Thank you. I have been watching a guy on KZread named Dr Travis Shaddox. He has a PhD in Turf Science. The site is called Turfgrass Epistemology. He is slowly debunking many on the KZread influencers myths. Turns out, there is minimal to no science to support what the hucksters are selling. The minimalist approach (Cultural practices like proper mowing, watering, pre emergent, and minimal fertilizer for effect) is what is supported by his research and the science. Good to see you back.

Hey man, great to hear from you! Yes, I've seen some of his stuff and subscribed to his channel. It's refreshing to hear. I've made videos about this approach for years now and have been ridiculed by some for it. At least now I know there's someone with a PhD who supports the same thing. I guess it'll be hard to argue against it anymore lol. Not saying I've never been wrong, but all the product shilling just never made sense to me. Thanks for watching as always!

Sir, I've watched you off and on the past 3 years. Just subbed. When I bought my home (sept of i cant remember year) my yard needed work. I searched KZread and found a guy who was made rich selling fert to his subscribers. Said youtuber has added more products to make it so complex and makes it seem like work (I'm not retired so i can't do everything he suggests) Looking back, I really wish KZread directed me to you first. I find your no bs approach very easy and doable/atrainable

I’m trying to get my lawn in shape for curb appeal as we plan to list our house next summer. I’m really enjoying your videos so far. Do you over-seed your lawn at all?

Thank you. Glad you’re enjoying them. Bermudagrass does not need to be overseeded. It’s a warm season grass that spreads very fast on its own so overseeding isn’t necessary like it is for most cool season lawns. Hope the helps. Appreciate ya.

College sports are such a mess with NIL right now that even the fun is being drained out of it. The lawn at least keeps me sane. Thanks again for watching.
