    You should get a tech/non-cotton shirt for outside. Wearing cotton is like wearing a towel - get a shirt that wicks the sweat away from you. From a fellow Georgian!

    Hey Doc. You talked about filming in this video. It reminded me of a video you did years ago of all of the equipment and editing programs you used. As tech changes, I’m sure you’re equipment has too. Would love a video of the latest you are using

    Doc, you have railroad ties there. Make a ramp for your UTV… that’s what we do. Roll out a mat so if you do spill anything, it’s an easy clean up and it’s not in the dirt

    I have a problem with cats on my yard and mosquitoes. so I'm trying to plant a small row of lavender since it acts as a repellent for both, as a natural solution two my two biggest pests. (seems to work as long as the lavender don't die on me... I'm still finding my watering balance on those lol)
    I think you might like t try to put some garlic or geraniums near your orchard. those are two that I remember that keep Japanese beetles away. there are others but none that I remember of the top of my head right now.

  • @doncline6372
    @doncline6372 Рік тому +2

    My experience has been beetle bags draw in Japanese beetles. I use Bayer Advances Tree & Shrub. It systematically wipes out Japanese beetles and other chewing/sucking insects for vow months! Sure has saved me from spraying plus it does not harm the beneficial insects.

    • @HowTowithDoc
      @HowTowithDoc  Рік тому

      If your trees and flowers are cover with beetles... do both. If they are already coming in... I don't believe they draw MORE. There is no documented evidence of them drawing "more".

    Can I use the DuMor Layer Crumble Poultry Feed you mentioned in a previous video as an inexpensive way to help feed my soil along with PGF Complete and SuperJuice? I'm also killing the weeds so my Bermuda grass will grow. Just starting treatments on an ignored lawn that is almost all weeds. Trying to do what I can afford to do right now. Thanks! (live just outside Memphis TN so it's HOT here too)

    Hey Doc. In Central Texas here. Running on 100f here 21 days and counting. Watering my Bermuda Lawn 3 days a week. Morning and afternoon. Ground is cracking in places. I haven’t aerated yet. Spurge and nut grass is present now. Can I kill it now or should I wait till it cools down some. My lawn looks great in 90% of the lawn. But 10% is struggling. Any suggestions?

    • @HowTowithDoc
      @HowTowithDoc  Рік тому

      Try spot treating with a Bermuda safe killer. Keep it mild and only treat the weed areas.

    Great video doc. I recently got rid of my lawn guy who was keeping my Bermuda at a little over 3+ inches tall. Cutting it myself is going great. I want to slowly bring it down to 1.5 inches. Any advice on how slowly and in what intervals to bring it down to the desired height? I’m in NE Georgia.
