but overall, grass is green. thanks.
Hey Igor, good to see you again buddy, i would stay at the same height and cutting frequency your at now but just be diligent with your fungicide application, its normal to have minor fungus problems in these conditions. Sounds like you have a solid plan in place to switch up the fungicides , also i would deff apply some milo now as the warmer it gets the more the microbes in it are active so it can feed your lawn.
@@PrincessCutLawnCare George, what are your thoughts on spot treating instead of entire lawn apps. I'd say that about 10% of the lawn needs a "curative" rate.
I got the Rainbird version of these rotators, they are not very reliable. I have to pull them up to flush them all the time. I heard these Hunters were better because they flush each time they pop up, and have a slightly higher flow rate to help prevent the clogging that is an issue for this style of nozzle. I love the like and precipitation rate though. Gonna switch to Hunter MP as soon as time allows it.
Question for you I just put down fertilizer on my grass a couple of days ago and now I have yellow spots on my grass I can’t figure out why this would happen after applying lawn fertilizer to my grass any suggestions??
Any product that contains sodium lauryl sulfate will work as a great surfactant. Buy cheap baby shampoo or bubble bath from the dollar store and use in a hose-end sprayer. (I combine it with epsom salts, to green the grass).
@@tcap7917 You don't have to be too accurate. In an Ortho Dial N Spray, I use a cup of Epsom Salts, then fill to the top with hot water (to dissolve) and a little bubble bath. Shake well, then spray using the 2 ounce setting. If I want to soften the lawn (i.e. the ground), I'll fill the sprayer with neat bubble bath and apply that. Epsom Salts is so cheap, that I do the application about every two weeks and my lawn stays nice and green. I only do the bubble bath treatment when the ground is hard, to help prevent run-off. You'll get a big bottle of bubble bath (various fragrances!) at the Dollar Store. (Just be sure NOT to use anything that might be labeled as anti-bacterial).
I’ve been using MP Rotators for about a year now with a DIY sprinkler setup. Totally love these sprinklers. I’ve completely moved away from oscillating/impact sprinklers to these.
George, do you ever have to worry about your KBG creeping onto your neighbor's lawn? I am going for the golf course/ putting green front lawn but am undecided between KBG and rye. I am leaning towards rye because it doesn't 'creep' as KBG does. Thanks in advance bro!
No problem dude! no im not worried about that but i am worried about there grass creeping into mine!😂😂😂 Ill tell ya man the kbg is tough! it hurts my soul that i dont have a perfectly filled in lawn by now! If i had to do it all over again i would do a 50/50 mix of kbg and rye

Great video. Another tip for watering is to water from the top of the grade to the lowest. Usually from closest to the house to the street. We will have over 1.5 inch of rain between today and tomorrow and then we climbing into the 90's. It's been a weird spring weather wise. I'll definitely will try that aeration + yuca. Would you say it's similar to aer8?
Thanks bud! that is an awesome tip! Thanks for sharing!
Not sure about air8 but i like this one because it also contains 25 percent Potassium which is excellent for summer stress
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Thanks for sharing quality content with alternative products.
Great stuff George! Quick question, what is the adaptor connecting your stake to the sprinkler? I recently got the valves, sprinklers stakes, but didn't realize there is an adaptor needed to connect the two. Thanks for your help!
Thanks blake!

@@PrincessCutLawnCare thanks for the quick reply, just ordered!
Informational and good content!
Thanks brian!
Good information George thank you. Checking out the watering system the MP Rotator.
No problem Wayne, thanks for stopping by
Watching your videos my lawn has gone from embarrassment to pride!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome to hear dude! keep it up!
What I found is that you can mix MP rotors with traditional sprinkles you get uneven watering. Also, some water companies give away the professional model MP Rotors.
Good tips... hard in Canada to find some of the products but I like the thought and process...so dry right now the grass is screaming
Thanks, i know you guys got it hard up there! sorry:(
Well done brotha👊😎🌴
Thanks dude!
Cool topic and guest!
Thanks rus!
Awesome video as always! Any idea how far those will throw? I definitely have a problem with windage.
Thanks!
The 3000s will throw up to 30 feet!
As with almost any spray on product, wait until it’s not windy:)
@@jimshorts5970 mps do great in the wind!
@@PrincessCutLawnCare What’s “mps”?
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Oh you’re talking about the sprinkler. Thought he was asking about the spray applicator.
I dont have a sprayer but liquid aeration is intriguing.
It’s a great tool to help w watering!
Good information. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching:)
Good video George, a little late for me to choose the mp rotators. Rainbird R-VANs were my sprinkler nozzle of choice. I think they have better dance moves 😅
the rainbirds are a solid choice as well!
That hydretain pulls moisture out of the air like my mother in law pulling 20’s out of my wallet
Lol stop playin!
must be able to pull the water from nitrogen, and somehow take the water from that element cool stuff 👍👍
Ol Johnny Sins in the sprinkler business as well 😂😂
Thanks guys thanks keven great stuff
No problem, appreciate you stoppin by!
This is a great video and I agree about the fertilizing but here in central California we had about 1/10 of the rain that we normally get so we are very highly restricted on how much we can water our lawns, and if we fertilize them. Depending on what we use it only fries them further I myself use ammonium sulfate but I'm a gardener so I try to be gentle with whatever fertilizer I use but this is the worst year I have ever seen almost every line I do has a brown spots dead spots dying lawns are so dry!!!! I just cannot believe how dry the soil is. I've never seen the soil this dry in the 30 years I've lived here. Every gardener every other Gardener I talk to well I am a gardener that's what I mean is they're afraid to fertilize once because it will fry them because we can't water them but on the Eastern side of the Rocky mountains I guess it's a different story in Texas it's raining so much that they're sick and tired of it here in California it is bone dry this entire state is about to turn to dust powder powder
Used the MP's last year for overseeding and can connect a few of them in a line.
Yo do you think you could show us a DIY install with this product? I'm trying to figure out how to do it but can't figure out how to span long distances or figure out how many heads I need. Your videos are awesome man! Thanks for the info!
Funny you mentioned that! We are in the process of doing a video on the new diy solution!
Stay tuned!
Appreciate the support
I really enjoy these videos. I wish I could use all these fancy chemicals and stuff but my front yard is 1.5 acres and I'll go broke.
Thanks 🙏
No worries! they are just luxuries that will give you minor improvements.
Question for you after I put down fertilizer on the bag it doesn’t say you have to water the lawn after is this true ? I thought it would make more sense to water the grass after using the spreader
It’s always good to water it in bit
Hey, I had asked you a question last week about dallasgrass and you gave me a good answer. However, after further review I believe I just have a bunch of crabgrass. After I applied the tenacity, the weeds I thought were dallas are actually turning white. Plus, the seedlings are different. I'm 100% sure it's crabgrass. Now, I do have a few dallasgrass but way more crabgrass. OK, so my question is; when the crab turns white, do I dig it up or just let it die out by itself? Thanks
Once it turns white, it will not be able to produce chlorophyll and the risk of it seeding will be gone, don’t mess with it and it will be gone it a few mows
@@PrincessCutLawnCare thanks. That was my 1st time ever using the tenacity and with your videos it looks to be a success. Wish I could post pics for all too see
@@PrincessCutLawnCare sorry, 1 last question: I had just planted my new lawn. So it's not as thick as it will be. Since I have the crab grass dying, should I overseed now to fill in those spots left behind by the dead crabgrass? Or overseed in the fall?
Hi .... we're getting 4-5 days of crazy humid/dew point weather. Definitely fungus activity (North NJ, TTTF/KBG grass). What are the suggested cutting principles? I am usually at 3.5in and cut every 5 days. During fungus activity, continue cutting? Cut shorter? Collect clippings? Don't cut as often that opens up also foliage to fungus? Thanks. (P.S. I have been applying Propiconazole (2 apps so far in the last 30 days. Will be switching to other Fungicide group on my next app, but still minor fungus showing now on the lawn) ... also, is applying an organic fertilizer now like Milorganite would have a positive or negative effect? .......... currently my lawn is green, but as I brush the blades by hand, down in the soil level, I do see some decolorization, but overall, grass is green. thanks.
Hey Igor, good to see you again buddy, i would stay at the same height and cutting frequency your at now but just be diligent with your fungicide application, its normal to have minor fungus problems in these conditions. Sounds like you have a solid plan in place to switch up the fungicides , also i would deff apply some milo now as the warmer it gets the more the microbes in it are active so it can feed your lawn.
@@PrincessCutLawnCare George, what are your thoughts on spot treating instead of entire lawn apps. I'd say that about 10% of the lawn needs a "curative" rate.
got a link to the drill setup used to agitate mixture in your sprayer?
Sure! here you go amzn.to/3x2U1RI
@@PrincessCutLawnCare perfect i actually ordered the 5 gallon one last night so glad to hear I ordered the correct brand. Keep up the great work.
MP head are awesome! But they clog and hang up after a while lot depending on your water mineral content.
Clearly he’s a salesman...and now I want to buy it lol
They are game changers!
I had the same feeling .. LOL
Me too 😭
This system works great, I have installed it in my lawn and I'm really glad. Greetings from far-away land: Poland, Europe 😄
I have the MP nozzles front and back yard. Best ones ever. Easy to adjust as well.
I got the Rainbird version of these rotators, they are not very reliable. I have to pull them up to flush them all the time. I heard these Hunters were better because they flush each time they pop up, and have a slightly higher flow rate to help prevent the clogging that is an issue for this style of nozzle. I love the like and precipitation rate though. Gonna switch to Hunter MP as soon as time allows it.
Awesome, you’ll be happy with the mp’s , no headaches!
You can see them flush each time, it’s pretty satisfying to watch:)
Question for you I just put down fertilizer on my grass a couple of days ago and now I have yellow spots on my grass I can’t figure out why this would happen after applying lawn fertilizer to my grass any suggestions??
Nice video!
Thanks for the visit
I’ve been jonesing for a Princess Cut Lawn video!
Today is our lucky day!
Glad to deliver 😊
Keep up the great work! Have you done videos on fungicides?
@@3WolfMoon funny you mentioned that! It’s in the works:)
I have three products which one should I apply first tenacity hydretain and aerating kelp?
Do you need a Hunter sprinkler to apply the Hunter rotator?
No, it is a universal thread
Any product that contains sodium lauryl sulfate will work as a great surfactant. Buy cheap baby shampoo or bubble bath from the dollar store and use in a hose-end sprayer. (I combine it with epsom salts, to green the grass).
Totally dude, I like using this product mainly because it also contains 25% K
What receipe (ratio) would you use for this ?
@@tcap7917 You don't have to be too accurate. In an Ortho Dial N Spray, I use a cup of Epsom Salts, then fill to the top with hot water (to dissolve) and a little bubble bath. Shake well, then spray using the 2 ounce setting. If I want to soften the lawn (i.e. the ground), I'll fill the sprayer with neat bubble bath and apply that. Epsom Salts is so cheap, that I do the application about every two weeks and my lawn stays nice and green. I only do the bubble bath treatment when the ground is hard, to help prevent run-off. You'll get a big bottle of bubble bath (various fragrances!) at the Dollar Store. (Just be sure NOT to use anything that might be labeled as anti-bacterial).
I’ve been using MP Rotators for about a year now with a DIY sprinkler setup. Totally love these sprinklers. I’ve completely moved away from oscillating/impact sprinklers to these.
They are definitely game changers!
George, do you ever have to worry about your KBG creeping onto your neighbor's lawn? I am going for the golf course/ putting green front lawn but am undecided between KBG and rye. I am leaning towards rye because it doesn't 'creep' as KBG does. Thanks in advance bro!
No problem dude! no im not worried about that but i am worried about there grass creeping into mine!😂😂😂
Ill tell ya man the kbg is tough! it hurts my soul that i dont have a perfectly filled in lawn by now!
If i had to do it all over again i would do a 50/50 mix of kbg and rye
I wish that Kevin would have shown how to change the spray from 210° to 90°. I've been running MP nozzles for 2 years and haven't figured it out yet.
Do you have the orange adjustment tool?
Great content George. I noticed a little Ron Henry in there.
thanks! ron came thru with the crispy broll!
This has wet my appetite for new irrigation
