Doc explains why cutting the grass lawn short in the spring is actually good. The weather is generally nice and rains are usually plentiful. This is the time when the lawn is not stressed and can be cut very short. If seeding, this allows the new seeds to get the sunlight they need.
So glad I found you! Bought a home near Greenville SC with a Bermuda lawn - my first Bermuda - and discovered about mid-March the previous owner had done nothing but cut the grass for the past five years. Weeds everywhere! With all the rain and up-down temps, my best bet has been to just dig the weeds out! I’m just now to a point where I can begin following your expertise. Looking forward to it!
Shout out Greenville
Also just moved to Greenville, SC. I'm coming from a St Augustine lawn to a zoysia/bermuda mix.
Hey Doc I'm surprised ventrac has not contacted you and tried to collaborate with you I mean your piece of property kind of covers everything except snow removal equipment from rough cut to high cut the low cut to straighten out your driveway I'm just saying it seems like a match made in heaven
DOC I can't believe you unloaded that nice mower on the gravel.
We have to drag it across the gravel to get to the lawn.
PGF Complete arrived today!
Man… to be able to catch nice bass like that in my front yard…
Once summer hits. Temps are 90 and above what height do you cut the grass. I have two active German Shepherd’s in the back yard. What height do you recommend cutting it.
Nice Bass!
not in Florida we only get 1 inch per month until May 20th, I tell people don't cut out the green cause it ain't coming back
Great vid. How much time in between cutting again after seeding?
Really doesn't matter with a reel mower, it has no suction. Most seed won't be bothered much by mowing but new young grass hates SHADE
New subscribers love the videos
Hey Doc, what do you recommend to kill off poa when the Bermuda is already green’d up for the season?
Is it warm enough already to be seeding Bermuda?
Not really... needs to be hitting the 80s
Any update on release date of DGL?
Any day I hope... I need it.
"Mow every other day"
Maybe this channel isn't for me. Lol
Enjoyed the extra bass catch while learning about my grass
Doc I been using Anderson for 2 years it's great stuff my lawn looks great but there prices are getting very expensive I am thinking of using something else cheaper
My gravel went from $580 a load... to $720 a load in one year. Welcome to the new world.
BIDENOMICS
Wish there was a Centipede Lawn God “Guide”! Lol jk
My shortness is 2.25 inches
0:40 when you realized you messed up your new mower haha
Nah
cardboard is hard on a mower to slide on
I was thinking, should I fertilize the bald areas first? I am thinking my grass is going to reach out for food. Then fertilize the whole yard 2 weeks later.
Small amount is fine.
I burn my Bermuda each spring. I burned it last Thursday and a week later and it’s already greening back up. This allows me to start the season of really short. The sections I don’t burn, I drop the mower and scalp it.
I cut my grass short till it starts getting hot then I let it grow taller still cut it once a week keep it from burning. Thanks for the video Doc !! What was that bass about a five pounder.?
Grass is looking strong already 💪
Does this apply in WI too in spring after the snow melts?
How often are you getting new McLane mowers?
First new one in 3 years was the low cut LC model.
Doc I am in SC and starting a lawn from scratch which Bermuda grass seed do you recommend I was thinking Yukon or blackjack2
Stupid cud weed keeps taking over for me, my Bermuda isn’t coming up
Love your shows. We moved from California to Alabama last Summer and have absolutely benefited from your advice. Your home is a paradise and it is an obvious example of your knowledge.
Thank you.
Good move
Love the videos. This one’s a little to scattered and back and forth for me.
That real mower sounds amazing! I wish the winner a thousand magnificent mows!! (Or more!) 😂
Doc-ready to do my split PE but the liquid is crazy expensive (175.00), so can I just utilize the granules again to complete the split process Ali g with my PG complete?
Ya... it lasts a long time but the bottle is expensive. Might just skip it rather than a second round.
Tik tok channel is you or another dude exploiting your videos ?
Fake account... report it like we have.
Hi Doc, Any idea when Amazon will have Dirt Booster back in stock? Thanks, Tom
The run should happen this week so maybe two weeks
Cutting grass short is why I murdered my St Aug, I could go 2 in in the spring tho
Yes... St Aug is a different beast.
Doc or anyone, how do I get 2 cuts in per week with a 1 year old and one month old in the house. 😂
Seriously, any tips are appreciated
I’m more impressed with the nice bass!
Just bought a Toro Titan 60 with my ride. Have not cut with it yet. How do you like yours? I have a flat 3 acres of 5 way rye plus fields.
Love it
I can’t remember what is Doc’s stance on dethatching and scarifying
Cut st. Augustine grass short also in the spring?? But st. Augustine is more a vine on top of the soil....
That is some fish.
Doc: Why you should get your grass short on Spring.
Me still with low 50s and non-stop rain for the past 3 days:
Love your videos. You have a beautiful property. Enjoy the day and god bless.
I have poa trivialis so I cut it high but a losing battle.
Nice bass! Really enjoy your videos Doc. Really admire how you’re living on that nice spread.
Doc what happened to your tru cuts and Mclanes from your older videos
Explained in an upcoming video.
@@HowTowithDoc 10-4
Jeez that mclane is nice. We can no longer get gas mowers shipped to CA anymore.
Sad I have a gas toro lawn mower at my kowes 🤣
It will be fun to watch the new regs over the next few years.
Hey Doc! How much land is that, that I see on camera? You are in absolute mower HEAVEN!!! OH!, Is that your own pond???
40 acres total
nice bass doc 👍
Should I wait on spreading Duo-Cide for the first time of the year?
When temps are steady in the 70's that's when I would apply
Doc, is it just me or does that new McLain bear a strong resemblance to a TruCut? Have they finally changed the way that you make your reel to bed knife adjustments with those two large screws on top of the reel?
No.. it's the same Greens Keeper model with a few improvements
So Doc, a guy on youtube said there is nothing you can do to get your lawn to green up quicker in the spring than anyone elses lawn. What do you say Doc?
Nitrogen... DGL we proved with the test stripes.
@@HowTowithDoc tbh. You have proven to me its possible over the years. I just don't understand why people can't see that. Enjoy your videos.
post front spinnerbait bass. A fun way to catch em Doc!
I need to check for blue berries tomorrow.
Hey Doc, have you tracked the relative weight of your bass yet?
No, we just keep the pond healthy. We have a good mix from 1lb to 8 lb
@@HowTowithDoc you'd be surprised what you find out about the true health of your bass by tracking relative weight. @aquaticbiologist6516 has been helping my bass (north ATL). Im sure you could benefit from his page
What is your hand held spreader setting? I think you said it was a 2 in a previous video.
Bermuda is on #1
Doc knows how to go through the gasoline!! How much gas do you go through in a week?!?!? That zero turn is a beast!
Not much really for a 40 acre property. Maybe a 10 gallons. We keep 50+ on hand.
That is an amazing piece of land.
question my lawn mower only goes down to .5" I've been cutting it at .5" should i go up to 1" or just leave it at .5"
Thanks Doc!
Where should I buy zoysia seed? I checked your link on your website and it brought me to Amazon and they are not carrying it. Any other suggestions?
Doc… can I use any of your tips for centipede lawns in NW Florida… which products work with centipede
Do you have a release date for DGL?
Any day
What's best fire ant killer
Try Ortho's Orthene when they are active and granular like Andro on/around mounds. Spectrum also makes a granular that work well. Doesn't take much and the Orthene smells worse than rotten eggs but works great!
Nice largemouth bud!
Thanks
thanks for describing the reel mowers. I discovered why mine would not stop when I let go; the spring had disconnected. Now I am a happy reel mower operator!
Is this true cut short for cold season grasses too?
If the oil is dirty a Honda won't start.
Doc, you need a vacation.
The new Toro’s seem slick 👍👍
No farms no food. Spread the word. Theyre actively trying to shut down small farms
If you want more weeds cut it short
didn't you seed that hill to the pond w/ common bermuda?? interested to see how the la prima and common mix will look. I bet it still turns out really good.
What's up with the battery powered lawn mowers Doc? Really
We have one EGO and it's on it's last leg.
