Doc aerates the lawn in back then also does an aeration on the new seed area. This time of year allowing the soil to open up is critical. Whether is water infiltration improvement or simply getting more air into the soil. Should you pick up aeration plugs?

    I don’t remember you talking about the rubber washer in the first video. I will have to go back and make that modification. I also don’t remember you talking about how hard it is to do this. As a retiree, I have learned the hard way. I do the front yard one day and then do the back yard the next day. It kicks my tail, but it does make a BIG difference. BTW, I compost the plugs and use them in my flower beds and elsewhere in the yard as needed.

    Hey Doc! Love your content and genuinely look forward to it every week. I'd love if you did a video on your irrigation install; specifically how to install it on established yards in the least obtrusive way possible. I've got a Latitude36 Bermuda in front/side and Palisades Zoysia in back, been using sprinklers, and ready for a system. Thinking about doing it myself after 3 pricey quotes and them saying they have to dig big trenches. I've seen first-hand how PGA golf courses install temporary Trackman/ShotScope wiring and you'd never know they broke ground. Since you're from a golf course background, I'm curious your thoughts. Thanks, Doc!

    I purchased a house in NC with red clay soil, balanced pH (I did soil tests through NC state). The native grass is common Bermuda but the landscaper the previous owner used put down fescue, front yard is 100% fescue now. I get quite a bit of shade in the backyard. Should I keep expanding the fescue, expand the common Bermuda or is there another option? I’m new to all of this.

    I am considering the Billy Goat 18 inch Plugr aerator with the Vanguard engine and I have a question: If I use it 3 to 4 times a year, how do I keep the carburetor clean and empty when shutting it down? The current Vanguard engines combine the throttle, fuel shut-off, and kill switch in one lever so I can't shut-off the fuel and let it drain the carb before dying. Do you use it enough to not worry about emptying the carb?

    Honestly... we don't take care of ours. Never changed the oil, never shut off the fuel, never cleaned the carb. Horrible I know, but it starts on every first pull.

    Aerating newly germinated lawn is bad for two reasons: the weight of the aerator is going to damage the new baby grass and the area that you pull out cores is taking out any new baby grass. If one has money to throw they would aerate newly germinated lawn.
