    Man you're going to have to change your name to "The Lawn Pro" pretty damn soon! I was wondering what you have planned for Fall? Your grass looks amazing! Are you planning on aerating or overseeding this Fall or just winterizing and applying the preemergent? Keep up the great work and keep on keeping it real.

    @jc-246 If you want to start over, you definitely can. I did that on my lawns. The best time to plant grass is late summer early fall. It's a process. It's not hard it's more about staying consistent and watering and fertilizering the lawn properly.

    I wish I had seen this video before I just sprayed. I was trying to beat the rainy weather tomorrow. I saw the bottle emptying and filling back up. I thought it was like the miracle grow plant food sprayers that never empty, you just spray till the blue plant food is gone and clear water remains from hose. I guess I still have about 75% of this fungicide left in the bottle. Lawn is 2000 SQ ft.
