Allyn, You are my new hero! I am soon Freaking glad I found this channel. I too am a full blown Lawn care nut!! Nice to know there are people out there as fanatical as I am. After watching all these videos I am totally going over to organics. Great Video's!! Thank you. Keep them coming!!
+Robert Batten awesome thanks Bro!
Just went all organic as well! Humic 12, RGS, MicroGreene, Air8 and Dethatch!
2.5 gallons of each! Milorganite too!
Had a soil test and needed massive amounts of lime my lawns were so acidic. Low doses of lime over time though.
Now getting rid of most weeds. The toughest has been Nimblewill. Lawns are looking great though. Go Super Recycler as well.
The Sodfather has spoken.
Dayum your yard is wicked green brother.
First time in here. I really wish my husband was so into taking care our lawn.
I’m the the one who’s handles the lawn work in our home. And do a very good job but always looking for more tips and information. Thank you for your video
New subscriber here!! Also first time home owner as well. Can not wait to get my yard nice and GREEN! Love your vids!! You gotta respect anyone who takes pride in what they do. Keep the video coming sir!
welcome to the team Brian!
Thanks for the info, just fertilized my lawn here in NM today. Hoping my lawn recovers during this monsoon season! It took a real beating during June.
Yeah it's been a crazy year thus far here too
That is one beautiful lawn. Obviously you know what you're talking about. Thanks.
Great video Allyn! They just keep getting better. Hope the showing of your house went well. I put down 4 bags of Milorganite on my lawn yesterday along with milky spore for grub control. Since using your advice, I now have to mow twice a week! My lawn is awesome, the only problem is that it is not visible from the road, so there is no display of dominance against neighboring lawns.
@lawncarenut Thanks for making this video you helped me a ton. The last couple of years I have used Scott's 4step which says right on the bag what to set it to. This year I switched to a 4 step program formulated for the intermountain west. The product bag had no settings listed on it anywhere I was freaking out until I came across this video. Thanks to your formula and some quick math I was able to figure out how much of the product to put on my lawn and didnt have to risk guessing and burning the piss out of my lawn. So thanks again now I can stop worrying and get out and get it applied.
I bought the Scott's Mini and put out Scott's DiseaseEX for greyspot. I measured out 4lbs (the curative rate per 1000 sq ft) did an edge pass and two straight passes, all gone. I used the curative rate per the bag and it took the entire bag of product to a little over 1200 sq ft. I thought it would have been a little more accurate than that!
I would have just worked out the square metering using google earth.
nice vids btw.
This guy is thee Lawn Care Nut!!!
Very informative and fun to watch. Thanks Allyn.
Great content! Just bought a beautiful home but grass is a little brown looking to make it beautiful again! Thank you
Hey Allyn. Do you have a video on how to calibrate a spreader?
You went all night with a half cut lawn? I would have had to take a sedative. But seriously I am thoroughly enjoying your channel Allyn. We are very much on the same page in regards to lawn care. You are like a colleague. Love the humor especially. :)
thanks!
Great video! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for filling up at Speedway!!
i did mine on thursday. good times
Great info! To passerby's it probably looked like you were sprawled out on your driveway talking to bags of fertilizer. I'm sure it made for some interesting conversations.
Jethro Bodine my neighbors all wonder why I have all these cameras out every weekend. I think they wonder most about the selfie stick action lol
The Lawn Care Nut Does your dominated neighbor know that he is being dominated on the internet?
Happy 4th Allyn. GREAT job and thank you as always!!
Paul Connolly thank you!
I loved the music on this one
Great videos! I wish I had found your channel earlier. What model spreader are you using? Also curious why you chose Earthway? Thanks.
Haha,
Your editing and camera work is GREAT.
The Landscaping Employee Trap thanks Bro, trying to get better and better with the overall story in the vids.
it really is good, i really need to improve my presentation and editing, you are now my inspiration!
Yea I'm not a big math fan either lol Just striped my lawn yesterday. I was going to dominate and do angle stripes, but I just didn't have time.
@LCN - i have the same Earthway 2600 spreader as you - bought from Southern States.
Prepping to lay down Milo on July 4th on my 10K sqft lawn.
What setting do I used on the Earhtway?
Very good quality video keep up the great work and thanks for the amazing tips. Happy 4th Allyn!!!!
Echo CMT thanks you too!
Did you ever see the Brinly P20-500BH 50# spreader? It looks alot like your Earthway, but only about $130 from Lowes online. The Earthway is hard to find. Brinly says made in USA.
Great videos dude.
How often should I apply fertilizer? How often should I spray weed? May i do those two applications in one day or I should wait for a certain period between weeding and fertilizing ?
Every 6-8 weeks when using organic fertilizer like milorganite. Usually around Easter, Veterans Day, and July 4th.
By the way, in my opinion this is the most entertaining video you've made. Love the editing! How long does it take to edit something like this?
Jethro Bodine thanks. The filming is a lot more fun this way - requires more thinking ahead which I like. The editing on this vid was a solid 5 hours. This one took longer due to how many different cameras I had running and then I had to line up audio tracks.
Question: I just got the Chapin 100lb very similar to the Earthway(same gate controls), when choosing the setting do you simply put the stopper nut on the setting number?
Why don’t you cover drop spreaders? I royally Fkng hate rotary spreaders because they end up tossing ferts on the sidewalks. No, I will not adjust my distance like you did on the video. I get better coverage with my Scotts drop spreader.
So per ur videos. Just bought 2600aplus. 96 pounds milo 100 pounds prodiamine. So , 10 pounds Milo/1000 sq feet. What setting do I use? Earthway 2600ap?
I use miloorganite twice a year covering 2 acres( 1 1/2 of lawn)
I always buy 15 bags each time i do it
Shayne1973
I use 16 bags on just under 1-acre. I think they suggest you use twice what your using.
About 43,000 square feet in one acre. One sack of Milorganite covers 2500 square feet. That’s the 36-lb bags of course.
Maybe you are using larger bags of it??
AWESOME VIDEO!!!
So if I take a bucket and a scale and weigh out the required amount of fert, then I'm good?
steve bristol you got it - then all you have to do is get that distributed evenly across the area you are applying to
Have you had any experience with a lawn spreader that's 2 wheel drive? By this, I mean every one I've tested in the store only has a single drive wheel. I assume this has to do with differentials and being able to turn gracefully...but this is not a car, and I don't need the wheels to spin at different rates when I'm turning. I'd like one where BOTH wheels can each spin the impeller. My reasons? Well, I fertilize a hill side-to-side and sometimes depending on my direction of travel, I don't get the results I'd like. Rather than explain the issue, I'd suggest you think about physics and levels, and maybe you can visualize the trouble I'm having. I've developed work-arounds, but simply have a spreader where both wheel work would be great.
Thumbs up as usual, I'm dumbfounded by how your house is not sold yet. A house like that would sell itself where I live.
Those abandoned bags of mulch and soil on carts are the ones that people decided to return. The returns cashier is not allowed to put them back on the pallet or shelf so he leaves them in a cart so that any available garden associate can put it back in the right place.
So what setting did you use on this spreader for Milorganite? I have the same spreader and would like to know.
Hi, I have a question how many time do i have to put milorgamite a year and do i used instead of food lawn.
Do you have any tips for lawn care in the desert? Im here in vegas and i have the absolute WORST luck with my grass! So jealous of your super perfect green lawn! I'm about to give up & put in gravel but I have kids & want them to have a nice yard to play on! Thanks. Love your videos!
I'd love the challenge of a Vegas lawn. Do you have an irrigation system?
The Lawn Care Nut yeah we have automatic sprinkers but im thinking its the bad soil...the grass keeps dying & the desert weeds are relentless!
I just applied milorganite and I'm thinking I should've gone with a starter fertilizer first. How long before I should apply a starter fertilizer my lawn is a year old and looks pretty sad this year. I'm in Southern California and it gets pretty hot
And we have some watering restrictions
If you didn't move to another state do you ever ride by to see what the old lawn looks like?
Subscribed! Thanks. You prefer Milorganite over other fertilizers?
Hey Allen!, how often do you do your milorganite? spring, summer fall? from what I can tell from your videos....your fall recovery video shows 15lbs per 1,000 sq ft. How bout the spring and summer treatments? how much? thanks/Gary
+Gary Chalifoux hey Gary - here you go ua-cam.com/video/2s7CqJBuEzg/v-deo.html
Does it stink after you put down the fertilizer because it stunk after I did for like two weeks?
rt0110 not usually for more than 24 hours usually. Not sure what you had going on unless you put down way too much maybe?
this video made me think are you selling house to much lawn to care for? and what device can buy tells how fast you walk?
Allen I know this is an old video but do I get the spreader set to where I cover 1000 sq ft with 1 pass or should I get the spreader setting to where I go north south and then east west to cover the 1000 sq ft I just bought a new spreader in the past with milorganite I always go north south then east west
Haha thx for all your great videos they have helped me a lot in my small lawn care service. Plus my wife thinks I am nuts because I try all this advice on my lawn 1st and she just shakes her head lol. I told her I am nuts now, I am a lawn care nut. I must say my old lawn is looking better but it has a long way to go, but it is indeed looking better.
Leland Adcock I love that! My wife knows I'm a nut but she has gotten used to it! Best of luck to your in your business!
Allyn,
In a prior video you used lesco. I use milorganite religiously as well. Was the lesco for your church lawn project or do you integrate them both (personally)? Keep up the EXCELLENT work with the videos and good luck with your home showings.
Kevin Dowe I used Lesco starter fert in that video for that particular lawn care program - but I go 100% organic these days.
lol,I think I'm going to have to go with the hand spreader. everything always like to be in the hundreds or thousands mark
but I'll be the youngest guy on the block with the nicest yard ,
thanks for the vids.
Very good
Your good bro, great video's!
LOVE your channel man!!!
thank you!!
Great video!
Here's a logistics question for ya. Let's say you only need 14.5 lbs from a 32lb bag. How do you measure it out? Do you use a scale of some sort?
Hey lawn care nut, should I remove weeds in the grass prior to fertilizing with melorganite or will the grass become so luscious after fertilization that it'll choke those weeds and kill them off?
Thanks!
Happy July 4th weekend!
kstacey860 it works both ways.
I know that's where you used to live, but have some questions about that property:
1.- Did you have an irrigation system? If so, what was your water schedule?
2.- Did you use fungicides during the summer to keep the lawn green?
3.- Mowing height? How many inches? Looks like a Bluegrass lawn, is it?
4.- What was your zip code in that area?
Thanks in advance for answering my questions.
Great channel!
Allyn, would it be a smart idea if I use milorganite as my prime fertilizer? I'm seeing that it only needs to be used four times out of the year so it'll save money and its organic! I would also like to add that I own a landscaping business; west over here in sunny san diego, california.
yes very smart choice
There are tools online where you can draw points and it will tell you how big your lawn is per square feet.
What was your settings
Hello Allyn ！ I cant find milorganite in Vancouver Canada 😔. I checked online， home depot，and everywhere. Anything else i can use？ Thank u
ashleynunusu you can use Safer Brand Ringer as a great substitute. THey have free shipping also I believe.
ashleynunusu here in Qc we are able to find it at Rona
What, if any, are the disadvantages to over fertilizing Milorganite?
megafast13 you can't over-fert with it because it is organic... so in terms of that, it won't burn anything like a synthetic fert. But too much of any Nitrogen product will push overgrowth and that is not healthy.
Thanks! I've used a total of 3 bags over my 3500 sq ft or so lawn over the past 1.5 months along with scotts watersmart seed and my lawn went from embarrassing to lush dark green, and I just did the double wide stripes today. I'm obsessed now because of your videos ha!
I know some people apply it weekly.. side effects include mowing every other day lol
Tim Linden Thanks. I've ended up applying a couple bags every 2 weeks and it looks spectacular, but I do mow very often, but I enjoy that haha.
The Lawn Care Nut so whats is that attachment on the mower?
That was some funny shit! Good math too- haha
My husband burns our lawn every year when he fertilizes it. Maybe this video will help him.
😂😂
You can never have too much Milo. I put my setting to max every time.
do you use a 40lb spreader
Classic.
Whats that intro song
What happens if my spreader doesn't have a way to adjust the setting?
+SwagSubscriber get a new spreader
+The Lawn Care Nut lol ok. What do you recommend for a basic house owner with a lawn size around 4000 sq ft?
+SwagSubscriber I like Earthway. Spend $125 or $150 on a spreader now and it's the last one you will buy in your lifetime. I have the "Estate" spreader here amzn.to/1TpRnHa
+The Lawn Care Nut ok thanks
Are you kidding me ! Lol you make a moon shot out putting down a non burning fertilizer!
Allen? I see you mulchin .....do you ?ever " pick up your clippings? or always choose to mulch....I spose to just reintroduce the organic matter back into the lawn, rather than trucking it away??
+Gary Chalifoux I will bag rarely - like when there are heavy leaves on the lawn. But normally, I mulch
What's mulch?
Just tell me the setting.
No double fats by Jake's house. Trying not to dominate his lawn? :)
Patrick Utz yeah I was in a hurry :) Too worried about the camera and not the cut.
what is the camera and mic you use to record?
Buy a measuring wheel
I see the Sheriff's Crown Vic out front... Uh-oh.
there'd not abandoned,they playing with people's minds to trick them to buy mulch 😂
Why is that spreader $200?! Sounds a bit... too much?
The cheaper you go, the shittier they are. Take it from me.. $25 spreader and it's never worked correctly.
I still can't believe you dominated a next door cop. You cost me around $400.00 for 130lb spreader, 10 bags of maliorgante, seed, starter fert. Sprinkler,ummmm I think that's all. All products you recommend. I'm sooo gonna dominate.
put rocks for a lawn
shayne that means yours putting only about 60% of what it needs. 1.5 acres of grass should roughly be 25 bags at a proper rate application
YOU FORGOT THE MEASURE THE OTHER SIDE OF YOUR DRIVEWAY THE SMALLER AREA OF GRASS ! ?
LAPrincee *FORGOT TO
Is that your lawn because there's a For-Sale sign on it lol.
Your wife is a lucky woman. No homo.
all you that want a good lawn should go get certification through your local Agriculture Department you will learn all this in the basic manual and you can do damage by putting too much organic material down just to let you know you break the integrity of your soil the microbial degradation that happens is sped up tremendously
Hope the potential buyers aren't turned away from that milorganite smell!💩💩
I find the smell pleasing since I associate it with sexy lawn.
guess? I was hoping he'd bust out some calculus
What's with the police
Bye ....too complicadted for me.
All that Scotts mulch was abandoned because the consumers came to their senses and realized Scotts makes crappy products.
I don't need to see you fill your car with gas! Stop wasting my time!
Get to the point.
Too much superfluous stuff.
