    Mowing will make it or break it! I've cut twice already just knocking a quarter to a half inch off the tips. I put pre-emergent and a light dose of fert down on Tuesday, lawn is perking up and so are the trash cans flying down the street with these crazy winds today 🤣🤣

    Greetings from Canada! I was binge watching your videos today, trying to pass the time until my mowing season starts… Hopefully soon! So happy to see you out in the lawn for 2022! I have a quick question. I know you are using more liquid fertilizers now but I’m still a granular man. When you start fertilizing, would you recommend spoon feeding with 0.25-0.5 lbs all throughout the summer or just in the prime growing seasons? Appreciate you taking the time to answer my question and I can’t WAIT for more of your videos!

    • @lakehouselawncare1755
      @lakehouselawncare1755  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks so much for watching my channel, Taylor! I appreciate your kindness. I’d recommend throwing down around .5 pound of nitrogen/1000sq ft. after your 3rd mow. Another application after your grass has its seed heads in May, then you don’t want to fertilize much at all during the summer.
