Hi. Have a question. I'm in Michigan with very sandy soil. Is there a benefit to putting down the RPR / HGT Bluegrass combo or just seed with RPR and then overseed this fall with the HGT Bluegrass? I should have my irrigation system functioning by early July. It's probably too late for Bluegrass seed, right?
@Tsargents225 күн бұрын
I also plan to put down 3 inches of topsoil before I seed with the RPR in July.
@TheHighlanderLawn24 күн бұрын
It is possible to seed in July with KBG. But you are then committing to watering like a “crazy person” 🤣🤣to keep that seed damp enough to push germination and for a couple of weeks thereafter to maintain the seedling development . I love my Turf Blue Pro with the RPR combine, I put down. I have also repeated it on 3 others yards this year and we are seeing amazing results. I have not used the HGT KBG but have heard great things about it. So bottom line…you can seed in the heat of July…it’s not easy and will take more attention to the moisture level and obviously MORE water. You can also Pre-germinate the KBG (as long as it’s not coated with the Yellowjacket coating.) I put out a video on that in 2022 in my ugly lawn series for that year. Thank you for the comment.

There are usually 3 methods that can work. 1 - remove the dead material and allow it to repair itself. (This is the longest dependent on the size of damage) 2 - remove dead material and re-seed using a little topsoil or peat moss whilst keeping it damp. 3 - remove the dead material and place some sod plugs depending on how large the damage is. The damage will repair itself if the pests are eliminated. Grass is amazingly resilient and will work its way back, given everything it needs. Thank you for the comment.

It is very likely. I have done quite a bit of research, since this video.

I have also seen Neem oil can work well, and I intend to try it in conjunction with the insect and mite killer.

In some ways it does make the job easier. But getting the water right (overhauling the irrigation system) and getting the yard rehabbed is no walk in the park. After that the maintenance is much easier. Most folks don't think 10- 20 years out when they landscape their yards. Trees are great, but they should be placed with a little forethought on how it can negatively impact the yard in the future. And if they are just shifted and moved they can enjoy the trees, the yard and the whole experience much better. Thank you for your comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.

I meant to tell you also that I really enjoy your videos! If I may ask, before I found your channel, I had purchased K-Rain adjustable nozzles. After your video's I'm wondering if I made a mistake. I've changed the side row of mister bodies with hunters and planning in the next week or so to flush them out and attach the k rain nozzles. I live in NJ so it's still been cold and haven't turned on the sprinklers yet . Can I ask your opinion on the K Rain nozzles and should I bite the built and just purchase Hunter MP nozzles. The area is just a stretch on the side of my house with 9 misters that I need to shoot out 11 ft. Much appreciated.
@TheHighlanderLawn2 ай бұрын
Thank you very much!! In regards to the K Rain nozzles. I do personally believe that K Rain , R Van and Toro's version are all "always imitated...never duplicated". Now I have never used them in an installation and done an honest comparison. (And speaking of that....I probably should.) So I can't 100% say that they are not worth your time and money. I have seen the R Van's in action, and was not very impressed, they seem cheap and I have heard that they break down easily. I will tell you that if you are doing a swap or retro of a "side of (your) house" with K Rain, make sure that the entire zone is the same style of nozzle. For example I have seen people mix and match rotary nozzles with pop up sprays (fans), and then run them for the length of time in that zone that would be fine for a pop up to put out enough water, but no where near the time needed for a rotary to do it's job. I only know the spec's on MP's and pop up fans because I use them as a comparison. So make sure the entire zone or area you are running them on are all the same type of nozzle otherwise I would not be surprised to hear "I hate these they suck" and as I usually state: "The reason you hate them is because you don't understand them and how they work!" Sorry for the novel. I hope that helps.

My apologies for not responding earlier. I have been crazy busy the last 3 months that I have been a little neglectful to responding to comments. Q4 can be very finicky in certain temps. I find that if your daytime temps tend to be lower than 60 F it can really SLOW down its effectiveness because overnight it can get into the 30-40’s. This also keeps your soil temps below 55 F. Also as mentioned in the video anything above 85 F daytime highs can cause damage to the turf when it is applied. So you have a window to apply, depending on where you live. In regards to reapplying I believe it is 4-6 weeks before reapplying. I hope this helps. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.

I know that the Senix dethatcher on Amazon is the exact same unit as the SunJoe AJ805e. If you shop several online retailers usually have the ability to set up alerts for when these items come back in stock. I am sorry that you haven’t had much luck finding one. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
Whoop whoop,Ryan is back! Looking forward to the season
Tonya thank you! I have been so busy with helping folks that I haven’t had time to cut and edit.
Do your thing friend,I’ll be ready and waiting. Hope you have a great season in the lawn 👍🏽
Lawn guy and now pest guy too?! Your wife is lucky! Can't wait to see what videos come out next!!
Yeah kind of a Jack of all trades......master of none!! LOL. I got pretty lucky with her. Videos are coming, just been bogged down helping people.
Is triazicide granules any good for grubs if used at a higher coverage rate than what the bag says?
JHamm I have had mixed results with the triazicide granules. I saw great success one year using it and the next it was as if I never put anything down. Could certainly be "user error"!! LOL Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
Why use the lowest setting? That’s why you’re having issues.
I use the lowest setting because I want to see how a few things. 1) How they perform on the lowest setting allowed by the manufacturer. 2) I needed to do a renovation to my lawn and needed them to really pull as much as they could. 3) Most people want to see how far a unit can go and perform well.....so why not? Thank you for the comment.
They seem sorta similar..? Some obvious differences. But output wise, similar. No? Minus more tines and a more powerful motor.
Edward, as far as output, I did not see a defining difference. They are great machines. Either one would do you well. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
The Highlander “Lawn Doctor” takes ugly lawns and transforms them into works of art! He is truly an artist when it comes to lawn irrigation, lawn vitalization, and yard maintenance.Truly the best!
As always "JJ" thank you for the kind comment. And remember....."You're a ........!!" LOL
Let's go!
Yes sir!!! Hopefully we will be in a better situation in a year from now!!! ;-) LOL.
why are Sun Joes unavailable, have you heard? possibly the Lawn Master was set too low? seems Sun Joe the better unit but frustrating you cant buy one right now
This happens usually every year at this time. People get in "dethatching mode" and they wipe out most inventories. The LawnMaster was not impressive at all. It was probably one of two units that performed poorly. Lowe's did have the AJ801e on the website. It is the older model but I will tell you this it does a very good job and is awesome. I hope that helps. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
Where is the fix damage to your lawn part? Do I have to pull the lawn up? Can I bring the damaged part back? Please don't put it in the tag line if you have no answers. Waste of my time.
There are usually 3 methods that can work. 1 - remove the dead material and allow it to repair itself. (This is the longest dependent on the size of damage) 2 - remove dead material and re-seed using a little topsoil or peat moss whilst keeping it damp. 3 - remove the dead material and place some sod plugs depending on how large the damage is. The damage will repair itself if the pests are eliminated. Grass is amazingly resilient and will work its way back, given everything it needs. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
I think my problem is that I didn’t get all the leaf litter under my shrubs in my beds. I think that they live under that leaf debris throughout the winter and in the spring they come up and feast
It is very likely. I have done quite a bit of research, since this video. I have come across data that states that they will also live in the lawn but move to the shrubs as they have more sap to draw from. I have seen results from several people that have used ladybugs, but they tend to fly off eventually, but love to snack on them. I have also seen Neem oil can work well, and I intend to try it in conjunction with the insect and mite killer. There was also a highly recommended use of diatomaceous earth which was stated to be very effective. I will be trying this and doing a video on the results. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
Moving from Michigan and are Lions fans. I noticed you wearing a Lions hat in one of your videos.😊
I am A HUGE LIONS fan. I have been since '89 when Barry was drafted. There have been some 'dark days' and we almost saw it happen this year. But almost is only good in horseshoes and hand grenades!! LOL
Can you provide a link to your business website? I have neighbors moving to Utah and would love to send your contact info to them.
I don't have a website up yet. Just the YT channel and Instagram / Facebook....which I absolutely suck at being good at daily posting. But I will be getting a website shortly for a venture that I will be announcing on the channel soon. Good things coming down the pipe!! They can reach out to me on Instagram. I live in Syracuse which is north of SLC and about 2 miles from the shores of the Great Salt Lake.
It's not a tumor. I use this line all the time and not a lot of people even remember Kindergarten Cop 😂😂😂
Yeah the Gen Z's definitely don't get it. LOL
LOVE the movie references in your videos. You should go into video production services too!
LOL....thank you I have thought about it as I have done several outside of lawn care videos (i.e. life tributes, football team end of year videos, cheer season videos, etc.) Video editing, at least for me, takes a lot of time. I fumble around when the format of the program changes, I get too picky about transitions, fades, titles, and so on. But I have certainly thought about it. But I will always use movie clips for levity in my vids. I have had a few folks that are negative about it, but all I tell them is "To thine own self be true" or "I gotta be me!!" LOL. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
That would be nice to have a big flat lawn like that with no big trees. Easy peasy for lawncare.
In some ways it does make the job easier. But getting the water right (overhauling the irrigation system) and getting the yard rehabbed is no walk in the park. After that the maintenance is much easier. Most folks don't think 10- 20 years out when they landscape their yards. Trees are great, but they should be placed with a little forethought on how it can negatively impact the yard in the future. And if they are just shifted and moved they can enjoy the trees, the yard and the whole experience much better. Thank you for your comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
Awesome video! I feel like I could run through a brick wall right now. You the man!
Thanks!! I definitely am going to tick a particular individual off!! But they have been going out of their way to be a dbag to the DIY community.
Can't thank you enough for your time in responding to my question and look forward to more enlightening videos. Let's all keep the dream alive, if not for us, then for our children and next generation!
You are most welcome!
Amen!
You know it!!
I meant to tell you also that I really enjoy your videos! If I may ask, before I found your channel, I had purchased K-Rain adjustable nozzles. After your video's I'm wondering if I made a mistake. I've changed the side row of mister bodies with hunters and planning in the next week or so to flush them out and attach the k rain nozzles. I live in NJ so it's still been cold and haven't turned on the sprinklers yet . Can I ask your opinion on the K Rain nozzles and should I bite the built and just purchase Hunter MP nozzles. The area is just a stretch on the side of my house with 9 misters that I need to shoot out 11 ft. Much appreciated.
Thank you very much!! In regards to the K Rain nozzles. I do personally believe that K Rain , R Van and Toro's version are all "always imitated...never duplicated". Now I have never used them in an installation and done an honest comparison. (And speaking of that....I probably should.) So I can't 100% say that they are not worth your time and money. I have seen the R Van's in action, and was not very impressed, they seem cheap and I have heard that they break down easily. I will tell you that if you are doing a swap or retro of a "side of (your) house" with K Rain, make sure that the entire zone is the same style of nozzle. For example I have seen people mix and match rotary nozzles with pop up sprays (fans), and then run them for the length of time in that zone that would be fine for a pop up to put out enough water, but no where near the time needed for a rotary to do it's job. I only know the spec's on MP's and pop up fans because I use them as a comparison. So make sure the entire zone or area you are running them on are all the same type of nozzle otherwise I would not be surprised to hear "I hate these they suck" and as I usually state: "The reason you hate them is because you don't understand them and how they work!" Sorry for the novel. I hope that helps.
Great video plus bonus points for adding the Stiffmeister clip 😅
LOL!!! Thanks, I just couldn't help myself!!
What i need so they can send me that rye grass for free
I would say that it would take knowing those that can do so in your area. And be willing to work for it...LOL. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
@@TheHighlanderLawn not work for it i think sponsor it🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
DO YOU HAVE A WASHINGTON ST PLATE ON YOUR WALL
I do but I am always getting new additions to the collection.
Great video thanks. I get I’ve been nervous to use the scarifier blade so far. Just curious why the surficant is selling with the sunjoe.
You shouldn't have any issues with the scarifier blade. It is more aggressive than the tines. When I was posting the video, the only available units on Amazon came with the surfactant as a bonus item. I use the surfactant with herbicides and any liquid product that I want to "stick(er)" to the leaf blade of the item that is being applied to. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
Just bought a Sunjoe. Great vid Brah!
You will love the SunJoe. It is an awesome tool to get a yard whipped into shape. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
Thrifty is smart and sensible and helps with pollution and I was raised on it but, cheap and not having much is different
By the way how did it hold up, I fixed mine with JB weld and it held up a few heavy loads but I threw 4 big bags of soil in it and it cracked
Thrifty is smart and sensible, agreed. I was not raised with much money, my dad worked 4 jobs, but taught us to work hard and to "use it, wear it out, make due or do without!" So we were shown to try and fix something first before you just simply toss it out.
To date it is still holding strong. It is stored in my shed and the bracket that holds it up against the wall sits right on that rear seam. (Probably one of the reasons that .section cracked originally LOL) So it bears 95% of the wheelbarrow's weight. It has moved 15 cubic yards of soil (some dense heavy loads) and some other heavy loads. Actually had to replace the tire because it blew out. So I would say that it has been a success so far, and has put off shelling out money for a new one. Thanks for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
sounds like Greenworks is the winner!!
I am picking up on the sarcasm.....cuz you're laying it on pretty thick!! LOL. Yeah...u,,,, Greenworks was not successful!! LOL. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
Ain’t nobody got time for 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yes......Ain't nobody got that kind of time!! LOL. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
How long do u let the clr sit on the glass for?
On average about 30 seconds max before scrubbing then scrubbing is about 1 - 1.5 minutes. So it is never on the glass for more than 2 minutes. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
Good looking yard brother
Thank you sir!! Been so busy the last 3 months I haven’t been very good at responding to comments. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
Great Video, I put this out about a week ago and I have seen some weeds not too happy with me. However, there are still plenty that are not showing much damage. When do you feel its safe to spray again and this time (now that I know) I will water it like you said in your video. Thanks again for the video. It was very helpful. Now I know to put it out in the morning and then water it later.
My apologies for not responding earlier. I have been crazy busy the last 3 months that I have been a little neglectful to responding to comments. Q4 can be very finicky in certain temps. I find that if your daytime temps tend to be lower than 60 F it can really SLOW down its effectiveness because overnight it can get into the 30-40’s. This also keeps your soil temps below 55 F. Also as mentioned in the video anything above 85 F daytime highs can cause damage to the turf when it is applied. So you have a window to apply, depending on where you live. In regards to reapplying I believe it is 4-6 weeks before reapplying. I hope this helps. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
She’s bad asf
Yes it is!
You earned a subscriber. Great video. Purchased those products a few days ago after doing a fair bit of reserch on them. Glad to see I'm not the only one that gets lost down the rabbit hole on things like this. Was interested in why the video was so long and yet you kept me the whole video fun while still informative great video. Looking forward to the next venture you go on.
My apologies for not responding earlier. I have been crazy busy the last 3 months that I have been a little neglectful to responding to comments. Been remodeling my daughter's recently purchased home. So that has been my most recent venture. I do have a bunch of yard renovations, might even expand to some of the home renovations that I did, but time will tell on that. I just wanted to say thank you for the kind words. Yes it was a VERY long video. I am completely guilty for being "long winded" LOL. But I like to make sure that I am very thorough and dive into the details so that folks can "get" why this maybe important to them. I do like to have a little fun and use some levity during the videos, and I love using some movie lines/clips to break up the monotony. The video hasn't had much traction (most likely due to the length LOL), BUT that's okay. If I help even one person, even a little, the time was worth it. Folks like yourself are the reason I do what I do!! Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
looks great. i may but a cheap knockoff to save some cash
My apologies for not responding earlier. I have been crazy busy the last 3 months that I have been a little neglectful to responding to comments. Been remodeling my daughter's recently purchased home. In regards to the Darwin's grip. It is a fantastic innovation. He has made some fantastic upgrades and I will be putting a video out showing those upgrades/improvements later this season. The product is well worth the price and I would raise the possibility that , in this circumstance, that one might use the old saying "you get what you pay for!!" But to each their own. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
For a durable repair, reinforce the patch by imbedding ss screen or staples into the patch similar to how a car bumper is repaired.
My apologies for not responding earlier. I have been crazy busy the last 3 months that I have been a little neglectful to responding to comments. Been remodeling my daughter's recently purchased home. Thank you for the insight, that is a great point. I will have to use that method on a possible future repair on other items. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
I used to work in plastic injection molding., even though I was a material handler. It looks like you have the right idea about plastic welding this back together. Like you said, use the same material, that way it keeps it all consistent.
My apologies for not responding earlier. I have been crazy busy the last 3 months and I have been a little neglectful to responding to comments. Been remodeling my daughter's recently purchased home. Yes I had done some serious research to try and figure out what would work best, and the majority of what I found was "use the same material that the item is made of", so that's where I came up with using itself to make the repair...it's not quite cannibalism, but ......maybe!! LOL Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
Awesome video i wish i seen it sooner. Congrats to winner
My apologies for not responding earlier. I have been crazy busy the last 3 months and I have been a little neglectful to responding to comments. Been remodeling my daughter's recently purchased home. No worries. I am going to be doing a handful of "giveaways" this year. So look for those by subbing and hitting that notification bell. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
Thanks so much for the video. How did you cut the plastic off the side of the wheelbarrow please?
My apologies for not responding earlier. I have been crazy busy the last 3 months and I have been a little neglectful to responding to comments. Been remodeling my daughter's recently purchased home. I used a fresh blade in my utility knife and very carefully cut the edge off the wheelbarrow edge, and then of course, used itself to repair. I am sorry for the delay in responding. That is on me. Thank you for the comment. I hope to hear from you in the future.
