Thanks for keeping it real and sharing your journey with us! 🌟 Your updates are always a highlight of my day, and I can't wait to see what's next for the Freedom Factory!
A vote for option 2 here -- mow and fert. Your "solving a problem" content is solid gold! Looking forward to more fun videos like this one! By the way, i appreciate how you let your guard down about these last 2 years. Not sure of your struggles, and I hope these other comments are false. You have a large audience because you are so real and authentic -- the kind of guy to have a beer and cigar with. Prayers that you see light at the end of the tunnel and that your future is bright!
Love what you’re doing out at The Freedom Factory. It looks amazing. Also, that pool deck with all those plants looks fantastic. I think my wife and I need to spend a weekend or two doing something similar. Hope you’re well, Allyn.
That spot would be perfect for a Hoselink retractable hose. I have 3 at my house now and will never go back to a normal reel or hose. 3 years in the Texas sun and still going strong.
Completely agree! Just bought my 2nd Hoselink and waiting on my order of stainless steel M8 concrete anchors, so I can put it up and not have the bolts and screws corrode. (learned that from scuba diving). Learning how to use my new hammer drill/impact driver for concrete applications. Makes concrete applications go so much faster, who knew?? I have a weakness for power tools, lawns, and gardening. 😂 Loving all the great information and encouragement here!
Hey LCN, I thought you would appreciate the Milo call out I had noticed. I was watching Caddy Shack the other day and guess what they had stacked up behind Carl Spackler ( Bill Murray)...a huge stack of Milo. It gave me a chuckle.
Regarding the zero g hoses, when you're finished with the hose leave the water on, then from the faucet end neatly wind the hose so the sprinkler or nozzle is on the top, then turn the water off. The next time you use it turn the water on before unwinding the hose and the hose will be kink free or let's say 95 percent kink free, I still have it kink sometimes. I hope this helps, I think they're the best hoses I've used.
I put my moms shrinking hose into a nice big fiberglass flower pot she had lying around. She puts it away every time, and it doesn't seem to get kinked ever. The knots happen when you pull the hose end out through loops. At my house, I prefer a heavy contracotr hose that i coil up on the ground in big loops. If you treat them right, they dont tend to get kinks at all if you can avoid pulling in kinks for the first year or so.
This week’s heat in FL has kicked my butt! I had to bring back my lawn care helper to do the cut for me, he 😮 “what are you doing I’ve never seen it look so good” !!! Our neighborhood is getting ATT fiber lines the guys felt bad ripping up my front yard. Your program & soil test REALLY WORK, now I’m going to put it to work in VA.
Blast it out with all the things! Need to see how those specific chems work. Interested in Quinclorac and Recognition for Torpedo Grass in St. Aug. also!
You can have that warm season grass. I live in Virginia (Shenandoah Valley) transition zone and growing tttf is easy. I can mow it tall and even during a drought I can keep it looking nice. Your crafted fertilizers are great. I also like Greene County products. I think my secret weapon is top dressing using my roller spreader in the spring and fall. For me, the problem with roller spreading (top dressing) is that after a few years of that you really don’t need it anymore. And that’s my favorite part of lawn care except the mow!
I have to say if you get the black zero g hose they are made 100% better honestly. I have had a 100ft one for over 4 years and used it for pressure washing homes, drug it around the corners of the bricks and really just tried to put it to a good test and it's stood strong even to this day.
I say mow low and often, and fertilize in the zoysia section, it can still look good and correct itself over time, plus zoysia and bermuda look pretty good together
I have one of those expanding type lightweight hoses just because it makes it easy to fill my birdbaths and get a little bit of hose out, but for everything else, an old fashioned rubber hose works best and lasts a long time. Also repairable. I have metal hose reels, which are great. If you can find metal ones, get those and skip the plastic, they won't last.
Out here in central Texas we have flood warning almost weekly. I have a gorilla 200 Foot hose real and it works great and has held up to the Texas heat and sun very well over the past year. The only issue is that the handle is too short for a normal sized human, but if you don't move it much, it's great. Really easy to pull the hose out and roll it back up.
I keep a cool head most the time, but I often wonder if my neighbors think im not ok when I unleash the fury on a kinked hose 😂 It happens to all of us Al!
alan, been a lurker for years, luv the channel btw, I have 1/2" 419 bermuda, El Torro Zoysia, and Palisades SA in my yard here in Dallas. As u prob know, we're 95-100 everyday in summer. I've also had Emerald zoysia in my front at my last house, that grass is amazing, but I'm telling ya, bermuda is the alpha in direct full-on hot sun, it will take over everything. My 419 has crowded out the zoysia in the full sun, the zoysia does well in areas with shade and crowds out the 419. Also My 419 gets dry if I dont syringe it about 3pm for 5min, that makes all the difference, keeps the blades from burning. contrary to what everyone thinks, zoysia does NOT like alot of fert, I talked to the superintendent of TPC Craig Ranch re this and he verified they dont do any granular, just spoon feed it a light liquid fert. MY advice, get Tahoma 31, its amazing.
I’m glad you posted this video I thought I was doing something wrong with my lawn. I live in southeast Florida. I will put down the RGS and humid this afternoon
Hey Al in Australia we have a company called hose link that sell these really good retractable hose reels. They're pretty pricey but they're good. Outlasted all the others I've tried. No kinks with mine
Allen, After 25 + years I invested in a retractable garden hose reel - 5/8" x 100 ft, what a blessing, no more kinks. You need to research and buy one. Bye bye to kinks. I was told Flexzilla were good non kink hoses, recommended by experts.
chem it up. would be nice to see a full blown Recognition treatment to see what it can do on that scale! WIll be doing that myself next season (dropped 15 trays of Floritam two months ago) and get rid of that leggy crap
Here’s what worked for me. Mow low and twice per week. Setting B in the back and A in the front on the toro SR. I went with .25N every other week until blackouts. This regiment allowed me to follow the 1/3 rule on the zoysia while I kept cutting into the legs on the Bermuda. Did I get all of it? No but the zoysia thickened up enough to hide the Bermuda. I would only be able to tell Bermuda was still there from the seed heads. Be patient, but you’ll notice decent results by the end of the growing season. I would recommend against chemical treatment…. There’s a fine line between hurting the Bermuda and stunting the zoysia. (Fussilade + ester) IMHO these thick bladed zoysias don’t belong here in FL. They start to go dormant in our hot summers even on a twice weekly watering schedule if we miss out on summer rains for a week or so. There is a cultivar from Australia I’d be interested in seeing… maybe bethel can hook you up with some icon zoysia to resod your zoysia patch with!
Allen,question. I have emerald zoysia in my back yard. Well this year I 😮have a spot that is taken over by wild Bermuda. Please help me get my beloved emrald zoysia back. What can I put down to kill the Bermuda and not hurt my emerald zoysia?
Opposite of what this video is showing, I have a question: Being in NJ how do I kill the zoysia with minimal damage to TTTF. Bought a house which had half zoysia and half cool weather grass. Is there something I can apply in August before over-seeding in the fall?
Hey from Palm Harbor...hey Alan, looking at the mowing height of Mike's SA lawn are you possibly rethinking the mower height on SA in general? I have really thick green SA, that I cut a 4"... only because my mower won't go any higher...but it's SO thick it's hard to get my old Honda mower through it! Don't let that hose kick your ass... pull it out straight BEFORE you turn it on, then coil it up neatly. I love those things!
Oh it hurts to hear you bash the zero-g hose. It is by far my favorite hose, I own several, had em for years, gift them and recommend them to people. They are amazing hoses, especially when you break them in. I do have the black version though, and I have to advise you to mount a bracket to train it into a manageable loop. It’s of course going to get tangled when you put it on the ground like that. Mine has no leaking issues, again, not sure if the green ones are maybe the issue there.
Is it too late now to put down some Celsius WG on some stubborn weeds that I have? I’m also in Bradenton. I know it is too hot for the Image for Southern Lawns that I typically use and get great results from. The Celsius WG doesn’t have a stated outside high temperature limit
The good news is Celsius has no heat restrictions so it's great for use all summer. It may slow down the growth of the grass for a week or so but that's it. It will definitely kill the weeds.
Hey Allyn I’m in PA most of my life so I’ve only had experience with cool season grasses but am planning on building a house on my property in FLA soon, so without any experience with warm season grasses I’ll be starting with pretty much a blank slate, not sure if I’ll have irrigation or not. What grass type would you recommend for my first foray into warm season grass?
So I'm on the app and following a lawncare plan based on our soil test results. Does the app update at random? I wasn't supposed to put down prodiamine until juneish, now it changed to put down today. Along with a couple of other things being switched around. Is this normal?
it's looking at the current soil temps (24 hour average) and it's a little too dynamic. We are working to dial that back some. Since it had you in June, that is based on historical averages, sounds like it recently started look at actuals and you're warm early. that's usually what I see happening in these cases. Feel free to thrower down anytime between now and then and youll be good.
The hose probably just needed a better wrapping technique. There's a few videos on YT on how to do it properly, usually it's long cables like used in live events that use the technique, but it works on hoses as well. Do a search for "How Pros Wrap Extension Cords, Cables & Hoses" for a solid tutorial.
I am new to this don't judge me for asking but why do you have different type of grass? Bermuda, st augustine, zoysia. I myself think st augustine is the best. Please educate me.
I have had all three major varieties of warm season grass, and I have to say zoysia is the biggest baby. St Aug is my second fav, except fungus prone. Bermuda all the way…and when it gets thick…it’s a bitch to mow unless you have a level lawn and can reel mow.
I actually had to dig through my trash to look for the ZeroG hose packaging to reread if it said guaranteed to kink or guaranteed NOT to kink. It’s absolutely the worst hose.
Aqua Joe and brass quick disconnects at faucets. 100ft hose, no kinks. Melanor quick disconnection with Melanor spray head. You'll see the hose is allowed to rotate at the connections. Impossible to mess up.
It's 3lbs/1000 and there should have been a card in the box with the spreader settings. Just in case, here they are: yardmastery.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360058420873-What-are-the-correct-spreader-settings
I had the same hose and it kinked also. The only good thing it rolls up nice with a hose reel. I don't think it's possible to make a true kink free hose
First off, great channel and content. Question: I watch a few lawn channels, and you guys always mention Bermuda grass but never mentioned kentucky blue. I was wondering if one is better than the other?
I’m really starting to loathe my empire zoysia. It’s a constant chemistry battle. Too much rain, fungus, not enough rain, dormant/dead. Bermuda filled in immediately where I fixed bug problem dead patches, and is now thriving and green. Wish I went with Bermuda instead of the zoysia, it just handles the sun sooo much better.
Hay Allen do you like ur EGO MOWER do you have an review on it I’m thinking of getting an electric mower just wondering if you like it or not if you can help that would be awesome
I have an Ego mower, 3rd season and I use it in addition to my paid lawn service for the 2nd weekly cut. I love not breathing fumes and it has great lights for evening mows when it’s a little cooler out to avoid the heat of the day. I’m sure my neighbors think I’m crazy to mow in addition to my paid service, but it’s great exercise and I enjoy it. You won’t be disappointed.

Freedom factory? That’s enough for me
I'm in Florida also.It's hard getting enough water to keep the Zoysia from going dormant. My St Augustine is struggling, but staying green.
Water restrictions don't help either, do they!

I’m having this exact same problem in Georgia. Big time drought with high heat in the 90s so I’ve had to water heavy almost every day to keep it going
That drought... No Bueno..
First
There's still a lot of snow on the mountains in Lehi. What's up with that?
@@TheLawnCareNut who knows... I live way too north and too high up.. Snow is No Bueno...
Take me to capt Gene

I agree - I have the black one that is 50ft and is only 5/8" and it does not kink. It's just this thicker 3/4" one that I have issue with.
I just applied the same thing in my fescue. Luckily, we've had over an inch of rain here yesterday. Hydretain can fill the drought gaps though!
I say mow low and often, and fertilize in the zoysia section, it can still look good and correct itself over time, plus zoysia and bermuda look pretty good together

Same here always shouting and talking to myself while struggling in my lawn. Lmao.
Fert and mow to see it grow!!
Mow and hope for the best.
I do not fight my Bermuda in my St Augustine. Areas are very strong with SA so Bermuda is way less.

Very nice bromeliad. Your video is motivating me to fertilize my lawn. I have the yard mastery sticker on the bottom of one of my gutters.
I say accept the challenge and push it! The sense of accomplishment will be worth it.
Hey Al in Australia we have a company called hose link that sell these really good retractable hose reels. They're pretty pricey but they're good. Outlasted all the others I've tried. No kinks with mine
Use a reel for that Zero G. I've never had an issue with a kink. I also exclusively stick the black Zero G. Not sure what the difference is though.
I bought stainless hose , best I've ever bought
You'll never be rid of the C. Bermuda. But I'd love to see you hammer it to, hopefully, bolster my confidence to do the same.
Allen, After 25 + years I invested in a retractable garden hose reel - 5/8" x 100 ft, what a blessing, no more kinks. You need to research and buy one. Bye bye to kinks.

WIll be doing that myself next season (dropped 15 trays of Floritam two months ago) and get rid of that leggy crap
I’m about to lay some Zoysia sod out by the pool. Would you do Zoysia again if you had to re sod?

My St Augustine has dried spots, Can I use that product to recover the dried spots?
I use the black hose from Home Depot. I have 3 of them. Never got a kink. I forget the name of it but it’s their expensive one.

What grass type would you recommend for my first foray into warm season grass?
Flexilla hose, for water, pressure washer, air. Lighter, mostly kink-free
Nice vid. Mow your yard low and rotate a different Greene County fert spray every week.
Chemicals for sure. Now that you have the reel mower, I’d like to see Frankenlawn 2.0.
I’d do chems on the zoysia and fert after
Definitely spray and pray chemical to knock the problems out fast. Plus, I love the smell of a freshly sprayed lawn. Hoosier for life!
I bought a similar hose at Costco recently and returned it after the first use.
Chemical to kill bermuda. I'm in the same boat but only use fusilade 2 with a surfactant. It would be nice to see your results vs mine
Have the same hose and yeah its annoying at times but it works great when its all out lol
Where's the link for the Fourplay homemade?
If you don't have a hose reel you should figure 8 your hose. It's what we do with cables as electricians and it works great.
So I'm on the app and following a lawncare plan based on our soil test results. Does the app update at random? I wasn't supposed to put down prodiamine until juneish, now it changed to put down today. Along with a couple of other things being switched around. Is this normal?
it's looking at the current soil temps (24 hour average) and it's a little too dynamic. We are working to dial that back some.

@@TheLawnCareNut awesome thank you!
You need a hose reel, bro. All your troubles will be over. The outdoor, enclosed style ones.
Thanks Allyn, great tips!
When're we gonna get another LAM podcast? Can you make one regarding heat stress, hot spots, and treating mole crickets?
I’m actually trying to get Bermuda to overtake the centipede, st aug, and Dallas grass without soding. Any tips?
Don't turn the water on until you layout how much hose you need off the reel first. No knots !
I have the same hose, looks like yours will at least straighten out. Mine looks like a damn curly fry even at full extension.. pretty annoying.
Curly Fry 😂😂😂
The hose probably just needed a better wrapping technique. There's a few videos on YT on how to do it properly, usually it's long cables like used in live events that use the technique, but it works on hoses as well.

Sea-K isn't in my arsenal. What about RGS instead for the potted plants?
works the same, use up what you have, no need to buy something else
I actually had to dig through my trash to look for the ZeroG hose packaging to reread if it said guaranteed to kink or guaranteed NOT to kink. It’s absolutely the worst hose.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. 😌
I have a stainless steel hose from Garret Wade. It is the only type of hose that will not kink. Ever. I have tried them all.
Aqua Joe and brass quick disconnects at faucets. 100ft hose, no kinks. Melanor quick disconnection with Melanor spray head. You'll see the hose is allowed to rotate at the connections. Impossible to mess up.
Wow Allyn that Citra Blue really came in nice. Well done! How's that CitraZoy looking?
Coming along very slowly.
Hey Allen, I purchased a 18ld bag of prodiamine granular. The app rate is unclear, and I don't even see a spreader setting. Help?

@@TheLawnCareNut thank you sir
Florida has got Hot these last days!!!
Chemicals. I love a good lawn experiment
I had the same hose and it kinked also. The only good thing it rolls up nice with a hose reel. I don't think it's possible to make a true kink free hose
Can you do a video about well water rust prevention through a chemical injection/syphon system? Thanks brother ;)
Fert and frequent mow is definitely more enjoyable to see it recover.
Hey Alan. Question. Is it too late in the season to aerate? I'm in michigan.
yes wait until fall now, all good
I have Hoselink, at least I dont have to wind it up
@thelawncarenut you guys should sell those cheap hose end sprayers! Please!

First off, great channel and content. Question: I watch a few lawn channels, and you guys always mention Bermuda grass but never mentioned kentucky blue. I was wondering if one is better than the other?
Hes in Sarasota Fla..We dont grow Kentucky Blue in southern Fla..It would burn up
Interesting.
Neighbor Iawn. And freedom factory.
And the plants too.
I’m really starting to loathe my empire zoysia. It’s a constant chemistry battle. Too much rain, fungus, not enough rain, dormant/dead. Bermuda filled in immediately where I fixed bug problem dead patches, and is now thriving and green. Wish I went with Bermuda instead of the zoysia, it just handles the sun sooo much better.
Hay Allen do you like ur EGO MOWER do you have an review on it I’m thinking of getting an electric mower just wondering if you like it or not if you can help that would be awesome
yes I do - I have the aluminum deck model - it works great
@@TheLawnCareNut u got a video on it or review
I have an Ego mower, 3rd season and I use it in addition to my paid lawn service for the 2nd weekly cut. I love not breathing fumes and it has great lights for evening mows when it’s a little cooler out to avoid the heat of the day. I’m sure my neighbors think I’m crazy to mow in addition to my paid service, but it’s great exercise and I enjoy it. You won’t be disappointed.
Fourplay helps w dry spots ! Made me laugh
I’d like to see you do a new or something interesting to you on how to fix your lawn. Make it your passion project again
Number two mow the lawn fertilizer
I break the tab off the hose end sprayers lol.
Bring out the chemicals. I want to see what kind of success is possible pushing back bermuda.
I vote for getting the St. A and Bermuda out of the zoysia. Maybe adding zoysia plugs to expedite the recovery?
Why would it be bad to mow the two yards, with different grass types, with the same mower?
You need to put that zero-G hose in a reel to get the best from it.
agreed
I wanna see the allett reel cut the CB STA. Wanna see the stripe action
Oh you will see it soon!
