That clip of you mowing snow made me so happy lol

[SpiritintheSky.]

Turf Mechanic videos are excellent. Thank you.

My lawn stands very little chance. I have 15, 000 sq in HEAVY shade, transition zone, terrible clay, no irrigation, and I'm lazy. With your tutorage I've managed to have a fair lawn most years. Thank you.

Dang I just got called out. I live in Florida so we are now in the upper 80's to low 90's daily. I got excited to water and get going and just put down some Turf Builder Triple Action 2 days ago. You live and learn though. I still have no clue how often to water right now with these temps but I'll give those videos you mentioned a watch! I'm new to caring about my lawn and you are my favorite lawn guy to watch. Great content my friend!

[Micheal-Ireland]

I love lawn care information!!! thank you so much!

[rastradamus]

Never saw a man wowing snow until today 😄

I might have to get that exact shirt from ya 👍
mowed one notch higher already yesterday....but my buddy rented a lift basket('cherry picker'? or whatever you call them, but he used it to take down a very tall thin tree that was damaged in his yard) and I gave him $100 yesterday to drive it over and trim the top off of my ugliest tree that was damaged years ago(back then, I was able to trim most of it myself, but the wife wouldn't let me get the last awkward largest tallest straight up part which still had a large broken section off it stuck up there) so anyway now I have *large ruts* in my biggest north parkway strip, which I was fine with because that one is the next I want to relevel and lower slightly - and this now is a great excuse to do it, and bring the soil level down to or even a little below the sidewalk - some of it I had already done a bit of last year along the weedy curb, but missed the fall reseeding window in that area; so if this spring I can take it more seriously(without killing all the existing Rye grass) and use the same 'cover crop' technique just to get something growing in any bare dirt which not much of lives all the way thru summer, it should be good to do a final smoothing and proper overseed end of summer/fall with the Fescue that I've switched to on the other parkway strips .... now I just have to process all the downed branches, cause as cool as it is to have a great neighbor that will help out like that, he kinda went a little nuts and cut much more than I had envisioned

I'd like to see your video on best iron application, i.e. liquid vs granular and best time. My grass is healthy but not very dark.

[Not_So_Weird_in_Austin]

In Austin i put pre emergent down using lable instructions starting in October and every 90 days till spring.

[davidfalls]

When you do a half rate of a fertilizer like milorganite are you just setting the spreader at a lower number? Thanks

[enellittles]

Love the video. Is there anything natural recommendations that can be used on lawn? I have little ones and the stay barefoot and I'm sceptical about the usual weed and feed and weed prevention things

[andrs]

Awesome video as always Brian. When would you say is the best time to BUY seed? I'm planning on overseeding next fall, so I'm trying to find out when if ever the prices are lower.

[donnarizzo]

Brian I have a new puppy and I used to use pro diamine but cannot any longer. What can I use with my new Goldedoodle that will not harm him because he tends to eat the grass sometimes. Thank you!

[Shailesh-zmls]

Hi, My lawn was having St. Augustian grass but now the other grass is growing along with St. Augustian, How can i remove other grass, also how can i make my lawan thicker and grass in all over the lawan, Right now some part are completely dry, Thanks in advance

[_Blue_Tacoma]

Howdy, just found your videos a couple days ago. I live in Florida and have a centipede lawn. Which one of your videos (because you have a lot) should I watch? Thank you Sir.

[TriniDB]

I plan on putting down prodiamine this Thursday 4/6 to get me through august because I plan on overseeding in the fall. Am I too late for prodiamine ?

[martlet]

Have read that BioChar is effective in clay soil. Would you agree and is this true for all "bio" products?

[davidgonzales-ecbo]

Hey Brian. Can you do a video on primary (npk) and secondary nutrients (iron, manganese, magnesium, CA, etc) that doesn't promote or push growth. I want to have a year where I don't put any nitrogen down at all and just rely on slow growth nutrients. I know nitrogen drives the bus, but too much nitrogen is driving all the other nutrients out of the lawn.

I have the best yard in the neighborhood. I have my own system and believe me it’s NOTHING you’re doing. My system is extremely simple. I have 10-12 people a year knock on my door and ask how I do it. Just had one on Tuesday 🤷🏻‍♂️
