- Should I Apply Lawn Fertilizer In The Summer?
If your lawn is under drought stress or heat stress please DO NOT fertilize it...spend that time and money in water. If your lawn is fine and you have not fed it lately then this is a great low nitrogen option for the summer.

Any update on the yard across the street from that you are treating with Doc's superjuice?
I would really like to know why someone would dislike this video? Pete is the man!
It's the same 4-5 dudes every time...LOL
Totally agree. Pete is the man.
@@d27mcccarty Pete radiates positive energy. Amazing human being I give so much gratitude!
Pete is indeed the man. Could it be because the department of homeland security has invaded the cities of this nation in full camo and guns creating problems at the hand of Trump? That might be it. As Pete said the police are supposed to take care of domestic issues and Homeland defends against outside threats.
Got to say Pete my yard and the others you do look the best they have ever!! True testament about your service. Greatly appreciate you and your guys hard work and service! God bless!
Macy Landscaping I appreciate you friend
I subscribed within the first minute and 16 seconds of your video! Awesome, brother!
I apply fertilizer four times a year, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day and Halloween. I live in Wisconsin.
#ThrowErrrDown!
What fertilizer do you throwdown, i also live in Wisconsin?
@@iloveburritos8802 Depends on your soil test results. Because I discovered at have a high pH I am going to use 21-0-0 ammonium sulfate. Before I was using Andersons 44-0-0 HCU.
Man, that looks like a great spoon feed option mid summer on irrigated yards. Move round 3 to earlier May app of pasture fert, then End of July soil alive to green things up until overseed. I am consistently impressed with Hyr-Brix in the yard and garden. Best fertilizer I have ever used.
agreed bro
thinking same thing
I only apply twice a year. I apply Memorial day weekend and when the grass stops growing in the fall.
There is a guy in the neghborhood who waters his lawn most at night. Which is supposed to be a big no no. But It maintains very green. The rest of us who water during the day have crispy brown grass. Can you explain why that may be??
Pete your awesome your channel is just packed with knowledge and understanding I appreciate the time you put in to making this channel a success. I've got a question how's that "super juice" test plot coming along??
That Kentucky blue grass has such a good color!! Looking good
well was about to order that new arsenal aka...soil alive..then forecast changed rain 5 days then low 80s temps n Richmond va area...I'll just drop the summer fert from academy save this for next summer
Pete...just wanna wish u a Happy 4th of July! I enjoy your videos...u take the time to EXPLAIN why certain products work best, when, where, and how they work. This video nails summer stress...changes needing to water...mowing...fertilizer...and insecticide. Early to mid Summer..is the most challenging time to keep lawns healthy, let alone green. Most people give up, let the lawn burn, since most of us cannot afford irrigation, or our wells cannot keep up . If u have not done a video on alternatives to watering a lawn: cost effective DIY irrigation, what our alternatives we have w wells, best sprinklers, hoses, etc...
I have a well....i get 1-3hrs of watering before i get to running the well dry in summer. So i give 1-2 hr well recovery time on watering lawn and gardens. Two reels of 200ft of hose...i use PLASTIC impulse sprinklers vs brass....less restrictive w lower water pressure and can cover more area. I occassionally use the Miracle Gro inline plastic bottle to spread Miracle Gro...is there ANOTHER better, or bigger inline hose fertilizer container or solution u recommend. I am on 2 acre property, typically use 30-35,000 cu ft coverage of fertilizer, Milorgonite, lime, etc....Soil Alive is a great summer mix Pete, nice job!
Thank you dept. of home land security 👍🇺🇸
Knowledge is power. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I've got my yard lush and dark green. Hands down dominating the block. Thank you GCI Turf.
I just put a well in today!
Watch out Pete, I'm going to start making some blinding stripes on a whole new level!
How about this now, all the web sites say to water before 10:00 am. I even have solar panels. Without regard to the cost of water or electricity, when and how much should I water? It's going to be above 90 all next week!
By the way, my well is only 30 feet deep. It has 10.5 feet of water (the water is only at 19.5 feet deep). I could not get the water to come down any at all (in the hole) for running the pump for an hour!
Im here 🤘 epic night for lawncare vids 3 back to back so far!
Florida Lawns I was thinking the same thing!!
@@nygrasshole whow
I love your videos pete. You are a very good source for lawn care.
isnt it crazy what can happen in 1 year in this country? Love your opening
Pete put it on his turf... I'll buy it!!!
That shed is awesome-!!!
I wanna see Jaxx driving that Perma Green!!!! Love seeing that kid in the videos!!! Also enjoyed the entire fam with the organic weeding!! Lol
That soil alive saved my fescue last year! Pricey to ship out to CA due to weight, but we'll worth the money
Your video's are always Amazing Pete!!! Have a wonderful weekend
"Yea boy!" Motivating! Well deserved 'shout out' to DHS!
I find it hilarious how youtube puts truegreen commercials with these videos. Hahaha
Ya lol
It's tough without an irrigation system, sprinklers just don't do it.. but they help, some.
I took your advice and began applying preventative fungicide treatments every 28 days. So I water at night sometimes so it's not evaporating as much
Yeah I hear its not good to water at night but it rains all the time at night? Thats why having a warm season grass has it advantages over a cool season. You really need an irrigation system from may - aug for cool season turf. A garden hose and a sprinkler works just fine for warm season grass.
Pete, you're a good man. I appreciate what you do. Cheers
Wait, so let me get this straight. You are showing a product in your video and not pushing an affiliate link to it? Man how are we supposed to know that you want us to blindly spend money on it if you don’t remind us 10x to go to the link below to buy it? It’s almost like you are making these videos to actually help the average homeowner. I’m so confused.
TN Hawkeye man I just don’t want to be known as the sales guy. I can’t stand that stuff. Lol
Nice KBG Pete wow! @10:00 so key and important. Some people do pointless math formulas or just make it complicated for themselves. As long as you got the right amount of product on the right amount of sq ft area, you can put it on the lowest setting and just make multiple passes.
We are in the midst of a drought or headed towards one in NW Ohio. Normally I would apply July 1 but not this year. I don’t have a Sprinkler system.
Great video Pete. Just subscribed. Keep up the great work.
@ Pete-106° in Phoenix Az tomorrow...you will love the Bermuda once it's in your place of business. Tiff will be a lot of work but, will give that diamond field look. If you want something that can be cut a little taller I would recommend princess 77 it is the most closely related to tiff from my understanding. I may be wrong
princess 77 is a very thick growing bermuda and likes to be cut tight. You shouldn't let it grow more than 1 inch tall, and that's more than I would let it grow. Think of it as carpet. If you let it get tall, you'll have a dump truck load of thatch to get rid of in the spring. Remember, all that stuff that turns brown in the winter will not come back. It's waste. The new growth comes from underneath.
With cool season grasses, I do not like taking the risk of pushing the grass when it wants to go into its dormant stage.
Thank you from NYPD
Some homeland security watching the canadian boarder for the scary canadians drove his car into the river and a canadian heard his cries for help and called 911 and the homeland security officer was rescued.
Pete - I really love your channel.
That KBG is looking great! HyR Brix is some good stuff. I need them to open distribution to NE Okla. I hope all is well bro! have a great weekend!
Hi Toby, we just got a distributor in that area, we are currently working on getting into stores in OK!
@@hyrbrix That is great to hear! Hopefully it will be in the Tulsa area soon.
@HyR BRIX How about Maryland??
We are trying! @@@Doober80
Just followed the link bc this seemed like a good option for summer fert on my TTTF here in MA. $35/ bag which is normal... $60 for shipping!!! Oh well guess I won't be using it. Still love your videos though, keep em coming!
👍I sure do wish you'd open a branch in Louisville KY
Pete, if you want to green that lawn up, use FERTILOME PLUS IRON!! Water in Well! NOTHING BEATS IT!!!!!
Hey Pete my friend I would absolutely LOVE this product Soil Alive! It's absolutely perfect for summer!! I was using Ringer Lawn Restore for the summer months. The only thing I see with Soil Alive is shipping is also $25 bag! That does not seem to be sustainable at $35 bag for the product itself...$60 total PER BAG. Any suggestions???
Mitch-give us a call and we can look to see if we can ship to a local Walgreen's to save you some money.
@@hyrbrix Awesome and much appreciated! I will call you Monday! Have a great weekend.
Hi Pete. I just found this video...I've only found your channel about a month ago. I am a fire captain in Maryland. What size shirt do you wear? Thank you for the great content and may God continue to bless you.
Any ideas for a full all day shade grass? My front yard has a tree which blocks most sun all day long. I am struggling to find a grass that will grow and look good on the shade. The front yard is rarely used so turf would be fine.
Fertilizer with higher amounts of potassium is good for heat and drought resistance.
what would you suggest? Ringer????
@@Prtygrl44 He is referring to the the Soil Alive product in video. It has much more potassium than Ringer Lawn Restore. This is why I am looking to transition to Soil Alive thanks to Pete's info here.
@@Prtygrl44 I shop at a commercial supplier. Anything with potassium at 10 to 15 should be sufficient.
I can see ya killing off the tall fescue and planting KBG, im in PA and my KGB looks like carpet, thanks to the 1/3 rule and light fert apps. 16:34 bless you!
Got a shirt comin your way from Richmond, Va
@GCI Turf Services I am following scotts schedule, I am in zone 7. It says to put summergard down in June 25th. This product on Amazon showed it has burnt lawns and on the week of June 25th 90degrees or over, it is calling for rain all that week and the next. Will it be ok to use at Half ratio If I where to be sure the lawn has an inch per week. My other option is Milorganite.
Good gracious alive🤣🤣🤣...thank you!
This video makes me want to have a sweet tea!
Hey Pete. What kinda plants are those between the driveway and the grass?
Looking good, we finally got some rain after like a month.
Okay, okay you got my curiosity peaked with this new one. I love experimenting. I miiiiigggghhhhttt just have to have a look! LOL It's already on the site ready to go. You don't play Pete. Good video bro!
Ok
GCI Turf Service I have grass that's all weeds what should use to turn it into grass only? Also what's a good grass to grow in mostly shade? Thanx🤔
have it sprayed and start over.
No big heat here in CT yet. Too much rain but Grass loving it. Btw.. love Homeland Security shirt. Good stuff. God bless the ones giving us our freedom and security.
Year long or season long application? Do I do it once a year?
can you apply this on a dormant lawn at half rate?
Hey Pete! Love all the videos my friend. Quick question for you. Have you ever tried Hyrbrix organic pasture fertilizer before and if so what did you think about it? Reason I ask is because it’s pretty low on NPK at a 2-1-8 analysis and was wondering if that would be a better option then Milorganite for tall fescue yards up north. Any advice would be greatly appreciated sir. Thank you and have a blessed day.
Hey Pete, I'm in NE Georgia. Just moved into a house with fescue lawn. Is there anything safe to apply now to control some of the weeds (lespezda, crab, some common Bermuda) in fescue?
Can you do a video on when to lime, how much lime and the PH in the soil? Love you videos. From Kannapolis, NC
3:57 feel bad for all the folks who are going to see Pete’s nice kbg but miss the part in the video where he says he’s been pumping it with water. He should take a section of it and water it like the tttf so we can see how it holds up in the transition zone. Everyone in my area, Virginia, said kbg is no go without adequate watering.
Kevr GREAT comment because I’m in the process of filming a video on this exact thing just to let folks know the details
GCI Turf Services Thanks Pete, glad you didn’t take it as criticism.
Kevr no sir. My worst fear when I took this on was just anybody thinking they can grow KBG anywhere. I have spent a TON of time on that 1500 squ ft
Do you still run your summer fungicide Azoxystrobin with what was it, Propiconazole? I am asking because I bought Lesco Spectator (41% Propiconazole) and wanted to see your thoughts on applying it with an Ortho hose end sprayer and is it safe for kids to enter after? The label isn’t great on answering those questions. 👍🏼
Awesome job man!!!!!
Pete - Any reason in particular you use the ex-mark walk behind more this year vs the wright stander? Just curious
I missed mowing with it...thats all
Gotcha! Thanks!
Great videos! You’ve educated me so much over the last few years!
what was your experience with Docs Super Juice? please let me know
Why do I see lighter shades of grass in tall fescue? Looks like I see it in your neighbors lawn also.
I really appreciate this video.
Home land security! Must say mist you Pete! Heat stress every ware.Have not done anything for a few weeks.Got speed zone and your humick package.Need some rain.Some comming!Next week if I see signs of heat stress coming down would it be a good time to put down speed zone and humick 12 or another suggestion.Don't you dare move to Indiana!
Clayton Pegram Humic12 will be fine, but I wouldn’t even attempt SpeedZone in the summer if temperatures are high, let alone when the lawn is stressed.
"Thanks Pete", for the conversation at the end of the video in reference to the different products shown on your channel and not for people to try and buy everything that's shown. I bring that up because it shows a person's character and that you're not a "Mr. Haney" the traveling salesman, from the ole tv show "Hee Haw Junction ". Just your comments lets people know that you understand money don't grow on trees and you're not trying to shake em down to their last penny. I just thought it was something worth pointing out to other viewers/subscribers that it shows me about you. Take care......BTW...man it's so hot down here (Florida), if you walk to fast, you're catch on fire...
Bighit Dawg thank you sir. I’m very intentional ability that. I work VERY hard for my money and I know others do as well. Folks are easily sucked in to buy the latest and greatest. I will always show new stuff but I don’t want folks to feel the HAVE to buy it because I show it 😎. Thx for this comment friend
Hey Pete, I love watching your videos! How big is that storage shed if you don’t mind me asking?
Israel Carrasco 32x12 I think
Pete i watched your vlog on leveling your yard with compost. My question is i have warm season grass (Centipede) and my yard needs leveling will black cow or any compost be a good choice? Or should I use sand ? It seems like compost will break down.
Any updates on the Super Juice coming? Or did I miss that?
Thanks for another awesome and informative video😃
Great video Pete..
Hey Pete, thanks for all of you videos. We just purchased a house in New Jersey. The lawn is mostly crab grass and the yellow weeds that pop up. What should I do to get started.
I had my Florida house looking great but Jersey lawns are a little different.
soil test and now start tackling weeds then by seeding time you should be ready to seed in fall
so you used both carbon x & soil amendment?
Your videos are very helpful and I really like how you talk about more than lawn care in some of your videos.
Pete, what size shirt do you wear? I’m not law enforcement but I got you.
First Aussie 😁Keeping it real Pete. 😁👍👍
Pete, appreciate the respect man. Need a address to send.
Jared Reyes thank you for your work!
Pete, where do you get your gloves? Thanks for the great videos!!
Nice video! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
As always.....looking good
I have been enjoying and learning a ton from your videos. I wanted to know your opinion on spraying liquid fertilizer vs granular fertilizer.
Given that they both have their place. But on a limited budget would you recommend buying a good backpack sprayer or a good broadcast spreader?
Thank you for great videos!
Amen Bro! Thank you Homeland Security.
Do a fundraiser
What city and state are you in?
Would you recommend organic fertilizer in summer?
I'm doing the same, organic for the rest of the year. It's a 10-3-3 of which 95% of the N is from organic sources. Let's see how it goes. Definitely don't use synthetic and then not water the lawn. Just not sure yet about the amount, full app, half app..
I've been using an 8-3-5 organic fertilizer, OMRI listed, for more than 20 years with excellent results.
Did you go to Indiana for abi course
DHS...THE BEST.
NC. We finally have rain
Pete, can you recommend an economical fungicide for a tall fescue lawn that has some brown patch. I’m treating 1.3 acres so that’s the need for economical!
I realize the upfront cost is much but your cost per acre is very good with this....gciturfacademy.com/product/strobe-2l-liquid-fungicide-heritage/
@@GCITurf Hey Pete buddy I thought you used to recommend Propiconazole for brown patch prevention. Is Heritage more for control instead or is Heritage just cheaper?
Mitch azoxystrobin is better all around fungicide and lasts longer I feel. Propi works as well
@@GCITurf Thank you sir! Bayer has a Propi granule that's not that concentrated so it appears the granule version is good for prevention as I'm doing more versus control.
I got blasted so bad with Army worms last year.
Hey Pete, Can you recommend a good company for a cargo trailer for lawn aerator? Ryan 1v - V Etc.....
are you wanting a trailer or an aerator?
GCI Turf Services One Of those cargo trailers for an aerator to haul. I saw you had one on the back of your pickup. They are hard to find a heavy duty one. Trugreen has them to carry aerators around. Any help would be great. Where two legs drop down to take off.
@@healthsharks where do you live?
GCI Turf Services I’m here in Chicago.
I run a small lawn care business. About an hour away from Indiana.
Greetings from Indiana!
Them stripes... wow.
How much does bag cover per?
Trey Matlock depends on how much of each nutrient you are wanting to apply. I just put it out on the neighbors yard at 1 bag per 5000 squ ft
How much water is the bluegrass getting?????
A LOT....I have that video coming soon
Lime I meant to say lime
You still wearing our shirts?
Im here too
