Did you water this grass, or was it just natural rain fall?

Thanks

Allyn…first off thanks for the time you took to make these great videos.
I live in San Antonio Tx and am wondering since it’s a bit warmer over here
at what time of the year do I begin to execute the steps in my lawn? Thanks
for the help!

Allyn, if I have been following your lawn treatment program since last
year, do I need to keep following it this year or start replacing the
starter fertilizer treatments with organic fertilizer? Please let me know.
Thanks.

My good friend +Allyn Hane is a lawn care expert and is beginning a new
series of lawn care videos where he will resurrect the lawn of a local
church. (no pun intended). Check it out and become a subscriber if you want
to learn about lawns in a fun way.

Time to get your first treatment down on the lawn (Midwest) and here is my
recommendation: (we are doing a project lawn this year in my video series)

In a previous video (last year) you said you’d have a video on spreading
tequnique; are you still working on that video?

Hi Lawn Care master! I’m a lawn newbie living in Virginia and tempreture
now in mid-May is above 70s mostly of the day, but this week is going to
have a lot of showers and thrunder storms, (lots of moisture in another
way). Is it still a good week for planting the grass seed in soil? My grass
seed has some coatings and I can just throw them in the bare area without
putting some more soil above it? Can i still apply the fertilizer even if
my fertilizer has weed control formula?

great questions. There is a difference in seeding an existing lawn and
seeding for a “new lawn” (or one like yours that is pretty much bald). In
your case, I would heavily aerate, and then heavily overseed. You’re ok
right now with heat. The thing that can get you is when seeding in Fall,
and your seeds germinate, then get a hard freeze. In spring we have the
opposite – so you are safer. I hope that helps.

If I have a lawn that’s already fairly thick, would it still be ok to use
that starter fertilizer or go with just the “regular” stuff?

Glad you’re back. Just usedq pre-emergent hopiing to keep away the horrible
crabgrass takeover that I had last year. My lawn doesn’t look much
different than this one, unfortunately.

Use a quality seed from Pennington or Scotts – get a mix of Kentucky Blue
and Perennial Rye. Some fescue is ok too. (I assume this is a sunny lawn)

I am new to lawn care (Always a renter!). I just watched your grass seed
video and then this series. My question is in regards to temperature, I
need to wholey reseed my backyard due to last years drought and a very late
spring this year. All I have is dirt. In your seeding video you said seed
needs heat but in this video you refer to temps at or near freezing. Is it
too soon to seed in Northern MN?? (the 10day forcast has us dropping to
just below 40 3times in the overnight) THANKS

not sure where you live – but that’s still a good first step – you can use
the starter fert on your next treatment and still get good results

i would not recommend applying any type of week control over top of new
seed. at this point, you’ve missed the seed window for spring. i recommend
you wait until fall to seed
