When to start fall lawn care
Fall Lawn Care | Aeration, Overseed, Starter Fertilizer, Milorganite FUN!
[Music]
seeing you guys know about my no work
policy that I don't do anywhere I show
up someone else does the work that's how
we do it that's how I roll
[Music]
actually let's go right here because
that's the front of the house behind us
okay there we go right all right what's
up y'all I'm Alan Haines the lawn care
nut thanks for coming back for yet
another week and look who I got with me
what's up Jake the lawn kid y'all know
we have been talking about this I mean
we've been primping this out for a
couple weeks now yeah sure this is our
couple months yeah this is our 2018 into
2019
project lon so one thing we are going to
do is we're gonna make sure that we do
traditional mechanical aeration over
seed Milo starter fir and in the
majority of the lawn here this what does
that mosquito yeah
and then in a couple other spots that
Jake's picked out or at least one
special spot we're actually going to use
some next products we're going to do
some next starter for some liquid stuff
over there that's why you just want to
work right yeah so Jake all right so
I'll show you guys a property map and
everything so you can see what we're
doing and what the sizes are but there's
some frequently asked questions I get
right away and the first one always is
this should I mow first and the answer
is yes go ahead and mow ahead of time mo
just one maybe two notches lower than
you normally do the reason I need you to
do that is because you're not really
gonna be able to mow this for a good
solid three weeks after we put the seat
down on a perfect world you wouldn't mow
for like six weeks but you can't do that
you can't let this overgrown with all
the nitrogen we're gonna put on it it's
gonna grow like crazy the other thing is
if we're really really honest right when
I when I worked at TruGreen we did
thousands and thousands and thousands of
over seeds and those over seats got
mowed like normal and they still proof
so I'm talking a lot in case I wasn't
clear there you're gonna mow before this
and you're gonna go ahead and mow one to
two notches lower than normal
mulching is fine and then secondly
you're not gonna moat anything for three
weeks and when you do moe three weeks
later make sure you Jack the tight way
back up to the top and most gingerly
easily get on get on now another thing
people ask is do I need to kill the
weeds first you're gonna see a lot of
foxtail in here things like that and
we're gonna be using some pre-emergence
to stop the foxtail next year so you
know while this is ugly I mean what this
is this this house here was seated you
can see the straw here it's new
construction it was seeded in the spring
you know I mean I think it came in
pretty well in a good majority of the
lawn
but this section up here gets the most
sunlight as well and it's just getting
beat in with weeds but are we gonna kill
these first the answer is no we're not
gonna kill these weeds first I don't
need to chemical right now I know in my
book I talk a little bit about spot
spraying and things like that but you
know I just really want to work on the
grass right now that's what I want to
work on I don't need a lot of chemical
here in fact I don't want any chemical
I'm gonna aerate the crap out of it I'm
gonna put down a lot of seed we're gonna
put down a lot of fruit and we're gonna
push this thing and we're gonna push the
turf the turf that's here and the turf
that we're putting into it that so we
pulled it on choke right and then we got
to make sure that the fuel is on and
then
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
you're not dropping
[Music]
[Music]
okay seriously I'll check out these
cords
this is why we tell you one thing you
should do the night before aerating and
overseeding definitely make sure that
you water because what this is going to
allow is it's going to allow you to pull
a deep core right I want you to think
about it the wetter the ground is is
deeper the core
[Music]
there we go all right well took me a
couple packs is fighting it up like what
the heck right
all right and it's you I should have
known that but that's okay that's that's
why we are real here so I've used
Claussen's before but the reason that
the drop handle wasn't engaging for me I
had to use my feet weird he said it's
because these retainer rings we're up
there which they should be for transport
so you can roll the handle up right
there's transport mode right so that's
why that's like that well then what that
does is when you go to do the drop
handle it's just there's nothing holding
this fulcrum together is that the right
term so anyway you put that on
[Music]
[Music]
see right here yeah I think you missed a
spot me yeah you right down through
there Jake what is this come on man
attention to detail bruh meticulous City
[Applause]
all right so my mantra here is poke
holes poke holes poked holes double
triple quadruple pass if you think
you've done enough passes do another one
so you can see look at all of these
cores in here this is a true double pass
and you can see we poked a lot of holes
friends at Jake hey Jake I interrupt you
what's up I don't think we poked enough
holes so I'm gonna poke a few more in
the front here but you go ahead and do
that well least you're gonna do that
yeah I'm gonna do that yeah see more bro
one over one more time now I feel better
about it now let me show you that's what
you want to see Korres everywhere this
is a beautiful seed bed and that's why I
love mechanical aeration Wow look at
that one but anyway this is uh this is a
really good seed bed and all of this is
gonna kind of melt back in as we as it's
watered and he mows and everything else
so this is definitely ready for some
seed alright Jake how'd you feel about
that aeration is that fun yeah
let's do the seed neck so I know you
were you were doing some calyx let me do
some calculus a seed is cheap throw her
down we have it so far down let's hope
for the best we have the beautiful
Spiker spreader now Jake is gonna give
you guys a full review on this later
again Spiker I called them I said hey we
have this project would you guys send us
a spread or they sent us the pro model
which is awesome I don't even know what
to set it on that's why I'll test it
with the grass seed where it doesn't
matter so much so let's do it
sowing in the seeds of
[Music]
there we go
[Music]
here you learn that from Pete yep nice
bro I don't think he uses a corona tree
saw to do it but that's all we got
exactly go big or go home
yeah that's the whole ethos of this
project go big or go home
nice I like your terminology ethos jeez
man you got to keep up those school
grades pretty good huh there's still
more in there don't spill it on the
driveway
[Music]
okay so this area here and the back has
now been aerated and over seated seven
pounds per thousand now the next thing
we're gonna do then is the starter for
we're gonna do the starter 4000 we have
a triple ten so how much are we gonna
get NPK Jake
hungry on three pounds per thousand we
got a ten ten ten so we're gonna get
just about under a half pound
yeah bike a point three yeah because 10%
times three pounds is point three so
it's like a third a third of a pound is
0.33 so that's what we're doing so we're
getting a third in the third P and a
third K from the starter fir and that's
really all you want remember you don't
want to exceed 1.5 pounds of nitrogen
between the two apps between the Milo
and the starter for your gonna do you
don't want to exceed 1.5 pounds of just
the end so if we're doing point three
here I'm gonna do bag right on the pile
which is 15 pounds times six
[Music]
at point eight plus point 3 is 1 point 1
so we're at 1 point 1 pounds of in
through this application and that's
perfect
nice job max
[Music]
