    Yes I agree.. You inspired me to get soil test next week, We all need a baseline . .. You applied "Liquid Lawn Fertilizer" on your Sept. 27 video. your most recent soil test results were very low in major and micronutrients. I was going to use the same "liquid lawn Fertilizer" you used, since it has natural ingredients Should I apply more than you did? or apply every month? Please keeping make another VIDEO. SOON! ! I am learning a lot from you. thank you.

      Great to hear you're inspired to get a soil test! It's always helpful to have a baseline. Regarding the Liquid Lawn Fertilizer I used in my Sept. 27 video, it’s a good idea to follow the product guidelines for application. While this fertilizer is natural, it's still important not to over-apply. Instead of increasing the quantity, consider applying it more often, and that will help gradually enrich your soil. Monitoring your lawn's response over time will be key to adjusting your approach. When the grass is dormant like it is now, there's not much you should really do to it. The grass isn't going to get much benefit from watering or fertilizing for the time being.

      I am lucky guy to live in San Diego growing TTTF. We dont ever get a frosty night. so instead of fertilizer jin winter maybe biostimulants to promote root growth? highs 65 in the winter.

    It takes forever to get your pH to change, personally, I think the best thing for a lawn is aeration.

      Yeah, you are right about that. I used to think once a year was enough, but I've seen others benefit from doing it more often.
