The yard really improved over the years 🙌🏾🤣. This was the first spring after the fall renovation. Some grass grew, some grass took its time and I had to patch fix some areas. Thank you for your support
I just started watching your journey yesterday and already caught up! I have to say that you are a cool dude and really appreciate your approach and outlook! Cheers man!
Thanks man I appreciate it I'm just enjoying myself and teaching some of the things I learned over time. I'm still learning new things and experimenting. Trying to make my property more scenic
Just put my application down as well... Iove that "all the way up" music add! Let's go. We appreciate all that in the Metro Detroit area! Dang your spreader is super clean...let me clean mine 😆
Hey one more question...first of all my lawn is greatly improved. I wish I could send you a pic. It's been raining like crazy in Orlando. How do I stop this mushrooms 🍄 in my lawn ? Thanks brother..looking for your response
Mushrooms popping up in the lawn is not a bad thing. That shows your lawn is rich in organic matter but if you want to slow Mushrooms down you can spray a fungicide on the lawn. I use bioadvanced you can find it in home depot and lowes. I'm glad your lawn has greatly improved keep up the good work. All it takes is a little TLC. Thank you for your support and watching my videos I appreciate it
so, I put Milorganite down Sat. thinking it was gonna rain, I didn't water it in. Same for Sunday, Monday we got a monsoon and have at least 40% chances for the rest of the week. Did I waste my money, will this product still work? thank you!
Hi! I’ve been watching all your content as I’m trying to treat my own lawn this year! I ❤️ your content😌 As I put down weed and feed today I’m not too sure when to overseed my lawn and also apply the Milorganite. Any suggestions? Oh and how often do you apply the Milorganite?
Thank you I appreciate the support. The best time to overseed your lawn is early spring or early fall when the temps are cooler. I apply milorganite about 4 times a season May, June, July August.
Darryl, I put milo and tenacity down last week. The weeds I saw coming in one section are dying out How should I repair? Do I dig the weeds up then add dirt and seed? Thanks again
@@LawnAmateur thanks that's what I'll do. I also noticed a spot that looks silver.. I'm gonna monitor to if it's just a lack of water or fungus. I trimmed the Japanese maple back so it could lack of water.
@@LawnAmateur i haven't put anything down as far as fungus. Thus I am only using Milo and the 2 tenacity 2x. I'm trying to make sure my watering is right. I saw some mushrooms in the back so I'm not watering that late anymore. The front mainly gets all the sun and the back the neighbor tree messes with my full sun lol
I checked this morning. It didn't look like fungus but appears to be just little water. I had to remember that area was getting little sun because the rose bushes and Japanese maple. I've cut everything back I'll put some dirt and seed in the area hopefully today which should bring back everything.. and my sprinkler is now able to hit that area cause the tree is trimmed up. Thanks for being able to help as always. I'll send you before and after pics
Nice 👍🏼 getting ready ! ... I actually have a few bags that I will be testing for the first time , I did see some saying that are some factors that can be bad for the grass but I just found out about this just recent so I guess their are other things that need to be added to the grass besides this so you get really good results plus you have a healthier soil ..great video my man stay safe ! .. Can wait to see the results 🙂👍🏼
I just dropped the Milo down yesterday as well! Ordered some (GS Plant Foods) Humic, Kelp, and Green Envy. I will let you know how it goes and if the product is any good.
Darryl, I'm gonna put some Milo down within the next 2 weeks. Also, I want to do my 2nd tenacity round before it gets too hot. Is it okay to lay both down together? Everyone loves my lawn... all thanks to your coaching.
@@LawnAmateur perfect.. when i look at it I'm so proud because it was a lot of work and I did it myself. The little holes i mentioned are filling in too. I did a 2nd seed with dirt as I previously mentioned.. and your right sometimes some seedlings grown faster than others.. i can't wait to see this month's water bill lol. All for the greater cause lol
@@LawnAmateur i have a friend who put his another meter that's not filtered to water the grass because his water bill was 400. He said because he was on the same line as the house. Now that he has another meter which is unfiltered his bill is considerably lower.
@@LawnAmateur I put 200 pounds of triple 17 from southern States back first of April. So planning on putting 3 bags of milogranite 32 pound bags next weekend! Subscribe to my channel buddy 👌
Not at the moment but I did use started fertilizer around late February to jump start the growth and root development. Now I'm using Milorganite but I may use another fertilizer soon to prepare the lawn for that summer heat.
Nice man! I have 6000 sqf of grass, i wish i could buy milo but where i live is 15, almost 16 dollars a bag. is getting expensive. Right now in using liquid fertilizer since you can more than 8 apps a gallon.
Oh yea I definitely seen the prices jump up recently. I've purchased my milo in the offseason last season when they were on sale I have more than enough to last me through this season.
This you can apply anytime to your grass when you need that little extra feeding and boost of nitrogen to your grass. The rates are so low that it won't harm your grass. But the main feeding schedule is all the major holidays Memorial day, 4th of July, Labor Day and last feeding Thanksgiving.
Hey Darryl, I just applied milorganite in my front yard 1100 sq ft, the bag says to use 11.5 setting on the same edgegard spreader that you use and in no time I started running out so I set it to 6. Ended up putting down the 32 lbs bag that covers 2500 sq ft over my 1100 sq ft area. You think this will do some damage? What setting do you use? Thanks
No, you can still fertilizer in May just make sure you use the right amount of fertilizer and water it in properly. If you're using Milorganite it has a recommended schedule of when to fertilizer right on the bag.
Milorganite is processed Milwaukee sewage. (Thus the name) I've used this on my lawn for 2 yrs. This year I bagged grass and dumped into my garden compost bin. After a week and some rainfall the bin smelled like poop. The smell is so strong it is disgusting. Lesson learned don't bag the grass and make a pile. Pew pew !
At least 4 times is recommended on the bag but I was applying it 6 times a year especially during summer months because its low on nitrogen so it'll give a nice feed without major growth.
Man totally unrelated to milorganite i literally have bare soil in my FRONT lawn so dry clay concrete I can knock on it and ppl next to me can hear it. I cant wait till my reno. U gonna try kelp?
See you with the black gold Milo.. still waiting for the dang on rain to stop so I can cut and use my detratcher.. before putting down my tenacity... Keep doing your thang... all the way up..
@@LawnAmateur hey Darryl today I was finally able to use my Sun Joe Dethacter lawdy that was so worth the investment. It took a long minute to rake it all up so literally 8pm I was spraying seed, fertilizer then I used the Tenacity stuff. I hope I didn't do too many overlaps since it was dark. Were to get rain tomorrow. The tenacity help line said as long as the stuff is on 3-4 hours before rain it's okay. Also, I put my sprayer on a mist. I was able to use the gallon amount. I did run out of seed on a small section i used 3 lb. In gonna order 7 lbs so that I have enough for a second reseed later. Just wanted to keep you informed of my progress. I didn't put down peat moss I'll go to home depot in the morning to get some.. If there anything I need to do just inform. Thank you and stay safe.
@@LawnAmateur good morning. I just remembered I didn't put dirt down and forgot to mix the seed and fertilizer with the existing dirt. Keep in mind I'm really over seeding I only have a few spots we're i took down to bald. It definitely rained last night and still but I don't know if it's a heavy rain. I'm thinking I'll go to home depot and get a bag of dirt for those small areas. I'll need to see what's out there cause it may have washed away..i hope not. What's your thoughts
@@LawnAmateur I put down dirt and straw so I should be covered.. I'll hit you back in a few weeks to tell you how everything goes.. waiting for those cool air and rain to finish.. be safe my brother
Lol see that's why i watch u i feel like I know u s/o to #badlands big ups going #allthewayup on the #milorganite great content i really enjoyed this video #tunedin per usual. 😁
You're only wasting it because, your grass is already a deep green from the previous fertilizer application, and you're not going to see any difference.
Even though Milogranite is organic, a lawn can still get too much nitrogen in the soil and can damage and kill your grass, whether if the fertilizer is organic or synthetic. Why fertilize a lawn when it doesn't need it, which can be a waste of product, and possibly causing damage in the process. Generally, fertilizer is recommended to be applied four times a year. Anything over that amount can be damaging. You don't want to overdo it because, it will do your lawn more harm than good when you're over-fertilizing. Many people think by Milogranite being organic, they can use it as often as they want, but that is a strong misperception. Too much of anything is not good, and the same goes for organic fertilizer. It's best to apply fertilizer at the recommended time intervals as instructed to get the best results. Also, I advise anybody to get a soil test to know if there are any nutrient deficiencies, or high-level of chemicals in the soil, that need to be corrected, to maintain a healthy lawn. A soil test is crucial for proper lawn care, and the person will know exactly what nutrients their lawn need or doesn't need.

I'm only using milorganite for fertilizer. Are you doing anything extra to feed it?
Not at the moment but I did use started fertilizer around late February to jump start the growth and root development. Now I'm using Milorganite but I may use another fertilizer soon to prepare the lawn for that summer heat.
I was watching another guy channel say it's not good to only use Milo. And to still incorporate your normal fertilizer...
How often do you usual apply Milorganite during a season??
You can apply milorganite 4x a season or as many times as you need to for the season to feed the lawn
Nice man! I have 6000 sqf of grass, i wish i could buy milo but where i live is 15, almost 16 dollars a bag. is getting expensive. Right now in using liquid fertilizer since you can more than 8 apps a gallon.

When are you applying this boss, time of the year and process of your grass?
Looks good, new viewer here just wondering....👊
I think you’re the one I saw whom was adding humic acid I believe, onto the grass and read interesting benefits on that....

No it shouldn't damage the grass but you'll probably get alot of growth. I normally spread the milorganite using 3 1/2 setting
Wow wonder why the bag recommends 11.5, anyhow, thanks for the response.
I would kill to have a yard like this. Mine looks horrible... good job bro
Thanks bro, I appreciate it
Beautiful 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Do you stop fertilizing in May? I’m trying to find out for my Tall a Turf Type Fescue.
No, you can still fertilizer in May just make sure you use the right amount of fertilizer and water it in properly. If you're using Milorganite it has a recommended schedule of when to fertilizer right on the bag.
GREAT VIDEO. VERY COOL. THANK YOU!
Why do you spread this at 3.5 setting when the bag says 11.5?
I actually put the spreader on 15 for this one
Just did mine, had it set for #4 but decided to turn it ALL THE WAY UP.
🤣🤣 thats right
Do u water it in or just apply it and forgot it?
With milorganite it doesn't require to be watered in because it heat activated. But you can lightly water in if you desire to.
@@LawnAmateur ok! Appreciate the the feedback. I’m going put some down on May 1st

we are at march c results ??
Can I just throw some Milo down without anything else as a pre-fert treatment?
Yea you can use milo pretty much any time you want. But if you don't treat your yard for weeds you'll have grass and weeds growing rapidly

You're only wasting it because, your grass is already a deep green from the previous fertilizer application, and you're not going to see any difference.
Adding Milorganite is never a waste it does so much more for the soil alone than synthetic fertilizer can.
Even though Milogranite is organic, a lawn can still get too much nitrogen in the soil and can damage and kill your grass, whether if the fertilizer is organic or synthetic. Why fertilize a lawn when it doesn't need it, which can be a waste of product, and possibly causing damage in the process. Generally, fertilizer is recommended to be applied four times a year.

It's best to apply fertilizer at the recommended time intervals as instructed to get the best results. Also, I advise anybody to get a soil test to know if there are any nutrient deficiencies, or high-level of chemicals in the soil, that need to be corrected, to maintain a healthy lawn.
