I’m a golf course superintendent, I love to watch these videos. I take very little care of my yard cause I do it all day work lol. I spray weeds that’s it. First thing I noticed is you have a great spreader, expensive but worth it in taller grass makes pushing it much easier. Second Anderson’s makes really good fertilizer products, although expensive too, you could do a soil test and literally find a product Anderson’s makes that would take care of your soil problems.

Been using the Anderson’s line of fertilizers for 4 years now with Zero complaints. Yes their products are a bit pricey but you have to pay to play as they say. Great video👍

Three times a season for me. May 1, July or August, depending on how dry it’s s been, and November after last mowing. Also, not bagging really helps to fertilize. The clippings become fertilizer. I mow every 4 days at 3 1/2 inches. My lawn is 99.9% grass and beautiful

Thank you for this video! We had a lawn service a couple years ago, but had to stop using them because wife developed Alzheimer’s and we fell on hard times financially. I’ve been wanting to do it myself but wasn’t sure what to look for because of everything out there, gets confusing. You helped a lot! Thanks again 😃

I'm a woman and a first time home owner. I truly love these videos.

We purchased a home with 2 year old kbg sod that was in rough shape, with many large stones underneath in hard clay, brown stripes with bare spots running the length of the property. We did something like: aggressive dethatching, digging up stones, shampooing and aerating, a dose of PGF right before doing a light soil top dressing and leveling, then a mix of milorganite and chicken feed. After getting after it for 4 months, we have the healthiest lawn, and it feels good to walk barefoot in our yard finally. Thank you for all your hard work.

I needed an idea for fertilizer and I trust your opinion as you have not steered us wrong with any of your other suggestions and recommendations. Thank you.

My uncle is a distributor for The Andersons in my area and so many golf courses and country clubs contract with him.

[actraveler]

Thank you for introducing me to PGF complete. It’s the only fertilizer which my transition zone lawn responded to. I’ve tried several other brands but one bag of PGF took it to a whole other level.

LIME in reverse = Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day. It the easiest way to remember when to fertilize.

[ianmackenzie]

Great education, thanks!

The only slight advantage organic may have imo is if I accidentally spill some it won't burn up the grass.

[larrycartolano]

The video is good. I no longer use Scotts for the same reasons you mentioned. However, while The Andersons PFG Complete is probably "the best", there is no way it is "affordable" for the average homeowner. Currently, it runs around $37/5K sqft bag. For example, I need about 12K sqft so that would be over 2 bags or around $85 worth per application. I will stick with lawn fertilizers from Rural King or Menards, typically between $28 - $32 for 15K sqft bags.

I would love to see your chem application schedule.. (fert, preemergent, post emergent and kelp/humic) would be cool. Thanks, love your videos.

[gregau]

I'm so glad you put out this video. Keep it simple. I'm so burned out of all the people pushing all the Humic products like they are the best thing since sliced bread... they aren't. Does Humic Acid work? Maybe a little bit... but nothing what these companies are claiming. I put it out on my yard for 3 years in conjunction with my standard fertilizing program and my yard was no different than before and my yard is really, really nice. I just don't see how more people aren't realizing it??? Again great video!

diesel def is 37% Urea and water, less than $5 a gallon.

[inferno]

I've always used Scotts never had clumping in my bags. Now cheaper fertilizer yes clumps in bags . But Scotts has always done great for my lawn here in the Pacific northwest

[johnhanson]

Thank you for this video. I'm new to lawn care and this video is really helpful to me. I was beginning to feel overwhelmed and overbudget with all the different fertilizer brands and it seems like everyone is promoting their own specialty fertilizer with a miraid of supplemental add on products to go along with it. Lawn care feeding was getting very cluttered and confusing to keep up with as I was taking in as much lawn care info as I could find but it came with it a lot of spam. Thanks for simplifying lawn care fertilization with clear facts and what to look for in a quality fertilizer.

[bryankosidowski]

I always look forward to your videos! Straight to the point and no filler. Just like a good fertilizer!😂 keep up the great work!

[jeffreylowry]

Great job on the videos! Clear, concise, and enjoyable to watch! I’m wondering if you do anything with your lawn as far as insecticides? It would be a great addition to your lawn series.

[liveyourbestlawn]

I was thinking this same thing today..be careful with fert companies that over sell but under perform.
