It seems that everyone is no longer bagging grass clippings, but it seems to make a lot of sense to bag it and keep the dead grass and litter to a minimum, rather than to have to go back and use a de-thatcher, which is a lot of extra work, time and effort.

From watching all these lawn channels, mulching is the way to go but many are doing it wrong. The clippings need to be small enough to be processed by the lawn, so you're either going to need to invest in a higher end mulch mower or you're going to have to mow more often with a regular mower to keep the clippings small. The average home depot mower (like I bought) that has mulching blades but just a "mulch flap door" can't properly mulch longer grass, I've been mowing 6-8 times a month and my trash thatch has been lot better. Pulled a ton of dead grass out with the SunJoe previously, great buy.

@pestandlawnginja

bifenthrin doesn't last long in most regions. if your region gets above 85 or below 60 degrees it lasts days. within that spectrum it can last a few months. If you're doing a curative measure for grubs or turf insects you may need to consider every 2 to 4 week applications for eradication measures. be sure to read the label and follow the guidelines. I spray then immediately water it in for about 10 min.

Hello. I was wondering if you could help me with an issue I’m having. I have a front yard that has full sun. About a month and a half ago I put down a slow release fertilizer with iron and my grass came in full and healthy and turned a nice dark green. Then a month later it started to lighten back up to a light green. The grass blades in parts of the grass seemed to get very thin. I should add that every year the grass blades seem to get very thin as the summer progresses. And threwout the grass I started seeing more and more dead grass blades. Not patches. Just 1 in about ever 3 or 5 was a dead blade. We had a couple weeks where it was non stop rain and the grass got very tall before I could get out to mow it. Work was very busy at the time also. I was cutting it once a week when I should have cut it every other day. It was growing fairly fast. When I finally got out to cut it I was taking off 2 to 3 inches. Which I know is hard on the grass. But life just got to busy. Would the tall grass and the stress of cutting it so high be causing my problem of the dead blades? I still can’t figure out why the blades seemed to go from thick to thin. We got plenty of rain so it shouldn’t be from drought. I wanted to have a nice green thick lawn. But now I have all the dead blades everywhere. Do you know if my problem is fixable? Thank you.

Thanks for these videos. I live in Southern New York State and we had an extremely wet spring which went into June as well and now we're heading into the head and the lawn going into dormancy. Anyway, I neglected my lawn for about 10 years and this spring I started to take care of it again...I seeded with the Jonathan Green Black Beauty Ultra for sun and shade back around late April when the weather started to be steadily warm. The seed is the usual northeast mix of Kentucky Bluegrass, rye, and fescue and I used a starter fert along with it. The great thing is that the grass really started filling in and my neighbors were saying how green my lawn is and that's a great thing. I am also cutting at 3 inches but here's what I'm noticing, at 3 inches the grass in some spots seems to flop over itself and lay flat and I think it is causing shallow roots. Where there is a lot of sun, the grass is actually perfect, nice and thick but where its shady and most likely holding too much water, that's where the flopping occurs. I tried to rake it and when I did, you can see the grass come up and look tall and then looking closing its green on top and yellow on the bottom. I looked for grubs or insects and nothing, I put on some fungus control and that didn't seem to help so I'm guess shallow roots. Here's the question, even though its heading into July and the hot and humid weather is here (its been in the high 80s and low 90's the last few days) should I mow lower and will that fix the problem?
@pestandlawnginja
5 жыл бұрын

Being In Utah? Surprised you don't show by example of having so Shade Trees stratedically in your Yard.. 1 for East shade, 2 for South and 3rd for shade for the West sun.. We did that after our 5th year and made a world of difference-all of our shade trees are Hydranga-Pee Gees and a Crab-apple with beautifull bloom colors..

Ginja ninja I’ve got problems! Front lawn was looking good most of the summer, noticed some spots were shorter and not growing as much as rest but never thought much of it. Now those same spots died off were pale yellow and kinda moldy looking. Put the thatch on it and it literally pulled right out! Did a grab test by hand it pulled it soo easily and looked like it had no roots. What’s wrong with my lawn!

Great to hear you're going through the steps. So do the water saturation test. It's going to come down to too much water, or too little water as the primary issue. Secondary issues are fungus and bugs. Just need to narrow it down. If its slimy or moldy fungus. If it was or is bugs you'll find evidence

Pest and Lawn Ginja I was unable to do water test, but I always hand water the lawn so I’m sure I put it down evenly. When I pulled the grass up the soil underneath was very wet. And I would find slime or mold underneath the ripped grass or the dead grass itself would be? Thanks!

Pest and Lawn Ginja I found a weird looking worm, small was curled up and had what looked like 4 front legs. Put it on the concrete and when I squirmed away it left a goey trail! Anyway I could share a pic of it?

I've been watching your videos pretty religiously as I am getting ready to start a new lawn. Problem is I live on the big island of Hawaii where it can rain pretty frequently one week, then be blazing hot the following week. I was pretty set on starting a bermuda hybrid bermuda lawn but now I'm reconsidering. Any suggestions?? I cant decide what grass type to go with!

I LOVE THE BIG ISLAND!!!! Beach 69 is my spot. Be awesome to get back out there on the lawns. Thanks for watching. Check out ntep.org . I think you're right for being very picky on the type of grass. There are so many varieties to choose from. So with that in mind I suggest two things. Decide if color is better or overall health. Second decide if you care how heat or cool sensitive it can become. I would also recommend you call barenbrug and ask them there opinion as well. Ultimately go with the one that best suits your needs.

Niceeee! That whole side of the island is just lined with nice beaches, not as crowded as oahu beaches too! Thanks for the suggestion, I'll study the ntep site for the comparisons. I'm pretty set on bermuda but dont know which variety to go with. What's the typical bermuda you see here or do you have any suggestions? Thanks!!

I just overseeded but I'm starting to see that I might have fungus, and was probably here before I dethatched and seeded. It's been 2 weeks, when can I start fighting this? The new seeds are starting to sprout in most areas
