Allyn, don't get discouraged by a dbag prof who doesn't have anything to do over the summer vacation and is mad now they have to go back to work. I really enjoy listening to the podcasts while I mow my lawn. The podcasts inspire me to keep going because at the end of the season I get frustrated when I see the crab grass or other weeds in my lawn. I have to bite the bullet and get the sprinkler company to come out next spring and redo some of my sprinklers because I just can't get the watering coverage right. Take care and god bless!
The "philosopher" - if that is really even a "thing" - can simply be dismissed. What's discouraging is the abuse of power that Allyn has picked up on. There's a sugar family in Florida that writes large checks. That influence seems to override things like red tides. Allyn is good at math. Maybe he can come up with the numbers for lawns vs. sugar production. Might even include something about sugar price supports. We all want to pay more for sugar, right? Could be that it's a different "carve out" that Allyn has picked up on. Regardless, becoming jaded is the only rational result from the current situation.
Hey Allyn, never comment on YT videos but I can see the frustration. As someone who has followed for a few years, you have educated me greatly and I can spread that knowledge indirectly to friends and family. So your positive impact reaches maybe more than you can even see. Keep fighting the good fight and don’t let the 1% be the loudest or the main voice you hear. See ya in the lawn man! 💪🏻
Even though I'm an old guy of 74 years old, I continue to look up to you as my mentor when it comes to grass. Been using Bio stimulants forever and they truly make a difference and your stress blend fertilizer is my go to in the summer. I don't live in Florida but I agree 100% on you questioning the fertilizer ban. If it's the law then those who know the big wigs should not be paying them off to have exemptions. That's what's happening to this great country. Too many elites who think their above us regular Joe's. Keep up your fight and many thanks for your time with the pod casts and video's . I really enjoy your content. All the best Anthony
Can't wait for the movie! Gerald Butler stars in "Law Abiding Citizen 2": A frustrated man decides to take justice into his own hands after a discovering fertilizer blackout corruption in the Florida government.
It's amazing to see how many problems someone of your caliber is having with this wonderful Florida grasses. Imagine someone who has Bahia grass and maybe a third of the knowledge you have...It's a losing battle, just can get ahead. Creeping Beggarweed and wild Bermuda are impossible to control
Great video. Good to see even the pros struggle with weeds and brown spots since my lawn seems to have taken a big step back the past month here in SoFL.
@@Thelawncarenut Yes. But it's OK for the county to release millions of gallons of raw sewage into the bays when we have heavy rainfall. But that's ok.
Don't forgot about the backflow prevention devices they're demanding we pay one of their "approved" installers to place in my front lawn all because we own a well-powered sprinkler system.
I also had an uninformed person call me out on my channel when I was doing a how to video on fertilizing, telling me that I’m fertilizing during the blackout. When in reality I have no blackout. Within my county at NassauCounty. It seems like it’s always the uninformed uneducated that have the loudest voice. Furthermore, the person that called me out, had absolutely no clue or idea where I lived other than Florida in general.
Awful to say... but good to see your lawn in the same sad shape as mine. You are right, the rain has done a job on my once beautiful lawn. I'm in Ocala, Fl. Following your lead in getting rid of this mess !
Those battery sprayers they give you are my fourth circle of hell!! Edit: ok thank God you sprayed with the backpack sprayer. It felt like a sneeze being held in, in my brain.
Send that excess rain up to the northeast! We haven’t had rain in 3 weeks and the next 10 days are all bright blue skies with sun with not a chance of rain. Almost feels like Arizona with how little rain we are getting.
If a person was concerned as they claim the proper thing to do is to contact the other . We certainly should be here to learn and grow and none of us have it all figured out perfectly. The lawn tubes is helpful if folks build each other up and not tear each other down like 4 specific guys. All of these guys know a significant amount and should use their platforms to encourage and instruct. Please brothers ! work this stuff out and a lot more people will be reached with proper techniques for doing lawn care. It has been years since this bashing and destroying each other started. Yes, lots of errors and bad advice on the lawn tubes that needs to be corrected so email, call or reach out directly . Own the mistakes and move forward . I watch almost everyone and will continue . My best to all !
I added a patch of citra blue St Augustine plugs in the spring. I have grass where weeds wouldn’t even grow before. I’ve got a couple more trays of plugs coming for fall planting to fill in those bare spots. It’s been extremely shade tolerant and doesn’t mind the Texas heat. I’m plugging all my north and west areas with it and giving it that hydr8 biostim love so it grows in during our fall season.
Tried ordering the Aer8 from yard mastery app & website but it wouldn't accept my shipping address in Oregon. Their customer service rep Courtney got back to me super fast and figured out the problem... she let me know Oregon law doesn't allow liquid lawn products 😮 This was my first liquid I was gonna try, everything else I've got from YM was granular so never knew that. Took that off and just got my cool season grass seed ordered, and it shipped fast after that! They have a great team and been loving everything LCN since I bought my first home 6 years ago and started following LCN videos. 100% satisfied customer here!
The RTU is still good...just put it in a regular sprayer versus the junk one it comes with. That Floratam looks great! I'm currently fighting chinch bugs and OMG it's a never ending battle.
My park way has been getting beat up this year too. Grubs and grey leaf spot. My parkways are floritam, my mainstage is another type of St. Aug that I cannot identify (the sod farm claims its Floritam, but it is clearly different). The main stage is taking it pretty well, the floritam, not at all. I have put out new plugs and some sod but they too seemed to be dieing . The scott's disease ex has not helped this year to I put out some propiconazole last week. It seems to be helping...maybe I put out some more sod in another month after a second app of the propiconazole and get some recovery going.
I have a couple sections of Del mar St Augustine in my backyard. I'm slowly converting them to Zoysia/Bermuda. To me it acts like Fescue. It does great in the spring/Fall. Stays green in the winter. Once Summer hits, it's devastated by grey leaf spot. The Zoysia/ Bermuda, struggles in the winter. I guess you have to pick your poison.
Have you seen the Aussie guy on that scalps the st aug down to the stolens and then top dresses and the st aug grows back so good. You need to try that. So we can see if it works in the US. Just thinking about it since the grey leaf doesn’t infect the stolens. Or does it?
Guy, the Fusilade and Recognition mixture did not rid my lawn of Bermuda grass! It seemed to work on some of the Bermuda grass but also seemed to thin out the good portion of the good lawn. And the Bermuda is still in full force in portions of the lawn.
Uh oh. Just did my first dosing yesterday. Been reading everything I can find about it and this may be the first failure I've heard about. Lots of success stories. . .
Uh oh. Further in the video I see that the Bermuda has come back in LCN's beautiful Floratam. What to do now?? Didn't hear anything about that side yard's beautiful zoysia getting any new Bermuda. . .
I assume we all know that PhD means Doctor of Philosophy, and that it’s not actually your major. His Masters & PhD is in “soil fertility & turfgrass nutrition” per his LinkedIn, but who the heck cares… your delivery was hilarious! Glad to see you address these things & don’t coward away. Kudos to you. Hail the OG! 😊
I never went to a publicly funded college so I dont know what a "doctor of philosophy" is. Is that like someone claiming to be a "political scientist?" 😂
@@Thelawncarenut That's exactly right! You see, one is a REAL scientist while the other just TALKS (philozises??) about it! Wait.. uhm.. ..hold on a sec.. uhm.. Let me get back to you on this. ;) :)
I am in SE Fla, and my Palmetto looks like yours, and my Floratam looks pretty solid. I am probably in the minority here, but I am hoping you don't pull the Palmetto and replcace with another variety. What I enjoy most about your channel is that you can show different struggles in real time of A vs B on several turf grasses. That Palmetto may look awesome once it catches its breath after the dog days of summer go away.
I do like Palmetto alot. It's soft under bare feet unlike floratam. It's just that I'm finding it takes more and more chemical control the older it gets. At some point resodding will be required.
I appreciate you showing us the Roundup, but I can't stand that sprayer. I put some ready made Roundup in my weed control sprayer, the leftover that I had. I can't stand that sprayer. Oh, did I say that already?😂😂😂 LCN Keep spreading that knowledge.❤
People that have grass in the city limits in Tampa now can only water once a week and the law is permanent drought or no drought. I Hope the city of Tampa gets sued. They fail to repair leaky reservoirs and aging pipes and blame the residents for the lack of water. Plus the nitrogen blackouts add insult to injury. I'm about to give up and just plant Bahia grass.
I live in the Tampa area. I water when the lawn needs it. I pay for my water so don't tell me I can only water once a week.And I also don't follow any nitrogen blackouts.
@@johnsenuta1038thank you no way they are going to tell us when we can water the lawn! And we have to pay for reclaim water I’ll water when it needs it
I live in Central FL. This has been a really challenging year for weeds and fungus, insects - last year's challenge. Hopefully we get a minor frost in the winter to kill the doveweed, the worst weed ever! It's even taken over most golf courses around this area.
Whew LCN. I may have to resod. The Akron on my CB STA and PGR put it into dormancy and it has hardly grew and weeds are starting to replace new growth. I’m going to try stress blend twice. If it’s still not revived by December. I’ll have to resod in March
I had a 400 sq ft section in my back yard that got sick with grey leaf like this. Out of anger I put down fake turf for about two years and I hated the fake turf it got to hot for your feet but it heat treated my soil. (150 deg F) Long story short I reapplied Provista St Augustine sod and I have had no problem for two years now. soil sickness.
@LCN, I continue to battle with dayflower within my st. Aug. I have done two apps of Celsius at the lowest rate this year. Reading through the pamphlet, even at the most concentrated rate it does not names dayflower. Any recommendations on what herbicide to use? I have noticed that it is coming in stronger with all this rain (palm beach county). Thank you in advance and for the amazing content.
I just reviewed a video you posted 8 years ago where you utilized Blindside on doveweed. Similar weather elements currently present today, tons of rain. I will try to give this a go.
yeah man, my Floratam in Central Florida went down hill this year. It was supposed to be the best yet, but got a lot of damage this year, even though keep up with all applications .... pretty disappointed man
Yea man way too much rain going on over here in Orlando! My St Aug is so over saturated literally gushes mud and water when I step in it in some areas! Praying doesn’t kill the grass!
Lol those sandhill cranes are mean bastards when I try to chase them off. As far as the laws, maybe I misread but Alachua county was saying we are under blackout from June till February which...I mean come on man.
So my problem is builder put in Bahia in the back 1k of my yard and you can’t use Celsius on Bahia. This year dove weed invaded the Bahia and has gone wild. Image only tickles it. Only other thing that’s works is kill grass and weee concentrate.
Any concern about spraying that Roundup product without PPE? Noticed you are in shorts and a tee. I’m always afraid to even spot spray without long pants (but maybe I’m being overly cautious)
sun shade doesn't matter - all St Aug loves sun and I've seen both do fine in shade. It's the susceptibility to disease. Palmetto has always been more prone to it and this shows it clearly.
we have scotts provista here in The Villages.. its great but tempermental if you dont treat it right.. Provista is bio engineered to withstand Gylsophate.. Floratam not so much..And Atrazine killed St Augustine grass which its not suppose to.
If you can't spray nitrogen specific fertilizers during certain months what is stopping you from spraying DEF? 15 oz per 1000 sqft is great! If you spray more than 20 oz per 1000 sqft it can burn. This I learned watching utube.
Because I believe(d) the underlying reason for the law which is to keep our ecosystem free from runoff. DEF or not it will still leach out in our heavy rains.
I have put down RGS, MicroGreene, Hydretain, and Stress Blend over the last month with little results. Could my thatch buildup be preventing it from getting in the soil?
hard to know without more details - hit us up in the FB group with more info and let's see what we can find out for you. facebook.com/groups/thelawncarenut
Allyn I recently applied microgreene to my Bermuda to get the blue-green effect, and I used a fine mist nozzle with some surfactant and did not water in. I was under the impression that this is a foliar product. Is that not the case?
Do you seriously think that Bermuda won’t come back/or regrow in Florida!?!? Good luck dude!!! What happens when another batch of common Bermuda hits your new sod!?!? 😳🙄
Good thing they have a St Augustine that is glyphosate tolerant now. Here's an old video I did about it a few years ago: ua-cam.com/video/Nbdy635uUws/v-deo.html
@@MichaelP-ns But did you see his Floratam on the other side?? Amazing. Guess it'd be harder to come up with "content" with only perfect turf. 🙂 I'm learning a lot, though.
It IS certainly legitimate to question how much phos or N is actually moving off areas of application. If very little is leaching, perhaps the laws are misguided. One of the scientists that questioned your following of that law might actually agree that the laws are misguided.
I have no idea how the university system works. It seems antiquated and extremely expensive therefore driven by money and special interest. I don't trust it TBH
Lawn Boss, I guess my question is, why would a "Philosophy Major" care about you allegedly breaking the law? I imagine if you were to approach this individual and question his authority on Aristotle, he would advise you to remain in your educational lane...so what gives Him (Or her), the authority to question one of the leading resources in lawn care (My opinion), on best agricultural practices, or the environmental impact in doing so??? Rhetorical question, seeing as how you've proved yourself right lol. This individual must be one of those who post pictures on social media, calling out people who like grass and telling us we're destroying the earth for not having wildflowers in our yards....
Allen, I watch your channel and the philosopher’s. Yeah, he has a holier than thou attitude for sure and he did snitch. It was a bad look. He’s not all bad though. Remember your teachings and keep doing the right thing.
Empire Zoysia rocks as long as you have full sun and good air flow. I look my Empire Zoysia sections. Regarding philosophers... they're mostly well-educated idiots who just want you to call them by the title they feel they've earned.
Come on just rip the palmetto out and put citra blue you know you want to 😂. Or go with Bermuda. Dayflower sounds like the southern version of creeping Charlie once you have it you can never completely get rid of it it will always pop up at some point in the future
Climate change and rising sea levels will make properties in low lying areas and coastal areas impossible to insure. Banks will be reluctant to give a mortgage for 15 or 30 years because the property may be under water. Selling properties to average buyers will become impossible in the future as banks and mortgage companies stop making loans for these properties. Coastal areas are a high risk for insurance and extreme weather like hurricanes. People will have to self insure and take the risk of loss. Condo associations are losing their insurance and if they find a new higher cost policy they will be passing on the higher costs to association members. Flooded cars from hurricanes fill the salvage lots. Insurance companies will raise rates and pass on the costs and risks to policy holders next year. Coastal properties will be confined to wealthy individuals that can buy properties with cash and self insure for losses from hurricanes or rising sea levels.
A philosopher......in other words a PHD who knows everything about nothing. Glad you proved that loser in life wrong. Cause they sound like a complete ****.

Yea man way too much rain going on over here in Orlando! My St Aug is so over saturated literally gushes mud and water when I step in it in some areas! Praying doesn’t kill the grass!
Complete opposite east of you near the coast. It's been super dry until today😂
💯@@idleminded1
Lol those sandhill cranes are mean bastards when I try to chase them off. As far as the laws, maybe I misread but Alachua county was saying we are under blackout from June till February which...I mean come on man.
So my problem is builder put in Bahia in the back 1k of my yard and you can’t use Celsius on Bahia. This year dove weed invaded the Bahia and has gone wild. Image only tickles it. Only other thing that’s works is kill grass and weee concentrate.
You briefly showed an area with a good bit of torpedo grass…what do you do about that or do you just live with it?
I have not found anything to kill it but once we get to spring and the palmetto thickens up again it will choke it out.
Thanks!
Any concern about spraying that Roundup product without PPE? Noticed you are in shorts and a tee. I’m always afraid to even spot spray without long pants (but maybe I’m being overly cautious)
you can and should wear PPE
Love the podcasts!
Always heard that polmetto was more shade tolerant than Floratam, but not as good in full sun. What do you think?
sun shade doesn't matter - all St Aug loves sun and I've seen both do fine in shade. It's the susceptibility to disease. Palmetto has always been more prone to it and this shows it clearly.
I’m sure farmers aren’t in a black out period….
That's one exemption
what's the plan with the torpedo grass? :D
My Floratam not quite as shiny. Got hit with something that I was unable to resolve.
Allyn, I'd like to get the shirt you're wearing while discussing the MicroGreene application. I'm not seeing any shirts on the site right now, though?
Thanks bro. We are changing merch vendors and should be back up and running next month.
What do we now alyn about the bermuda!? Is this going to be the rest of our lawn care journey? Fusilade and recognition aint cheap brother
14:08 if there was no Bermuda. How could you recover without resod?
I can’t stand saint Augustine grass,
But the variety or cultivar named Pro Vista is roundup resistant
Dude I thought it was just my lawn getting its ass kicked.
we have scotts provista here in The Villages.. its great but tempermental if you dont treat it right.. Provista is bio engineered to withstand Gylsophate.. Floratam not so much..And Atrazine killed St Augustine grass which its not suppose to.
ProVista needs lots of nitrogen, that is the key - especially going into and out of winter
I *think* I understand that they've now gone away from ProVista south of 44 now. Not certain that they've switched to Floratam, though.
Only use Atrazine in cooler weather.
If you can't spray nitrogen specific fertilizers during certain months what is stopping you from spraying DEF? 15 oz per 1000 sqft is great! If you spray more than 20 oz per 1000 sqft it can burn. This I learned watching utube.
Because I believe(d) the underlying reason for the law which is to keep our ecosystem free from runoff. DEF or not it will still leach out in our heavy rains.
Where are you going? On a bachelor getaway💃💃💃
I have put down RGS, MicroGreene, Hydretain, and Stress Blend over the last month with little results. Could my thatch buildup be preventing it from getting in the soil?
hard to know without more details - hit us up in the FB group with more info and let's see what we can find out for you. facebook.com/groups/thelawncarenut
Allyn I recently applied microgreene to my Bermuda to get the blue-green effect, and I used a fine mist nozzle with some surfactant and did not water in. I was under the impression that this is a foliar product. Is that not the case?
Correct. This one needs to be watered in. Just mulch when you mow. It will get there eventually
please dont use wide angle camera (like at 0:43 second mark), it is so distorted that its making me motion sick. Im sure im not the only one.
My lawn sq footage is 3250. Could I round it up to 4,000 for applying products, fertilizer and the bio?
round to 3,500
Do you seriously think that Bermuda won’t come back/or regrow in Florida!?!? Good luck dude!!! What happens when another batch of common Bermuda hits your new sod!?!? 😳🙄
Good thing they have a St Augustine that is glyphosate tolerant now. Here's an old video I did about it a few years ago: ua-cam.com/video/Nbdy635uUws/v-deo.html
Any ideas on what to do with “bluestem” weed
Seein your lawn like that makes my heart hurt
mine too!
@@Thelawncarenut FWIW, my lawn dominates because of you, so don't get discouraged,.
@@MichaelP-ns But did you see his Floratam on the other side?? Amazing. Guess it'd be harder to come up with "content" with only perfect turf. 🙂 I'm learning a lot, though.
Palmetto is the worst had a whole front yard had to be replaced. grey lead spot was awful and every single year. I have Raleigh now and rarely get it.
"tip to tip" 🤣
what kind of grass do you have, don't look like Bermuda?
St Augustine
It IS certainly legitimate to question how much phos or N is actually moving off areas of application. If very little is leaching, perhaps the laws are misguided. One of the scientists that questioned your following of that law might actually agree that the laws are misguided.
I have no idea how the university system works. It seems antiquated and extremely expensive therefore driven by money and special interest. I don't trust it TBH
Why didn't you use sphagnum peat moss?! 😅
Lawn Boss, I guess my question is, why would a "Philosophy Major" care about you allegedly breaking the law?
I imagine if you were to approach this individual and question his authority on Aristotle, he would advise you to remain in your educational lane...so what gives Him (Or her), the authority to question one of the leading resources in lawn care (My opinion), on best agricultural practices, or the environmental impact in doing so??? Rhetorical question, seeing as how you've proved yourself right lol.
This individual must be one of those who post pictures on social media, calling out people who like grass and telling us we're destroying the earth for not having wildflowers in our yards....
If we don't like the regulations, we can all start leaving Florida. We overcrowded and destroyed it so much.
Allen, I watch your channel and the philosopher’s. Yeah, he has a holier than thou attitude for sure and he did snitch. It was a bad look. He’s not all bad though. Remember your teachings and keep doing the right thing.
Empire Zoysia rocks as long as you have full sun and good air flow. I look my Empire Zoysia sections. Regarding philosophers... they're mostly well-educated idiots who just want you to call them by the title they feel they've earned.
I've found with my Empire zoysia, it just sucks all fall, winter and spring buts looks great all ☀️ summer.
@@Thelawncarenut Uh oh. . .
I have the worst lawn in Florida. I would take your lawn all day
Keep the faith and hope for the best!
Where is your dog? I don't see it anymore.
he's here! He shows up every once in a while
Come on just rip the palmetto out and put citra blue you know you want to 😂. Or go with Bermuda. Dayflower sounds like the southern version of creeping Charlie once you have it you can never completely get rid of it it will always pop up at some point in the future
Climate change and rising sea levels will make properties in low lying areas and coastal areas impossible to insure. Banks will be reluctant to give a mortgage for 15 or 30 years because the property may be under water. Selling properties to average buyers will become impossible in the future as banks and mortgage companies stop making loans for these properties. Coastal areas are a high risk for insurance and extreme weather like hurricanes. People will have to self insure and take the risk of loss. Condo associations are losing their insurance and if they find a new higher cost policy they will be passing on the higher costs to association members. Flooded cars from hurricanes fill the salvage lots. Insurance companies will raise rates and pass on the costs and risks to policy holders next year. Coastal properties will be confined to wealthy individuals that can buy properties with cash and self insure for losses from hurricanes or rising sea levels.
move to texas....no stupid bans here! Throw'er down anything you wish...
Dude your spraying roundup in your sun glasses 😂
A philosopher......in other words a PHD who knows everything about nothing. Glad you proved that loser in life wrong. Cause they sound like a complete ****.
I didn't go to university so it's all elitest bullshit to me at this point.
Wait till you hear about California laws lol
