Silver Cymbal, i have seen many do lawn care videos but Your the Dopest dude in Lawn Care. I watch every video you post because there is no smoke and mirrors with your content. I have the 5 Gallon Blue backpack sprayer by Jacto you reviewed in another video. Thank you Silver, Thank You!
@@BornBeatz Thank you very much, the Jacto is a great sprayer. I like the Sprayers plug due to the better cost but the Jacto is absolutely amazing, but does cost a little more. Thanks for the kind comment.
please i have a question with the trimmers : you gave this model of Makita XRU09PT1 18V X2 (36V) LXT however i think it is discontinue and they are now selling this model XRU15PT1 18V X2 (36V) LXT. what is the difference or they are the same and do the same job
More and more, your channel is my 'go-to' channel for everything to do with taking care of my yard. Your videos are clear, concise, and well articulated. Thank you so much for the effort you put into the video production and how much you benefit the community of lawn lovers.
That is very kind of you, I love making the videos and they do take a lot of time but I love interacting with folks and that they actually actually help people. Thanks again
Just wanted to say thank you for all your lawn care videos. I discovered you a couple weeks ago and having been watching these videos religiously lol. I really have learned a lot and am getting passionate about having a beautiful lawn for the first time in my life. My favorite thing is that all your suggestions are simple and do not require too much time. Your tips are doable and not overwhelming. Thanks again!
Love your vids. They are direct, to the point and doable for most of us. The lawn is the domain of most guys and many of us struggle to get it the way we want it to look without breaking the bank. Your vids are very informative.
In Oz, I use Seamungus by Neutrog all year round. I also use Bailey's 3.1.1. 4 times a year. But during the summer water restrictions, I have to use a hand held hose to water in between watering days. No sprinklers are allowed on non-watering days.
Great video once again! All the top tips right here in one convenient quick video! I just love the way you explain things. I started using humic and sea kelp last year I’m going to be throwing that down heavy this year after the big renovation last year. The lawn is totally different now from a year ago. Gotta keep up the care routine so it doesn’t slip back to the way it was. Oh and for anyone wondering, tenacity really is amazing. Kind of expensive but it’s like a wonder-weed-killer!
By far the best videos on lawn and environs on YT! IF your new to Silver he is the best and most articulate at explaining the WHY and HOW of lawn work.
Moved into a new place last year with a really weedy lawn and didn’t aerate or overseed. The one thing I did have time to do was wait until the Bermuda had gone dormant and then spray tenacity like crazy. This spring I sprayed once more before the Bermuda woke up. Already have seen a MASSIVE change. The lawn keeps getting better daily as the grasses that were there are growing in and filling the lawn. I really want a fescue lawn but for now just getting weeds under control has been wonderful.
2 weeks in, and grass is growing well. I have some areas where grass has not grown, but will address that after the first cut. I know that as weeds die, it can leave voided areas. Will update after cut. On another note, I’m doing the lawn while trying to combat voles! Man’s adversary in the battle for a great lawn!
Moles are something we don't get here I have heard they are not good though! Glad its working. I generally find that weeds here and there won't leave much holes since the grass will fill in with regular fertilization. But yes you can add a little seed and spot treat those areas. This is a simple thing I do to fix the spots from my dog. Its so quick and mos of the time it works great. ua-cam.com/video/H9H9_x8EZnY/v-deo.html
I used the tenacity recently after watching your video about how to use it. Just applied a bit more since newer weeds are popping up. Our grass burned after last summer’s heat (we don’t have sprinklers) so we will try your diy sprinkler system, thank you!
I picked up Tenacity after seeing your video on how to use it. I applied it without any surfactant at first and didn't really see a lot of difference. None of the clover/crabgrass turned white initially. I ordered some of the blue dye and the surfactant and went at it two weeks later with a little higher concentration of Tenacity. About the third day I still didn't see a lot and was starting to doubt how well it work. But the fourth day and fifth day EVERYTHING I sprayed had turned white and it has been another week and there is almost not trace of clover and only clumps of crabgrass to address. It took a few days but Tenacity was no joke! And for anybody using the blue dye...be careful with it as it too is pretty strong. As a wall in my garage will be a reminder of that for a while. Gonna look into the sea kelp and humeric acid next.
Live your videos. Always super helpful and you use things everyone can get and I changed my whole lawn in one season following your videos.keep me coming....
Thank you. I appreciate it, it was pretty rough when I moved here and no matter what size or shape your yard is in you can do a lot. This was what it was like before. ua-cam.com/video/c54WSOI-MMc/v-deo.html
THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge with us! I've been following your channel since last summer. This year I finally took the plunge and invested in a number of things you recommended, including the weeding killing solutions and as well as the sea kelp and humic acid you linked above. The question I have for you is - how much time should I allow between the Tenacity, sea kelp, and humic acid treatments? And in what order would you do those in?
Thank you very much for the nice words, I appreciate it. Those are good questions. I would always apply Sea Kelp at least 2 weeks apart from other liquid products like sea kelp. That leaves enough time for the right absorption. Humic acid (dry) really can go on anytime but just for good sense, I would apply it at leats a few days apart from other sprays. Hope this helps
Good Day, thank you soooooo much for sharing your wealth of knowledge. We moved into our home last April, and the lawn provided by the builder was terrible, not to mention the soil (actually Southern MD clay and debris). Not having a clue about the process resulted in a very high level of frustration, blood pressure, and an accompanying water bill. Then I stumbled across your videos, which are very comprehensive and informative. I had a company do the plugs and I over seeded with Black Beauty. Then I waited, and waited.......with the anticipation of a soon to be new parent I was excited to see the transformation unfold. Now I have GRASS EVERYWHERE!!!, thank you again. I am especially excited to step aside and let God water the lawn for me.....Question; will you be willing to share here collectively or in a future video, the frequency of all the applications over the course of a year? Also, is there a specific granular fertilizer brand that you used in this video? Again, I am so grateful for the shared knowledge that i have become an unofficial Silver Cymbal ambassador telling as many as I can when I can to check out your site and subscribe. Many blessings to you and your family, and please continue to stay safe. James
Another great video. Please include a schedule and timing plan in an update. Just got the 105ex sprayer. Not sure about what they want you to lubricate with the grease. Any insight appreciated
Good evening, first thank you for all your expertise and experience that you share. I have a lawn that is full of weed, i would like to know how many days should i wait before aerating and a plating new seeds after applying tenacity. Thank you very much
Thank you, it was a fun project and really works. The video for that is here ua-cam.com/video/-hfIMgxZpVQ/v-deo.html and based on comments and messages a few hundred people have built them and seem to like them as much as I did.
Great video! Bought a house in Southern NH last fall (didn't get to core aerate or seed in the fall) but seeding this weekend. You have so many good tips, but I struggle on the timing. Since we are in the same region, can you let me know your timing. Fertizile every 6 weeks, etc. Tenacity weeds when you see them. This would be a HUGE help!
So what kind of fertilizer do you recommend? I did the weed control and literally fixed all my grass thanks to you! Not that’s it’s a new year I’m curious on what fertilizer do I start with? Do you I use the acid? Or what any videos you can recommend that you’ve always covered?
he replied this to another comment: I like to the the kelp about a month into spring to help the plants along, then when daytime temps are over 85 or super hot I will apply it monthly. Even if you apply less you still get benefits so some is actually still much better than none. For humic acid, if using the concentrated granular I showed here once a year in spring is fine, or if you have very poor soil which is what I had before I will do 2-3 times a year for the first year and then once a year after. Hope this helps
It is time to apply scotts triple action to to fight onslsught of crabgrass and other weeds. I'll do the sea kelp treatment and granular fertilizer later. I like your vids
Hello Thank you so much for the very informative videos! I need a video about how to fertilize the lawn without burning it , it is usually happing to me!
Quick Quest - Im in the middle of Killing all weeds (Tenacity, Surfactant, Dye etc) and my lawn is uneven - Im leveling the lawn next with Topsoil(no sand) - Do I at the same time - Apply My Perennial Rye Grass Blend - or wait and Level and Water lawn first - then apply my Perennial Rye Grass?
Thank you very much. I use the dry Humic acid 1-2 times per year. Usually once in the early spring and once mid season. If you have reasonably good soil, once per year should be a great addition.
Really enjoy your video's and Ryan Knorr you both have given me so many different avenues to try. We (wife and myself) are new home owners, we are about 6 months in and the lawn is an absolute disaster. I'd say it was 60/40% weeds to grass. Last year I sprayed down Tenacity but was not able to get new seed down. This year we are probably 50/50 weeds to grass. About 3 weeks ago i applied Tenacity again and a week later hit it with Scott's 2 in 1 weed and feed. I was pretty fortunate that we've gotten a bunch of rain since the 2 in 1 application so the grass that is there has really greened up and thickened. I have a million questions but really it boils down to 1. What should my timeline expectations be for moving my lawn from 50/50 to something like 75/25 grass to weeds? a bit of info for you, i live in michigan and am on a pretty consistent water, fertilizer program. The lawn was neglected for years by the pervious owners so my soil is fairly compacted. My plan is to get core aeration in the fall and overseed then. I would try and seed earlier but I will probably stick with the 2 in 1 with the pre-emergent in it in order to try and kill off as many weeds as I can before they start. I also plan on another application of tenacity so I can kill off as many of the weeds as possible.
Outstanding video! Yes, the Humic DG is a great product! Will look at that Kelp. Thanks!! Also, Tenacity is only for cool season grasses. It could really harm active growing bermuda. :)
I have been following you on your renovation projects. I live in Virginia Beach I managed to control my soil PH, I sprayed tenacity twice last fall and over seeded turf type long fescue made by the rebels and put some starter fertilizer. I can see the results sadly a big rain fall came right after the oversseding and I now have some bald spots. I did put down some preemergent Anderson’s barricade product and I sprayed some tenacity for the weeds that made it through. I can tell there is weeds enough for me to spray the whole yard as opposed to spot treat. I placed barricade a week a go, is it a bad idea to overseed this spring? I want to use the humid acid from Anderson’s and some fertilizer. My hesitation is that I’m going to be doing all this to help my weeds grow stronger. If I could grade my lawn I would say I have a solid 70 out of 100. But what you said in your video at the end has me hesitating. I don’t know if my lawn is decent enough to go do the humic and fertilizer. Please share your opinion so I go head and buy these two for my lawn. Anderson has humic acid but they also have fertilizer with humic acid. Do you recommend getting them together or separate? The Andersons PGF Complete 16-4-8 Fertilizer with Humic DG is what I had in mind unless you think doing the process separate is best.
Love it I watched many of your other videos as well this is a huge especially since I just started doing treatment on other people’s lawns.i go to site one they have the high quality Leacock fertilizer they told me one of the first things I should buy is backpack sprayer still have to get one..anyways never used humic time to start..
Hi Sir, what month i should to use Tenacity weed control to my lawn, i bought all items you list for weed control. But i do not what month i should use and I am living in Lawrenceville , GA. Thank you so much
My first application will be barricade dg and Amp XC lime which has humic. Would you put a second round of barricade dg 6 weeks later? What do you put down for your second application?
Love your videos!!! You are the best! I was planning to apply humic acid to my lawn, but unfortunately, the only type I was able to find here in Canada is Green Planet one, and it comes in liquid form. Do you think I can get the same result with this type of humic acid? How often should it be applied? Thanks,
please i have a question with the trimmers : you gave this model of Makita XRU09PT1 18V X2 (36V) LXT however i think it is discontinue and they are now selling this model XRU15PT1 18V X2 (36V) LXT. what is the difference or they are the same and do the same job
I've decide this summer that I'm going to retake my lawn and your videos have been a great help. What granular fertilizer do you recommending if I am going to try overseeding?
Hi, last Fall I reseeded a fairly large area of our front lawn. The grass came in ok but not super thick. I applied Anderson’s Humic DG a month ago and a Anderson’s granular pre-emergent two weeks ago. I bought Lesco fertilizer, but I have leftover Scott’s starter fertilizer and wonder if I should use that instead the area I seeded since it doesn’t appear to have matured yet. I am also considering overseeing that area again.
Bob Ziadie starter fert is ok. Will help promote root growth. I’d throw that down. But if wait til you get a couple mows in. If you’ve already done that I’d throw it down. Did you aerate before you reseeded last fall? If not I’d rent a fire aerator this year, then do it again. Good luck!
My challenge has been that in fall if I plant grass seed then leaves fall and picking them up with a tractor destroys the whole lawn. So every year don't matter what I do I destroy my back yard. It also gets too wet so that dosen't help at all. Right now it's a muddy mess.
Great content Silver! Loved your vid of rejuvenation doing airation, overseed, tenacity... What fertilizer blend should be used after the lawn is established for 1 year? Thx, keep up great vids. -sdub
What order should I do these procedures in? I want to mow, remove weeds, and thatch (using the GreenWorks machine that you recommended). I feel like there is a good or most appropriate way to do these steps if I want to fix my lawn and backyard. Also for my backyard, I may want to level it (add soil to the ends of each side since they slope down), where would I put this levelling step too? Thanks.
I bought the Tenacity combo you recommended. Looking forward to see the results. Would you prioritize sea kelp or the humic acid? Also when using SK and HA, do I still put down my usual fertilizer?
@@Troy-Echo Thanks, I appreciate your input. Unfortunately, I have to buy them before I can read the label. I probably will. If not this season than next. Do you by any chance know of a good method for testing for the right levels of nitrogen, phosphorus or potassium in soil?
I live in Southwest Missouri. Grass will not grow in the shade under several of the trees in my yard. I've tried dense shade grass seed but it still will not grow. Any suggestions?
I assume the fertilizer that you put into the spreader was pgf complete. Can you give me your thoughts on it or maybe make a video about it? Lots of information out there that’s all over the place...The one thing I like about your videos is you’re no BS and get straight to the facts, good or bad. Appreciate the channel and your information sir 👍
Thank you, there are a few ways to do it. This was one mower I use to do it ua-cam.com/video/UY3xfSbzpYk/v-deo.html I will have some other videos to show some less expensive alternatives this Spring.
Could you give us the mix rate on the sea kelp per 1000? I can’t seem to find it on the bottle. Shows for plants and garden. Thank and keep putting out great quality videos.
Sure, check out my main vid to see the mix, how to and how I apply it. You can use it alone or with the formula I made. ua-cam.com/video/-tsfC4FkNoQ/v-deo.html
First of all live your channy. I've learned so much over the past year. I followed your Tenacity + aerator treatment plan and my grass looks a lot better this year, however it still has weeds throughout, but a lot less then before. Should I still apply sea kelp and humic acid or wait until next year when I've controlled the weeds a little more?
Thats good to here and its working for sure. I would definitely treat the weeds first and this will result in fewer next year too, and gets better each time. Give the weed control 3 weeks total to do its thing and then go to the Kelp and humic acid.
Its an Andersons SR2000 super expensive I got it used, its around 15 years old. You find the, used sometimes but they are really great. They have an LCO-1000 model that ios more affordable, I would say like the Lesco. hey are all really good but if you ever find a used one definitely buy it for sure. I did an old video on it: ua-cam.com/video/IUvkOZF8Et8/v-deo.html
Silver Cymbal thanks. The lesco one I have is very similar to yours just not with the fold down guard. That’s what I want the most on it. Edit: just watched your video on it, and it’s a lot nicer!
@@meadowviewlawncarellc8079 I believe Lesco has an optional side deflector for their models too. Might be a good add on. I always seem to have something on one side of my yard so for me I can't really get by without one.
Thanks for the tips. I've been using humic acid and kelp from the green county line. I like the sprayer tip on your battery sprayer. Where can I get one?
One thing im looking for alternative for tenacity. its great product. yet herbsicide / chemical. is there a natural / organic alternative. please share !
I have done what I showed on my videos over a dozen times with great results. If you look through my "ugly lawn" video you will see hundreds of comments from others who have tried it.
Thank you Silver Cymbal, I love how easy to follow and concise your videos are! I’ve ordered the Humic Acid through your link but wanted to ask you. Do I have to water it in right after, or time it so that I do it on a rainy day?
Sadly a lot of other channels douse their lawns with iron and supplements that are not cost sustainable for regular people and then share their "miracle" skills and rarely include these items. For me it's the real deal and real grass.
@@SilverCymbal Understood, that's an interesting perspective. I have observed that many popular residential lawn care channels seem to favor cultivation of turf that is excessively dark green in color without acknowledging that this is not necessarily healthy for the plant or always sustainable for the average homeowner to undertake. Furthermore, there are plenty of examples of sports fields, golf courses, and English lawns that aren't dark green in color yet are exceptionally healthy and aesthetically attractive
What kind of grass do you have? I have a mix of Turf Type Tall Fesue and Lesco rye grass in my front and side yard about 10,000 sqft. I have a bare section in my back yard about 3000 sqft that I just need grass, nothing fancy. What do you think about Kentucky 31 fescue?
Thank you for watching please *LIKE* and *SUBSCRIBE* The products I used in the video are in the description if you would like to know more. Thanks and stay safe.

Great to hear, its good stuff 😊
Excellent video and great sprinkler!
Thank you, that sprinkler was a lot of fun and really works.
Great info! I like granular much better than liquid!
Thanks for another great video. I’m here in MA also and your videos have helped me manage my yard much better.

It is time to apply scotts triple action to to fight onslsught of crabgrass and other weeds. I'll do the sea kelp treatment and granular fertilizer later. I like your vids
Hello
Thank you so much for the very informative videos!
I need a video about how to fertilize the lawn without burning it , it is usually happing to me!
Best channel for lawns for sure. Are any of these things bad for dogs? My main reason for a good lawn is my pup
Quick Quest - Im in the middle of Killing all weeds (Tenacity, Surfactant, Dye etc) and my lawn is uneven - Im leveling the lawn next with Topsoil(no sand) - Do I at the same time - Apply My Perennial Rye Grass Blend - or wait and Level and Water lawn first - then apply my Perennial Rye Grass?
How often do you use kelp and humid thanks again for all the time and effort you put into your video's very much enjoy every one. Stay well God bless
*Humic
Thank you very much. I use the dry Humic acid 1-2 times per year. Usually once in the early spring and once mid season. If you have reasonably good soil, once per year should be a great addition.
@@SilverCymbal thank you so much and the same with the kelp
Really enjoy your video's and Ryan Knorr you both have given me so many different avenues to try. We (wife and myself) are new home owners, we are about 6 months in and the lawn is an absolute disaster. I'd say it was 60/40% weeds to grass. Last year I sprayed down Tenacity but was not able to get new seed down. This year we are probably 50/50 weeds to grass. About 3 weeks ago i applied Tenacity again and a week later hit it with Scott's 2 in 1 weed and feed. I was pretty fortunate that we've gotten a bunch of rain since the 2 in 1 application so the grass that is there has really greened up and thickened. I have a million questions but really it boils down to 1. What should my timeline expectations be for moving my lawn from 50/50 to something like 75/25 grass to weeds?
a bit of info for you, i live in michigan and am on a pretty consistent water, fertilizer program. The lawn was neglected for years by the pervious owners so my soil is fairly compacted. My plan is to get core aeration in the fall and overseed then. I would try and seed earlier but I will probably stick with the 2 in 1 with the pre-emergent in it in order to try and kill off as many weeds as I can before they start. I also plan on another application of tenacity so I can kill off as many of the weeds as possible.
Your property is beautiful...love your content.
Another great video
Outstanding video! Yes, the Humic DG is a great product! Will look at that Kelp. Thanks!! Also, Tenacity is only for cool season grasses. It could really harm active growing bermuda. :)
I wish I had known this before I watched his video on Tenacity and then killed 20,000 square feet of Bermuda....
how do i tell what type of grass I have?
@@mcs127 You could try a plant app on your phone or pull a few blades up and take to your local extension office or ask landscaper.
Anything similar those of us with Bermuda can use safely?
Rohit Rai I like 2-4-D or Celsius for post emergent herbicide. Both on Amazon. See my site, SunnyBermuda.com
I love your videos!
They help a lot!
Thank you very much
I have been following you on your renovation projects. I live in Virginia Beach I managed to control my soil PH, I sprayed tenacity twice last fall and over seeded turf type long fescue made by the rebels and put some starter fertilizer. I can see the results sadly a big rain fall came right after the oversseding and I now have some bald spots. I did put down some preemergent Anderson’s barricade product and I sprayed some tenacity for the weeds that made it through. I can tell there is weeds enough for me to spray the whole yard as opposed to spot treat. I placed barricade a week a go, is it a bad idea to overseed this spring?
I want to use the humid acid from Anderson’s and some fertilizer. My hesitation is that I’m going to be doing all this to help my weeds grow stronger. If I could grade my lawn I would say I have a solid 70 out of 100. But what you said in your video at the end has me hesitating. I don’t know if my lawn is decent enough to go do the humic and fertilizer. Please share your opinion so I go head and buy these two for my lawn. Anderson has humic acid but they also have fertilizer with humic acid. Do you recommend getting them together or separate? The Andersons PGF Complete 16-4-8 Fertilizer with Humic DG is what I had in mind unless you think doing the process separate is best.
Not at all. You can overseed in Spring. I just released a video on it that may help: ua-cam.com/video/nAVDDePLoNU/v-deo.html
Love it I watched many of your other videos as well this is a huge especially since I just started doing treatment on other people’s lawns.i go to site one they have the high quality Leacock fertilizer they told me one of the first things I should buy is backpack sprayer still have to get one..anyways never used humic time to start..
Hello, how often to apply the Liquid Kelp and Humic Acid ? I applied in early April and the results are amazing. Thank you..
Instead of mixing Liquid kelp and humic acid, is it okay to use Root Ruckus + Thrive. It has humic acid and kelp.
Thanks for your video. Which granular fertilizer do you recommend for cool season grass and how often do you apply it?
Will I still benefit from this after my grass is beginning to brown from the intense heat?
Thanks for this excellent information!
Hello great videos thank u. I don’t know if I missed it in this video but How much do u water?
Would it be helpful, or counterproductive, to mix the kelp and humid acid to spray at the same time?
Granular humic acid...had no idea about this. Currently using liquid and really hate the sprayers I have.
Hi Sir, what month i should to use Tenacity weed control to my lawn, i bought all items you list for weed control. But i do not what month i should use and I am living in Lawrenceville , GA. Thank you so much
My first application will be barricade dg and Amp XC lime which has humic. Would you put a second round of barricade dg 6 weeks later? What do you put down for your second application?
Great video! Could you tell me when to apply these products
This might be helpful: ua-cam.com/video/eWdsIUBYf6I/v-deo.html
Love your videos!!! You are the best!
I was planning to apply humic acid to my lawn, but unfortunately, the only type I was able to find here in Canada is Green Planet one, and it comes in liquid form.
Do you think I can get the same result with this type of humic acid?
How often should it be applied?
Thanks,
Thanks for the videos. Can you use a hose end sprayer for the kelp mixture?
Another great video!
Thank you
sea kelp did wonders for my lawn!!
That's great to hear! I love the stuff.
please i have a question with the trimmers : you gave this model of Makita XRU09PT1 18V X2 (36V) LXT however i think it is discontinue and they are now selling this model XRU15PT1 18V X2 (36V) LXT. what is the difference or they are the same and do the same job
My lawn is in super bad condition, I just used Milorganite... when should I apply Liquid Kelp and Humic Acid? Please respond. Thanks
Every month, but apply it during late afternoon before dusk.
Is humic acid the same thing as milorganite? Can they be used interchangeably?
i love this channel
Very kind of you, thank you
What is that adjustable nozzle you are using? Have the same sprayer and it is amazing! Thanks for the tips 🤙🏼
Its just the one that was included with the Sprayers plus. Works great. amzn.to/2Xz8pRN
I've decide this summer that I'm going to retake my lawn and your videos have been a great help. What granular fertilizer do you recommending if I am going to try overseeding?
Hi, last Fall I reseeded a fairly large area of our front lawn. The grass came in ok but not super thick. I applied Anderson’s Humic DG a month ago and a Anderson’s granular pre-emergent two weeks ago. I bought Lesco fertilizer, but I have leftover Scott’s starter fertilizer and wonder if I should use that instead the area I seeded since it doesn’t appear to have matured yet. I am also considering overseeing that area again.
Bob Ziadie dont overseer if you threw a preemergent. Wait til fall again. The seed won’t grow.
@@h20fowler2012 ok, thanks. What about the starter fertilizer?
Bob Ziadie starter fert is ok. Will help promote root growth. I’d throw that down. But if wait til you get a couple mows in. If you’ve already done that I’d throw it down. Did you aerate before you reseeded last fall? If not I’d rent a fire aerator this year, then do it again. Good luck!
Core aerator
@@h20fowler2012 I have not aerated this spring. I did in the fall.
Ah serenity now......plus this year, gawd willing, the Tenacity. Clover and crabgrass will NOT defeat us!
At least we have a cure for crabgrass! Stay healthy and safe my friend
Silver Cymbal to all our Mass friends from NY 🙏🏼 xo
My challenge has been that in fall if I plant grass seed then leaves fall and picking them up with a tractor destroys the whole lawn. So every year don't matter what I do I destroy my back yard. It also gets too wet so that dosen't help at all. Right now it's a muddy mess.
Bets best is to try to make a trail or path and only use that. I use to have a similar situation and that is the only way to beat it.
Great content Silver! Loved your vid of rejuvenation doing airation, overseed, tenacity...
What fertilizer blend should be used after the lawn is established for 1 year? Thx, keep up great vids. -sdub
What order should I do these procedures in? I want to mow, remove weeds, and thatch (using the GreenWorks machine that you recommended). I feel like there is a good or most appropriate way to do these steps if I want to fix my lawn and backyard. Also for my backyard, I may want to level it (add soil to the ends of each side since they slope down), where would I put this levelling step too? Thanks.
I bought the Tenacity combo you recommended. Looking forward to see the results. Would you prioritize sea kelp or the humic acid? Also when using SK and HA, do I still put down my usual fertilizer?
I’ve done the same process and I’m looking forward to seeing results. The hardest part is keeping my kids off the lawn
@@Troy-Echo Thanks, I appreciate your input. Unfortunately, I have to buy them before I can read the label. I probably will. If not this season than next. Do you by any chance know of a good method for testing for the right levels of nitrogen, phosphorus or potassium in soil?
I live in Southwest Missouri. Grass will not grow in the shade under several of the trees in my yard. I've tried dense shade grass seed but it still will not grow. Any suggestions?
Such a shame that I can't find these products in the UK. I spend far too much time running around my large yard every day with a tiny watering can.
I assume the fertilizer that you put into the spreader was pgf complete. Can you give me your thoughts on it or maybe make a video about it? Lots of information out there that’s all over the place...The one thing I like about your videos is you’re no BS and get straight to the facts, good or bad. Appreciate the channel and your information sir 👍
Should I aeroate my lawn before adding the numeric acid?
Beautiful yard
Thank you for the kind comment
How do you get lines in your grass
Thank you, there are a few ways to do it. This was one mower I use to do it ua-cam.com/video/UY3xfSbzpYk/v-deo.html I will have some other videos to show some less expensive alternatives this Spring.
Going to try kelp this year.
Could you give us the mix rate on the sea kelp per 1000? I can’t seem to find it on the bottle. Shows for plants and garden. Thank and keep putting out great quality videos.
Sure, check out my main vid to see the mix, how to and how I apply it. You can use it alone or with the formula I made. ua-cam.com/video/-tsfC4FkNoQ/v-deo.html
First of all live your channy. I've learned so much over the past year. I followed your Tenacity + aerator treatment plan and my grass looks a lot better this year, however it still has weeds throughout, but a lot less then before. Should I still apply sea kelp and humic acid or wait until next year when I've controlled the weeds a little more?
Thats good to here and its working for sure. I would definitely treat the weeds first and this will result in fewer next year too, and gets better each time. Give the weed control 3 weeks total to do its thing and then go to the Kelp and humic acid.
@@SilverCymbal Thank you!
Great video 👍
Thank you
What kind of fertilizer spreader is that? Looks a lot nicer than my expensive lesco one.
Its an Andersons SR2000 super expensive I got it used, its around 15 years old. You find the, used sometimes but they are really great. They have an LCO-1000 model that ios more affordable, I would say like the Lesco. hey are all really good but if you ever find a used one definitely buy it for sure. I did an old video on it: ua-cam.com/video/IUvkOZF8Et8/v-deo.html
Silver Cymbal thanks. The lesco one I have is very similar to yours just not with the fold down guard. That’s what I want the most on it. Edit: just watched your video on it, and it’s a lot nicer!
@@meadowviewlawncarellc8079 I believe Lesco has an optional side deflector for their models too. Might be a good add on. I always seem to have something on one side of my yard so for me I can't really get by without one.
Silver Cymbal I’m gonna check into it. Thanks!
Beautiful lawn👍Tfs
I appreciate that thank you
Thanks for the tips. I've been using humic acid and kelp from the green county line. I like the sprayer tip on your battery sprayer. Where can I get one?
Thank you very much. The backpack one I used is here: amzn.to/2IslQIJ
How far apart these applications should be done or can they be done at the same time
One thing im looking for alternative for tenacity. its great product. yet herbsicide / chemical. is there a natural / organic alternative. please share !
With organic weed controls they aren't selective but this works very well ua-cam.com/video/CZ2FArMJesA/v-deo.html
Thankyou. I made this mixture already :) . Im looking for alternative tencity. For weeds in lawn :(
Ok this year im going to follow your method, last year I did not doit.
Im curious if im going to have the same result like your loan .
I have done what I showed on my videos over a dozen times with great results. If you look through my "ugly lawn" video you will see hundreds of comments from others who have tried it.
Wow, all the information is good about what to use, such as sea kelp, humic acid, and tenacity... I'll definitely put those on my shopping list!👍
Thank you Silver Cymbal, I love how easy to follow and concise your videos are! I’ve ordered the Humic Acid through your link but wanted to ask you. Do I have to water it in right after, or time it so that I do it on a rainy day?
Your lawn is really light green, more than most
Sadly a lot of other channels douse their lawns with iron and supplements that are not cost sustainable for regular people and then share their "miracle" skills and rarely include these items. For me it's the real deal and real grass.
@@SilverCymbal Understood, that's an interesting perspective. I have observed that many popular residential lawn care channels seem to favor cultivation of turf that is excessively dark green in color without acknowledging that this is not necessarily healthy for the plant or always sustainable for the average homeowner to undertake. Furthermore, there are plenty of examples of sports fields, golf courses, and English lawns that aren't dark green in color yet are exceptionally healthy and aesthetically attractive
What kind of grass do you have? I have a mix of Turf Type Tall Fesue and Lesco rye grass in my front and side yard about 10,000 sqft. I have a bare section in my back yard about 3000 sqft that I just need grass, nothing fancy. What do you think about Kentucky 31 fescue?
Does your advice stay the same for florida yards and weeds? I have a mix of burmuda, bahia, and st. Augustine in my yard as well as a bunch of weeds
Great tips, thank you.
Thank you
What setting do you use on your broadcast spreader to apply the Black Beauty grass seed and what setting do you use for the humid acid?
What brand and model of broadcast spreader do you use?
